Not to know: Radical transformations of actors for the role
Actors often radically change their appearance for the sake of roles, both with the help of makeup, and by much more radical methods: losing weight, getting fatter or gaining muscle mass. Any of their experiments with physical form invariably impress the audience, and you can understand why: sticking a false nose or a fake bald spot is as easy as getting rid of them later, which cannot be said about the extra pounds. Never ceasing to be surprised by the selflessness of the actors, we recall the most vivid transformations in cinema.
