2) Daniel Day-Lewis in My Left Foot
Daniel Day-Lewis's transformation into Christy Brown, a cerebral palsy patient, in My Left Foot is legendary. To fully immerse himself, Day-Lewis spent the entire shoot confined to a wheelchair, refusing to break character even off-camera. Crew members had to feed him and assist with personal needs since he only used his left foot for anything. This single-minded dedication led to a cracked rib from reclining in the chair for weeks. For this performance alone, Lewis took home an Academy Award and further consolidated his status as one of Hollywood's most dedicated method actors.
