Sonu Sood "City Of Life" Makeup done by Jean Ann Black







Sonu Sood "City Of Life" Makeup done by Jean Ann Black

The bonds between Bollywood  and  Hollywood just got a  bit of  a boost.

Sonu Sood has just  finished  shooting an  international project  Ali Mustafa's  City  Of  Life  in Dubai    with Alexandra Maria Lara   the leading lady of Francis Ford Coppola's    latest film Youth For Youth .
 
 A major  part of the film requires  Sood to be badly disfigured after  a road accident.

Says  the actor, "Actually half of  my  chraacter's face gets mutilated.  I couldn't believe it when I  saw what miracle had been worked by the makeup  artiste.  I was horrified  to see my own face  in the mirror."

The makeup artiste  chosen to bring about  Sonu Sood's  half-mutilated face was none other  than  Jean Ann Black   the makeup artiste  for  Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Franklin.

Just back after completing the film in   Dubai  Sonu Sood  says,  "What she  did  to my face was  stunning and shocking. My makeup used to  take  3-4 hours every morning.  I had to sit patiently  as  50 percent of  my face disappeared under makeup—literally. And then there were these special lenses not just for the cornea  but the entire eye which gave it a scary clotted eye."

Sonu Sood is glad his little son wasn't with him to see his dad  transform  so  shockingly. "He'd have  got really frightened.  I did when I saw  myself. People who've seen what she has done can't believe  the transformation. They say  the makeup artiste has done as  good  a  job on  my face as she did with Brad Pitt."

And to  further complete the Brad-Benjamin  Button picture Sonu even has the actor who played Brad's father  in  the  film  as his costar.

Says  Sood, "Jason  Fleming who played Brad Pitt's father  in  Benjamin Button plays    the villain in City Of  Life."
