Is Christian Slater an attractive man? If so, I think he became something else in He Was a Quiet Man (a film about which I have mixed feelings).
Nah, that was just make-up and dirty clothes. If he were alive, I’d still do him. Hard.
Another vote for Amy Sedaris in Strangers With Candy.
Hilary Swank in Boys Don’t Cry, unless you’re into skinny butch dykes in which case she is pretty hot.
Felicity Huffman was pretty brave for playing someone born male in TransAmerica.
Toni Colette put on a few pounds and a lot of bad make up for Muriel’s Wedding.
Minnie Driver in Circle of Friends. She may have just happened to have been fat at the time though.
And how! That was unbelievable, but it’s 100% Christian Bale.
Yeah, Charlize Theron was who I was gonna post, but it should have been obvious that it would be foremost on a lot of people’s minds. Perhaps she was so willing to do it because she’s already so unquestionably hot that she didn’t have to worry about marring her public image/perception of her beauty?
John Barrymore in Dr. Jeckyll and Mister Hyde – one of the silent ones. He refused to use makeup, so Mr. Hyde is all him.
Now, now.
Marlon Brando in The Godfather. He was far more handsome at the time. By the time he reprised the look for The Freshman it wasn’t a stretch.
Not exactly known for acting but 50Cent recently lost a lot of weight for a role as a cancer patient.
and has apparently put some of it back on.
Seriously! Unless Jared Leto’s all-time favorite food is McDonald’s fish sandwiches, which wouldn’t really surprise me.
Jim Sturgess in Heartless
Ralph Fiennes in the Harry Potter movies
I also remember Jennifer Jason Leigh made up to look beyond plain in a historical movie, but I can’t remember which.
