Charlize Theron – Gained 30 Pounds, Shaved Eyebrows, Wore Dentures & Thinned Her Hair
Charlize Theron’s transformation and portrayal of Aileen Wuornos, the female escort who turned murderer, was one of her most significant since she won an Oscar. Because Monster’s set was more about “make down” than makeup, Charlize had to leave her good looks at home. She also had to gain 30 pounds for a more realistic portrayal, but her final performance was just as stunning as she usually is.

Rebecca Romijn – Head-to-Toe Silicone Scales & Makeup
To transform into Mystique in X-Men, Rebecca Romijn had to sit for eight hours a day at the makeup and body painters. Silicone scales were used to cover her entire body from head to toe in body paint. The crew had to start around midnight to be ready for the set at 8 or 9 a.m. due to the exhausting procedure of applying thick blue layers to the skin. Before Jennifer Lawrence took over as the blue-hued shape-shifting mutant in the sequels, Romijn played the role.
