"Nothing happened over the course of making "Gangs of New York" (2002) that made me think, 'Why don't I do this more often?'" To simulate Bill the Butcher's fake eye in "Gangs of New York," Daniel Day-Lewis had his own eyeball covered in prosthetic glass. Day-Lewis learned to tap his fake eye with the tip of a knife without blinking.
Day-Lewis became so uncomfortable with the greasy hairstyle he wore as Bill the Butcher that he shaved his head immediately after filming completed. Leonardo DiCaprio accidentally broke Day-Lewis' nose while filming a fight scene. Day-Lewis continued to film the scene despite the injury.
Once, after the day's filming was finished, DiCaprio and director Martin Scorsese talked Daniel Day-Lewis into going out to eat with them. He refused to break character, and the waitress was afraid to go near him. He had several scuffles in parking lots with the citizenry of Rome, where the movie was filmed.
Day-Lewis said in an interview that he listened to the music of Eminem to prepare for his role, and employed two circus performers to travel to his home in Wicklow, Ireland, to teach him how to throw thin, sharp daggers. He also went to work in a butcher's shop for several weeks to learn how to meticulously incise and gut carcasses.
