10 Most Insane Demands That Famous Actors Made For Movies

3. Marlon Brando Demands His Character Wears An Ice Bucket As A Hat And Has His Own Personal Dwarf - The Island Of Doctor Moreau

In the last years of his life, Marlon Brando presumably decided to leave all sense of rationale and dignity at the door, and opted to head into work with all the logic of a toddler. That's to say, when he arrived on set to play the eponymous character in an adaptation of The Island of Doctor Moreau, Brando picked up an ice bucket and wore it on his head. "Okay, Marlon, take it off now," we imagine some production assistant nervously laughing. But Brando refused. Watch the movie now, and you'll see that Brando can be glimpsed wearing this ice bucket on his head for a large portion of the flick.

Why didn't they take it off of him, you're wondering? They literally couldn't - and to be totally fair, would you want to be tasked with retrieving an ice bucket from the skull of an doolally, Minotaur-sized Marlon Brando? If that doesn't sound crazy enough, Brando later demanded that a dwarf he'd made friends with during the filming process was incorporated into his every scene, and refused to act until his request was granted. So it was.
