Whether Christian Bale gains (and then drastically loses) weight, or Jared Leto gets carried away by his method of portraying the Joker, some actors really go the extra mile to transform into their characters.
And if you’re Shia LaBeouf, that includes getting a massive chest tattoo.
Speaking to / Film, Suicide Squad director David Ayer recently spoke about the lengths LaBeouf shot for his new movie The Tax Collector.
“He is one of the best actors I have ever worked with, and he is the most committed to body and soul,” Ayer said.
“They pulled a tooth out of Fury, and then Tax Collector, he had his entire chest tattooed. So he got everything in and I have never met anyone who has gotten engaged.”
In the new movie, LaBeouf plays Creeper, a “tax collector” for a crime lord known as the Wizard. The actor now has the word ‘Creeper’ permanently inked across his abdomen, with the rest of the design taking up his entire chest.
As Yesterday mentioned, LaBeouf had one of his teeth pulled out for the Brad Pitt Fury movie. She also cut her face and kept reopening the wound because she didn’t think the makeup was realistic enough.
Co-star Logan Lerman told British GQ: “We were wearing makeup and they were cutting Shia and I said, ‘Yes, yes, it looks good.'” And Shia said, ‘No, it doesn’t seem real.’
“Then he goes out into the hall and says, ‘Hey man, do you want to see something fun? Look at this …’ and he pulls out a knife and cuts his face. And throughout the movie he kept opening these cuts on his face. That’s all. real “.
On LaBeouf who had a tooth extracted, Lerman added: “I mean, he didn’t do it himself, he went to a dentist and asked them to have his tooth removed, but yes, what a strange request.”
