Look at him flaunting his ability to use his legs in front of those actual paraplegics.

Method acting. Aside from arguments from our perspective about whether they could have cast a paraplegic actor, He took the effort to learn about their lives so he could portray a paraplegic person realistically. I don't think that is a bad thing

Correct. It's common place amongst method actors. Robert De Niro worked as a real taxi driver, picking up passengers around New York City during breaks from shooting Taxi Driver. When playing a homeless man in a 1993 episode of the BBC anthology series Screenplay titled “Safe,” Robert Carlyle actually spent two weeks living on the streets.

Nothing mean about this in any way, shape or form. He was there as a learning experience and the people there will have been aware of that. They also will have known he was able bodied.

Wow, he put in zero effort there towards the end. Apocalypse Now, Superman and the infamous Island of Dr. Moreau

This is not about method acting. This POS is propping his working legs up to read, on a wheelchair that he doesnt need unless their shooting, in front of actual differently abled people. What a dick.

He spent time ignoring what he should have been doing and read a book instead. . . What a tool.

Wow, You're taking all that from one image? Likely snapped when on his break? I hope you don't approach everything in life with such negativity. It's really bad for you.
