10 Ridiculous Ways Actors Got Into Character For Oscar Nominated Roles

5. Leonardo DiCaprio Ate Raw Bison Liver (Despite Being A Vegetarian) - The Revenant

Leonardo DiCaprio looks set to finally win that ever elusive Oscar thanks to his recent performance in gruelling survival thriller The Revenant. All he had to do was grow a massive beard, unleash an incalculable amount of grunts and mumbles, and spend months out in the freezing cold battling the elements. Hey, who said being an actor was easy? Oh, and Leo also had to eat raw bison liver to make his dramatic turn as wronged frontier man Hugh Glass all the more harrowing. "So what?" you might say if you're something close to a badass. "What's so hard about eating raw bison liver?" Well, Leo happens to be a vegetarian, so this can't have been an easy thing to do. Still, if there's anyone willing to go to ridiculous lengths if it means nabbing an Oscar, it's this guy. Except for being raped by a bear. DiCaprio draws the line at that, apparently.
