Even though he’s now officially retired, anyone in Hollywood would call Daniel Day-Lewis the ultimate method actor. He is known for staying in character 24/7 while filming. During My Left Foot, the crew would have to feed him by hand, or he wouldn’t eat, just like his character.

He won an Oscar for Best Actor for his performance, proving that it was all well worth it. After playing a spooky character for years, the actor coming took a completely different role — both he and his character ended up in rehab.
