- Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is out in cinemas now, and to mark the return of the epic franchise, we catch up with actor Kevin Durand about the unorthodox methods he underwent to prepare for the role.
Durand told The Independent: “I did four weeks of ape school, watched a lot of documentaries on bonobos and spent time at the zoo” to get into character as the despotic ape leader, Proximus Caesar.
The Independent has been at the frontline of journalism since 1986, with its mission to challenge and debate always ahead of its time.
In today’s increasingly fragmented world, communities want real facts and frank opinions delivered first-hand from a non-biased news brand that they can trust.

😂😂😂😂
I've had a hard day this was the first thing that made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
😂
That was a good one 😂
Thank you sir, you are appreciated 😂
Kevin durand is massively underrated
Vasiliy Fet was the only reason I watched The Strain.
💯
@@SometimesOriginalbingo. The old dude was pretty cool too. The dynamic between him and the Nazi. Superunderrrated show. First season was “perfect!!!” It went downhill after that.
Yes!!!
Facts bro!
He's such a versatile actor.
This guy is seriously talented and underrated
It's an amazing actor.
Walking tall he was awesome and the blob etc
Vasiliy Fet is an awesome character. The way he was in that show rocked !!.
He was so good as Harbard in Vikings aswell he’s far too underrated
That ape voice tho. Kevin Durand needs to find a band and come out with a metal album 🤘
Sounds like Murmaider by Dethklok
Yes😂👍
Truth.
He's a French rapper actually
He sings with Indoor Garden Party.
"Did you just call me blob?" "No i said bub"
I thought he looked familiar!! Lol
THAT'S where I've seen him before! Lol
Fred Dukes? That looks like the creature that ate Fred Dukes!
@@ultraviolet540 "oh your real funny Logan"
Lmao
This dudes been there bad guy or henchmen in so many films, glad he’s getting his due now, good actor
Played in Vikings as well as a “god” an his characters he creates or has to be are always pure and like it’s a “Real person” ✊
Imagine this guy as deathstroke
Now that you've said it, I can't stop seeing it!
@@AlishaHerbiederbie hahahaha yeah I think he’s so underrated everything I’ve seen him in he’s good and he would kill it as deathstroke since Joe is no longer deathstroke but hey Kevin can do it and he’s the right height for it too let’s make him our new deathstroke!!!
My guy you might be onto something.
@@MarioGuzman-kr6go thank you man thank you I think he would absolutely kill it
Ab the same height too
Proximus was such a great character and Kevin crushed the role. Wish we would’ve seen more from Proximus in the film
Who knows 🤷♂️ maybe he survived the fall? Unlikely but ya never know
I loved this guy in The Strain
He was great in that
After years of not being able to afford streaming services I got to finish the series loved it
Also in Stargate SG1
This!
Yeah the strain was awesome
Damn he did a good job with the voice
I love how this guy kinda played the big dumb Brunt and most of his roles but really this past couple years has been expanding. Love this guy.
He had my attention when he played the heck out of Gabriel
I loved legion!!
I will never forget that movie!
@@Glum1964 yes it’s a classic
@@GabrielMacDougall very memorable
I forgot he was in that. Helluva movie
Is it me or is this just a more manly Elon musk
I don’t think that’s Elon Musk at all
Yeah, I sees it 😮
Kevin spacey
Basically
bro shut up i'm laughing
All the losers hating on the guy when he’s doing well for himself and they can’t relate😂🫵🏽
From rat catcher to Ape is a crazy come up
Been a fan of this dude for a LONG time, massively underrated.
In every clip I've seen of Proximus, he's so compelling and charismatic. I can't wait to go see the movie.
They didn't do him justice
This guy needs more recognition
Ever since lost I’ve been obsessed with this actor. So so so talented.
Kevin been around forever. Love watching him work. True actor.
I thought that was Idris's voice first time I saw the trailer. I'm glad this guy is finally getting recognition just like Walton Goggins.
