Willem Dafoe fights with cat allergy in the new Nosferatu film!

Berlin, Deutschland - Recently, Hollywood star Willem Dafoe admitted in an interview that he had to master some challenges for his role in the upcoming horror film "Nosferatu". The 69-year-old actor, known from films such as "Spider Man" and "Poor Things", plays the role of the chewy scientist and vampire hunter Albin Eberhart von Franz, who lives with a variety of cats. The problem? Dafoe is allergic to these animals! As he revealed to the German Press Agency, he would have taken a large amount of allergy tablets before filming to get his symptoms under control. "I swallowed a lot of Benadryl in front of this scene, because yes, I had a lot of cats," said the Oscar winner and added that the scenes had not bothered him with the cats because he loves animals very much.

A masterpiece returns

The film "Nosferatu", which was staged by the renowned director Robert Eggers, is a remake of the legendary silent film pattern from 1922, "Nosferatu - a symphony of horror" by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau. In this gloomy reinterpretation, the freshly married Ellen Hutter, played by Lily-Rose Depp, is hit by the vampire Count Orlok, represented by Bill Skarsgård. The film starts in cinemas on January 2 in both Germany and Austria, which many film fans already expect. Eggers, known for his stylish horror films such as "The Witch" and "The Northman", promises to offer the audience a captivating and creepy experience.
