11 Sacrifices Actors Made for a Role

hi everyone not all people understand how much effort movie actors have to put into their roles acting could seem pretty easy just memorize a few lines of text sit in an armchair in front of a makeup artist and film a scene not necessarily from the first take but in real life everything is not so simple often artists have to lose or gain a lot of weight prepare for the role for months change their voices and wear bulky outfits and tons of makeup for hours today we will tell you about several actors who made real sacrifices for the sake of a role by the way at the end of the video we will reveal the secrets of the famous tooth scene from the hangover movie watch the video until the end to not miss a thing let's get it on [Music] it usually clowns need at least an hour or two to apply their makeup but we're talking about an unusual clown a movie villain pennywise who in addition to frightening makeup also has a creepy look and a mouth full of fangs in the movie adaptations of stephen king's novel it swedish actor bill skarsgard played the role of this fearsome clown naturally without makeup he doesn't look like him at all before each scene the actor had to wait in the armchair for a long time until a makeup artist finished his work this image was actually very different from the pennywise portrayed in the tv show of the 90s in the movie adaptation from 2017 the costume designers wanted to create a new pennywise which incorporates the styles of different historical periods for example the ruffle collar around the neck was popular during the reign of queen victoria and elizabeth just like the high waistline and ruffle elements on the shoulders wrists and ankles as for the makeup this was also challenging according to bill he had to get to the movie set very early in fact his work on a character began long before filming the actor thought through every detail of the image from facial expressions to an ever-changing voice pay attention to pennywise's smile too bill created it by pulling his lower lip to his chin it's hard to believe that this is not the result of applying makeup or visual effects though of course the rows of terrifying teeth were created using computer graphics guardians of the galaxy marvel and dc movies are created using a lot of cgi it's simply impossible to film something like this live but still actors have to make quite an effort to transform into their characters take nebula from guardians of the galaxy actress karen gillan who plays this character came to the set at 2 or 3 am to allow time for an extensive makeup work before filming even began the girl shaved her head which is already quite a sacrifice but that of course was not enough for the role of a space supervillain the actress had to endure at least four hours on the makeup chair to transform into nebula the reason is that the makeup artist applied a five-piece prosthetic makeup on karen's face it took at least half an hour to remove the makeup too but it's hard to imagine how the actress's skin felt under all these additions castaway the plot of the movie cast away tells us about the main character named chuck noland played by tom hanks chuck's plane to malaysia ditches at sea during a terrible storm and he finds himself on a desert island being the only survivor obviously living in the wild would greatly affect the appearance of the protagonist but the visual effects in 2000 were not as advanced yet that is why castaway was filmed in reverse order first the scenes in memphis where chuck wanted to propose to his girlfriend but suddenly had to go on another trip for these scenes which don't take up that much of the screen time hanks gained 23 kilograms then filming was suspended for about a year to give the actor enough time to lose weight and grow a beard well how else can a person completely isolated from civilization look like you don't need to be a doctor to realize that putting the body through such stress is detrimental to their health as a result in 2013 the actor was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and he's firmly convinced that it was caused by the endless diets he kept for several roles rapid changes in weight are also to blame nutrition specialists call it the yo-yo effect when a person successfully loses weight but soon gains it due to stress and then the cycle repeats again hanks believes that he is also to blame for what happened although his blood sugar level was always above average he kept losing and gaining weight and almost did no exercise the dark knight one of the most important milestones in the career of christian bale is the filming of christopher nolan's trilogy based on the comics about batman it's clear that special effects and superhero costumes are a huge part of these films however actors also had to work hard bale as the leading actor was very thorough with this transformation into the caped vigilante he worked a lot on his voice the actor was constantly practicing different intonations as bruce wayne bale was calm and steady and as batman he sounded husky and menacing bale spent weeks training his vocal chords using the voice of a vigilante even off the set so tell me about the rabbits he even lost his voice at some point but this is not the most tragic thing later the actor's voice was digitally altered during editing so his effort was in vain actually the dark knight movie became so successful thanks to the mind-blowing acting of heath ledger who received an oscar for his role as the joker but unfortunately he received it posthumously there are theories that the role of the crazed clown drove ledger to his death my left foot it would be logical if characters with disabilities were played by the actors with similar handicaps but in real life this almost never happens however this doesn't mean that we can't have believable movies about this subject daniel day lewis who played the courageous christy brown in my left foot proved it by the way for this role the actor even won an oscar the plot tells us about the man named christy who suffers from cerebral palsy many people including his own father don't take him seriously however thanks to his persistence and support of his mother he learns how to draw with the toes of his left foot and becomes an artist as a true professional and a very talented actor daniel decided to fully get into the character he spends as much time as possible in a wheelchair he even refused to leave it during lunch demanding that his assistant spoon fit him just like the