Did he really eat the live octopus?


If yes, this is a disturbing scene. Did someone read about that?

Yeah, at least as much as he got it all in his mouth but that last tentacle. Not a huge deal really as they even have a restaurant in Japan that serves a living fish skewered, but shocking to western audiences and he went fairly wild to make it more animalistic. It had me laughing a little when the tentacle covered his nose in that clown like fashion. I guarantee somebody considered editing that out. Best to keep in in... More real that way.
