Chastain’s and Sheen’s role demanded long makeup hours

Jessica Chastain and Michael Sheen were guests on the last Graham Norton’s show episode. They both made a reference to the many hours that the makeup took on their new roles. Chastain said that the first time as Tammy Faye, her makeup took 7,5 hours to be done. In response to that, Sheen joked about it, suggesting that his makeup for the role of Tony Towers in “Last Train to Christmas” took more than 8 hours.

Here is the clip from Graham Norton’s Show:
