And my wife, who gets one first. Casting everyone’s favorite wait-are-they-actually-serious? Afrikaans rap duo Die Antwoord in Chappie certainly adds a level of novelty value to a movie that already looks like a South African remake of Short Circuit where the robot throws ninja stars. But for Chappie‘s filmmakers and other actors, obtaining that novelty value required spending hours on set with two people who were not only not actors but unpredictable people.

It’d be like if Short Circuit had cast an actual rap group called “Los Locos” as themselves just to see what would happen. At least according to actor Brandon Auret, who has worked on all of Neill Blomkamp’s films so far, working with Ninja, aka Watkin Tudor Jones, the male half of Die Antwoord, was no picnic. Auret’s attempt to self-censor was palpable in a recent interview with The Movies.co.za, during which he nonetheless said: “Everyone knows the relationship that I have with Waddy. I don’t care much for him. I don’t care much for his band, I don’t care much for anything that he does. I did, very much so, I was very excited to meet the guy, I was a massive fan of Max Normal, but… you know, when somebody comes and feels that they have the right to tell you how to do your job? Yeah, it became an issue. But the kind of tension that we had off set was great for the film.” His characterization of Ninja being a general pain in the ass and telling the other actors how to act does dovetail with a South African tabloid report from about a year ago that was initially denied by the associated spokespeople.

That report said Ninja/Waddy was such a pain that Blomkamp went so far as reducing his role and writing him out of scenes to keep him off the set. That’s obviously unconfirmed, but I can tell you that Die Antwoord is nowhere to be found in Chappie‘s press kits (not pictured at any of the premiere photo calls), and the one promo image (out of 24) that includes Ninja shows him with his back to the camera. He’s in the first trailer for two seconds and not in the second at all. Not exactly the way you’d advertise a stunt casting move you were really proud of. Here’s some of that tabloid report: “He is pure evil,” said a female member of the crew. And she is not the only one to use the phrase. “That pile of sh*t” is how one cast member now refers to Ninja. “The other actors were gatvol. He told them how to do their scenes. He’d call and say they were doing it wrong and tell them how to do it,” said a source. Another said Ninja sent emails to this effect to other actors.

Two actors particularly targeted by Ninja’s director complex allegedly included US actor Jose Pablo Cantillo and local star Brandon Auret. A source said: “Brandon is the greatest actor on set, calm and present. You must know that if it gets to a point where he wants to hit Ninja he’s so angry, there was a serious problem.”champion hoodies 6xl City Press was told that Ninja’s own performance grew increasingly violent and physical and departed from the script.hoodie buddie discount code Yet Ninja “wanted to phone Blomkamp every five minutes” to discuss his character. trayvon martin hoodie fox news It is claimed by two sources that Ninja sent explicit photos – in the act of having fellatio performed on himself – to at least one female member of the set.naysayer hoodie

Several sources say he hit on female cast and crew, even in front of his partner Yo-landi. He invited them to Cape Town “telling them they would get a hotel room and hire prostitutes to join them”, said a source. Another source said Ninja made a pest of himself with local model and actress Tanit Phoenix. ecw hoodie “Die Antwoord are vegan and they refused to eat the vegetarian food on set. deicide hoodiesThey made their driver go into town from Soweto every day to fetch special food.”oversized hoodies yahoo answers Their image may be zef and trashy but the vegans only drink Veuve Clicquot champagne when they take alcohol. Ooh, demanding $40 champagne, those prima donnas. “Make sure the coffee is Starbucks or I walk! I don’t care how hard it is to find!”

Of course, take all that with a grain of salt, because it sounds pretty much exactly like the image Die Antwoord was already trying to present. Dude literally has “tension” (well, “ten$ion”) tattooed on his chest. I wouldn’t be surprised if their next album was called “Pure Evil” and had a picture of Ninja getting blown on the cover.Die Antwoord performing at the Ogden in 2012. Slideshow: Die Antwoord in Denver Last night, while most of Denver was sitting in front of their televisions attempting to discern which political figure is the least maniacal of the remaining nominees, Die Antwoord did not hold back the crazy — unleashing it on the Ogden Theatre.South African rappers Yolandi Visser and Ninja brought their high-class trash style to a sold-out crowd. After coming on stage with a pair of dancers in oversized orange jumpsuits with Japanese lettering, Ninja, Yolanda and the dancers relinquished these costumes for more rap-oriented attire. Stripping would be a common theme for Ninja throughout the entire show.

Before the opening song concluded, Ninja had already shed his oversized orange hoodie and his T-shirt underneath to expose a collection of unsophisticated tattoos. After he took a stage dive during the pair's second song, “Fatty Boom Boom,” the stripping would continue as Ninja exposed his ass for the first of many times throughout the show.The crowd embraced and cheered Ninja’s exposures, because after all, it was his birthday. Later in the set, Ninja crowd-surfed in nothing but his boxers, grabbing a fan’s blunt to smoke while the crowd supported him. The shining moment of Ninja’s night was mooning the crowd after they sang "Happy Birthday." Despite the birthday boy’s antics, Yolandi gathered a fair amount of attention herself. Despite a changing wardrobe, Yolandi's eyes were constant and striking. She wore black contacts, giving the illusion that her eyes were all pupil — a signature look she wears in many of the act's music videos. Framing her absorbing eyes was Yolandi's haircut: quarter-inch bangs perched high on her forehead with shaved sides and a cascading mullet of blond hair fanning out like a cockatoo. 

Die Antwoord’s seemingly outlandish personas and its embrace of Zef counterculture (which Visser has described as "You're poor but you're fancy") is precisely what makes the music relatable and popular.

To bridge the gaps for wardrobe changes, the DJ employed fast electronic music to keep the crowd engaged. The combination of electronic rave music and hip-hop rhyming bridges two popular music segments for many young adults. Many twenty-somethings listen to both EDM and are fans of gangster rap — which is a combination Die Antwoord has been exploring and perfecting for almost a decade.The U.S. has embraced Die Antwoord’s raw lyrics and in-your-face attitudes, which provide commentary on a post-Apartheid South Africa.
