Actors and actresses often have to give extra efforts in order to get into the soul of the character and bring out the best of their actions. Oftentimes, it can be led to a dangerous extreme diet to lose or gain weight as well as action acts that can cause serious injuries and even death.
Green Lemon would like to give props to all actresses and actors who have given their best and more to these movies that have become our favorite of all times.
1. Joaquin Phoenix lost 52 pounds for ‘Joker’ and gained 25 pounds back after the movie.
2. Isla Fischer almost drowned while filming ‘Now You See Me’ in front of the whole cast and crew as they thought she was acting.
3. Samuel L. Jackson’s iconic line below was actually improvised, attested by Jake Gyllenhaal himself.
4. Bradley Cooper spent 4 hours a day for 6 months with a dialect coach to imitate Sam Elliott’s voice, praying Elliott will accept to be cast.
5. Frozone’s wife (Honey) in ‘The Incredibles 2’ was cut out because the director thinks it’s too long to be in the middle of a big action and is also a joke in of itself.
6. Cher recalls that she was basically forced to be in ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’ sequel by Ronnie Meyer, Universal Pictures’ head.
7. Jordan Peele revealed that is ‘Us’, the 3 leather gloves in each Tethered person were a nod to these figures: O.J. Simpson, Freddy Krueger, and Michael Jackson.
8. Timothée Chalamet was actually wearing an earpiece and listening to a song during this scene in ‘Call Me by Your Name’. It was CGI’d out.
9. Instead of ‘I love you’, Millicent Simmonds made a simple, but touching suggestion to sign ‘I have always loved you’. John Krasinki cried to this.
10. Thor’s improved line ‘He’s a friend from work!’ was an ad-lib by a kid during Make-a-Wish event.
11. Chris Pratt had a bizarre full-circle event when filming ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ in Maui, Hawaii. He lived here 20 years ago in a van with another friend.
12. Henry Golding was doubtful about auditioning for ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ because he thinks they need “someone else who’s a legitimate actor”.
13. Naomie Harris had 3 days to finish her filming for ‘Moonlight’ because of visa issues. She was nominated for Academy Award.
14. Tiffany Haddish refused to audition for ‘Get Out’ because she “don’t want to get no curses”.
15. Tony Stark’s entire death scene with Gwyneth Paltrow, Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Holland were entirely made up after a quick briefing with Kevin Feige and Russo brothers.
16. Write-director did not miss his chance to add Ryan Gosling’s worst audition experience to ‘La La Land’, acted out by Emma Stone.
