Method- Actors require a much-respected practice that has the ability to create naturalistic, award- winning acting performances.

It is like they have literally gotten inside the skins of the character! Yes, and these celebs require a grand salute for their impeccable performance.
“Acting is what comes from the heart and therefore every actor has his or her unique way through which they prepare themselves for the character they are committed to play. This technique involves completely identifying with the character physically and emotionally.” – Filmy Keeda.
Scroll through to see some of the greatest actors who took method acting too far, that made you **applaud**
1.Heath Ledger
We all know him! He has played the role of Joker in the Dark Knight that was remarkable! I actually was amazed and thrilled by his acting skills for that specific role played by him. His preparations for this role were weird as he locked himself in a room, write strange things in his diary, take prescribed drugs and sleep just for 2 hours in the night! Crazy right?! He completely portrayed himself as the schizophrenic, apathetic joker.
2.Christain Bale
Have you guys seen the movie Machinist? Well, those who have, know what an amazing role Christain played. For this film and role, he lost 60 pounds and Christain was unrecognizable after he followed a very strange schedule that was tormenting. He played the role of an Insomniac who slowly went insane.
3.Natalie Portman
Black Swan was one of the most amazing in-depth films that I have ever seen. She actually lost 20 pounds to play her part in performing the ballerina. Portman also spent a year attending ballet program and she also performed some of the ballet dances on her own that made the final cut of the film!
4.Adrien Brody
Have you seen The Pianist?! Who offers away every one of their fortunes, begins living like a beggar, prevents eating and separates from family and companions to get into the skin of a character? Adrien Brody’s execution as a Holocaust survivor couldn’t have been any better. Yes, its true, this actor has done it all to get the feel of the character!
5.Shia Lebouf
We all know the famous Transformers actor, who is also known for his method-acting. With his performances in Disturbia, Nymphomaniac and charlie countrymen, no one can beat him! In the movie Nymphomaniac he was actually going to proceed with sex with Mia Goth to bring sense of realism.
