Leonardo DiCaprio needs no introduction. This 41-year old versatile American actor has always surprised us with his acting. He shocked us again when he decided to eat raw bison liver for the actual shoot in the film, The Revenant because he was a vegetarian.
DiCaprio reveals that The Revenant prop department did indeed build a fake bison liver from jelly (others claimed it was made from protein bars) -certainly a more edible alternative to the authentic bison internal organs! DiCaprio was worried that that the fake liver will not look real so he decided to eat an actual bison liver. In addition to the challenge of finding a real bison liver, however, production had to get permission to feed one of Hollywood's most valuable movie stars a raw, potentially diseased animal organ by getting clearance from both his team of lawyers and agents.
According to Clay Landry, who was the historical and wilderness technical adviser on the film, and who was on the set when the scene in question was shot, DiCaprio really ate raw bison liver.
DiCaprio shares that the disgusting part of eating a raw bison liver is the membrane around it because it bursts in your mouth when you bite it. While DiCaprio did not say if he puked after the shoot, his prop team think that he vomited after eating the raw bison liver.
Just the fact that he ate the actual raw bison liver already makes us puke but well he is Leonardo DiCaprio. He can eat anything he wants!
