According to David Thewlis, who costars with Brando in New Line's upcoming The Island of Dr. Moreau, the expansive actor "uses an earpiece" to help him remember lines. This led to countless technical difficulties on the set of Moreau. "He'd be in the middle of a scene," says Thewlis, "and suddenly he'd be getting police messages. Marlon would [repeat], 'There's a robbery at Woolworth's."'
Thewlis says he was still very impressed with Brando's legendary presence. "Marlon's pretty cool," he says. "When he walks into a room, you know he's around." Because he happens to be 300 pounds? "Oh," says Thewlis, "well, that too."
Thewlis might have been taking the piss - but it's still a great story.
