These Actors Transformed Their Bodies Beyond Measure For Their Starring Roles

Being an actor is all about committing.

Some people are willing to give their heart and soul to get to the top. Although lots of roles don’t involve huge physical changes as they can normally be made with make up or a particular style of clothing, some do require a complete transformation. And these are the performances that matter the most.

Impressive transformations

To make this radical change, some actors would do anything to put themselves in their character’s shoes. Some however, have gone too far in the past to reach their goal.

From Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers Club or Chapter 27 to Christian Bale in The Machinist, and even Chris Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy, all these actors have one thing in common: their determination.
