Man, that's almost as insane as working most of your life for nothing. He deserves his millions.

Anthony Hopkins killed and ate a guy.

I think Gal Gadot had to go to the gym for a few months for "Wonder Woman"

Just seems kind of egocentric

>>87464653
That you're afraid to stand out so you'll never do anything notable with your life

>>87464293
Wouldn't he be a better actor if he could have the same performance without having to do all that stuff?

Natalie Portman shaved her head for V For Vendetta.

>>87464789
yeah but

how is that an achievement

In Disney's cult classic Holes, starring Shia LeBeouf, the venerable star demanded he dig a hole before every desert scene in order to truly be tired, rather than attempt to act as such.

When asked about this, he simply stated, "I'm gonna kill my career one day, and I want to be sure I can properly bury it."

>>87465058
It is my legacy and also something notable.

>>87465081
it wasn't bad

>>87464876

Hard work is a talent in itself, it elevates those with talent into something that is truly a master, I don't think anybody can act like that unless they take the necessary preparations.

Fucking great actor. As far as I'm concerned, he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

Imagine an actor that gives a performance as good as DDL without doing all this retarded shit. For even the trained eye cannot see anything other than what's on the screen, does he think people care about what he did before the camera started filming?

Thats because theres no smouldering wake left by legends and their hypemen when it comes to fucking carpentry.

There is much more pressure in cooking or acting. Carpentry you just do it day by day and end up knowing a lot gradually. Same mastery, but different quest. I think its stupid as fuck but there you go, the difference between desired labor and "Le Arts"

bretty good my man

"In preparing for the role of "The Joker" in 2016 American superhero film "Suicide Squad" Jared Leto reportedly ate nothing but hot sauce and Indian-style curry for weeks on end. Apparently he did this to "create a certain aroma" in the men's public toilets as well as other areas on set, as Leto was reported to have defecated in various locations on the film's set, much to the dismay of his fellow actors and film crew."

>I think it was absolutely crucial that my younger co-stars (on Netflix's Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events) gave off a believable performance in their fear of my character, Count Olaf because, if they didn't seem properly afraid of him than the children watching at home wouldn't be properly afraid of him either. It was a lot of fun calling Malina late at night and being in character as Olaf telling her the things I, or rather Olaf, would do to her cunny. You know, during those phone calls I was almost able to understand the appeal of being straight.

I will never understand the American praise of method acting. In the UK and Europe it's really looked down upon.

Dustin Hoffman has long been known as one of method acting’s most earnest exponents. A showbiz story involves his collaboration with Laurence Olivier on the 1976 film Marathon Man. Upon being asked by his co-star how a previous scene had gone, one in which Hoffmann’s character had supposedly stayed up for three days, Hoffmann admitted that he too had not slept for 72 hours to achieve emotional verisimilitude. “My dear boy,” replied Olivier smoothly, “why don’t you just try acting?” (Hoffman subsequently attributed his insomnia to excessive partying rather than artistry).

The story sums up the innate suspicion with which we Brits still regard anything too arty-farty. Indeed, one of the reasons we are reputedly so popular in Hollywood is that Brits have a reputation for coming up with the goods without resorting to extensive tantric yoga exercises or a session with our psychiatrist before each take.

>>87464499
It's the easiest way for an actor to do his job while guaranteeing immunity from such damning accusations like 'he was phoning it in,' 'he always plays himself,' 'a tentpole and vehicle for X' and 'boring' Doing it well is the opposite of entry-level, and people who quote Olivier likely has never seen him act.

Gordo Ramsey seems pretty nice, saw him once in Amsterdam (no idea what he was doing there), he was sort of incognito with large sunglasses and a cap so I just nodded to him and whispered "big fan of your shows" when he walked past me, he stopped to shake my hand and then walked on.

The actor Jean Hersholt put himself through some crazy shit making "Greed" in 1924. Of course, everyone involved in that movie went through hell. Hersholt was the guy, though, on another movie, who spent weeks working on developing a note-perfect accent for the role.

It was a silent movie...
