Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This adapts Leguizamo's 2011 Broadway show 'Ghetto Klown,' itself a rewrite of his earlier 'Freak' — he's been roasting his own life for decades.
The bathtub framing device wasn't in the original stage show; De Villa added it to justify the film's visual language, making the whole thing technically a dying hallucination.
