Quentin Tarantino criticized Paul Dano's acting in the 2007 movie There Will Be Blood during a recent podcast appearance
"He is weak sauce, man. He's a weak sister. . . Austin Butler would have been wonderful in that role," Tarantino said
Dano famously costarred with Daniel Day-Lewis in Paul Thomas Anderson's historical epic, which won two Academy Awards
Quentin Tarantino holds a particular distaste for Paul Dano's acting, particularly in the 2007 movie There Will Be Blood.
Tarantino, 62, described Dano, 41, as "weak sauce" during his Tuesday, Dec. 2 appearance on an episode of The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast as he and host Bret Easton Ellis talked through Tarantino's opinions on the top movies of the 21st century. As Tarantino named There Will Be Blood, the 2007 epic that Dano costarred in with Daniel Day-Lewis, his fifth-favorite movie of the last 25 years, he said the movie "would stand a better chance to be in number one or number two if it didn't have a big giant flaw in it."
"And the flaw is Paul Dano," Tarantino said. "Obviously, it's supposed to be a two-hander, and it's also so drastically obvious that it's not a two-hander. . . He is weak sauce, man. He's a weak sister. . . Austin Butler would have been wonderful in that role."
When host Ellis asked Tarantino whether he thought Dano was simply the wrong actor for the part, the famed director said, "He's just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. . . Daniel Day-Lewis shows that he doesn't need [a strong foil in the movie]. He doesn't need anything. The movie would've had more — there would've been more stringiness to the beef. And again, it's supposed to be a two-hander, and it's not."
When Ellis contended that Day-Lewis' performance in the movie is "so gargantuan" that it perhaps overshadows Dano's, Tarantino responded, "So you put him with the weakest male actor in SAG? The limpest dick in the world?"
"I'm not saying he's giving a terrible performance," he added moments later. "I'm saying he's giving a non-entity [performance]. I don't care for him. I don't care for Owen Wilson, I don't care for Matthew Lillard."
Dano and Day-Lewis, 68, costarred as a preacher named Eli in California during the early 20th century and fictional oil magnate Daniel Plainview in director Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood. The movie's story revolves around a feud that develops between Dano's Eli and Day-Lewis' Daniel as Daniel's company constructs large-scale oil pipelines in Eli's hometown. Day-Lewis famously won the second of his three career Academy Awards for the part.
