10 Famous Actors Who Lost Their Minds Getting Into Character

By

A good actor is defined who can step into the shoes of his character. He can only reach out to the people if only he can incorporate himself within his role. But he should know how to differentiate between reel and real. To know more know about those who loss themselves to the hands of cinema, read further!

1. Nicolas Cage dressed up like a ghost wizard to get into character :

On the set of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Cage wanted to make sure he channeled the flaming-skull-headed spirit just right. So, knowing that his head was going to be replaced with CGI and not wanting to undermine the intensity of his performance, he coated his face in corpse paint and blanketed himself in a costume covered in Egyptian symbols and magical amulets.

He also admitted that his co-workers seemed afraid of him, but that their fear only made his performance stronger. This is probably true, because if there’s one thing one has learned about Nicolas Cage, is that his performances thrive on the terrified confusion of everyone around him.

2. Johnny Depp lived in Hunter S. Thompson’s basement and replicated every aspect of his behavior:

He spent years painstakingly creating his rendition of Hunter S. Thompson for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He took to living in Thompson’s basement, digging through his manuscripts, interrogating him about his life, and recording those conversations, presumably for personal reference and a sense that the recordings would later be subpoenaed as evidence. After living in Thompson’s basement for an undisclosed amount of time, he took Thompson’s red convertible and drove to Las Vegas to meet with director Terry Gilliam, wearing Thompson’s clothes that hadn’t been washed in 30 years. He doesn’t actually admit to consuming all of the insanity that his portrayal of Thompson does in the film, but he claims to have been true to the character while remaining “very responsible.”

3. Ashton Kutcher hospitalized himself for a Steve Jobs movie no One Saw:

At first, many of Steve Jobs films were there where audience gave hardly any importance. So, when Ashton Kutcher played the kooky fruit loving entrepreneur Steve Jobs in the 2013 biopic of Jobs, he decided that he would replicate Jobs’ personal diet to help him embody the tech pioneer. For an entire month, Kutcher became a fruitarian and he was obsessed with it. Two days before the movie was set to begin filming, he ended up in the emergency room, under so much pain and suffering from numerous vitamin deficiencies and a marked decrease in bone density.

4. Val Kilmer tried to become  Jim Morrison for The Doors:

When he was cast to play Jim Morrison in the film The Doors, Val Kilmer wanted to make sure his performance was as authentic as possible, so he took the time to learn a few of Morrison’s songs, which is completely reasonable. The final version of The Doors contains only 15 songs, which means that Val Kilmer spent countless hours carefully rehearsing 35 songs for absolutely no reason. Kilmer was just as obsessive when it came to getting inside Morrison’s head. Kilmer was so obsessed with creating a believable portrayal of Jim Morrison that, by the end of filming, he had everyone on set referring to him as “Jim,” all of the time.

5. Daniel Day-Lewis refuses to break character and lived in the wilderness for half a year:

Daniel Day Lewis is one of the most notorious method actors who has ever lived, because he consistently does crazy things to get into character for his roles. When Day-Lewis played Nathaniel Poe in Last of the Mohicans, he decided his character would not be believable to any audience unless he spent six months living in the woods, which he did. During that time, he learned to hunt and skin animals to feed and clothe himself, and he even taught himself how to build a goddamned canoe, because Daniel Day Lewis is a tap dancing maniac.

6. Shia LaBeouf cut his face and refused to bathe for Fury:

In order to get into the mindset of a cagey World War II tank soldier, he made it his mission to remain as smelly as possible for the entire shoot. Labeouf went four months without showering in order to experience what he imagined working on a tank crew in the 1940s must have been like. In order to shape the perfect character, he claims, he became Christian, spent a month on an army base, and spent days watching horses die. He also pulled out one of his own teeth and cut his face open in front of his castmates, who by that point were so unsettled by his antics that he was banished to a separate bed and breakfast for the duration of the shoot.

7. Jared Leto got way too into The Joker:

Jared Leto is so goddamned excited to be playing The Joker that his preparation techniques are actually psychotic.  Dressing like a homeless experimental musician, Leto sent disturbing gifts to his fellow cast members in order to capture the spirit of the Clown Prince of Crime.  He sent the entire cast a video of him with a dead pig. Amazingly, he found time in between all this important preparation work to take a Buffalo Bill selfie and put it on the Internet to delight Suicide Squad fans the world over. The film is supposed to be so dark and emotionally traumatizing that the producers provided the cast with access to an on-set therapist to console them between takes, which seems to suggest that they have forgotten they are supposed to be making a comic book fantasy and not Shoah.

