Dustin Hoffman - Rain Man

Hoffman’s performance in 1988’s ‘Rain Man’ earned him universal acclaim and a Best Actor Oscar.

In the drama, he plays autistic savant Raymond Babbitt opposite Tom Cruise as his younger brother Charlie Babbitt and Hoffman has revealed that what he though was a pre-action pop actually made it into the final edit.

Speaking to Esquire magazine, he said: “You take the laughs out of ‘Rain Man’ and it's not the same movie. When we're in the phone booth and I fart, that was a fart. That wasn't written in the script. “We were waiting to do the shot and [director] Barry Levinson had the earphones on. The door closed and I snuck one out. We're tight in there, you know. And Cruise looked at me and said, ‘Did you fart?’ And I said, ‘Yeah.’ But I stayed in character. ‘Fart.’ Barry heard it and he came running over in hysterics and said, ‘That's in the scene. Put it in, wherever you want.’ That's a good director: someone who takes advantage of accidents."
