Rooney Mara – Body Piercings, Tattoos & Weight Loss
When Rooney Mara got her first leading role, she didn’t play around. For her role as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the actress had to get tattoos and piercings on her body (lip, nose, eyebrow). She had a piercing removed after the film, but she kept one in particular. Thankfully, the tattoos were not real because removing them would not have been easy.

Natalie Portman – Lost 20 Pounds
Even though we know Natalie Portman as a slim, attractive actress, her role in Black Swan demanded a slimmer, more athletic figure, necessitating a 20-pound weight loss. The extreme weight loss was not the only factor; to master the ballet scenes, the beauty had to take 5 hours of ballet lessons every day. The hard work paid off, and Portman was nominated for an Academy Award for her thriller performance.
