Did you pull out your teeth without anesthesia? This Hollywood actress did it for a role!

Some actors sometimes go too far to fully immerse themselves in the role. And then there are those who are really extreme. American Nicolas Cage, who celebrates his 60th birthday today and can currently be seen in theaters in Dream Screenplay, was one such rare specimen of Alan Parker’s The Bird, which was released in theaters in 1985.

Nicolas Cage, who will probably never be seen on film again, built a reputation as a solid actor on the set of Bird. To play the character of Al Columbato, a disfigured Vietnam War veteran returning from the conflict, the American, a follower of the actor’s studio, spent five weeks with his face covered in bandages … not even allowed to sleep. !

“People’s reaction in the street was brutal”– said Cage In an interview with the Telegraph newspaper. “The adults were laughing, the kids were looking at me. And when I took those bandages off, the skin on my face was completely infected with untreated acne and ingrown hairs.”

But that’s not all! For the same role in Birdie, Nicolas Cage, trying to show pain and sympathy for his character, did something incredible. The actor literally had two teeth removed… without anesthesia!
