Actors Who Never Recovered From Their Most Distressing Roles

Skarsgård said that he returned home only to start experiencing "very strange and vivid Pennywise dreams." He explained to EW that Pennywise was visiting him in his sleep: "Every night, he came and visited. It was in the shape of either me dealing with him, sort of Pennywise as a separate entity of me, and then also me as Pennywise in circumstances that I didn't appreciate. Like, I'm Pennywise and I'm really upset that I'm out in public and people are looking at me."

Regardless of this creepy phenomenon, Skarsgård reprised the role in It: Chapter Two.
