No, it’s not! This is not what Paul looks like in real life. See a recent photo below!
In an interview with Yahoo, Paul was asked how they achieved the look of the eye. He replied: “It is a mystery that I cannot reveal. It’s all just the magic of film and acting. I can’t tell you exactly how we did it. I have been sworn to secrecy, sir.
Paul also said People, “I’m not allowed to tell you. I’m not kidding. It’s a state secret. I have been sworn to secrecy. Alexander enjoys the fact that people wonder so much how we did it. He and I just say it’s the magic of film acting. That is what it is. “It’s just movie magic.”
Dominic Sessa, who plays the young student in The remainsspoke about the eye with The Daily Beast.
“It definitely confuses you,” he said. “It helped get into the character more, because when his eye does that, his whole face changes, his whole aura. You really see it because of the character: he loses all his Paul Giamatti.”
When asked if the eye was created with CGI, Dominic said: “I have the same questions. It was a huge frustration for me! I was not aware of any of that information. I don’t know if it was pure acting, I don’t know if they had an eye contortionist, I don’t know what they did. I’d see him on set and his eye was messed up, and then I’d see him when we were done and his eye was… not messed up? If he asked him, he would simply say, “It’s acting.” I guess I’ll take his word for it.”
