Daniel Day-Lewis - My Left Foot

During the filming of "My Left Foot" (1989), Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis remained in character throughout the production. He stayed in a wheelchair for the duration, requiring the film crew to lift him over obstacles and even feed him. Additionally, to prepare for "The Age of Innocence" (1993), he wore 1870s-period aristocratic clothing around New York City for two months, including a top hat, cane, and cape in cold weather.
