      This will sound like an absurd statement but it's true: Americans don't understand what acting is.https://twitter.com/mikeryan/status/1510993240178188291 …

      Also, I heard a story Jared Leto was slowing down shooting because every time he had to pee he would slowly limp to the bathroom as Michael Morbius and it took 45 minutes every time. Eventually a compromise was made with him being sped with a wheelchair. I asked if this was true pic.twitter.com/8IW3SCoU4t

      A lot of this stuff is blamed in method acting but I'm wondering if it's not also rooted in the legacy of Puritianism in America. Just a thought.https://twitter.com/mikeryan/status/1510993240178188291 …

          I think it makes sense because Daniel Day Lewis doesn't do this and he is a method actor

          I don't recall 'maintaining your character's hobbling gait at all times, even when approaching the restroom' being one of the core tenets of the Actor's Studio

          I would absolutely love it if someone approached Leto and asked him what Uta Hagen technique he found most useful while portraying the Joker

          Every time he did that someone should have dropped a dictionary on the floor to make a loud noise to get him out of character and stop being a jerk. If the guy can't turn it on and off... whew. Why would you put up with him?

          Don’t discount the fact that American actors learn to act in small cult-like for-profit LA workshops and, say, UK actors learn to act in drama schools and doing plays.

          Method absolutely DOES NOT require this kind of "commitment." It certainly would be a possibility, but Method doesn't require an actor to stay in character when the camera isn't rolling (or when the curtain is down).

          Robert Pattinson sounds off on Method acting: "I always say about people doing Method acting, you only ever see people doing Method when they’re playing an asshole. You never see someone just being lovely to everyone going, 'I’m really deep in character'" http://bit.ly/373Do9M

          I'm going to object strenuously to that first tweet. Jared Leto being bad at his job is not an indictment of American acting. The biggest proponent and pioneer of the preperatory process Leto uses is an Englishman.
