Actors who faced superhuman conditions while filming

We might think that the world of cinema offers no danger. But not quite. Sometimes actors even imagine what awaits them on the film set. And that’s where all the willpower comes into play.

At the awesome.club We’ve collected the most interesting stories about the serious tests the actors had to face before and during filming so that you too can appreciate the courage and willpower of Hollywood celebrities.

Frankly, this role took Leo out of his comfort zone. During filming, the actor lost a lot of weight, grew a beard and experienced all the elements of nature. It does not stop there. In order to play this incredible scene, DiCaprio had to ditch his vegetarian diet and eat the liver of a bison – or bison. But it was worth it! After all, what wouldn’t he do for his first Oscar?

Sylvester Stallone, when accepting the role, did not even imagine that he would have to do the risky scenes himself. If he had known ahead of time that he would have to climb, he would surely have refused. Fate, that is, the best, challenged the fearless Rambo, and he accepted. As a result, a wonderful film came out. That’s how it’s done!

The actor is very afraid of snakes. When filming began, it was a huge nightmare for him to know that the animals would be real, and not created with special effects. Well, Matt did his task very well, because he overcame his fear.

We don’t know why, but Tobey agreed to play a character who does nothing but jump between skyscrapers, being afraid of heights… and the director had to work hard to make Maguire look amazing in the scenes. Well, the fact is, he did.

Although Natalie was a ballet dancer until she was 13, this role was very difficult for her. A lot of stress, diet (the actress lost a lot of weight), exhausting exercises… The result was a great film, but the price of that success took the protagonist almost to the limit. Fortunately, everything ended well, and Portman was able to recover.

Between the filming of the film about Thor and the film “In the heart of the sea”, the actor had to work out his muscles a lot (for the role of Thor), and then immediately lose weight drastically (for the role of Owen Chase).

First, he ate a lot and engaged in strength training, and then dieting and cardiovascular training became the mainstay for the actor. He played both roles very well, but at what cost! Cris later said it was about that bad experience. We understand perfectly!

An interesting coincidence: Rupert, like Ron, hates and fears spiders, and he didn’t even have to act in the scenes where spiders appear (and sure enough, lots of them). So the actor played his role very well, but he did not overcome his fear. Unfortunately.

Nicole Kidman looks incredibly fragile and kind. And when you see it, it doesn’t just look like it, it is. If not, how does one explain the fact that during the filming of the musical, she fractured a rib when she fell while dancing with Ewan McGregor, and later, fractured another one while tying her corset? And that’s not counting the injury to his knee caused by the fall caused by heels, too high. Thankfully, the injuries healed and the movie turned out amazing. Nicole’s courage is enviable.

An unexpected yet predictable trauma. Charlize’s character had to scream really hard, for a long time, in different scenes. This led to the actress being hospitalized due to torn abdominal muscles. Afterwards, she even made jokes about it.

The filming of the seventh season was done in Iceland, in very unpleasant weather conditions. 25ºC below zero, gusts of wind that made it impossible to speak, and the actors had to endure all of this, even without wearing balaclavas. They also had to rely on natural lighting, which only lasted 5 to 6 hours. During this period, it was necessary to shoot as many scenes as possible. In the end, the actors showed that in addition to being good artists, they are resistant to the bitter cold.

A funny incident occurred with Anna Kendrick on the set of this romantic comedy. When filming a scene where the main characters drink, someone made a mistake and served them a high-alcohol beer instead of non-alcoholic beer. According to the actress, she did not immediately realize what had happened. And now the audience has a wonderful pastime. Guess where Anna acted sober, and where she didn’t.
