Elsa Pataky has revealed the secret behind her dramatic look in her husband Chris Hemsworth’s new film, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
The Spanish actress, 47, who plays two small roles in the Mad Max prequel, took to Instagram on Saturday to offer fans a glimpse of the details that brought her character Mr. Norton to life.
Pataky revealed she used a customised mouth guard adorned with yellow teeth and a striking scar across her lip.
In a playful clip alongside co-star David Collins, Elsa joked: ‘I just love it. I should wear it everyday… I wanna keep it.’
‘Cate Blanchett asked for her ears after Lord of the Rings, you should ask for this and just use it everyday,’ Collins added.

Model Elsa had two small cameos in the film, first as Vuvalini General, who helps Furiosa’s mother Mary Jabassa (Charlee Fraser) go after her young daughter when she is kidnapped.
She later played a strikingly different character as she reappeared as Mr. Norton, a member of the evil biker gang led by Dementus (Chris).
Chris recently gave an insight into what it was like filming with his wife, describing it as like a ‘date’ because they had time away from their kids.

‘It’s kinda like date night for us because we have three kids,’ he told E! News during Cannes Film Festival. ‘Going to work together is when we get some alone time.’
Chris and Elsa who tied the knot in 2010, share daughter India, 12, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, 10.
Furiosa tells the origin story of a young Imperator Furiosa and was told over a 15-year period – much different from Fury Road, which spanned three days in its timeframe.

The latest Mad Max epic was filmed in New South Wales in 2022 and was expected to become the biggest movie ever to be made in Australia.
However, the prequel is fighting to break even on its USD $168million (AUD $251million) budget, despite a huge marketing campaign.
Furiosa managed to top the box office with an estimated USD $25.5million, via Deadline, with The Garfield Movie just behind at USD $24.8million.

But it was the lowest Memorial Day weekend at the box office in 29 years, since Casper topped the box office in late May 1995 with USD $22million, not counting the 2020 box office when theatres were closed due to the Covid-19 lockdown.
Many box office analysts had projected a debut for Furiosa in the USD $40million to USD $50million range.
Australian audiences also failed to show up to see the apocalyptic thriller, with box office website Numero reporting it earned just AUD $3.3million on its opening weekend.
