How difficult is acting?
Very difficult, to be honest. A major reason for this is the fact that all actors today have an emotional baggage, as the pressure in life is like never before; with more materialism coming in, this baggage will only increase. There is a saying a depressed mind can never give a great body language! No wonder meditation, chanting & some ME time, is increasingly being taught by out-of-the-box trainers, to make aspiring actors as well as established actors, assert their true individuality and be at peace with themselves. Actors ought to be mentally strong. Their mind's or inner self's approach to life, shouldn't be reactive, rather responsive. More and more acting-gurus world-over are teaching it.
Other than being mentally fit, an actor ought to be physically fit too, if they look at longevity in terms of lead roles! The biggest superstars in #India
are all past 50.. because for a hero, face is not that important as his
fitness and ability to pull-off a strenuous role! It's a different
story for an actress though, her face has to be charming and once she
pushes towards late-20's or early 30's her popularity starts to fade
away. Reason why most of 50+ heroes have 20+ heroines. As for fitness, I
always cite a scene from #Wolf @ 57 the way #Jack_Nicholson runs up the stairs; goosebumps! No wonder he is the most nominated #best #actor in #Oscar #AcademyAward history!
