Daniel Day-Lewis embodied Hawkeye from The Last of the Mohicans and for his role, he was said to live out his character for months in the wilderness, learning survival skills such as skinning animals, building shelters, and firing muskets. He could often be seen on set carrying a loaded rifle, insisting it kept him in character. Day-Lewis would only accept food if it were hunted or prepared by himself, as he completely connected with 18th-century frontier life.
