10 Insane Ways Actors Prepared For Famous Movie Scenes

2. Nicolas Cage Had Hot Yoghurt Poured Over His Toes For A Sex Scene - Vampire's Kiss

Vampire's Kiss features one of Nicolas Cage's most unhinged performances to date, and that's really saying something. Cage plays an a**hole literary agent who ends up taking a beautiful woman (Jennifer Beals) home, only to learn mid-coitus that she's actually a seductive vampiress.

According to the film's casting director Marcia Shulman, however, In order to fire himself up for the brief sex scene, Cage requested that hot yoghurt be poured over his toes. The crew duly complied, and Shulman added, "If you look at the shot, you don’t see his feet."

Sex scenes naturally aren't relished by most actors, and so you have to wonder whether or not the introduction of hot dessert to the bedroom either broke the tension or just made things even more awkward.

It's very on-brand for Nicolas Cage, regardless.
