Vincent D’Onofrio took a moment to remember the 25th anniversary of Men in Black this morning. On Twitter, the Daredevil star talked about the makeup that went into his role as Edgar in the movie. People will remember how an alien bug basically hijacks his body for most of the film and the wild amount of makeup necessary to convey his transformation. Clearly, it still sticks out in the Kingpin actor’s mind. His post today thanks Barry Sonnenfield for working with him. Rick Baker also gets a shout-out as well. Men in Black is beloved by both Gen X viewers and late Millenials. Multiple summers of the decade starred Will Smith as a charismatic hero. But, there’s something about this July 2 weekend blockbuster that has endured over time. Check out what D’Onofrio had to say down below.
