Leonardo Decaprio Movie ‘The Reverant:’ Actor Describes Role As A 'Life-Changer' After Graphic Shooting Of A 'Bear Attack,' Sleeping In Animal Carcasses And Eating Bison Liver

Leonardo Decaprio movie 'The Reverant' has been termed as the life-changer by the actor in an interview. The interview also highlighted some of the brutal conditions Leonardo worked under and endured while filming including living in an animal caracass. Leonardo is known to be fully committed to every role being played by him.

DiCaprio plays a 19th-century frontiersman who, after suffering a violent bear attack, embarks on a journey through freezing wilderness to exact revenge on the trapper who abandoned him for dead, played by Tom Hardy. The actor also said that he could name 30 or 40 sequences that were some of the most difficult things that he ever had to do. Some of the sequences included going in and out of frozen rivers, sleeping in animal carcasses, eating on the sets whatever was available enduring freezing cold and possible hypothermia constantly, said Yahoo! Movies.

The 41-year old also stated that he certainly did not eat raw bison liver on a regular basis. When audience will see the movie, they will see his reaction to it because Alejandro kept it in stating it was an instinctive reaction, revealed Vanity Fair. He also discussed filming the graphic bear-attack scene, which involved cables and precise choreography and he certainly did not regret his decision to take on the project.

So far the Titanic actor has been nominated for the Oscars four times but is yet to win one. Leonardo Decaprio Movie 'The Reverant' looks like a promising story and may change the actor's luck soon as the academy has been known to acknowledge grueling roles, often those that demand physical transformation and hardship. According to early awards-season forecasts, DiCaprio could be up against actors like Michael Caine (Youth), Matt Damon (The Martian), Will Smith (Concussion), Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl), Johnny Depp (Black Mass), and Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs) for the best-actor Oscar, said Inquisitr.