8. Joaquin Phoenix went on a yearlong, crazed hiatus for I’m Still Here (2010):

After the two-time Academy Award nominee decided to quit acting to pursue a career in hip hop, most people had no idea what was going on and had virtually written it off as a hoax. After about an year of completely bizarre behavior and public appearances, Phoenix’s 2010 documentary I’m Still Here was released and declared to be staged. The actor later won an academy award for himself, so we can be sure he hasn’t lost it just yet.

9.  Kate Winslet took months to recover from performing in The Reader (2008):

Kate Winslet’s performance as a Nazi concentration camp guard for the 2008 drama film The Reader did not only earn her her first and only academy award win, it also took a significant toll on the actress for the months following the movie’s completion. She’s said that it took months for her to fully break free of the part, comparing leaving the character behind to escaping a serious car accident.

10.  Adrian Brody hungered and isolated himself for The Pianist (2002):

Brody gave it all he had, to be able to perform in Roman Polanski’s 2002 drama, The Pianist. Having mentioned that he felt that the desperation that comes out of hunger cannot be faked and has to be experienced, Brody hungered himself down to 130 pounds to pull off the emaciated look of a Holocaust survivor. He is reported to have said that his biggest fear was keeping his sanity and it took him over a year and a half to settle back into his normal life.

Getting Stoned v/s Getting Drunk

By
Dr. Aaina Aggarwal

“Let’s get another drink” said Swati.

“Oohhh…I reaaalllyy don’t think that will be a guud idddea…” was my slurry reply to her.

Yes guys, by now you must have guessed that I am, what we say is “drunnkk”.

We were almost half a bottle down in our hostel room ( ;)) and she was suggesting more. I might be drunk more than her but surely her decision seems to be affected much more than mine.

But according to her drunk logic, getting more drunk means having much more fun!

“Oooh come on don’t be a party pooperrrr…it’s still so much left in the bottle, how will I finish it all by myself,” she said with her pouty lips and puppy face.

Can anyone say no to that…NO! So HOW could I?

And that was how I and my best friend got drunk for the very first time. We drank till dawn, danced our asses off, turned our room into one hell of a mess, and, oh yes, we had the mother of all hangovers.

Don’t you dare look at me with those judgmental eyes!!

It’s something we humans have been doing for ages, and it goes by many names: getting inebriated, hammered, wasted, housed, trashed, and of course drunk. And I am pretty sure many of you guys do too or may want to try it out as well. Otherwise let’s face it you guys wouldn’t have clicked this link. Right?

Those rib tickler laughs, never ending “I loooovvee you sooo much”, those sexy dance moves (you know what I mean by sexy, don’t you?), drinking games, guilty confessions and unfathomable hunger makes getting drunk one of the most remember able nights of our college parties or if it maybe turn out, may even be one of the most forgetful nights because of all the freaking dementia (or is it just me?).

It takes one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can’t remember if it’s the thirteen or the fourteenth..!!(Kudos to this guy, he definitely knew me.)

On the contrary, getting stoned is totally different.It is when you are unable to move your muscles; everything feels weird and you kind off sit back with your mouth agape staring off into space, smiling and enjoying every single moment that goes by.

Getting stoned and getting high, are different from the idea that you feel like you are being weighed down by big heavy stones. The body becomes flaccid unable to move and you feel as light as a feather.

“Dude, I am flooaaaatingggggg”

“Hey man, I can’t move my legs….wooaaahhhhh I am stoned!”

Aren’t these some of the most commonly used terms by today’s youth?

“The Buzz” is described as the first stage of getting stoned, after two to three deep inhales of “The Stuff”, which make you floaty or buzz.

Then comes “The High”, when almost a joint is finished by an individual that takes you at an even higher level of buzz.

And then, it’s the final stage “Getting Stoned”. It’s when the perception of time slows down, a 5 minute long track feels as if it were to go on for more than a lifetime.

Both the delights have their own pros and cons. But I will always be biased towards “Getting Drunk”,as it creates a feeling of euphoria and makes you more talkative and courageous than ever. You see everything through vaseline covered lens, people are more attractive, hurts are not as painful, people are funnier, even the boring places are a lot of fun, and for some, socializing becomes like a walk in the park. Whereas “Getting Stoned” makes you less talkative, paranoid, tired and you might even have the trouble of concentrating. You will begin hallucinating, forgetting what you were saying in the mid-sentence, and then all you want to do is to be off to your la~la land (some may call it their dream land).

FYI: I am absolutely NOT a weed person! 😀

Well it’s up to you guys to decide which one you like better, and as I say college is the time to do all because never in life you will get the excuse to do such stupid things. So choose which one you like better may be you will change my mind.

