Ray Liotta has embodied a plethora of incredible roles throughout his dextrous acting career, but his collaboration with Ridley Scott on 2001's "Hannibal" has to be a standout moment. Discussing the iconic movie moment, and musing on how he prepared to have his character eat his own brain, Liotta tells Looper, "It was fun. The biggest challenge was, how do you react when somebody feeds you your brain? Ridley Scott and I were just, 'So how should we do this?'"
Liotta continues, "And I had talked to some people and they said that there's a few brain surgeries that the person is awake and has to be awake because [of] whatever they're doing up in the brain. So I went and watched somebody do brain surgery. I kept behind them because it was kind of intense and the person was awake as they were doing it. So it gave me some insight in terms of what could happen." Basically, Liotta put in some serious preparation to create the now unforgettable horror movie scene that not everyone would be able to stomach.
"Hanna" Season 3 is now streaming exclusively on Prime Video.
