Heath ledger in the dark knight
Poor Tippi Hedren. She was also bit in the head by a lion and had an elephant's trunk fracture her ankle in Roar.
Maria Schneider. The last tango in Paris. She was basically raped while shooting.
Austin Butler in Elvis,
Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant,
Michael B. Jordan in Black Panther
and Bill Skarsdgard in It
I would add Heath Ledger. He was so into his role as the Joker in The Dark Night that his sleep was disturbed. He died of an overdose from the drugs he took trying to get to sleep.
Heath Ledger and Joaquín Phoenix came at the role from completely different angles and both men were superb. That said I was not prepared for how really good JP was at portraying the introverted and disturbed Arthur Fleck's decent into madness. JP portrayal was the more interesting of the two imho..
I’m surprised Michael Massee didn’t make the cut. He’s the actor who fired the shot that killed Brandon Lee on the set of The Crow in 1993. He took a year off, seriously considered quitting, never saw the movie, and still has nightmares about the incident to this day.
THAT I was curious about too. Michael Massee had serious repercussions of that horrific day.
My thought as well
Omg really didn't know that
Yup but Michael Massee died in 2016
@@Shovel_H So did Bob Hoskins, on 2014.
I knew Shelley Duvall was going to be #1 right from the start.
Poor woman, her life has become a disaster since then
That director should have been bitch slapped, tortured himself for days.
Me too
Also Jim Caviezel as Jesus in The Passion of the Christ. He was accidentally scourged and was even struck by lightning! It took him a while to get over that role.
I can never tell if Bob Hoskins was using both physical and method acting to take on the role of Detective Eddie Valiant. Great actor to the very end.
I love him as Smee!
I've seen "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and some of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"! I had no ideas these actors, including the others, were traumatized by their roles. It sucks! They deserve appreciation.
I always liked the cartoon grinch, over the movie
@@kathleenking47 I drew him when trying to make my own ugly sweater for a contest.
@@mojo3318 I love the basso profundo voice of the singer in cartoon as well
@@kathleenking47 Oh.
YOU NEED TO SEE WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT!!
I honestly don't blame Jim Carrey for being traumatized from his time on How The Grinch Stole Christmas set, I mean i sure as hell wouldn't want to spend several hours sitting stil while feeling like being buried alive underneath layers upon layers of makeup.
I only had to wear stage make up once to dance at the palladium and it was standard dance make up. It SUCKED. I could not imagine how that poor guy felt
And even with all that makeup Jim Carrey was able to deliver a wide variety of expressions. Mike Myers only had like two expressions with The Cat in the Hat.
I still can't believe the actress who played Cindy in the movie grew into the stunning lead singer of The Pretty Reckless
"Lairs of makeup" lol
Don't forget how it feels when you can't scratch yourself, or it gets too hot...
No Buddy Ebsen in the Wizard of Oz? He almost died because of the aluminum dust in the makeup used on the Tin Man.
I thought he was replaced by someone else.
I don't think he's eligible for the list as he didn't actually complete/end up portraying the tin man in the final film product
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 He was
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 Jack Haley.
I would add Mara Hoble (Christina in Mommy Dearest).
Maybe you could create a list for child actors that went through the same thing.
Peter from Hereditary never fails to traumatise me!
Listening to his wails is painful enough
One of the most psychological horror movies I've seen
I never saw Hereditary but I did see Alex Wolff in Old(a film that doesn’t look like it was exactly a psychological cakewalk either) and I heard his cries in that so I can imagine how haunting they must’ve sounded.
Heath Ledger was another example of an actor who was mentally and emotionally affected when taking on the Joker in 2008’s The Dark Knight. Tragic he died before the movie released.
Pretty sure this is a myth.
@@johnmillay6790 Actually no because he actually became sleep deprived because he couldn't shake the role off so he had to try to take his medication.
I’m surprised Heath Ledger isn’t on here. I know we didn’t get much time with him after The Dark Knight finished but the fact that his preparation for the role, his commitment throughout, and the subsequent SA that happened after and it leading to his death, would make me put him on this list.
