20 actors who fantastically changed for the sake of art
Art demands sacrifice. Preparing for a new movie part, actors confirm this every time. Trying to get closer to a perfect image, they put on heavy, voluminous costumes, wear wigs, and put up with several layers of makeup on their faces. But that isn't all. Sometimes they have to stand even more, including piercings, new hair colors, and even put on and losing up to 60 pounds.
