Actor Eric Elmosnino took on the daunting task of playing the famous French singer Serge Gainsbourg in the recent biopic Gainsbourg: Vie héroïque (A Heroic Life).
Luckily, he got lots of help transitioning into the character from the
Spanish make-up shop DDT Efectos Especiales, which created several
facial pieces and effects to age the character from his thirties to his
sixties, and to reflect his hard-living habits. DDT also crafted age
make-up for Gainsbourg’s parents and an oversized facial piece for his
alter-ego, La Gueule, with help from a mechanical apparatus designed by
Chris Clark. Make-Up Artist magazine’s Issue 93 covers the story in depth, but we couldn’t resist sharing some of the extra exclusive photos that DDT sent to us. Enjoy!

transition between the young and old Gainsbourg looks and represents the
many layers of the pop icon.

Web Exclusive: Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Young Hellboy - Monday August 04, 2008 |
| From a make-up perspective, the first major character to appear in Hellboy 2 is
a younger version of the hero, seen in a 1955 prologue with Professor
Broom (John Hurt). The Young Hellboy character was created by the
Barcelona-based company DDT Efectos Especiales and played in a
gender-bending twist by the company’s Montse Ribé. |
