should these actors be commended or
committed welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten actor body transformations
for this list we’ve decided to stick to
mainstream Hollywood actors who have
either lost or gained extreme amounts of
weight for one or more roles bonus
points if they became unrecognizable or
had health problems not that we condone
that sort of thing I understand
perfectly mr. Danny there are certain
things that should she count appear to
condign number 10 fitty cent All Things
Fall Apart muscular fitties shocked fans
with his suddenly sickly appearance
turns out his over fifty pound weight
loss was for All Things Fall Apart where
he honored his late childhood friend by
playing a cancer stricken football
player to drop from 214 to 160 the
rapper consumed only liquids and ran
three hours a day
he said the anguish this caused improved
his performance you be the judge was God
doing this to me Oh No Go Go saving
speed so number nine Eric Bana chopper
when bana was tapped to play criminal
chopper read he was known for comedy not
drama
but he took the role to heart and shaved
his head spent hours daily getting fake
tattooed hung with the real chopper and
gained 30 pounds worth of beer gut by
downing junk food and not exercising
I’ve never I don’t think I’ve ever been
is bloody insulted as I am right now he
later had a similarly drastic CGI aided
transformation when he became an angry
green monster sorta number eight Russell
Crowe The Insider Body of Lies Crowe was
cut as a Roman fighter so his appearance
in the insider was surprising with make
up an extra 35 pounds and an
artificially receding hairline the 33
year old became middle-aged immediately
but we were most shocked by Body of Lies
where the chameleon gained an astounding
63 pounds barely able to exit his car
Crowe suffered from dangerously high
cholesterol and struggled for two years
to drop the extra poundage just flow
with me buddy
number 7 tom hanks philadelphia castaway
this legend toiled for his first Oscar
Philadelphia was shot chronologically so
Hanks could undergo the necessary
physical changes to resemble an AIDS
sufferer which included thinning his
hair and starving himself to lose around
35 pounds he later gained a gut for
castaway before filming stopped for a
year so Hanks could adopt the desert
island diet to drop a shocking 50 pounds
and gain lots of hair where’s Wilson
Mario number six Charlize Theron monster
here’s proof she’s not just a pretty
face when the gorgeous Charlize Theron
accepted the role of Aileen Wuornos she
went all the way the normally spelt star
gained 30 pounds
thanks to chips and Krispy Kreme shaved
off her eyebrows and donned false teeth
and wore noses characteristic mannerisms
to personify the serial killer I just
haven’t been feeling too good lately you
know she quickly lost the weight before
her next role but gained some impressive
hardware
this has been such an incredible year
number 5 Robert DeNiro Raging Bull
no one does method acting like the Nero
to portray boxer Jake LaMotta in Raging
Bull the lean mean De Niro was trained
by La Motta himself and became such a
proficient boxer he actually won
competitive fights filming was then
halted for four months so De Niro could
eat his way through Europe to play the
retired LaMotta
he came back a record 60 pounds heavier
with health problems to boot
and all she wrote in on an old cavalry
behind it
number four Vincent D’Onofrio Full Metal
Jacket
thanks sixty pounds is bad Donofrio
expanded his waistline by seventy pounds
to play the clumsy Gomer Pyle in Full
Metal Jacket breaking De Niro’s record
here so ugly you could be a modern art
masterpiece d’Onofrio’s 280 pound frame
proved problematic during rigorous
obstacle course scenes as he fell and
injured his knee so badly he needed
surgery it took him seven months to gain
and nine months to lose but D’Onofrio
was back in his fighting weight for his
next job Oh Thor mighty god of thunder
who is this kid number three Matt Damon
courage under fire the informant to lose
40 pounds for his heroin addict role and
courage under fire
Damon ran 13 miles daily and crashed
dieted for 100 days without a
nutritionist for two days of filming the
unhealthy ordeal caused years of health
problems in fact doctor said he was
lucky his heart didn’t shrink you think
that matters yeah but Damon got his just
desserts
actually it wasn’t just desserts it was
pizza burgers and beer that added his
thirty pounds for the informant now I
caught a big break there number two
Jared Leto requiem for a dream
chapter 27 Dallas buyers club living on
NYC streets sugar and sex withdrawal and
a loss of 28 pounds
parrot Leto for life as a heroin addict
in requiem for a dream more impressive
was his 67 pound weight gain for chapter
27 which gave him doubt and left him
wheelchair-bound his secret chugging
melted haagen-dazs olive oil and soy
sauce I never felt like I gained enough
weight and it got up to 67 pounds it’s
easy to do that when you kind of
proposed it this kind of challenge to
yourself it’s hard to give up I got a
little lost in it but he was back to
scary skinny in 2012 alongside co-star
Matthew McConaughey in Dallas buyers
club number one Christian Bale The
Machinist Batman Begins bales trademark
intensity reached new levels when he
started smoking and ate one can of tuna
and an apple daily to drop to a
terrifying 120 pounds to play an
insomniac his non-existent muscles left
him struggling during action scenes but
that didn’t last long within six months
he gained 100 pounds for Batman Begins
what is your point of all those push-ups
if you can’t even lift up dodging low
between Batman’s he downsized again to
play a crack addict in the fighter and
won an Oscar so hard work pays off well
a roomful of talented and inspirational
people and what the hell am I doing here
