eating magoot scene.
Did bale really eat maggots? If so how much do you think he got payed for it?

sharei think he probably did. they were real worms apparently and bale seems the kind of guy to do such a thing for a role, he's well known for his method acting, losing a ton of weight for roles etc.
besides, they're just worms, when you get past that it's not really any more disgusting than eating a lump of cow flesh, they're actually pretty good for you, pure protein. i very mch doubt if he got paid extra for it, like i said, just some worms.

A maggot is the larva of a fly (order Diptera); it is applied in particular to the larvae of Brachyceran flies, such as houseflies, cheese flies, and blowflies,[1] rather than larvae of the Nematocera, such as mosquitoes and Crane flies. It is not a worm.
shareyeah that's all well and good, but they were clearly not maggots, they were mealworms. basically the same thing i'll admit, except they're the larva of a beetle not a fly.
they're called called mealworms and so i'll refer to them as such.

I don't doubt Bale's commitment, but a lot of productions actually have guys on set to make sure no harm is done to animals (yes, including bugs).
