These days, it’s pretty normal to find out that an actor has spent months in the gym with a personal trainer, getting super buff for a role. But what about all of the other, far weirder, way less useful special skills that some actors have had to pick up over the years? While they might not be as handy as learning the piano or how to throw a punch, these actors have devoted a ton of time to learn how to do all kinds of strange things in order to get into a character. Like Jennifer Lawrence, who not only learned how to shoot a bow and arrow to play Katniss in The Hunger Games, but also was taught how to skin a squirrel in Winter’s Bone! Dave Franco learned how to throw playing cards so fast that he could cut fruit -and Mark Ruffalo’s face!- with them. Joseph Gordon Levitt learned how to walk on a tightrope, Robert Downy Jr was taught how to play the violin left handed, and Daniel Day Lewis learned to track and hunt his own breakfast, lunch, and dinner during The Last of The Mohicans! That’s not even close to all of them, either! There was Mickey Rourke, who learned how to be a professional wrestler, Margot Robbie who trained in gymnastics and learned how to hold her breath for five minutes, Tom Cruise who became a helicopter pilot, and so many more! Check out the video to find out all of the craziest skills that actors have had to learn for the movies.

Natalie Portman learned ballerina dance in the movie Black Swan. And, Keanu Reeves's Gun shooting and reloading can't be over looked too.
Amazing how actors goes to learn a awesome skill for a movie role and beyond too.
Cool to mention what Rooney Mara underwent to play Lisbeth Salander for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but not mention what Noomi Rapace had to do to prepare herself for the exact same role (only years earlier). Rather amiss, ScreenRant🤔!!!
Ok cool that the game of thrones ppl made the list, but they arent the only ones who learned a fictional language for a movie. Avatar saw several castmates learn the full navi language, and Milla Jovovich learned one for 5th element, tho we barely get to hear it,.
Linda Hamilton transformation for the Terminator movies was amazing. She trained with a Israeli special forces soldier to transform to lean, crazy Sarah Conners for T2
And the screen-grab for the video is JLaw with the bow string anchored on the OPPOSITE side of her nose--one of the stupidest places to anchor a highly taught string that you're going to let go of. Perhaps that promo shot was taken before she started to learn the skill.
That still is actually from Mockingjay Part 2 when Katniss is firing the last shot of the war. Probably a bad take that managed to make its way in.
I have one GREAT one that wasn’t on the list! For “Bill & Ted 3: Face the Music”, Keanu Reeves ACTUALLY learned how to play the Theremin for the musical number at the beginning of the movie! That’s a TON of work for the couple of seconds that made it into the final cut! (But I’m sure there are hours of him playing it in the cutting room floor! LOL)
I love screen rant.
I just love pitch meetings!
I hate em sometimes but then they come through clutch with a pitch meeting
Dominic cooper actually became a priest for his Jesse custer role in AMCs preacher and it shows in the final product
I wonder how often they forget their skills from lack of use.
14:30 what a *fakeout* !
I thought he learned to build his own super armor!!
When the apocalypse comes...
*Actors will survive us all* .. probably by hunting fans down...
(And pretty people will rule earth)
Viggo Mortensen had to go through vigorous soccer (futbol) and medical training to learn how to break his toes while kicking a helmet in Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers. I'm surprised that didn't make this list.
Brent Spiner learned to dance for that one scene in TNG. He did all but one really hard thing (Gates said it was hard and she choreographed it!) which he kept saying he was doing wrong. To not embarrass Gates, he used a body double for one small part but all the rest was him. He learned to do a lot of random things as Data
"She learned to hold her breath for 5 minutes". Yea, that never happened though.
I do mounted archery and went to Hungary for a few weeks for training there. I briefly met actor Alexander Deyarmond from Last Kingdom because he was there for training as well. We were both learning from Lajos Kassai who invented modern horse archery. I’m also very curious who made the bows for Game of Thrones since the assorted European bowyers that I’ve met weren’t the ones who made them
I don't know about the bows, but all of the swords and axes were made by their in-house prop master according to one of the documentaries. I assume the same applies to the bows but I don't know that for sure.
This just goes to show that if you really want to do something and dedicate time, effort, and money, then you can do it.
I used to get so annoyed with my ex when he said actors have "easy" jobs. They have to learn new skills, memorize whole scripts, and stay on set for hours and hours, not just anyone can be an actor.
8:13 I got Dennis Quade’s autograph!
It's Lisbeth SALANDER not 'Sander' lol
Okay now this is very wierd lol😂😂😂
I learned how to drink beer ... in my teens; expert at it now! ;0)
Dude. u keep getting movie titles wrong. Are you like afraid if u say them right youll get a copyright ban?
Its "Now You See Me" not Now you can see me
Its "Winters Bone" not Winter Bones
Why do people always get bows wrong...the arriw goes on the INSIDE not the outside.
Thank you
Awesome video 👌
Donnie Yen spent nine months learning Wing Chun, the martial art for the Ip Man series. They're not Hollywood movies, but I still thought I would mention it.
I am not the first,
Obviously not the last
But I am too fast
In the words of Nelson "HAha!!!" To all of the "poo pooers" for Gambits' throwing cards isn't cool!!! 😉😋😆
Emilia Clarke literally said on an interview that she never learned dothraki or Valerian, she just repeated the lines given to her
I practiced to watch movies. Like a pro.
How about actors who had their teeth altered or removed for parts
And it isn't easy or gratifying to teach actors certain skills. I had to train several actors for roles in several military movies. One actor had a propensity to run his mouth while I was trying to teach him. Another actor shortened a cadence I taught him. And the third, he didn't really get it and looked just as bad on screen as he did in training. The studio should have cast someone else.
What about Russell Crowe in Master and Commander?
Wow some fantastic experience gained...
I dont like Harley Quinn that much but I give alot of credit to Margot Robbie for her performance
Margot is an incredible actress. She does go to great lengths for the roles she plays
The girl with the dragon is so badass ,I'd love to get a piercing for a movie lmao and learn how to drive a motorcycle
I love Winter Bones
For some reason I believe that the narrator is Canadian 🇨🇦
Nice
TOM CRUISE = LEGEND
H quinn and beloved huh made me laugh
Wakandah foevah

Do you mean that actors who played Batman and Superman they learned how to fly with their fabric wings?
And do you mean that actor who played Spiderman learn how to jump and stick to skyscrapers?
And do you mean the actor who played Nutty Professor the big fart scene, he learning how to fart?
Sorry im late, I was fixing my tooth
Are you okay?
Are you okay
I am a kid and can cut two balloons together with a playing card, it's not as hard as you would think.
Reasons why you don't listen to actors and actresses on political s***; this video here.
how do u play the violin if not left handed? 14:42
Billy Bob Thornton fiddled in the Alamo
There is nothing weird about archery or martial arts.. Like seriously screen rant
Jennifer Lawrence is a terrible archer. If that were a real bow she'd have had massive bruises on her forearm. She's holding the bow wrong.
Seriously
As an actor, I've learned sword-fighting, staged combat, fight choreography and tap dancing.
