Actor Bill Skarsgard’s portrayal of the evil clown Pennywise in the 2017 horror movie It certainly was creepy. Pennywise terrorizes children in a small town, and Skarsgard took his role seriously. He said that when he was in the makeup, he didn’t act silly – instead he stayed in character, always acting weird and creepy.
During one scene, a bunch of kids come face to face with the terrifying clown. The children acting in the scene hadn’t seen Skarsgard in costume yet, so when he came out in full Pennywise character, they were actually really scared. One kid even started crying. That’s when the director called, “Action!” The kids’ fear in that scene is definitely real.
