Reminds me of a story from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, where Aragorn kept getting mauled but kept right on ticking. That's why Jackson was impressed with him and took time to congratulate him for being tough, and took a direct dig at Sam's actor for stopping a shoot for getting hurt. Some intel, Peter Jackson hated Astin, he was hard to get along with, caused fights wherever he went, was picky as hell, always tried to be way too helpful and was genuinely enraged when people brushed him off. They lost more than a few days of shooting schedule just trying to deal with his drama.
>Peter Jackson hated Astin
I heard they all did. Didn’t Astin write a book a few years go that basically him just b***hing about everyone he’s ever worked with, when it’s clear he’s the problem.
No, its true, he wrote a book that was basically him complaining about everyone else during LoTR. Read the reviews. Everyone says its Astin that comes across as the butthole, even in his own book. Dude must be insufferable.
I recall a short film he made while working on the Lord of the Rings included as a special feature, where in the making of, he seemed very full of himself. I watched it when I was like 10 and he gave me that impression…
Leo is a really good actor and gave tons of excellent performances
It just happens to be in ok films >Catch me if you can >Django >Inception
All movies with some great range from him and that you 100% buy the character

Django standing up in that scene was actually Jamie Foxx breaking character because he saw the glass stab his hand. But when Leo screamed at him to sit back down still in character he took the que.
In the famous swordsman scene in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Harrison Ford was originally meant to have a 3 minute long, choreographed fight with the swordsman.Unfortunately, Ford had the runs after a night of drinking prior to filming the scene. Drawing his pistol and shooting the swordsman was completely improvised!
That must've been awkward for the family considering the guy was american >we're so sorry to inform you that john had a fatal accident on set today whilst filming one of his scenes >please allow us to offer you these goats and a bushel of wheat in this trying hour
>OMG HE CUT HIMSELF THEN YELLED THEN EVERYONE SUCKED HIS FARTS ?? WOAHAOHOHOHOHOHH SO AMAZING
if these stupid frickers could just do my job and go to work everyday talking to normal people for just 1 week and not be way more miserable after, then I'd at least humor things like this
I know they couldn't though. I know for a fact they'd be begging for it to stop.
Yelling is easy
I was involved in the production of the film 'Point Break' In 1991. During the filming, Keanu Reeves (whose role involved playing rookie FBI agent 'Johnny Utah') was surfing with co-stars when a small child was dragged under the waves and began to struggle to stay above surface.
As his co-stars rushed to help, Reeves held out an arm in front of them, stopping them and was reported saying by Lori Petty (who played the character Tyler Endicott in the film) "The waves have claimed her, let her fight for her own life". The crew, dumbfounded, proceeded to watch her struggle until her body disappeared beneath the waves, lifeless.
We later spotted him outside the child's house, making drowning gestures and thanking the family for their child's sacrifice to the great ocean.
Why are actors like this? In almost every other job on the planet you'd stop working and take care of the injury. He's not negotiating a $100 million business deal he's playing pretend and yelling. Why didn't he just stop?
it improves the quality of his pretending. It's like where they don't tell actors certain things will happen during a scene so they get their raw reactions.
>Dicaprio then collapsed mid-scene, muttering requests for urgent medical attention. >the crew thought it was improvised and filmed a lifeless Dicaprio for 48 minutes. Help was sought once the second standing ovation had ended, Dicaprio still unresponsive on the floor.
Yeah everyone talks about this but not the brave colored woman who didn't break character even when leo smeared his blood all over her face. Now that is bravery.
but then they wouldn't be able to afford a hot meal
You have no idea what its like to be an actor.
I'll give them a hot carl instead
and then everybody clapped unironically
the name of that teacup? a young albert einstein

If I recall, he stepped on a piece of broken glass during the scene where he wades into the river, and was bleeding heavily.
sounds like made up bullshit

i really liked him in wolf of wall st too
I liked his cameo in What's Eating Gilbert Grape
On the one hand, I feel like he only ever plays himself in his movies. On the other, he's REALLY dedicated to playing himself.
Gangs of New York is a great film and DiCaprio doesn’t really play himself in that.
>Scorshitty's attempt at gloryfing violent criminals is actually good
they didn't say anything, they just listened
Django standing up in that scene was actually Jamie Foxx breaking character because he saw the glass stab his hand. But when Leo screamed at him to sit back down still in character he took the que.
okay now i have to see the scene
That's bullshit. He stands up before candy slams his hand down.
They gave him a standing ovation? I would've given him a tourniquet haha
Did you know?

few know that it wasnt acting, he actually shot him, they gave the mans family 4 goats and a bushel of wheat
That must've been awkward for the family considering the guy was american
>we're so sorry to inform you that john had a fatal accident on set today whilst filming one of his scenes
>please allow us to offer you these goats and a bushel of wheat in this trying hour
dork
In real life the character would leave the table instead of continuing his monologue.
I feel sorry for Leo. This must be why he has to drown his sorrows in endless 19-23 year old pussy. Many such cases!

Actors deal with a hundred more c**ts a day than you'll deal with in a week.

Nice. I always knew Keanu kept it real.
Wholesome
Cry me a river.

>Why didn't he just stop
Because he is le badass actor
it improves the quality of his pretending. It's like where they don't tell actors certain things will happen during a scene so they get their raw reactions.
what a loser you must be to not see the merit in keeping the performance going for the production and even letting it enhance the scene
He probably just didn't notice.
>Dicaprio then collapsed mid-scene, muttering requests for urgent medical attention.

Kino
>I'm le acting
Yeah everyone talks about this but not the brave colored woman who didn't break character even when leo smeared his blood all over her face. Now that is bravery.
I cut up myself every day at work i dont get a standing ovation whoop dee fricking doo
What do you do, chop veggies in a restaurant? Git gud homie.
>LOOK IM LE ACTING MAN I HAVE IT SO HARD
All of that pretending and playing make believe like my 10 year old son really is brutal manual labor.