Heath Ledger as the Joker is the best, deep, comprehensive and dark acting I ever seen. I can't think of anything better. Sometimes records are set that never, ever will be best. Examples are Joe DiMaggio's consecutive hitting streak, Wilt Chamberlain's 100 points in one basketball game...ect. This is the case with Ledger. Astonishing acting in that movie. Like he channeled the role in a way that can never be topped. I can watch that movie and never get tired. I read many times he locked himself in a hotel room for a month. Unbelievable. The Pianist was close. Till this day I watch that movie, I cry like a baby. That movie was one of the most believable acting I ever seen. Sometimes you watch a movie and you can tell they did this or that with one take. There are some things special effects can enhance and other times you can see right thru it.
except that he was the only one so far that the role has killed, which says alot for his acting ability, especially since his predecessor had warned him not to take the role lightly
i'm reluctant to heap too much praise on ledger's joker, partly because i prefer hamill's cartoonish upbeat joker and partly because ledger literally died as a result of how he fulfilled that role. no actor should feel like they have to put their health or life at risk to immortalize the role they're playing.
John Hurt in 'The Elephant Man' for two reasons: the physical and emotional demanding role and also the fact that nobody acknowledged him for the role because he was unrecognizable.
Hitchcock was an undeniable genius, but he wasn't above traumatising his actors for the sake of a good shot. They'd definitely be in need of a decent therapist.
Hitchcock was a sadist! He only sexually and mentally harassed his female stars!😒
The most traumatizing thing must have been being sexually harassed by a creepy old man
I see your comments everywhere lol
He ruined tippie hedron's career!
@@jewel65 Lol he made her career.
I remember Ted Levine saying that his role as Jame Gumb/The Buffalo Bill Killer in The Silence of the Lambs was difficult for him to do, particularly as he had to traumatize actress Brooke Smith. He described the role as leaving him feeling "icky". Maybe not as severe as some, but definitely a bit troublesome.
Oh yeah they did Shelley Duvall dirty
I’ve heard Ned Beatty was traumatized after his role in Deliverance.
I read that Bill Skarsgard had a VERY hard time with doing Pennywise-including having nightmares where the clown was chasing him. I’d imagine there have been a lot of actors traumatized by roles.
My sister talked about a new upcoming Joker movie with Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn and she has high hopes for her. I sure hope the Margot Robbie fans don't get mad and Gaga doesn't get traumatized playing Harley since she is pretty wicked for her character 😓
Plus considering the character was abused and had Stockholm Syndrome.
@@williamcrowe2576 Stockholm Syndromes?
@@abramsullivan7764 She can't live with him, and she can't live without him.
Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice which is extremely understandable.
According to one news source I read, Edward Norton was never the same after “American History X”.
Also: Jim Carrey ( Man on the Moon), Martin Sheen ( Apocalypse Now), Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson ( Batman Dark Knight and Batman), Meryl Streep ( Sophie's Choice), Jim Caviezel ( Passion of Christ), Cristian Bale ( The Maquinist and Exodus).
Haven’t watched yet but i’m fairly certain Martin Sheen is on here for Apocalypse Now. You can watch his breakdown in the doc Heart of Darkness.
I did not like the film version of Les Mis at all, but Anne totally deserved her Oscar.
Maria Schneider - Last Tango in Paris
I’m surprised Heath Ledger isn’t on here. His role as the Joker is the best I’ve ever seen because he took it very seriously and added some stuff that weren’t in the script but obviously it affected him mentally and unfortunately died.
Top Ten TV actors who were traumatized by their roles. I have heard that Sally Field was so emotionally drained after doing "Sybil" that she had to take a break. Her next role was in "Smokey and the Bandit".
For Bob Hoskins I thought you were gonna use the live action Mario movie for this list.
I feel bad for these poor people . 😢 They need hugs , and lots of therapy .
Fr :(
Agree.
That’s how great they were, to be traumatized by their roles.
Heather ledger literally isolated himself in a house alone for a month to get prepared for his role as joker. It lead to his untimely demise with the issue he had post making the movie
Sometimes artists tend to suffer for their art. But, dear God, these guys were put through the wringer.
I can’t believe you didn’t include the actress from the original Chainsaw massacre. She was affected by that role way more than any of these!
I like HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS. It has a beautiful set, but Jim couldn’t take in the beauty of it because he went through hell for the role. Poor guy!
As soon as I saw Bob Hoskins & Jessica Rabbit on the Thumbnail...This I gotta see. 👨🏿💻
Same 😂
Ditto LOL
Me too XD
Linda Blair was a little scarred early from making The Exorcist
She was more than scared. Her back got injured from them tossing her back and forth in the bed. It caused her chronic pain even years after.
