The makers have finally unveiled the hours and efforts it took to make the actor get into the character with the use of make-up and prosthetics.

Director Andy Muschietti revealed that he created a general image of Pennywise on a paper and later “Rob McCallum, the concept artist added the smile that go all the way through the eye and the eyelids and end up in a spike.”

As per the directors, it is a tough job to get the make up on and off for a person as it is quite time consuming, but Bill always remained patient about.

Barbara Muschietti said, “Bill is a saint because when he plays this character, between putting it on and taking it off, it’s a good three and a half or four hours of his day.”

It: Welcome to Derry is finally coming to an end as the finale episode is set to premiere on December 14.
