Antonio Banderas Describes Make-Up As 'Intense'
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Burger-Beard, the villain who will be the hilarious team's ultimate challenge, will be voiced by Antonio Banderas. "It's almost working a little bit blind but in the context of basically having fun. These movies will all the respect that I have for kids movies. If you don't have fun doing it, they will not have fun watching it." he said.
In addition, Banderas described his make-up to be 'intense'. "I couldn't get the makeup off normally. I had to shave it off - all this plastic coming off my face. It was like a bear attacks you in the morning and stays for 12 hours."
But despite this, he says he enjoyed the role and honors Spongebob's role to the children. "He's a very optimistic character. ... He has a solution for every problem. That's a good message for kids. There are good values that are attached - values of friendship and loyalty." Banderas added.
Meanwhile, Spongebob wasn't at all afraid to take on some competition on the date of the movie's release. Spoofs went viral as the squishy yellow sponge took the form of Mr. Grey of "Fifty Shades of Grey", "TheTerminator" and a T-Rex in "Jurassic World". It's every bit of nautical nonsense and fun!
