In The Dark Times , Joe Wright's movie, Gary Oldman is unrecognizable . And for good reason, he had to slip into the skin of Winston Churchill, a historical figure with whom he does not really share the same silhouette. Also, free movie download sites the actor had to wear "half of its weight prosthesis" to gain volume and spend no less than 200 hours makeup for the entire shoot.
A personal investment that has nothing new and that is even rather a challenge for many actors. If the story of Robert de Niro who took 30 kilos to camp the boxer Jake La Motta in Raging Bull is known, some have since pushed the physical transformation even further. Review of five memorable metamorphoses
1.Charlize Theron in Monster
In the early 2000s, Charlize Theron found her first major role in Monster 's Patty Jenkins. The character of Aileen Wuornos, serial killer executed a year earlier, seemed far removed from her. The actress took fifteen kilos and worn silicone prostheses to reshape the shape of her face. A disfigurement that has borne fruit since Charlize Theron has gleaned thirty awards, including an Oscar for the best actress and the Silver Bear for the best female performance at the Berlin festival.

3.Cate Blanchett in I'm Not There
In Todd Haynes' I'm Not There , half a dozen actors play fantasy characters depicting one of Bob Dylan's many facets. The most convincing performance is that ... of an actress. In the case of Cate Blanchett who embodies Jude, a figure representing the androgyny of the singer in the 1960s. "I smoked a lot, listened to everything that went through my ears, strapped my chest and plunged into the light" , she explained at the release of the film in 2007. Her performance did not go unnoticed since she was awarded the prize for female interpretation at the Venice Film Festival.
4.Anthony Hopkins in Hitchcock
The rounded silhouette of Alfred Hitchcock was his distinctive sign, almost his logo. To embody the British director in Hitchcock , Anthony Hopkins had to take a few pounds (a belly was still provided), get a false nose, a double chin silicone and subscribe to brown lenses . download free full movie Converted into working time, this gives three hours of daily makeup multiplied by thirty-five days of filming.
5.Christian Bale in Backseat
We would not really like to be the body of Christian Bale as the actor puts it to the test. For The Machinist , in 2005, he had lost 28 kilos - and he tells himself that the producers had to stop him because he was ready to lose twelve more - and this year to camp the American politician Dick Cheney in Backseat (out expected this year), it has instead had to gain weight.
