Marc Maron calls his 'Avatar: The Way of Water' audition a 'ridiculous’
Marc Maron has opened up about his 'ridiculous' audition for the role in the movie, titled Avatar: The Way of Water.
In a recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Maron revealed that “That was ridiculous. Why would I want that job?”
The 59-year-old further said: “James Cameron is not a bad guy, I don’t think. I don’t know.”
“You got out there. You go to this office and he’s like, ‘I want you to read…’ I don’t even know what it was, a doctor, a scientist who drank,” remembered Maron of his audition with Cameron, the Joker star continued.
He mentioned: “I’m on camera, I think. I got a picture, a boat, or whatever it is. I’m in the middle of this thing and I’m totally untethered and I have no sense of character,” noted Maron.
The actor added: “I don’t know really what’s happening other than there are several unidentified actors and acrobats all around me.”
In the end, Maron is thankful to God because he failed the audition. He said that he did not want to stay away from home because Avatar 2 was filmed in New Zealand.
