Actors often need to make great sacrifices in order to be closer to the psychology and state of the character when shaping the role. For example, Joaquin Phoenix loses 50 pounds for the Joker; Bill Skarsgaard leaves an incurable psychological shadow for playing the dark clown Pennywise. So today we are talking about: 4 actors who have been changed by one character.
Movie "Joker"
In 2019, the movie "Joker" starring Jacqueline Phoenix set off a "bloody storm" around the world, and while admiring Phoenix's god-level acting skills, his dedication was also a major factor in the film's praise.
In order to perfectly restore the thin face shape of the clown in the comic, which is more in line with the mental state and emaciation form of the bottom of the original life, Phoenix actually lost weight from 150 pounds to more than 90 pounds, and his thin eyes were sunken and skinny. The lack of food and the lack of a living spirit are also more in line with the original Joker's state of malaise. However, after the shooting, in order to restore health, Phoenix quickly ate himself to 170 pounds.
Movie "Baby Piggy"
Oscar Best Supporting Actor, famous veteran actor James Cromwell has portrayed countless classic roles, among which "Baby Piggy", which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, also changed his life. After getting up close and personal with the "protagonist" Piglet during filming, Cromwell became an all-vegetarian, stopping eating all meat, opposing animal cruelty, and participating in protests several times.
James Cromwell
In 2019, Cromwell also produced an ad "Dear McDonald'" with up to 25 stars such as movie star Alison, NBA star John Sully and other members of animal protection organizations, calling on McDonald's to stop abusing poultry and implement scientific animal welfare standards for the chicken supply chain.
Hugh Laurie
Hugh Laurie has starred in numerous notable films, including the male lead in Fox's "House Doctor" from 2004 to 2012, and the lame Dr. House won him the award for best actor in a television series.
But because of his long-term role as a lame person in the play for 8 years, Hugh Laurie's knee was overburdened and slightly damaged. In normal life, there are sometimes even lame feet and leg paralysis.
Bill Skarsgaard
Many people do not know that the actor of "Pennywise" in the 2017 version of "Joker Returns" is actually played by the handsome guy Bill Skarsgard, and his vicious face, strange smile and terrifying image in the movie have become the nightmare of many viewers.
Movie "The Return of the Joker"
But in fact, the shooting of this film brought Bill a much bigger blow and shadow than the audience, in order to capture the most real fear reaction of children when they see the clown, the director isolated Bill and other children's actors throughout the process. During this shooting experience, Bill was almost entirely isolated, so that he left a lot of psychological shadows, and for a long time, Bill was deeply entangled in the horror nightmare of the "Pennywise" clown.
