Aaron Eckhart went to real grief counselling classes for Rabbit Hole research. Eckhart and Nicole Kidman play the parents of a dead girl in the film and while the Aussie actress took heed of advice not to attend a real session, the Possession star felt it would be good for his character. He said he felt awful pretending to be a sad dad at a grief counselling session as he prepared for the new film Rabbit Hole because other parents there had just lost a child. He quickly realised such sessions were not for actors. Eckhart told WENN, "It was raw. People had just lost a child the day before. There's a lot of emotion there. I gave my story in the group as my character, which was interesting. FemaleFirst - James Butlin
"I only went once and I didn't feel I needed to go back. I thought it was a little unethical and somehow duplicitous."
