There will be Blood(2007)
Daniel Day Lewis is one of the greatest actors in the world. This English
actor is said to be too selective about his roles, he spends the entire time
for that role going to any extents to remain in his character. He would
stay in character during the entire filming period. While shooting for
‘Lincoln’ he changed his body structure to a thin, lean, bowed and tilting.
He asked his crew to call him Mr. President, he used the language of that
period while texting. He has done the same for his character Honest Abe.
He would sign off on text messages with just an ‘A’.
