18 Times We Had No Idea What Our Favorite Actors Look Like in Real Life

Certain roles in movies and TV shows require significant transformations from the actors. For example, Ralph Fiennes, as Lord Voldemort, spent more than two and a half hours in make up every day. And Jared Leto had to gain 67 pounds for the movie Chapter 27. No wonder we sometimes don't even recognize our favorite actors.
