    In the 1990 Tim Burton film Edward Scissorhands, Johnny Depp played a shy not-quite-human with a penchant for topiaries and tight-fitting leather clothes. The latter proved too much for Depp during one scene, however.

    According to co-star Diane Wiest, "One night [Johnny] had to do a running sequence, running away from the house, I think at Christmas. And he passed out. He fell down and we thought, 'well is he acting? What's he doing?' and he'd passed out. Never complained, but he'd passed out from the heat of the suit. It was really remarkable, but somehow very revealing about him and that quality comes through his acting."

    Clearly Mr. Depp is more than willing to suffer for his art.

    A household name in Mexico, actor Kuno Becker had an unfortunate accident due to the negligence of the makeup team while shooting a movie in April 2016. During filming, water was thrown at him and another actor, causing his makeup to run into his eyes and impair his vision by 85 percent.

    Apparently, the makeup contained harsh chemicals which nearly blinded him. On social media, he told his fans the accident was due to the makeup department failing to know what was in the products they used.

    Funnyman Jim Carrey has said that the special contact lenses he had to wear on the set of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas made him feel like he had knives in his eyes. The costume itself was so vastly uncomfortable and made Carrey feel so claustrophobic that a Navy SEAL had to coach him through dealing with the panic attacks wearing it gave him. 

  • Buddy Ebsen on Random Actors Whose Costumes And Makeup Nearly Killed Them On Set

    The 1939 film The Wizard of Oz is famous for the deadly problems it caused the cast and crew. Actor Buddy Ebsen, who originally played the Tin Man before being replaced by Jack Haley, was one of its more famous victims. In order to make him appear silvery as the Tin Man, MGM decided to cover him in white face paint coated with aluminum dust.

    Nine days into filming, Ebsen went to the hospital for shortness of breath and cramping. He was hospitalized for two weeks, and at one point his lungs even failed. He was replaced by Jack Haley while he was still recovering. 

  • Tobey Maguire on Random Actors Whose Costumes And Makeup Nearly Killed Them On Set

    The upside-down Mary Jane/Peter Parker kiss in Spider-Man is one of the most iconic superhero film scenes - but it wasn't as romantic as it looked. As Tobey Maguire hung upside down, his mask forced rain water into his nose, turning the on-screen romantic kiss into more of a CPR situation on set. 

  • The Costumes On Star Trek: The Next Generation Gave The Cast Back Problems on Random Actors Whose Costumes And Makeup Nearly Killed Them On Set

    (#10) The Costumes On Star Trek: The Next Generation Gave The Cast Back Problems

    When Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted in 1985, creator Gene Roddenberry decided that Spandex was the material of the future. Unfortunately, spandex stretches only from side to side or top to bottom, depending on how it's cut. The costumes dug into the cast's shoulders, and considering they had to wear them for 12-15 hours a day, it was not long until many of the cast members developed painful back problems.

    Fortunately, the uniforms were upgraded by Bob Blackman during Season 3.