The first time I saw Blair in movie make-up,
it scarred me crapless.
Bill Skarsgard got nightmares from playing Pennywise
Poor Shelley Duvall. There is "suffering for one's art" but that was suffering at a ridiculous level. The result was sublime however
The director should have been bitch slapped
Mark Hamill and his Joker role in *Batman Beyond: Return of the joker*
The inclusion of Jim Carrey is worthy, but should've been for his work on 'Man on the Moon'. Watching 'Andy and Me' gives an amazing insight into how deep Carrey went. He quite literally became Andy Kaufmann, to the extent that he, in his own words, "didn't know who he was" for quite some time after filming concluded.
In the movie “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” the guy that rapes and attacks Lisbeth (Rooney Mara) apparently locked himself in his hotel room for days and wouldn’t talk to anyone after having to do that scene. You never really think about how it effects the actors like we should!
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Some good actors act so well in the movies that they often get 'typecasted' to only play similar roles. :(
I didn't know Jim Carrey had a rough time making the Grinch. I hope he has a happy life and enjoys his family. He deserves it.
Me neither.
3:04 i feel ya, that part traumatized me two, and i saw the trailer only at the time
I would have given Noah Hathaway an honorable mention for Neverending Story for the times he got thrown off a horse and nearly get crushed and almost lost an eye when Gmork lunged at him
Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York (2002)
During filming, he stayed in character as Bill the Butcher so much that he got diagnosed with pneumonia but refused to take medication as the film was set in the 19th century, but he reluctantly took it anyway. And similarly to Austin Butler with his Elvis role, he also had his character's voice stuck in his vocal chords after the film was released.
in regards to Jim Carrey as the grinch, he was actually severely allergic to the yellow contacts and developed a serious eye infection, I believe I also read the whole make up process caused him to develop claustrophobia
Andy Griffith got himself into a deep psychological warp playing Lonesome Rhodes in A Face in the Crowd.
I can understand what Roger Rabbit did to Bob Hoskins, but filming Mario Bros made him stay perpetually drunk on set in order to get through it along with John Leguizamo and said it was the worst mistake of his career until the day we lost him. That isn't exactly... you know... healthy.
Not to make light of the situation, but was there a "one interpretation of a role" rule? Because Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker really scarred himself.
The importance of mental health care is forgotten in our society, something we should focus on. This was interesting to watch and learn about some of the actors' experiences. Makes me want to learn more
Heath Ledger deserves an extra prize tho
Ed Harris (The Abyss) should've been here. He was so mentally exhausted during filming that to this day he sees red every time someone mentions it.
I knew about Tippi Hedron in the Birds, but the rest were horrifyingly new to me.
great video
That's crazy that Bob Hoskins developed hallucinations
They didn't mention Maria Shneider for her role in Last Tongo in Paris.
Jack Nicholson handled it well... joker and the shining....
Look Stanley Kubrick was a crazy genius, but that doesn't excuse the psychological abuse he put her or Jack Nicholson through but shelley I think he had it much worse, during production she even lost her hair due to stress and Kubrick the class act that it was even behind the scenes he resorted to teasing to keep her in that state of anguish, behind the scenes there were times when shelley even refused to leave her dressing room oh talk to anyone on the team because Kubrick ordered them to support him in having the actors tense and stressed ! Jesus Christ! Resulted in an amazing movie, yes ¿but at what cost?
Christian Bale, The Machinist
Method acting is dangerous, because it causes many injuries and emotional distress for actors! Honestly Joaquin Phoenix shouldn’t even reprise his role in the sequel, it’s just not worth doing another Joker movie! Also Sissy Spacek in Carrie felt traumatized by Brian De Palma for doing scenes multiple times because of props malfunctioning and causing injuries on set!
4:08 Good for Quentin for giving Uma the video .... eventually. I am an actor / stunt performer. I also served 7 years in the military, 3 in the infantry, 4 in the Special Forces in direct action. It is the exact same in the Forces and industry. When the powers that be fork it up they will do everything under the sun to avoid responsibility, for the "greater good!". Problem is someone somewhere always knows the truth and eventually it comes out making them look worse.
I did not expect to see who framed roger rabbit on this list. But sometimes they had the voice actor of roger on set in costume for some scenes. I’ll be honest that movie is my favorite and also disturbed me as a child when I saw it. Saddest scene was the cartoon shoe dip bit. I’m so sorry that Bob suffered from that.
