" You would assume actors live comfortably\u00A0on set. Yes, work is work, but it&amp;#039;s\u00A0work where\u00A0physical and mental fortitude is masked by movie magic. But if you&amp;#039;re Leonardo DiCaprio, you\u00A0work. You research characters. You live like they would. You don&amp;#039;t act, you become.\u00A0For his upcoming movie, The Revenant, the work involved what could only be labeled as\u00A0&amp;quot;crazy shit.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I can name 30 or 40 sequences that were some of the most difficult things I&amp;#039;ve ever had to do,&amp;quot; DiCaprio told Yahoo! Movies. &amp;quot;Whether it&amp;#039;s going in and out of frozen rivers, or sleeping in animal carcasses, or what I ate on set. [I was] enduring freezing cold and possible hypothermia constantly.&amp;quot; You pretty much get the sense that this was an intense movie to film just from the trailer: A\u00A0bearded and filthy DiCaprio, dressed in furs, fights a bear before being\u00A0buried alive. He survives it all\u00A0then treks\u00A0through a\u00A0frozen wilderness. &amp;quot;I certainly don&amp;#039;t eat raw bison liver on a regular basis,&amp;quot; DiCaprio says, which is a surprise to us. &amp;quot;When you see the movie, you&amp;#039;ll see my reaction to it, because Alejandro kept it in. It says it all. It was an instinctive reaction.&amp;quot; It sounds really intense, and according to DiCaprio, the whole nearly dying thing was totally worth it. As he tells Yahoo! Movies: The truth is that I knew what I was getting into. This was a film that had been floating around for quite some time, but nobody was crazy enough to really take this on, simply because of the logistics of where we needed to shoot and the amount of work and rehearsal that would have to be done to achieve [director Alejandro Gonz\u00E1lez I\u00F1\u00E1rritu] and [cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki] vision. They&amp;#039;re very specific about their shots and what they want to achieve, and that \u2014 compounded with the fact that we were in an all-natural environment, succumbing to whatever nature gave us \u2014 was something that became more of a profoundly intense chapter of our lives than we ever thought it was going to be. Anyway, here&amp;#039;s how we picture the &amp;quot;sleeping inside an animal carcass&amp;quot; scene:        "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
