Method Actors Are Known For Their Eccentric Ways
Method actors are well - get it on for doing oddball thing in the name of acting excellence . Sometimes their behaviors can be amusing , as when Peter Weller forced everyone onRoboCopto direct him as " Murphy " or " Robo . " Sometimes the Method - inclined can get creepy , however , as when Jared Leto fix to play the Joker by sending his co - stars a idle pig and a live rat . Then there are showcase like Jim Carrey onMan in the Moon , where " go Method " just seems like an excuse to be a giant jerk .
Margot Robbie says she keep the betrayer sent to her by Jared Leto .
Kidman ’s cognitive process is her operation , and it seems she has to really entrust a music director before she will risk break away character by checking the playback . music director indeed are smart to respect Kidman ’s approach , given all the acclaimed execution she ’s racked up over her vocation , admit her late inBabygirl . Luhrmanngets a pass due to their human relationship , but the residual of the meter , Kidman seems content to let the great unwashed think she ’s sick , as long as she keeps her head in the correct space , and is able-bodied to deliver another acclaimed performance .
