Method acting is a technique in which the actor seeks to put oneself in the shoes of their character's sentiments and life experiences. Actors often go to extreme lengths to prepare for a character.
Hollywood actor Tom Holland recently revealed, he used to secretly tend bars in London in preparation for his film, 'Uncharted,' which is based on the popular video game of the same name.
Holland discussed his preparation for the major role of Nathan Drake, the protagonist of the 'Uncharted' game series, in a recent interview with SiriusXM's Jessica Shaw. He discussed taking bartender lessons to better prepare himself and even served a few lucky customers in a London pub.
Turns out it's not just Holland, other actors like Robert Pattinson, Ashton Kutcher, and Robert De Niro have gone to extreme lengths to ensure that they look a part of the film.
Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson, Willem Dafoe, and filmmaker Robert Eggers all had a difficult time filming 'The Lighthouse,' but the 'Twilight' actor was the most impacted. In an interview with Esquire, Pattinson revealed the extent to which he went to get into character as a lighthouse keeper. “Because you’re playing a mad person, it means you can sort of be mad the whole time,” he said. Pattinson added, “Well, not the whole time, but for like an hour before the scene. You can literally just be sitting on the floor growling and licking up puddles of mud.” He also got so drunk for scenes where the characters are intoxicated that he would pretty much blackout.
