Actors Whose Role Changes Were So Dramatic That Their Fans Almost Didn’t Recognize Them

In the Depths of the Sea, Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth had to shed a lot of weight to play the lead role in The Heart of the Sea, a biopic in which he was required to play a much smaller version of himself. The extra 15 pounds were difficult to remove because Hemsworth had already slimmed down for another part. He took on the role of a sailor whose ship is sunk by a whale, forcing him and his crew to take refuge in the lifeboats.

He added he and his castmates primarily chatted about who looked the skinniest and who was able to drop the most weight.
