'Manny Jacinto from "Freakier Friday" reveals that he dreams about Jude Law: Insights provided'
Manny Jacinto, known for his role as Jason Mendoza in The Good Place, has taken on a new challenge - perfecting a British accent for his role in the upcoming sequel to the classic film, Freaky Friday.
The movie, titled Freakier Friday, is a continuation of the original Freaky Friday, and features Lindsay Lohan in a leading role. Alongside Jacinto, the cast includes Jamie Lee Curtis and Chad Michael Murray.
Jacinto's British accent in Freakier Friday was heavily influenced by his frequent observation of Jude Law. To prepare for the role, he watched films like The Holiday multiple times to emulate Law's voice and mannerisms. He also mentioned Henry Cavill and Sam Claflin as other British actors he considered for inspiration.
To perfect his British accent, Jacinto worked with a dialect coach and credited the eight months he spent shooting a project in the UK for helping him pick it up "through osmosis". His dedication to the role was so great that he started seeing Jude Law in his dreams.
During an appearance on Good Morning America, Jacinto revealed these details about his preparation for Freakier Friday. However, he did not disclose any new information about his role or character in the film.
Despite his extensive British accent practice, Jacinto remains a proud Filipino, as he was born and raised in the Philippines.
Freakier Friday is set to be released on August 7. Jacinto plays Lindsay Lohan's character's lover, Eric Davies, in the film.
Freakier Friday, the upcoming sequel to the classic film Freaky Friday, promises to deliver a star-studded ensemble of entertainment, incorporating movies-and-tv favorites like Manny Jacinto, Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Chad Michael Murray. Interestingly, Jacinto is making a significant effort in his performance by perfecting a British accent inspired by actors like Jude Law, Henry Cavill, and Sam Claflin.
