LV: Yes, yes, we had to have, because Will’s own was too big. PK: Hold on - You had a stand-in d*ck? You had to have a stand-in d*ck for Dafoe? And we had to kind of take the scenes out of the film, we had a stand-in for him, we had to take the scenes out with his own d*ck. I wouldn’t let him treat her in any other way than with his d*ck, he has an enormous d*ck, but that maybe I took also. All that was kind of what you could read up about the film. You can say in the film it’s changed reality. You can say that one of the main ideas behind any treatment of this also is that a fear is a thought, and, you know, it doesn’t change reality. Lars Von Trier: Yeah, first of all, I have been undergoing this cognitive therapy for three years, and. I think it’s quite typical for me to be sarcastic. How would you advise him to treat the Charlotte Gainsbourgh character, and what does he do wrong? PK: Willem Dafoe, and I think you’ve mentioned this in another interview, is probably the worst therapist in the history of movies. Here’s an excerpt of von Trier discussing Dafoe’s problematic member during the filming of Antichrist with Boston Phoenixfilm editor Peter Keogh: It's just one of those things that exists independent of context. There’s really no way to lead into this story. I've always been game - maybe to a fault." He’s a professional who knows how to keep his wits while he’s losing it onscreen. Who is Willem Dafoe? He’s said of his choice of roles, "Yes, I am game. I'm always attracted to a strong director,” Dafoe offered. "When I give over to somebody's vision rather than have an idea of what I need to do, it takes me to places I wouldn't have got to by myself. This may explain his career and penchant for anything-goes-type characters. Was it his sex education at the age of 6 by his five “horny” sisters? Guardian reporter Stuart Jeffries theorized that latchkey kid Dafoe locked himself up in a dark closet one too many times and became a habitual pleaser of adults, game for anything. They’re looking for all the reasons Dafoe turned out the way they think he is. Many Willem Dafoe facts seem to center around the size of the actor’s manhood, which Lars von Trier described as “too large and confusing” to put on screen. One might find Willem Dafoe strange because of the way his biography gets hashed around a lot by reporters looking to make the actor weirder than he actually is. But you have to balance that against his performances in Speed 2: Cruise Control, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Body of Evidence, and Howl. There’s a lot on either side of the fence. Willem Dafoe has done stellar work in films like Platoon, To Live and Die in LA, Spider-Man (the first one - not the second or third one), and Boondock Saints (the first one - not the second one).
