10 More Actors Who Took Method Acting Way Too Far

Robert Pattinson has admitted that method acting pushed him over the edge while portraying his character in Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse.

The Batman star has said that every time he shot a scene where his character was drunk, he too was "basically unconscious the whole time."

The actor also revealed that he ate mud in order to get himself into character:

“Because you’re playing a mad person, it means you can sort of be mad the whole time. Well, not the whole time, but for like an hour before the scene. You can literally just be sitting on the floor growling and licking up puddles of mud."

Pattinson would also spend time spinning around in circles before takes, to make himself off-balance. He also placed rocks in his shoes to get into the right mentality.

"It was crazy. I spent so much time making myself throw up. Pissing my pants. It’s the most revolting thing. I don’t know, maybe it’s really annoying," he said.

Sounds like it might've been annoying for the other people on set, Robert.
