Ever seen a movie and been shocked at the appearance change of your favorite actor? These Dramatic Changes For Roles in movies are shocking, interesting and satisfying to watch. The dedication these actors went through is unreal; to change your body just for a role!
From juice-diets to sitting in hair and makeup for 10 hours just for a 3 minute scene. We really commend these artists that went all the way.
Charlize Theron in Monster
Charlize Theron proved that she was one of the greats with this dramatic transformation. For her role in the movie ‘Monster’, Theron put on 15 kilos, shaved off her eyebrows and even stained her skin. Bravo!
Christian Bale
The american heartthrob gained 20 kilos for the film “American Hustle” and herniated two disks in the process.
Earlier, for the movie ‘The Machinist’ Bale lost 30 kilos and shrunk himself to an almost malnourished state. He actually put his body in danger to fit the role. Amazing!
Marlon Brando – The Godfather
The classic movie star Marlon Brando went through some serious discomfort. In order to look and play an older character, he wore dentures, stuffed cotton in his mouth and spent an awful lot of time sitting in hair and make-up.
All these efforts weren’t in vain. The star won his second Oscar after this film.
Gwyneth Paltrow
For her role in the movie Shallow Hal, she had to plan an obese woman. Paltrow had to go through more than 4 hours of makeup. She even walked around like that in public, stating no one would recognize her or make eye contact with her! Forger wearing a fat suit, imagine the kind of patience one needs to sit through half a day of makeup!
Paltrow also stated that this was her least favorite movie role to play – only because of that heavy fat suit!
