... Tom Hanks
Movie stars have been known to do just about anything in the pursuit of looking good, but being beautiful isn't the only motivation in an actor’s life. Some are so committed to their craft they will dramatically alter their appearance when a part calls for it. Whether they’ve had to lose a significant amount of weight or build up massive muscles to be believable, the following thespians went to extremes to nail a role.
Hanks went from a slightly overweight businessman in the first half of the film to an emaciated castaway on a deserted Fiji island in the second—ultimately losing 55 pounds to play plane crash survivor Chuck Noland. Not only did he shed the weight in four months with a strenuous diet and exercise regimen, he wasn’t allowed to shave or cut his hair for weeks.
