As if there wasn't enough pressure on actors when playing a real-life, living person, imagine getting text messages from that person to "not screw it up." That's what happened with Miles Teller who portrays the charismatic and determined boxer Vinny Pazienza in BLEED FOR THIS who made a comeback to the ring after a severe spinal injury. Vinny Pazienza told Teller to put a banana in his "undies" and "eat nails for breakfast kid" while shooting. Watch as Teller explains the process of becoming Vinny Pazienza for BLEED FOR THIS, and the tips he got from Vinny.
BLEED FOR THIS is now playing in movie theaters.
