Full Metal Jacket’s Vincent D’Onofrio
The experience of playing Private First Class Henry “Hank” Miller in Full Metal Jacket had a profound effect on Vincent Donofiro. He was an athletic, rugged man who had no trouble attracting women before he was cast in the part. The turning point, though, came when he put on over 70 pounds. The drastic change in his appearance had a negative impact on his health. D’Onofrio claimed he was so out of his element that he couldn’t even tie his shoes. It opened his eyes to the fact that the simple things everyone takes for granted regarding beauty are actually quite significant.
