exercise sessions as well as ballet classes in total she spent five to eight hours a day challenging her body and pushing herself to the extreme person frame was very obvious on-screen but Natalie said she was more than happy to throw herself into the role even though the demands of her training sessions definitely took a toll on her physically Natalie said she would do it all over again in a heartbeat to her the training was very rewarding but not everyone was enthusiastic about the actresses change in appearance the film's director became worried that Natalie had gone way too far with her weight loss he thought he looked at her during a certain point during their filming and he could see how tiny her back was that's when he told her it was time for her to start eating to put on a little more weight he even made sure that a bunch of food was delivered to her on Sep trailer now that the filming has wrapped Natalie is back to looking like her old self again but perhaps her drastic physical change was all worth it because the actress took home an Oscar reward for the film back in 2010 50 cent 50 cent isn't just known for his rap songs he's also known for his buff physique however he was more than willing to shed all of his muscle to play the role of a football player suffering from cancer in the film All Things Fall Apart before the movie he waved 214 pounds according to reports and after nine weeks he dropped down to an alarming a hundred and sick two pounds he posted a photo to a social media account looking gaunt and really frail and many of his fans were alarmed by his new appearance when he was done filming he finally spoke out about the role and why he felt it was necessary to push his body to the point of no return he decided to play the role of the sick character to play tribute to a friend who died of cancer for nine weeks the rapper went on a liquid diet and ran on a treadmill for three hours a day to lose more than 50 pounds in an interview he said the weight just started coming off when his manager saw him for the first time he told the rapper he needed to go see a doctor as soon as possible but 50-cent refused to seek help in his mind he felt he knew what was best for him and his body he had a mental image of how he thought the character should look on film and he wasn't going to stop losing weight and so he started to look the part in the end the rapper may not have received much praise for this role but he was proud of himself for challenging himself and changing his entire physical appearance Renee Zellweger for the first - Bridget Jones films actress Renee Zellweger put on some pounds in order to play the British character she reportedly gained over 30 pounds for the first film back in 2001 we thought she looked amazing in the film but her heavier weight really shocked some of her fans she also received a bit of backlash for the weight gain and people began to fat shame her for absolutely no reason Renee said she couldn't understand why the character's weight was such a big issue she didn't view Brigitte as overweight at all in fact Renee thought the character had a healthy weight and we definitely agreed the actress also said she wished the media and the public would just support her choice to pack on the pounds in the end it really was her choice and no one could stop her from doing what she felt was right in her heart when it came time for her to film the third installment of the movie the actress was ready and willing to gain the weight once again but movie executives had another thing in mind the director of the film actually talked Renee out of changing her body for the third film said they wanted to portray Bridget with Renee's normal body to show that the character had finally achieved her ideal body weight Chris Hemsworth when Australian actor Chris Hemsworth hits the red carpet he always looks to be in great shape very toned and extremely Deborah he makes his fans swoon whether he is in a three-piece suit or running around town in a casual outfit of jeans and a t-shirt but fans felt their crush for the actor came to a screeching halt when he revealed his alarming weight loss on his Twitter account Chris shared a picture of himself looking completely unrecognizable with his unruly hair and facial hair but that's not all his body looked absolutely tiny and you could practically see his ribs poking out in the photo Chris let his fans know his weight loss was due to a movie role but not only that he also told his followers he didn't recommend they take part in the diet that completely transformed his body from buff to frail in just four weeks Chris dropped 33 pounds for the movie and a heart of the sea by eating the least amount of food possible in an interview he said he ate just 500 calories a day and his meal plan consisted of a boiled egg salad and not much else the actor says his restricted diet actually helped him capture his character Owen Chace who spent 90 days stranded at sea we think he did an amazing job in the film but we're glad he was slowly able to gain some of the weight back and reclaim his healthy figure when it's Paltrow Wilde some of the transformation photos we've seen so far have been really drastic and somewhat disturbing this next one isn't as distressing as the rest but even so we felt it was only right that we include Gweneth Paltrow on our list because she's one of the many actresses who had to make some crazy changes in order to lose weight for a role back in 2010 when starred in the movie Country Strong with some help from a personal trainer she was able to pack on 20 pounds to play the role of an alcoholic Center the celebs who had to lose weight were forced to restrict their calories but for Gwen