Whether a role brought on a lot of stress due to the pressure, or an actor chose to go method for a very intense role - some jobs really threw these performers for a loop. Tom Holland has been cracking under the pressure of playing Spider-Man so badly that he’s struggling with sleep paralysis. Lady Gaga fell deep into a hole of living life as Patrizia Reggiani for a full year and a half - and using her personal trauma to inform her performance, leaving her in a dark place. Jared Leto, Joaquin Phoenix, and Michael B. Jordan all struggled with mental health issues after playing intense roles and struggled to let go of the darkness of their characters. Penn Badgley might be charming, but playing Joe wasn’t just rough for his on-screen lovers - the actor has been deeply disturbed portraying the role! Robert Pattinson practiced living in isolation and going as mad as his character in The Lighthouse - getting to the point that he was constantly sick and/or drunk on set! Margot Robbie may have dealt with Jared Leto’s strange behavior during Suicide Squad, but it was nothing compared to playing Tonya Harding. The actress found the line between her and Tonya’s lives blurring! Kit Harrington may have met the love of his life on Game of Thrones - but after the series, the actor found himself needing a wellness retreat. Both Anne Hathaway and Natalie Portman lost weight for roles and Meryl Streep fell into a deep depression after one of her most regarded roles. They endured some trying feats, but all these actors wound up giving stellar performances.
