Many musicians stay in character as their "stage persona" for press as its good for business. Marilyn Manson, Johnny Rotten, Bowie, Dr Dre and more.

Stephen Colbert used to do his Daily Show/Colbert Report character even when not on those shows. It was as if that was who really was.

Could you include method acting in this? If so, Daniel Day-Lewis has many examples, probably most famously refusing a coat as it wouldn’t be available in the period the film was set in, resulting in him getting pneumonia. There’s a better example featuring him, I think. He did one movie as a guy who was wheelchair bound AND DID NOT WALK UNTIL PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHY WAS COMPLETE. He paid an assistant to push him around all day.

Andy Kaufman's career WAS one big kayfabe. All the Star Wars projects that describe "and R2-D2 as himself" "Thing as ITSELF..." There was a documentary that came out during the prequal days called "R2-D2 Under the dome" which was about the R2-D2 actor (not Kenny Baker, the actual robot). It was hilarious. Dammit, I was going to post about that. It was hilarious, with Richard Dreyfuss calling R2 a schmuck.

She called herself the "Queen of Nice" while her talk show was on the air. But, once it ended, former staff came forward on how much a cruel boss she was.

Even before her show left the airwaves people knew that Rosie wasn't as nice as she made out she was. Kind of like how Cosby's drugging women was an open secret since at least the mid 90s.