she was told to chow down to gain the weight she was able to indulge in a lot of fried chicken but her transformation into the singer wasn't all about packing on the pan she also spent a lot of time in the country scene in the city of Nashville Tennessee to get a better connect to her character when the film ended when's trainer said the actress was able to drop the weight almost immediately she committed herself to an exercise routine and a weight just blew up even after the movie premiered a lot of people didn't even notice when I had put on 20 pounds for this role it kind of makes us wonder why the director wanted her to gain so much weight if the transformation wasn't even that noticeable Jake Gyllenhaal when you think of some of the best looking actors in Hollywood you probably instantly think of Jake Gyllenhaal he has rugged good looks chiseled features and he's always in pretty good shape but Jake's appearance drastically changed in 2014 when he filmed the movie Nightcrawler in total he lost 30 pounds by going on a crash diet that restricted his calories and running 50 miles from his house to the film set each and every night his diet mainly consisted of kale salad and chewing gum which pretty much sounds like torture to us however Jake was able to pull it off but it came at a cost his social life suffered a lot during filming and he basically went into complete isolation he couldn't meet up friends for lunch or dinner because that would mean he would be cheating on his strict diet when his mom finally caught a glimpse of his wiry frame she was very worried for her son's well-being thankfully he was able to gain the weight back after his time as the character Lou bloom came to an end we're sure his mom was happy to see her son back to a healthy weight and looking like his old self again and hopefully he's back to hanging out with his pals and enjoying their company over dinner and dessert Rooney Mara we're used to seeing Rooney Mara on the red carpet looking like a million bucks the actress always appears to be so poised elegant and graceful whenever she attends an industry so when she made her first appearance on the big screen in the 2011 film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo our jaws dropped Bruni really took a role as Lisbeth the computer hacker seriously we're pretty sure it took her a while to memorize her lines but not only that she had to change her entire appearance from head-to-toe Rudy's character has a crunch and rocker inspired appearance with dark black hair tattoos and piercings so transform herself Bruni chopped off her hair dyed it black and had it styled in a punk hairdo she also went as far as to bleach her eyebrows and she had her nose eyebrow and another private part of her body pierced when a movie wrapped many people were concerned and a bit confused as to why Rooney didn't revert back to her old self well it was later revealed that she decided to just stay in character she was already signed on to appear two more back-to-back movies as the grungy hacker in the film's the girl who played with fire and the girl Kicked the hornets nest Matt Damon if you're a fan of actor Matt Damon you won't believe how far he went for his role in the 1996 film courage under fire the movie was filmed at the start of his career and the actor wanted to give his all as the character Ilario we have this photo from the movie and we just can't believe how shocking Matt's transformation was he looked a lot more slender and was much lankier his appearance did a complete 180 from what he looks like today many years after his appearance in the movie the answer took part in a reddit humanae session when asked what his most challenging rule was he said that appearing and courage under fire was the most challenging part he had ever had to play he was just 25 at the time the movie was filmed and he got his way down to 139 pounds even at that age 139 pounds and wasn't a comfortable weight for him it's also a huge drop compared to 190 pounds which is how much he normally waits to get rid of the pounds Matt ran 13 miles each and every day but he said that wasn't even the hard part the most difficult part about losing the weight was sticking to a very strict diet the actor said all he ate was chicken breast studied for himself he didn't have a chef or someone to guide him along the way so he made up his own diet and workout regiment upon his and Hathaway when it came time to film the screen adaptation of ladies it up actress Anne Hathaway really wanted to bring the character Fantine to life to prepare for the film and lost a total of 25 pounds but that's not all she even shaved her gorgeous brunette hair on screen she looked so much different from the way she has appeared in other films like the time she played funny and sarcastic character Mia in The Princess Diaries if you're alarmed by this photo of the actress looking much smaller just imagine what the people who had to see her every day actually thought during an interview one of the film's costume designers revealed that she was concerned about Anne's drastic weight loss the costume department even had to make alterations to many of Ann's outfits because she was literally shrinking before their eyes but to make her look even thinner they applied makeup to her face and body to make her look more svelte and more miserable although she had achieved the desired weight and kept pushing her weight loss further and further because she wanted to make sure she's properly reflected the character's poverty-stricken lifestyle in the end the actress took home an Academy Award for her portrayal so it seems like all of her hard work and dedication was really worth it Jonah Hill one of the most
