Johnny Depp portrayed the role of Raoul Duke in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. This role was based on the life of Hunter S. Thompson. To prepare for the role, Depp lived with Thompson for months. He copied his mannerisms and even shared his wardrobe. He not only shaved his head to match his physical appearance to the character, but also adopted his twitchy movements and speech.
