In the 2006 comedy hit Tropic Thunder, Robert Downey Jr. took method acting to a whole new level while portraying the character Kirk Lazarus. Known for his dedication to staying in character, Downey Jr. went as far as peeing in character, much to the surprise of his co-star Danny McBride.
During an interview with GQ, McBride shared a humorous anecdote about overhearing Downey Jr. in character while he was using the bathroom on set. The actor's commitment to his role as Lazarus, an Australian method actor who undergoes a controversial pigmentation alteration to portray a Black character, was evident even in mundane moments.
