Actors Undergo Extreme Transformations for Coveted Roles

In the world of Hollywood, some actors have gone to incredible lengths to transform their bodies for coveted roles. According to a recent news report, Christian Bale, Charlize Theron, and Cillian Murphy are among the stars who have undergone extreme physical changes to embody their characters.

Back in 2004, Christian Bale famously lost a staggering 62lbs for his role in the psychological thriller The Machinist, slashing his weight from 182lbs to just 120lbs. The actor achieved this by surviving on a meager diet of a tin of tuna, an apple, and a black coffee per day, while still exercising. Bale's co-star later revealed that the extreme weight loss was the result of a simple typo in the original script.
