Hey everyone! So, I was just watching this super interesting YouTube video about method acting, and boy, did it get me thinking. You know, method acting is when actors really get into character, like they become the person they’re playing on screen. It can be pretty intense, and sometimes, it’s not always smooth sailing for everyone on set.
The video mentioned actors like Daniel Day Lewis, who stayed in character throughout filming “Phantom Thread,” and apparently, his co-star Vicky Krieps found it a bit frustrating. Then there was Tom Hardy in “Mad Max: Fury Road,” his method acting clashed with Charlize Theron’s style, making filming tense.
They also talked about Jeremy Strong getting tear-gassed for “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and Vincent D’Onofrio causing tension in “Full Metal Jacket.” Even James Franco in “The Disaster Artist” made his co-stars uncomfortable with his method approach. It seems like method acting can really stir things up on set!
The video also touched on some actors like Mads Mikkelson and Robert Pattinson, who aren’t big fans of method acting. And remember Fat Bastard from Austin Powers? Mike Meyers went all in with method acting for that role. Jared Leto has faced criticism for his method acting too.
Some people think method acting is a bit overrated or even unnecessary, while others believe it can add depth to a performance. But there’s also the downside of it coming off as narcissistic or pretentious, especially in extreme cases.
All in all, it’s fascinating to see how actors dive deep into their characters, but it’s also eye-opening to hear about the challenges it can bring. It’s like a whole different world behind the scenes of our favorite movies!Have you ever tried method acting? Share your thoughts in the comments!Watch video on YouTube