Glad he is getting his flowers now! He is legit great in everything. To the point where i underrated him aswell! He was great in Abigail and the best part of kingdom
Oh i didnt know he was in planet of the apes. Hes an incredible actor. He sneaks into many different genre of film and steals the spotlight. He was a viking god, and even an xmen.
Wasn't he Blob?
Glad he made it off "the Island".
Is that a lost reference lmao
@@thelonetacoj6487 - Yup.
Reference is from X-men Origins Wolverine
His character in origins had already attacked the lost island and pretended to get stabbed to death. They were mercs
i thought it was a reference to epstein’s island
If you haven't already seen him in Abagail, he is amazing in it. Really worth seeing that movie.
😂😂😂😂 loool he was funny on that movie was bummed he died
I was so shocked on finding out he was the same actor at Abigail 😭
He killed both of those movie roles
This man has just gotten better and better the last 3 decades. Such a good actor.
he was so good, i hope he returns in the sequel wanted more of his character
He won't. His character died after falling off a cliff.
@@fearfulclan2007 we did not see a body and you know what they say no body no confirmacion
@@fearfulclan2007I’m 50/50 about that because he fell in water and we never saw his body, as well remember the fall that noa had in the beginning of the movie and he survived. It’s very plausible that he is alive
@@liamgade8399 We never saw Koba's body and he's dead.
@@breyanadebrah9791 Even Stu Macher was dead
Why isn't Kevin Durand more celebrated? I have never been disappointed in any of his acting rolls. Best Archangel Gabriel ever
I thought Proximus was a captivating villain and if they are really to make another two movies I hope he comes back. He strikes me as a type that even after getting torn up by eagles, he could swim to shore and plan a brutal revenge. Long Live Proximus Caesar.
I'm so glad to see him on a big movie again, this man can play every type of charachter. I have such a big respect for him
Kevin Durand is soooo good at playing and guys!
Underrated actor for sure, this man chews his roles up and spits them out ❤
Every role ive seen this guy in, he has done amazing. Criminally underrated actor.
I love this guy.
You can tell he loves this character by him always taking advantage of the opportunity to play him
Every roll he does is always amazing. Always. He's never missed.
Big fan of this guy and the movies he plays in. This was pretty hilarious “I did 4 weeks of ape school.” 😂
100% Empathic .100% understatetment .....more then an actor. talking in a way an ape would do it without knowing how he would do it is just genius. I'm impressed as foook
This dude is so good that he can either play goofy comedic characters to sinister villains
Loved this actor in 3:10 to Yuma & Smokin Aces. He can play a hell of a villain that’ll make you hate but that’s his task & he does a damn good job of it. Give this man MORE roles!
A wonderful actor/performer. He’s an artist.
Imagine, reading a potential hire’s resume, and you read: “I went through 4 weeks of Ape School.” 😂
Anybody here remember him in Mystery, Alaska? My favorite hockey movie and actually his very first movie gig. Such a classic
Looking forward on his next role !
He's so good at playing villain characters.
I love how he's still moving like an Ape even on the interview
Kevin Durand as Gabriel is still one of the best acting roles I’ve seen to date.
I wonder how often he books a hotel and everybody gets excited thinking oevin durant is coming. 😂
That dude right there is probably one of the better actors of our generation and he is the most slept on dude that guy is amazing
Kevin would make a great Tamerlan charachter, He would fit 100%.
if you remember that chimpanzee sanctuary lady whose face got torn off by a chimp, you know how dangerous chimps can be.
Most chimps don’t act like that one did though. That was a tragic case of an animal that was drugged into compliance while being held in solitude during sexual maturity. So much went wrong for that situation to unfold how it did.
@@tbug50 i'm not saying most chimps do. i'm saying that they are very, very strong and dangerous. to the point where they can just use their bare hands to tear off human flesh.
