The 10 Best Actor Transformations
Today's site from The Guardian, offers an entertaining report on a selection of
the most dramatic and extreme actor transformations in the movies. Gentle
Subscribers will discover some widely known changes made by dedicated thespians
as well as a few of the less well known efforts of actors to become totally
immersed in their roles.
"As Johnny Depp goes bald for Black Mass, we hail the most startling cinematic
metamorphoses ..."- from the website
Beginning with an almost unrecognizable Johnny Depp, the ten actors in this
report provide striking evidence of their commitment to their craft. From the
beauty-stripping alterations undergone by Charlize Theron for her movie Monster
to the iron control of Christian Bale in dropping more than a skeleton-making
60 pounds for his role in The Machinist, the selection focuses on the most
intense efforts of well-known actors. Photos or videos accompany each of the
figures in this informative and slightly cringe-worthy feature.
