Actors Who Went Through Extreme Transformations For Roles
Chris Hemsworth, In The Heart Of The Sea
Another entry for Hemsworth, who looks totally unrecognizable as Owen Chase, a 19th-century seaman who got lost at sea. He lost 15 pounds and let his hair grow out to take on the staved and neglected look so greatly captured here.
At the time of the shoot, Hemsworth was eating just 500 calories a day – one fifth the daily recommended amount. According to sources at Entertainment Weekly, he said he felt like a supermodel.
