Nicolas Cage accidentally invoked a method acting technique by unintentionally drinking blood while filming as Dracula for Renfield.
Nicolas Cage accidentally channeled Dracula while filming Renfield by drinking real blood. While he isn't the lead star of Renfield, as that title goes to Nicholas Hoult's eponymous downtrodden hero, Cage is a major draw with his depiction of infamous bloodsucker Dracula. As the horrifically cruel boss of Renfield, Cage's character has been a shining point of the movie's marketing campaign.
Yet while Renfield is a sequel to 1931's Dracula that won't feature Dracula much, Cage still has an opportunity to channel the worst parts of the vampire in the real world. In a Reddit Ask-Me-Anything promotion for Renfield, Cage admits that he accidentally drank his own blood at one point during filming. It certainly doesn't help that he had real fangs. Check out his quote below:
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT "No reason in terms of method, but the fangs were genuine fangs, they were ceramic and quite pointy. So I did bite my lip a few times which made me drink my own blood." What Is Nicolas Cage's Dracula Like In Renfield? Unlike its predecessor, Renfield isn't exactly aiming to be a horror movie. While it will feature some horror elements, its main goal is to depict the inherent comedy that comes from being the mild-mannered servant of one of history's most devilish monsters. For Cage, that means playing up the cruelest parts of Dracula and becoming the worst boss on the face of the Earth.
In order to keep Dracula fresh, Cage has been working tirelessly to create his own unique take on the character. After so many actors have put in the fangs, Cage plans to borrow from Christopher Lee's Dracula, while also playing into the surreal and humorous nature of the character.
