Taika Waititi has so far shown us his amazing directing, producing, and writing skills, just as much as his acting skills. Much can be said about him and his talents, most in positive notions. So when Taika Waititi refers to his acting as ‘lazy’, one would find that hard to believe with his astonishing acting and voice acting as iconic characters.
Although the director calls his acting to be lazy, his role as Adolf inJojo Rabbitand Korg in the last twoThormovieshave made fans roar into applause. Known for his humorous approach and a lack of fear to challenge the unchallenged, Taika Waititi managed to create a name for himself much bigger than one would imagine.

Taika Waititi’s Unique Acting Turning Heads
Taika Waititicalls his acting lazy because he does not wish to switch his accent or does not like to do as much research on his characters. This however can be very well mixed with another fact that he mentioned in an interview with Wired. Waititi stated that he could not as much be bothered to attempt to be another character and just chooses to be himself, and of course, the audience loves it!
“I just played Blackbeard in Our Flag Means Death. I went on Wikipedia, and I typed in ‘Blackbeard,’ and there’s too many words!” He went on to say that he saw Blackbeard was from Bristol, briefly looked at the Bristolian accent, and then decided, “Nah, too hard.” He went with his own accent and explained, “My range is me. I don’t try.”
He continued to state how even when playing Hitler, he did not read so much about him and instead took a humorous approach towards the character, which can be considered highly risky for a role that requires so much sensitivity. That did not stop Taika Waititi and much to his surprise, the movie gained a lot of praise for his role, acting, and the new angle on the character itself.
