The View' Screams Away Stress with a Monster Howl
2 Mar
Summary
- Hosts engaged in primal scream therapy led by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
- The exercise was inspired by Christian Bale's 'monster howl' technique.
- The segment promoted Gyllenhaal's new feminist film, 'The Bride!'.
On a recent episode of "The View," host chairs were replaced with a unique stress-relief activity. Actress and director Maggie Gyllenhaal led the hosts through a primal scream exercise, inspired by her upcoming film, "The Bride!".
This cathartic session was a direct result of Gyllenhaal sharing how Christian Bale, who plays the monster in her new film, coped with extensive makeup hours. Bale employed a 'primal scream' or 'monster howl' technique, which the talk show hosts eagerly adopted.
The hosts, along with the audience, participated in three loud yells. The segment also saw personal confessions, with Ana Navarro exclaiming "Trump is still president!" and Whoopi Goldberg humorously stating, "I have gas!", prompting further vocalizations. Gyllenhaal connected the feeling of release from the screams to the experience audiences will have after viewing "The Bride!" in theaters this week.
