Method actors doing insane and/or based shit and getting away with it because they're method actors.>For his role in "The Last King of Scotland", Whitaker gained 50 lbs, lived solely on beans and mashed bananas, and learned Swahili in order to play Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. He stayed in character for six months, causing his real-life family to stop talking to him out of distress.
>>221788962I fucking love method actors. The BTS stories of their retarded behavior is better than the movies they do it for.
>To simulate the drunken madness of his character, Pattinson routinely drank to the point of blacking out, threw up on set regularly, and spent scenes where his character was urinating his pants by deliberately doing so.Wow I cant even imagine being like this especially while doing your job haha that's crazy
>>221788962>i hate you black bastards>you make me sick>i hate the black keys on a piano>i hate black pepper>i hate my gums cause they black>i hate the back of forrest whittaker's neck AHH!>but most of all>i hate that black ass wesley snipes!
>Jared Leto would send disturbing items to his co-stars while preparing for his Joker role in Suicide Squad. Fellow cast members received bullets, used condoms, a dead pig, and Margot Robbie even received a live rat. Leto insisted that the cast and crew call him "Mistah J" when he was on set. He appears in the movie for about 10 minutes.Before you judge, think about what you would do if you could mail Margot Robbie any object you wanted with no consequences by saying it was the Joker who actually did it.
>>221789443His screentime was heavily cut down from the original. Leto's version is modeled after drill rappers rather than terrorists or mobsters
>>221788962For the role of Sinon in The Odyssey, method actress Ellen Page chopped off her tits to become a "man".
>>221788962Let's be realHe just wanted to eat them beans
>>221789673what tits lol
>>221788962Imagine the braps
>Ashton Kutcher followed Steve Jobs' strict "fruitarian" diet while playing the tech visionary, which didn't go so well. As per his wife Mila Kunis "He was so dumb. He only ate grapes at one point. We ended up in the hospital twice! With pancreatitis! It was really dumb!">The real Steve Jobs died in 2011 of a respiratory arrest caused by the metastasis of a rare, treatable form of pancreatic cancerIf you told me 15 years ago that Mila Kunis was smarter than Steve Jobs I wouldn't have believed you.
My boy why don't you try acting
>Matthew Lillard intentionally screamed himself hoarse in his car in order to achieve Shaggy's signature raspy voice. While screaming in the Warner Brothers parking lot, producer Chuck Roven walked by and asked if the actor was losing his mind, to which Lillard replied he was just preparing for an audition.
>>221790017I don't want to deal with some psycho fuck seeing me in a movie and deciding that I'm married to them. Seems like no matter how big or small, you are statistically bound to receive at least one stalker as a celebrity. I just don't want to deal with that.
>>221789443why, what's particular about margot robbie
I wanted to like this movie but I hated the close up grainy camera style.
>During the filming of Kramer vs. Kramer, Hoffman would insult Streep regularly, slapped her across the face before filming a tense scene to ensure maximum animosity, and even went as far as making fun of her recently deceased boyfriend>He also made his on-screen son, seven year-old actor Justin Henry, cry by telling him he wouldn't see his friends on the film crew ever againDangerously based
>>221789443>no consequences by saying it was the Joker who actually did it.Larry David also does this by claiming Curb Larry did it
>2010's "Rabbit Hole" is a drama starring Aaron Eckhart and Nicole Kidman as a couple whose son is killed. Eckhart thought it sensible to prepare for the role by going to an actual support group. He stayed in character, crying and trying to convince 20 real bereaved parents that he had also lost a child.
>>221790241he didn't say that
>>221789901you're not gonna get pancreatitis from eating fruit, timmy
>>221788962I am more impressed by actors who can switch on and off, who can instantly become a completely different person just for the duration of a scene, and then instantly go back to normal, like Depardieu, who can do a dramatic scene in a historical piece and then go back to farting on the other actors face for giggles
>>221790515The doctors literally told him that drinking too much carrot juice is what gave him pancreatitis so unless youre also a doctor maybe shut the fuck up.
>For the 2011 film "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance", the actor would sew Egyptian artifacts that were thousands of years old into the folds of his clothes, and paint an Afro-Carribean voodoo icon onto his face each day before filming. He refused to speak to anybody on set so that other cast members would become frightened of him.
>During his performance in Scorsese's "Silence", a film about 17th century Jesuit priests, Andrew Garfield claims to have lived like his character by abstaining from sex for six months.Jesus, SIX MONTHS? Can you imagine going without sex for that long?
>>221788962That was a good movie.
>>221790515too much of it and too little of anything else
>>221790728I can't imagine
>>221788962I think I might be the only person interested in what crazy bullshit Jeremy Strong does to prepare for rolls. I've never heard a single story about what exactly he's done, but I've heard repeatedly he always goes way above and beyond for his method.
>>221790728Longer than two months is actual abuse
>>221788962>STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE
