16 Actors Who Underwent Drastic Makeovers To Fit Their Roles
Being an actor appears to be a nice career on the surface, and it is, but that doesn't mean some hard work isn't involved now and again. Some actors and actresses are so well-known for their roles that we can hardly imagine them in completely other types of roles. True artists, on the other hand, always manage to surprise their fans with a total makeover.
Actors will sometimes go to extremes for their performances. This can include changing their bodies, going through intensive training, wearing make-up or unpleasant prosthetics, and, in extreme situations, isolating themselves so they can totally immerse themselves in their character.
Today, we've compiled a list of actors who have changed their appearance in the most surprising ways. Which makeover has impressed you the most?
