Alex Wolff’s latest film, M. Night Shyamalan’s “Old,” marks the 23-year-old actor’s return to the genre that solidified him as one to watch: horror. However, Wolff recently revealed the same film that garnered him such acclaim in the first place, “Hereditary,” left an indelible mark long after the cameras stopped rolling.
Wolff was promoting “Pig,” the Nicolas Cage-starring drama (and Wolff’s second major film of the summer, along with “Old”) in an interview with Collider when he brought up the lasting effects of his role in Ari Aster’s horrifying feature debut, “Hereditary.”
“I’ll tell you that movie did about as much damage to me as a movie can do,” Wolff told the outlet, admitting the damage included psychological effects and loss of sleep.
