Gangs of New York : For playing Bill the Butcher, he flew a butcher from Peckham, South London to America to instruct him in carving up carcasses. He also hired circus performers to teach him to throw knives, and he came down with pneumonia during shooting because he refused to change his threadbare woollen coat for a warmer one on the grounds that as a poor 19th century New Yorker, he wouldn’t have owned a thick coat.
His preparation for the role was so intense that other actors were reportedly scared of him around the set.

His excessive preparation & immersion in the skin of his character irked Liam Nesson when DDL insisted on being addressed by his character's name when they met at the gym of their hotel.

There Will Be Blood : For playing Daniel Plainview, he refused to talk to his costars off the set & insisted on living in a tent in deserted Texas oilfield even after the shooting for the day was over.

In his fight scene with Paul Dano in a bowing alley, he actually pounded Paul with bowling balls.

Also there are rumours that one co-star quit the movie after branding DDL "crazy & intimidating".

The Ballad of Jack & Rose (2005) : For playing the part of a reclusive hippie, he built his own shack on the beach of a remote Canadian island, where he would spend the night after shooting had finished, while his own family was staying at a nearby hotel.

In the Name of the Father : To prepare for his part as the wrongly convicted alleged IRA bomber Gerry Conlon in the film about the Guildford Four, he spent three days subsisting on meagre prison rations and staying in a freezing cold cell. Those passing by on the set were instructed to abuse him and throw cold water on him.

He won awards but other actors who do much worse than him also win awards and get paid a lot more money to do so. He seems like he's autistic with "m-muh method acting" and the circle jerk is kinda stupid. There have been a hell of a lot better roles played by people who literally act the part instead of immersing themselves into the life of what they think might have happened 90 years ago

Thank you *bows and tips fedora*

That's my line.

>>82532103
Christian Bale went from 200lbs down to about 100 for The Machinist. He did it by eating either an apple or a can of tuna a day. He actually wanted to lose more weight for the role but the director thought it was getting dangerous.

Then less than a year later he's back to his pre-starvation muscular size. I'm pretty sure he used steroids to get all the muscle back that burned away from catabolism (when you're staving and have no more fat to burn, your body starts breaking down muscle mass for fuel).

That's the most extreme example I can think of.

Daniel Day Lewis insisted on wearing just his suit and overcoat that went with it in the middle of a brutal winter in Gangs of New York. He also ALWAYS stays in character when he's on set for a movie.

A number of actors got fat for roles. Deniro put on 60 for Raging Bull. Vincent D'onofrio put on 70lbs to play Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket. They both got a bit scared and depressed when it was far harder to loose that flab than put it on....

>>82534758
heinous

>>82543093
Or why would he have to import a butcher anyhow.... there's many in any city in the world. It's sort of an essential profession everywhere.

Though often times bandsaws are used rather than hand saws.... but I guarantee you any butcher that's worth a fuck can use a hand saw if they have to....

>While filming Maidstone, Torn struck director and star Norman Mailer in the head with a hammer. With the camera rolling, Mailer bit Torn's ear and they wrestled to the ground. The fight continued until it was broken up by cast and crew members. The fight is featured in the film. Although the scene may have been planned by Torn, the blood shed by both actors was real, and Torn was reportedly outraged by Mailer's direction.
