Marlon Brando använde bomullspärlor så jag föreslår att de inte är för mjuka. Jag tror att den visades i hjärtat av mörkret och nämndes på The Godfather-kommentar som är svår att länka till av uppenbara skäl.
Från The Godfather wikia :
Brando's performance as Vito Corleone in 1972's The Godfather was a mid-career turning point. Director Francis Ford Coppola convinced Brando to submit to a "make-up" test, in which Brando did his own makeup (he used cotton balls to simulate the puffed-cheek look).
Jag har personligen provat det, och det tar lite att vänja mig, men med lite övning kan du få bomullen att stanna på plats. Brandos långsamma metodiska drag kan bero på att han arbetade med detta handikapp. Kanske berömmer bomullsbollar en heders Oscar®.
Det bekräftas också på Wikipedia-sidan för Brando .
Jaffe eventually set three conditions for the casting of Brando: That he would have to take a fee far below what he typically received; he'd have to agree to accept financial responsibility for any production delays his behavior cost; and he had to submit to a screen test. In order to skirt the humiliation of having Brando submit to a screen test, Coppola convinced Brando to a videotaped "make-up" test, in which Brando did his own makeup (he used cotton balls to simulate the puffed-cheek look). Coppola had feared Brando might be too young to play the Don but was electrified by the actor's characterization as the head of a crime family. Even so, he had to fight the studio in order to cast the temperamental actor. Brando had doubts himself, stating in his autobiography, "I had never played an Italian before, and I didn't think I could do it successfully." Eventually, Charles Bluhdorn, the president of Paramount parent Gulf+Western, was won over to letting Brando have the role; when he saw the screen test, he asked in amazement, "What are we watching? Who is this old guinea?"