He was definitely one of the best parts of the movie‼️
Dude has been one of my favorites since Walking Tall with the rock.
Kevin Durand is absolutely one of my favorite actors ever. Definitely a top 5.
Kevin definitely needs more recognition. He's severely underrated ❤
Great actor I remember watching him on
The Strain...
He’s been “goon #3” for so long I’m happy for him he gets to be a lead finally
Dude is such an underrated actor! He tends to play bad guys, maybe that's why. But he is really a good actor.
I love this guy's process, he's been around, time 2 shine "moviestar"
Dude is a phenomenal actor a student of his craft bravo
Gotta love all the 12 year old haters, calling this cringe, but yet will obsess about everything fortnite and call of duty.
Y'all so unhappy with your pathetic lives, you gotta come online and try to talk shit about someone who has way more passion for life than you do.
One off the best method actors around. Him and James spader 110% great actors
He consistently demonstrates exceptional acting abilities.
Been watching him from the beginning! Great actor!
I’ve always enjoyed he’s acting. From mystery Alaska to Robin Hood he’s so good at portraying each character. I’ve always felt a great actor can be defined when you watch a film and in that 2hour span, you don’t see the Hollywood actor, you truly see the character. What I mean is so often do you watch a film and see the actor but your thinking of what other films they have been in while watching. There are few actors that are so good that watching them you don’t see their past performances, you don’t even see that actor you simply see the character. I love those actors that leave you feeling as though you witnessed something and not just watched something you know
My next job interview:
- ‘I did 4 weeks of ape school’
He is super underrated. It's crazy how soft and thoughtful he is in real life when his best known characters are the total opposite.
Always enjoyed his acting.
this man is talking about this like it’s an achievement for humanity
Somebodys jealous
@@wingedferret5713 of ape school?
@@powder1137of being paid millions for a fun job
@Rebel-butcher1014 I didn’t pay for school
There’s a scene when the girl pulls out a firearm she shoots a chimp and you see him hover around behind the other chimps as a shield. That scene of him looking over there shoulders while asking the girl if there’s any more guns in the bunker, for some reason that bit stuck in my head then when I googled who the actor was I fkn lost it 💀 bc that’s something he would actually do. Some movies he plays are really good role as an a**hole
Love this guy! So underrated!
Love kevin Durand, want to see him in more!
That opening line caught me off guard a bit. Not gonna lie
They were taking the Micky out of you😂
This man is an excellent actor.
I love this guy, he often plays antagonists and hes great at being an asshole or though guy on screen
I also liked him in the movie “I’m number 4”. Great actor.
I've always loved this man's talent
He's such an amazing actor
He did a great job, the voice sounds like a convincing blend of ape and human
He learned how apes hold their hands for 4 weeks.
The way he said that was so much pride cracks me up I mean, dude that’s hilarious. I could never tell somebody that with a straight face.
Ps I was talking about , “ I took 4 weeks of ape school”! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love Kevin Durand. He’s one of my favorite actors.
He will forever be Joshua for me. ❤
Love you Kevin!!!!
Good Actor this Lad.🇮🇲👍🇮🇲
He was so good in lost, might actually watch this series finally
Love this guy, great actor!
“They’re gonna hang me in the mornin, I’ll never see the sun”
Fun fact, as someone who has worked with hand tools (hammers, trowels, shovels, picks, etc), my fingers stay curled like that, especially my right hand (I’m right-handed).
He's so dreamy... One of my favorite actor for sure 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Never knew how amazing actor this guy is until this year
Hope he gets an award for his work - best villain in a while
So amazing, always love his characters
Didn’t expect the guy from wild hogs to be such a theater kid lol
That's what I know him from too 😂
Principle of Ape School: I knew this would come in handy some day...
Dude was a great antagonist. I didnt know it was this guy!
I've always liked this guy , he has a lot of good movies
His acting was one of the best parts of the movie
Wow! Didn't know he was such a talented actor.
