How to change your race or gain 15 kilograms in a few hours
For the sake of roles, actors extremely lose weight and get fat, apply tattoos, shave their heads and spend many hours behind makeup. We found 20 photos of actors who are simply impossible to recognize after makeup.
Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, "X-Men".
Michael Chiklis, "Fantastic Four".
Johnny Depp and Edward Scissorhands.
Dustin Hoffman and Captain Hook.
Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool.
Ron Perlman as Hellboy.
Hugh Kiyas-Byrne in "Mad Max: Fury Road".
Dave Batista in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Doug Bradley in the movie "Hellraiser". It took six hours for the makeup artists to make the needles stick out perfectly each time.
Gwyneth Paltrow in the movie "Love of Evil". The actress had to wear a thickening jumpsuit weighing more than 10 kilograms and apply latex makeup. Paltrow says that she felt the attitude towards her heroine: "People avoided eye contact with me, and some tried not to even look in my direction."
Here's what it looked like.
William Kircher is one of the reincarnated dwarves in the Hobbit trilogy. In the forehead of his hero is a fragment of an axe. Due to the fact that "The Hobbit" was filmed in a higher resolution than ordinary films, the edges of the false makeup had to be masked with the help of compression material, which is used in astronautics.
Angelina Jolie in "Maleficent". Sharp cheekbones, a hump on the nose and pointed ears are made with silicone pads. The molars for the role were also lengthened and sharpened.
John Hurt in the movie "The Elephant Man", filmed in 1980. The construction of the 15-piece construction took 12 hours, and after the shooting day, Hurt was so exhausted that he had to recover for another day.
Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf in the film "Life in Pink". For the sake of a portrait resemblance to the singer, Cotillard shaved off her eyebrows and part of the hair on her forehead, and it took five hours to make up every shooting day.
John Matushak in the movie "Stooges".
Eddie Murphy as the Chinese Mr. Wong in the film "The Tricks of Norbit" (we saw another amazing transformation of the actor in the film "The Crazy Professor").
Benicio del Toro, "The Wolf Man".
Charlize Theron in the movie "Monster". The actress did not get off only with makeup — she also had to gain 14 kilograms.
Emma Thompson in the comedy "My terrible nanny". At the premiere, the actress had to carry a prop stick with her-otherwise the children would not have realized that this is the same woman as in the film.
Selma Blair in the comedy "Dirty Shame".
