Gladiator II fans are surprised by cameo of legendary UK comedian: ‘Why on earth is he in it?’
As a fan of both comedy and epic historical films, I must say that seeing Matt Lucas transition from a beloved comedian to a Gladiator II ensemble member is nothing short of astonishing. His journey from the small screen to the big screen is truly inspiring, much like the transformation of Russell Crowe’s Maximus Decimus Meridius in the original film.
Fans of Gladiator II were taken aback when unexpectedly, Matt Lucas appeared in the much-awaited movie blockbuster.
In the movie, the fifty-year-old humorist and performer made a short appearance, assuming the position of the host during the intense fight sequences involving Pedro Pascal as Marcus Acacius and Paul Mescal as Lucius Verus.
After the movie’s premiere on November 15th, I’ve noticed an influx of excitement on the once-known platform, now referred to as X, where fans have been vocalizing their shock over a hilarious comedian’s sudden and unanticipated cameo.
One user wrote: ‘Matt Lucas being in the cast of Gladiator 2 was not on tonight’s bingo card.’
Another asked: ‘Why is Matt Lucas in gladiator 2…?’
In another instance, someone wrote: ‘The role of host in Gladiator 2 played by Matt Lucas gave the entire production an intense vibe similar to a particularly tense episode of The Great British Baking Show.’
‘Biggest shock of gladiator 2 was matt lucas being in it,’ a fourth commented.
A fifth gushed: ‘Matt Lucas from GBBO in Gladiator II? My two worlds collide.’
A sixth added: ‘Gladiator II was sick but Matt Lucas being in it was a step too far.
Matt has been featured in films such as Bridesmaids, Alice in Wonderland, and Willy Wonka, and he recently shared with This Morning that securing a part in a movie directed by Ridley Scott is one of his most significant career accomplishments.
Earlier, he shared with hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, “I am part of four scenes. However, since I haven’t watched the movie myself, I’m unsure of exactly how many of my parts have actually been included.
‘But I had four trips to Malta and I’m the master of ceremonies in the big colosseum.
Even though I might not be a primary character, it seems you’ve mistakenly labeled me as such – in actuality, I hold the leading role in this film! Regardless, it was nothing short of incredible to be part of a Ridley Scott production.
In my acting career, I’ve been part of several substantial movies. Yet, the magnitude of this project was unprecedented and left me questioning whether I could pull it off at all.
As a die-hard enthusiast, here’s how I might put it: “To seal the deal, I found myself recording a battle introduction of mine and filming myself within the temporary abode I was leasing since my personal dwelling was undergoing renovations.
‘I think I did about 80 takes til I had one I wasn’t too unsatisfied with.
10 days after sending the tapes, I received an email stating that Sir Ridley Scott would appreciate it if I could come and work on the project.
The eagerly anticipated follow-up has received an impressive 73% positive critique from 225 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, earning it the label ‘Certified Fresh.’
As a devoted admirer, I’m excited to be part of the group that also features Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Lior Raz, Derek Jacobi, and Connie Nielsen in the Gladiator II production.
After Lucas displayed his remarkable weight loss, clad in a stylish navy-blue suit, at the premiere of Gladiator 2 on November 14.
The comedian, who has just gone from a size XXXL to a medium, showed elegance in a well-tailored suit, when he made his appearance.
In my expertise, I opted for a stylish layering approach. I paired a tailored suit atop a pristine white dress shirt and an eye-catching navy blue tie, adorned with a vibrant multi-colored square pattern. To showcase my streamlined silhouette, I proudly displayed my transformed physique.
In April 2020, Matt acknowledged his desire to improve his physical fitness amid the lockdown period, as he felt he had gained a modest amount of weight.
As a devoted adherent, I recognize the necessity of enhancing my fitness level. Recently, I’ve noticed an addition of some pounds, which has sparked a new challenge for me: increasing my physical activity.
When I step out for some exercise, I may turn it into a fun game to keep my distance from others since I don’t have a yard at home. So, I’ll need to find creative solutions for staying away.
Previously, the jovial individual had been advised by medical professionals to lower his daily caloric consumption to about 1,500 due to concerns that he might contract diabetes.
