For his role in the 2016 film Silence , actor Andrew Garfield engaged in a six-month period of celibacy and fasting to embody the intense spiritual and physical hardship of a 17th-century Jesuit priest. Garfield, in a 2022 WTF with Marc Maron podcast interview, described the experience as a transformative "Method Acting" process that caused wild, lucid experiences, which he defended as living truthfully under imagined circumstances.
