Margaret Qualley described the filming of 'The Substance' as overly demanding, both physically and emotionally, revealing it took her a year to recover from prosthetic-induced skin issues.
The character Sue faces disturbing physical changes due to a serum meant to preserve youth, forcing Qualley to endure intense prosthetic application, leading to long-lasting skin problems.
Qualley recounted that by the end of shooting, the filming techniques had to adjust to her skin condition, as extreme irritation made her face unshootable.
Producer Pierre Olivier Persin detailed the challenges faced during filming, including intense heat that complicated wearing the extensive prosthetic makeup and costume.
