Update: Michael Douglas received on January 12, 2014 the Golden Globe for best actor in a mini-series or a TV movie for his role in my life with Liberace.On September 22, 2013, he had already been rewarded by Emmy Award for best actor.
The only thing that concerned Michael Douglas at the idea of playing the role of Liberace, the flamboyant superstar of Las Vegas?The 35 centimeters penis.
"He did not really measure 35 centimeters," he tempers this spring frozen afternoon.But on the screen, he still seemed huge.In the office of his Manhattan apartment with a view of Central Park, the actor, dressed in black, is seated at the bottom of a green club armchair broken down from velvet.Her gray hair turned back resemble the mane of a lion.The exterior light that bathes the room creates a counterattack: between its silver hair, its dark clothes and the naturally cinematographic setting, it looks ready to turn."Liberace loved sex and it was no problem.But, at one point in the film, Soderbergh wanted to show Lee watching a porn movie.I said to him, "Steven, you can't do that!"He replied: "But if, it's HBO, it's good!"I replied: "No, that's not it: I would like my children to see this film forbidden to minors, but I don't want to show them a cock of 35 centimeters!"As it was my only objection, for the porn scene, we inserted the cup plans for the apartment throughout the scene.»»
Michael Douglas marks a break."You know, Lee also loved the decoration a lot.He was a man of passions: his career, his crazy houses than the others and his private life as a homosexual.»» Lee, c’est le surnom de Liberace, pianiste aussi doué que kitsch qui fit chavirer des parterres de vieilles dames à Vegas entre les années 1950 et 1980.He is the main character of my life with Liberace, last (and excellent) film by Steven Soderbergh which released in theaters on September 18 but was broadcast in the United States only on a paid TV channel, HBO, because of its subject.
