15 Actors Who Transformed So Much That You Might Not Recognize Them

Some actors have shown how they deserve the title of big stars in Hollywood through their gifted talents. These actors and actresses have also proven to portray any character in different movies. Indeed, a great actor should cope with the film's diversity of characters. And various characters have other requirements to bring them to life, including character appearances.
Sometimes, actors wholly adapt to the look of the characters. That means these actors often transform into unique faces or whole bodies, whether they love it. Professional actors never mind that, and they nail it. In some movies, they transform into another person we can barely recognize who is portraying that convincing character. Still, we can't deny that makeup artists have brilliantly created transformations. Also, we can't believe who was behind some of our favorite characters.
Here are 15 actors who truly amazed us by transforming so much that we probably didn't recognize them. Scroll down and enjoy!
