10 films in which actors had to do terrible things (11 photos)

24 November 2023

Every person has something that they absolutely hate. It could be some kind of action, phobia, food, whatever. The actors in this post had to do what is their worst nightmare. But they pulled themselves together, and the result was iconic scenes. Take a look!





1. "The Wolf of Wall Street"



In The Wolf of Wall Street, Leonardo DiCaprio was forced to eat his “last piece of sushi” while talking to Jonah Hills, and he hates sushi. This scene was repeated ten times to get it perfect.

2. "Kill Bill"



Uma Thurman suffers from claustrophobia. In Kill Bill, she had to endure a terrible nightmare when she was placed in a box. And therefore her screams, when clods of earth hit the lid, were completely real.

3. "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"



“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” actress Rooney Mara has never had a piercing in her life, but for the film she had to do it several times: eyebrows, lips, ears and even a nipple. The actress took a long time to come to her senses after filming.

4. "Shine"



Director Stanley Kubrick intentionally made Shelley Duvall nervous during the filming of The Shining so that we could experience the horror firsthand. At the end of filming, the actress's hair began to fall out from nerves, and she gave one strand to Kubrick.

5. "The Hobbit, an Unexpected Journey"



Adam Brown, who plays Ori in The Hobbit, is afraid of fish. When the hobbits had to hide in barrels of fish, Brown had to endure real horror.

6. "Game of Thrones"



Kit Harington felt claustrophobic in a battle scene in Game of Thrones when he was overtaken, grabbed and strangled by a mob of warriors. He even had to invite a psychologist.

7. "Birds"



Actress Tippi Hedren suffered from a phobia of birds, and during the filming of Hitchcock's The Birds, she worked with mechanical birds. But the scene in the attic was different. The whole group deceived the actress, and right before the stage she found out that the birds would be real. After filming, she had to recover for a whole week.

8. "Spider-Man"



Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man hated the scene in which he kissed Kirsten Dunst. He was hanging upside down, water was dripping into his nose, and the actress was pulling down her mask as she kissed him, and he was literally suffocating.

9. "Matilda"



In the movie Matilda, there is a scene in which Jim Carz is forced to eat an entire chocolate cake in front of the entire school. The actor hated chocolate cake and had to spit pieces into a bucket under the table. But this didn’t help much, and after filming the actor felt very bad.

10. "Survivor"



In The Revenant, Leonardo DiCaprio had to eat bison liver, even though he is a vegetarian. The director even had to get permission from the actor's lawyers and agents.
