The withered look on Branagh's legs was achieved through the use of CGI.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I will not cast away my physic but on those that are sick.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Has he all that the world loves and admires and covets?—he must cast behind him their admiration, and afflict them by faithfulness to his truth, and become a byword and a hissing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
