Why acclaimed actor Willem Dafoe wears so many faces: "I really am in it for the adventure"

For an actor who's appeared in blockbuster franchises and earned decades of critical acclaim, Willem Dafoe remains something of an industry anomaly. And now, in "Poor Things" – Yorgos Lanthimos' follow-up to "The Favourite" – he's an inquisitive Victorian physician whose young charge, Bella, is also his latest experiment. She's suicided, and I think this is a great opportunity, being a man of science, "Why don't I put the baby's brain in this woman's body?" "You've got to be able to let things go in order to really be free, and make something that isn't something that you already know." I don't want to say it's self-serving, but I'm not into interpreting something that I know and crafting something to tell people that is my experience.
