Liev Schreiber is a talented actor who has starred in films, television shows, and on stage; and is known for his intense performances and his ability to inhabit a variety of characters. Schreiber’s first major film role was in the 1996 horror film Scream. He played Cotton Weary, a town loner who is suspected of being the killer. Schreiber’s performance in Scream was well-received, and he went on to star in a number of other films, including The Daytrippers (1999), The Manchurian Candidate (2004), and X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009).
Now, it would be unbelievable if one said that Liev Schrieber, who portrayed the vicious Sabretooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, could be made to feel nervous by anybody but himself in the mirror; but as it turns out, that is every bit the truth.
Liev Schreiber and his problem with beautiful women
Liev Schreiber was born in San Francisco, California, in 1967. His father was an actor and his mother was a photographer. Schreiber began acting in his teens, and he studied at Juilliard School. After graduating from Juilliard, Schreiber began his acting career in New York City.
The Californian actor had something so menacing in his portrayal of Sabretooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, that it becomes slightly difficult to even look at the actor as a regular human being with feelings, such is the effect of his intense acting skills.
However, in an interview with Cinemablend from last decade, Schreiber admitted to feeling a certain way around beautiful women. Upon being asked how and what it was like working with Angelina Jolie in the movie Salt, he said,
“I hadn’t known her very well, at all. I was very nervous in the beginning. I get very nervous around famous people and I get nervous around beautiful women. This was a big double whammy for me and initially really uncomfortable, which was worrying me. I felt like the important part of the job for me was to develop familiarity with her because that was the humanizing factor. But then we bonded over kids very quickly. I have 2 small kids and she has 2 small kids and it quickly became, “Oh you’re doing time-outs now? That’s just teething.””
“And all the s-xual tension went out of the room. All the anxiety about her being very famous and a super-human celebrity kind of went away and I found this very nice easy person that I could relate to.”
Well, if it’s just Angeline Jolie we are talking about, it is clear that Schrieber has nothing to worry about. Her goddess-like state of being is bound to make everyone nervous, including probably Sabretooth himself.
