Makeup and costumes play an important role in the success of a movie. They help enhance the experience of the audience by making the characters in movies realistic. When we shower the actors with praise for the effort put into their roles, we forget that they resort to transforming their bodies to embody the characters. It is inevitable that actors wear elaborate makeup or put on bulky costumes for hours, which might even turn actors' stomachs. That really takes a heavy toll on them.
For example, Jennifer Lawrence was in the role of Mystique, the mutant with the ability to shapeshift into anyone in “X-Men”. The actress shared that her body was wrapped in prosthetics and was painted blue color within 6 hours. For her, transforming into Mystique was an exhausting process.
Below are 10 times celebrities share their invisible struggle.