In the end guy’s alcohol is not the answer, but it does make you forget the question….!!(;))

Girl enjoying underwater life in famous 5.8 undersea restaurant on Hurawalhi, Maldives

There are various astounding underwater restaurants around the world. Most of them are hardly known. Among these, Ithaa (means “mother of pearl”) is the world’s first all-glass undersea restaurant, where you can dine five metres below sea level at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island resort. Ithaa is the exceptional undersea restaurant of its kind on the planet. The 270 degree panoramic view allows visitors to dine while watching thousands of fish, reefs and other marine life without getting wet.

The acrylic structured restaurant has a capacity of 14 people with a transparent roof. The restaurant was opened on in April 2005.It is so skillfully structured that even the tsunami which followed the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake surprisingly caused no damage to the restaurant. It is designed by the Kuala Lumpur National Science Center and the building is qualified as the world’s largest aquarium tunnel. Its development was exceptionally ambitious. The entire 175-tonne structure was constructed in Singapore before being transported to Maldives. The maintenance is not that easy, the glass has to be cleaned everyday from outside and it costs a lot. However, the estimated life span of the restaurant is 20 years.

You can also book the restaurant for private parties and weddings. The restaurant is magical, more like walking down to a Utopian world through a dark windy staircase. While dinning, you can encounter distinctive fishes of various shapes and sizes and beautiful reefs that are beyond imagination. While the view steals the show, the food is great too. The cuisines are exceptionally delicious with extravagant add-ins, for example, caviar, lobster, or foie gras along with the supper. The menu consists of four-course lunch and six-course dinner in contemporary European style which is executed in an efficient manner. The lunch is lighter while the wine rundown offers a definitive of wines: champagne. Ithaa serves mainly caviar and Maldivian lobster. However you can order various fish menus unless you are not guilt stricken to eat it in front of its lineage! Since Maldives have very little agricultural value, so most of its weekly food has to be imported. Some of the famous desserts are: 57% dark chocolate mousse, rice crispy base & Valencia orange parfait, valrhona chocolate vantage, white chocolate praline, salty caramel sable, mango sorbet etc. Ithaa occasionally welcomes guest chefs from all around the world.

 

Since the restaurant is only open to guests of the Conrad Rangali, you can stay at the five-star resort, a wonderful place to stay and is spread over two islands connected by a bridge. So, go ahead and experience dining at one of the most iconic underwater structures in the world with your family and friends. It would be ideal if you can book the resort 14 days before especially when it is high time for vacation. Though the cuisines are expensive but your experience at Ithaa will be a memorable one. I will suggest saving money by having just a cocktail at the restaurant as the unforgettable experience matters the most. This will be a once in a lifetime experience at this massive Maldives restaurant. Folks! Ithaa awaits you.

Madness of Gods

Love, is it an understatement or is it overrated by today’s youth? Is it a way to express how you feel about someone or it’s just a mere emotion? Well, for some reckless minds like mine it means the world. Love is passion, an attitude, hunger so strong in itself that it makes everything appear so diminished. According to ancient Greeks the word love means “madness of gods”. Well certainly, love defines sanctity of soul, purest of every emotion. But what happens when love takes a step ahead and you are left with nothing but ashes of memories which haunt you for the rest of your life? The dark smoke rising up high in the air has tales to tell. All you want to do is reside in a shell, break down and cry. You want to tell the world how badly it hurts but you don’t do any such thing. You put your strong face forward and a kind smile. Over the years you learn how to survive, how to deal with loneliness. You try to hide the havoc you have created in your head but they have started noticing eyes within the liar. The darkness seems all beautiful and heavenly when the “love” dims it’s virtual existence. But again and again his face, those glittering eyes flash in front of you making you weaker with the hope of union. Your search in the sand is wasted cause things you are looking for are far away than buried. And with unsuccessful attempts to reach my “madness of gods”, i give up on the unreal dream cause I have met dead end every time love crosses my mind. In the process of moving on, most of the times there is a friend who has got your back. He is always around, whether you need a shoulder to cry on or someone you need to dance on celebratory little moments. He locates the rainbow after heavy rain or drizzly situations for you. You start to feel comfortable with yourself again unlike a soulless body. You don’t realize when did he start  seeing you as his  “madness of God”. He is too scared to pray to you to be his after all he knows what you are made up of. Ashes of past, one blow and it might blind you both. He is like an angel to you at one point of time and once he unapologetically reveals his feelings, you see a devil trying to grab his opportunity. You feel cheated, your friendship defeated. You try harder, to understand his feelings towards you. Now you understand why love walked away in the first place. It is not something you can force on someone or force yourself into for that matter. It just happens to cross your way but the hurt stays a while longer than you wish. And the ache makes you imperishable.

