According to an interview with Variety, actor Matthew Patrick Davis, who plays The Mother in “Barbarian,” had no idea what he was getting into when he signed on to play the role in the film. He did not see any renderings of the monster at all when he headed over to Bulgaria to film the movie. Several tests later, after a “too cartoony” first look, the Bulgarian crew and director Zach Cregger landed on the look of The Mother that’s in the film.

The role required the actor to be pretty much naked, with the exception of prosthetic appliances. Davis said, “I had a weird plastic fake a** but it looked so bad it was just like, ‘We’re just going to have it with a thong.'” He continued that per Cregger’s request, “I did Veet my entire body, which was a fun experience that I had never had before, but I asked if I could not shave my eyebrows because he was going to cover them with prosthetics.”