The death of Mick in Rocky 3 really affected Stallone
How about Vivien Leigh in "A Streetcar Named Desire"?
Do Top 10 Actors who were traumatized by TV roles
Gimme their salary, I'll tough it out 🤷
Haven’t started the video yet, but if Shelly Duvall filming The Shining isn’t number one I’m shunning Mojo Top 10
What about Martin Sheen who suffered a heart attack on Apocalypse Now
Sheen got drunk for real on his own scene because he was actually celebrating his real-life birthday,
bad idea.
It's so very very important that when anybody plays a role you have to separate yourself you have to let go of it after rehearsing.
That's why I don't shame or berate actors/actresses when they choose to drop out of a role, movie, or show.
At the end of the day their the ones that have to deal with the psychological ramifications and physical ramifications of it.
Its their bodies that their responsible for at the end of the roles.
I heard that during the filming of Silence of the Lambs. Jodie foster and Sir Anthony Hopkins actually started fearing each other.
Where’s heath ledger?????? 😮😮😮😮
If I had to play a crazy, homicidal clown, I’d probably be a little shaken up too
The entire cast of the theatrical version of "Cats."
Jim Carrey was traumatized making "The Grinch." Funny, I was traumatized watching it.
I wouldn’t be traumatised by working with real cartoon characters I’d much rather enjoy it, they’re tons more fun than boring humans.
Traumatized*
Um....OK then
@@Mxoon-oz8ps only Americans have the z
@@Mxoon-oz8ps I’m British
If I got to see Jessica Rabbit everyday I wouldn't be complaining
I'm surprised Tippi was traumatised with her Birds role instead of the role she and family played in the film Roar. A crazy movie if you haven't seen it.
I know Marilyn burns isn't well known outside of horror but what she went through making the original Texas chainsaw massacre deserved at least an honourable mention
Actually number 9 should be Bob Hoskins in 1993's Super Mario Bros.
It can't have been all that bad for Pheonix as he has reprised the role of Joker.
Rip Heath Ledger
I’m guessing last tango in Paris will be on the list
Marlon Brando and Bertulucci are two perverts.
It really should have been
I feel like one of the best performances I have ever seen was definitely this video here... As if him doing the behavior would benefit the rest of us. Yup, what can anyone truly do to avoid the chaos of it all.
Judging by the comments here, you're going to need a "10 more" on this one.
I would have thought that James Marsden would be here after Hop.
TOP 10 Harsh Moments By Movie Parents
Michelle Pfeiffer should have absolutely been on this list. White Oleander was so difficult for her that she actually quit acting and didn't come back until she was asked specifically back to Stardust years later.
The scene in Hereditary where the kid is required to slam his face into his desk, he hurt his knee and ankle?..huh? 😄
I don't know if Imelda Staunton was permanently scarred from playing Umbridge, but she sure was dealing with some level of trauma. The scene with the black quill made her physically sick
I don't think it would traumatize her. There are worse things in the franchise. She would be traumatized by the hatred she received for the role
Bill Skarsgard wasn't also the same after his pennywise performance in the movie IT and IT chapter two as he said he was haunted by nightmares pennywise which traumatized him for months
No actor who played the Joker has ever been okay after.
I've yet to hear anything bad about the actor on the TV show Gotham. His Jerome/Jeremiah character was supposed to be a Joker origin story.
@@fromthehaven94He’s doing some voice work in star wars games.
@@Dragoness-si2xr I've seen those ads.
@@fromthehaven94 I’ve got one of the games
What happened?
The Joker was a fun character in the 1960s, now they're getting into real psychology to make him too realistically sick for the actors themselves to handle.
When you watch the Jim Carrey version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas for the first time, the smile towards the beginning looks like CGI. It's actually Jim Carrey's face doing that. They don't call him the rubber-faced man for nothing.
This character and part isn't from a movie but from a show but Mandy Patinkin was regretful and haunted (and disgusted) with and after his roll as Jason Gideon on the 1st 2 seasons of Criminal Minds....so I've heard and read.
You are missing Brad Davis from the Midnight Express.
Matt Dillon from The House that Jack Built should be here
I read that Bjork had a hard time making the film Dancer In The Dark
A lot of audience members had a hard time with the shaky cam - coming out of the film mid-showing with motion sickness.
Jeff Daniels turbo lax scene
