Does Netflix have an obsession with cheekbones

Can Cheek Bones Get You a Role In DC Adaptations? That&#8217;s Exactly What Tom Sturridge and Robert Pattinson Did

Fans are noticing a weird obsession that DC has with cheekbones. First, we saw
how Robert Pattinson became the Dark Knight from a Vamp. Now, we see the same
transition in Tom Sturridge. For the portrayal of Morpheus, often known as
Dream, Tom has been receiving a lot of love. Many fans say he was made for the
role.

Let’s see how people compare this cheekbones obsession of DC to the typecast
they bring us.


WHY IS TWITTER GOING CRAZY ABOUT TOM STURRIDGE’S ROLE AND WHAT IS THE COMPARISON
WITH ROBERT PATTINSON?

Although becoming a part of a huge Netflix production was a career high point
for Tom Sturridge, playing such a well-liked character was no easy task. The
comparison with Robert Pattinson comes after the praise Pattinson got for his
role in The Batman. When the news first came out, a lot of people came out and
said he would not be fit for the role. However, he proved everyone who did not
believe in him wrong.

Coming to Tom Sturridge; he needed to portray the cosmic being as accurately as
he could to live up to fan expectations. Talking about his role, he stated
[https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-sandman-star-tom-sturridge-starved-himself-to-play-the-lord-of-dreams-89tz9fss7]:
“Dream has no flesh on him, he shakes with energy that is just sinew and
muscle.” Further, he explained in the same interview how he had to starve
himself for the role.

While they are good friends in life and their career trajectory quite different,
both have one more thing in common: high cheekbones. And it looks like DC loves
high cheekbones or so say fans and Netflix.

We all remember when DC decided to cast Heath Ledger for the role of
Joker, nobody believed he could be a could Joker because he is too sweet-looking
for the role, but he has an Oscar to his name now. This is the type of
method-acting DC sees and even though, cheekbones are important, we do not think
it is the only reason why these talented actors are in DC now.

DOES TOM STURRIDGE THINK HE REACHED HIS FANS’ EXPECTATIONS?

Anyone who has seen the first episode of The Sandman
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-sandman] will tell you how great of an actor
he is. He did succeed in his goal, appearing every bit the malnourished
Morpheus depicted in the comics.

When discussing the pressure he felt with The Sunday Times, Tom stated
[https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-sandman-star-tom-sturridge-starved-himself-to-play-the-lord-of-dreams-89tz9fss7]:
“I felt a frightening level of responsibility with Dream..”, this shows how
serious he was for the role and now fans are seeing his hard work. If you want
to stream The Sandman, you can now head over to Netflix!
