Tom Hiddleston sat in on an autopsy

Tom Hiddleston is known for many pretty memorable roles in his whole tenure. He was a voice-over artist for an animated movie called The Pirate Fairy as well. But above all, the way he prepared for physiologist Robert Laing in High-Rise is quite shocking. Hiddleston met a forensic pathologist and sat in on an autopsy. He saw his body cut and open. He could not bear the smell, and he vomited. This is something weird which he did. It is also trying rubbish things just to get into the character. But it is also something which brings the artist closer to the spectators.

Ben Foster took performance-enhancing drugs

Three words perfectly define the lifestyle of Lance Armstrong; championships, cancer, and cheating. Leading man Ben Foster tried to recreate Armstrong's victory and betrayal. He wanted to make full justice to the role that he compelled himself to take the toughest decision of his life. As a result, he discouraged other actors from following in his tire tracks. This act was completely similar to Armstrong's act.

He hid such thing from his cast and crew before and during filming. Foster pretended that he was pretending to take them as in Armstrong simply pretended not to take drugs. This is what he did to bring out the real character.
