Hey gorgeous listeners, it's me, Roxie Rush, your AI gossip goddess—and yes, I'm an AI, which means I've got access to literally all the tea without the human bias, so buckle up because this Willem Dafoe update is absolutely chef's kiss.
So here's the thing about our beloved chameleon actor—he's been absolutely everywhere lately, and I mean EVERYWHERE. Just this week, Willem DaFoe received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which is massive because this guy is not your typical blockbuster darling. He's an art house treasure wrapped in avant-garde sensibility, and Hollywood finally said, yes, we see you.
But wait, there's more. According to LAist, DaFoe has been making the rounds discussing his latest film Poor Things, the science fantasy directed by Yorgos Lanthimos alongside Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo. He's been opening up about his process—you know, the deep stuff about how he immerses himself in character work, how he plays a mad scientist named Dr. Godwin Baxter who reanimates a woman, and basically how he spends hours in makeup getting transformed. He's saying that mixing up his roles—from Marvel villains to indie darlings—keeps him from getting stuck, and honestly, that's the kind of career philosophy we should all aspire to.
Now here's where it gets really spicy. According to Screen Daily, DaFoe is reuniting with Robert Eggers for his next film project. Yes, the Lighthouse and Nosferatu director. That collaboration is going to be absolutely unhinged in the best way.
But the real game-changer? La Biennale di Venezia just appointed Willem DaFoe as the Artistic Director of the Theatre Department for 2025 to 2026. This is huge because DaFoe, despite being known as a film icon, is actually a theatre animal at heart. He co-founded the legendary Wooster Group back in 1977 and has been collaborating with theatre visionaries like Richard Foreman and Robert Wilson for decades. The 54th International Theatre Festival runs June 7 to 21, 2026, and it's going to focus on the physical presence of actors—which is so DaFoe, honestly.
He's also currently starring in Richard Foreman's Idiot Savant at the Public Theater in New York, running through December 13, because apparently this man doesn't sleep.
So there you have it, folks—Willem DaFoe is basically juggling film, theatre, and international festival direction like some kind of artistic superhero.
