6 Craziest Things Actors Did To Prepare For A Role
October 28th, 2015
David Palmer
In the latest edition of “Leonardo DiCaprio’s Attempt to Finally Win an Oscar,” the actor slept in animal carcasses and ate raw bison liver for his role in “The Revenant.” So that got us thinking: what are the craziest things actors have done to get into character for and during a film? Does Leo even come close to the most insane? Well enough rhetorical questions, let’s get right to it!

5. Nicolas Cage: Birdy
By now, Cage has become a little bit of a joke in Hollywood for his overacting and his willingness to make awful films (Sean Penn said he is no longer an actor, but just a “performer”). But in 1984, while playing a Vietnam War veteran, Cage had four teeth removed and kept his face wrapped in bandages for most of the shoot (they became infected). He may have not won any awards for the role, but that is pure dedication. Love Cage or hate him, you can’t knock him for loving to act.
