Karl Urban opens up on Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ performance in The Bluff. Sharing about locking horns with PeeCee’s Ercell Bodden AKA Bloody Marry in high-octane showdowns in this Prime Video Original film, Karl noted that Priyanka is “second to none” physicality.
Quipping about his experience working with Priyanka in The Bluff, Karl expressed, “She was a delight to work with and I was impressed by the passion and commitment that she brought to the role. The physicality that she imbued Bloody Mary with is, in my opinion, second to none. There’s a particular scene in which she acts winded after being thrown out a window and it’s hands down the best winded acting I have ever seen. Seriously, it’s Sigourney Weaver-level good.”
Karl knows exactly what goes into making action feel real. She shared his own journey with combat choreography. He added, “I enjoy the form and flow of sword work, I feel it comes quite naturally to me. I’m probably one of the few remaining actors that can claim to have been personally trained by Darth Vader (aka Bob Anderson) who I was fortunate enough to work with on The Lord of The Rings. The sword fighting was no more or less intimidating than the fight choreography for The Boys – both are basically the same discipline. You need to devote time and energy to rehearse and learn the moves. It’s not something you wing. Ultimately it’s an exercise in coordination and trust.”
