Daniel Day-Lewis is infamous for his extreme method of acting, which also pans out in contract clauses. He typically demands that he live in the same condition as his character, which can result in some pretty amazing clauses. For example, while shooting for There Will Be Blood, he insisted that his character's oil rig camp be built according to the era. Most of his contracts guarantee him only shooting for one film to become deeply ingrained with the role, and he requires the whole crew to keep silent during the shooting as well.
