In 12 Years a Slave(2013) Michael Fassbender had his makeup artist paint his mustache and beard with alcohol so that the other actors would react naturally to the smell, making them uncomfortable around him whilst shooting scenes
Before filming their more brutal scenes together, Lupita Nyong'o, who portrayed the slave Patsey, and Michael Fassbender performed a ritual of "making nice." According to Nyong'o, "We wouldn't say anything to each other, just a look in the eye and a grasping of hands. Our characters are in such opposition, but we as actors needed each other in order to be able to go the distance."