protagonist in addition the actor also learned to take the posture characteristics of a patient with cerebral palsy but once he overdid it and broke two ribs daniel has always been known for his exhaustive off-screen preparation for roles he personally killed wild animals and even spent some time in a real prison the lobster the mood of this auteur film which won the jury prize at the cannes film festival seems grim even for the viewers the plot tells about the guests of a mysterious hotel who have 45 days to find themselves a couple otherwise they will turn into an animal sounds creepy right we can only imagine what it was like for the actors on the set but for colin farrell the challenges began even before filming in the movie he was supposed to be a large single man going through a divorce so the actor had to gain almost 20 kilograms in two months colin never really was fat he'd always been quite a slim guy that's why he had to go to extreme measures to gain so much weight for example defrost buckets of ice cream in the microwave and drink it like water eat two hefty pieces of chocolate cake for breakfast and to top it all off devour greasy pizza juicy burgers and other fast food of course i'm still here last year the movie joker caused quite a stir especially the main character played by wacky phoenix who won a whole bunch of awards at the end of the year phoenix has actually been acting since childhood and his talent for transformations was obvious long before arthur fleck's story take for example the 2010 pseudo documentary i'm still here it tells the story of several months of phoenix's life he announces the end of his acting career and decides to devote his life to hip-hop yeah you heard right the actor did it not on the set but in real life but you you are you're not gonna act anymore no he went on various tv shows and gave interviews in which he spoke sincerely about his future as a rapper and seemed like a crazy person the actor looked quite untidy and let his hair grow on his head and face well he also performed on stage of course that's a given as a result the plot of the film was kept secret until the release and many really took phoenix's statements seriously even people from the movie crowd and those close to him after the prank was finally revealed the actor shared his vision of the meaning of the film phoenix and the movie's director casey affleck wanted to show the behind the scenes of the life of a public person in films they are usually constantly in front of a camera lens become objects of speculation and at the same time desperately trying to figure their lives out phoenix even admitted that he was surprised by the naivety of the media who sincerely believed his performance the girl with the dragon tattoo if you don't know that elizabeth salander was played by rooney mara it's very hard to believe it in real life the actress usually looks like a very pretty brown-haired girl with nude makeup and a classic style and clothes in the girl with the dragon tattoo though she played a reversed hacker girl with a short black haircut bleached eyebrows a scattering of tattoos all over her body ear tunnels and many face piercings before the filming mara was so far from the world of body modifications that her ears weren't even pierced of course she could have used fake piercings but the actress decided that everything had to be authentic so for the sake of the role she had to make several punctures cut and dye her hair and even lose quite a lot of weight after all in the books by stig larsen mara's character is so thin she's almost anorexic and that's only the visual part just imagine what the actress had to do to start thinking like the daring genius hacker by the way in real life rooney mara and wacky in phoenix are dating in may the media reported that they were expecting their first child we wonder if we should wait for a film with both of the incredible actors in it up for love you've probably never heard of this film it made a modest box office and the reviews were not all that ecstatic however there were some interesting things about the filming process in the story the main character alexandra played by jean du jardin is shorter than 140 centimeters because of this his relationship with his beloved diana a rather tall woman is not taken seriously the actor however is over 180 centimeters tall how did they solve this problem during shooting though easily enough du jardin acted on his knees during most of the movie but that of course was not enough later the image was completed using computer graphics in some scenes the actor was also replaced by a short understudy who also consulted the screenwriters in the heart of the sea another story of extreme weight loss for the sake of the role this time we're talking about the australian actor christopher hemsworth who played one of the crew members of the ship the essex in the disaster film called in the heart of the sea the ship is attacked by a giant sperm whale and the sailors have to spend a long three months in the sea away from land food is scarce things are heating up and the characters of course are literally fading away hemsworth and several of his colleagues had to go on a strict diet to look like the starving poor sailors the actor said that his daily diet consisted of only one boiled chicken egg a pair of crackers and a stalk of celery in the end hemsworth lost about 15 kilograms according to him 90 of the conversations between him and colleagues on the set consisted of discussions of what they would eat first thing after the shooting was over the hangover so are you ready for a story we mentioned at the beginning of the video when the characters of the hangover wake up the next morning after a freaky party they are in for a lot of unpleasant discoveries and complete amnesia due to the incredible amount of alcohol they consumed here you have a tiger in the bathroom a running chicken and someone's crying baby but a character called stew whose role was played by edward helms finds a gaping hole where one of his front teeth should have been now everything you see in this scene is true the actor's tooth was not removed during the editing stage and was not painted over either helms actually appeared in the scene without it well it was not quite a tooth but a dental implant which the actor removed specifically for this role what's funny is that edward had to install it back when he was 16 because a molar never grew in place of his baby tooth hold on a second do you want to see some crazy