The Schema of Good “Wayfaring”

To search for the perfect moments do we travel far and wide. Travelling is indeed an experience of how we survive outside the boundaries of our homely atmosphere. Considering such a view it becomes very important to travel well equipped and perfectly packed with all the “Knicks and knacks” of the journey ahead. Listed below are some of the very essential “follow-ups” which might help one to sojourn well:

  1. Make a list:

Travelling should definitely be organized. Even if it’s an unplanned trip make sure you jot down all that you wish to carry with you on a list. The very foremost of all fundas of wayfaring are probably a “to-take” list.  And, yes do carry it along with you so that you do not misplace anything; moreover having a list makes it easier for future use, does it not?

  1. Travel light:

We don’t need to overburden ourselves with things we are hardly going to use while on a trip. A trolley bag and a handbag or a backpack should definitely fit all you need. If we manage we can survive well with the minimum of things we carry with ourselves. I mean why move around with your whole cupboard just for a few days?

  1. Don’t binge buy:

It is funny to notice how going on trips carries back home with it loads of things that we buy and which hardly find a place in our lives, leave alone our households. We really don’t need to overload ourselves with whatever any shop puts up on sale while on the go. Yes it indeed is necessary to bring back some memories but then not something which would end up at one corner of our house totally forgotten or out of use. Memories can be made without burning bucks on absolutely useless things as well, can it be not?

  1. A contact book:

When any other form of communication fails pen and paper work wonders. Just a small notebook with your name, address, any serious ailments one suffers from along with a few contacts to reach out to: when in trouble. That’s pretty simple a follow-up, is it not?

  1. Some hidden cash:

Whenever you travel opting for cashless payment is indeed a good choice but carrying hidden cash is essential too, some bucks tugged in somewhere inside your bag in case you need them. Hidden cash even comes handy when you end up spending a lot more than the stipulated amount on your trip.

  1. Grab a visiting card of the hotel you stay at:

Tourist places are unknown to us, we might often forget the place we are staying at, in such a situation a visiting card comes in very handy. Not only do you get the phone number to contact the hotel people when you need it but also when you forget your way back. If the hotels are not able to provide you with such cards, remember to jot down the name, landmark and phone number of the given accommodations.

  1. Carry your mini first-aid box:

Emergency situations as I have already written about do not occur with prior notice. A small bag full of some very essential first aid items should be an important part of your travel bag and if you accompany someone who has needs continuous medical assistance carrying a medicine box becomes a very important thing, as we really wish to have a hassle free journey, don’t we?

  1. Carry your medical records:

Apart from the first aid box one thing should also be added to your bag, if you or anyone who tags along with you suffers from any serious ailments then you should remember to carry your medical records with you. Furthermore Google allows enough information about good doctors in any tourist place, make sure to do a search online and take down information in case of emergency. As I mentioned earlier we all need a hassle free travel. Ensuring yours and your family’s safety should be a priority always, right?

  1. Carry power banks:

We are all stuck to our phones, plus we are far away from our homes. A technology like this is definitely a “must-have” and a very important part of our travel bags. It helps you remain properly connoted for emergency situations occur unannounced, it is always better to prevent than to find a cure, right?

  1. Drink packaged drinking water:

Travelling needs you to be healthy, if you are a person with a “weak-tummy” then carrying your share of packaged drinking water becomes a must. Even if you are fit and fine it’s no harm to spend some bucks on water rather than spending them on medicines later. Moreover keeping yourself hydrated is very important, is it not?

  1. Avoid spicy and unhealthy food:

While we Indians are big foodies, it must be taken into account that unhealthy food needs to be avoided. Eat well while you are on the go. Definitely indulge in the local delicacies but avoid over-eating things. If you want it then eat it, but prefer to keep a check on what you might be eating. A healthy body makes a fitter mind to travel, right?

  1. Dry foods are a must:

I have often felt too hungry while on the move, I would always wish to keep on munching something or the other. This can be your condition too, so before you leave on the journey grab some dry foods that can easily be carried and have a long shelf-life.

There we go fellas, these are some of those important notifications to your travel minds, go around immerse yourselves in the aura of the wanderlust. Travelling had always been a much loved phenomenon in all my life, hence I really wished to share certain good habits of mine with all so that just like I enjoy the ease of surfing through the land you all get it too. Hope my little effort reaches out to all those wayfarers like me.
