How do do you make an actor/actress cry for a movie?

  • Actresses and actors sometime cry in movies. How do you make them cry?

  • Answer:

    I believe most good actors and actresses can make themselves cry with some preparation. Shirley Temple was expert at that, although I hear her most famous crying scene was initiated by someone telling her that her pet dog had died. Another possibility would be onions, which someone mentioned, but I have not heard of anyone confessing to using that. I once heard that Vaseline was used to simulate tear-streaked cheeks, but I don't know how to confirm it. With some of the shenanigans that actresses and actors pull that get to the news, maybe the best way to make them cry is to actually give them a jail sentence.

You don't do anything. They have to do it. That's part of being an actor/actress. Usually, what they do is call up the memory of a particularily painful memory, something that made them cry buckets at the time, and it's usually enough to trigger tears when they need them. If that doesn't work, they squeeze a dab of onion juice on their wrist, and that brings tears.
