Was The Heat Worth The Alien Suit?
Simon Pegg has always been a die-hard Star Wars fan, so he jumped at the opportunity to play Unkar Plutt in The Force Awakens. Most fans wouldn’t recognize him thanks to a combination of a suit, makeup, prosthetics, and CGI.
Although effective, Pegg admitted that the suit was a disaster. On The Graham Norton Show, Pegg said that the suit was 50°C inside (122°F). “I had these big, rubber, silicon gauntlets…and when I took them off, I could pour the sweat out.” Yikes.
