Naomi Grossman – Prosthetic Ears & Nose, Fake Teeth, Shaved Head & Heavy Makeup
For Pepper’s role on American Horror Story: Asylum, Naomi Grossman let the visual effects team on set do whatever they wanted with her appearance. The actress had to wear many prosthetics, makeup, and fake teeth to portray Microcephalic Pepper, not to mention the large ears she had to wear every day. Pepper’s preparations can take up to three hours each day before she’s ready to film.

Renee Zellweger – Gained 20 Pounds
Renée Zellweger put in a lot of effort to land Bridget Jones’s role in the cult comedy Bridget Jones’s Diary. She was too thin at first, so she changed her diet and went on a calorie-counting binge with pasta, chocolate bars, butter, milkshakes, and other high-calorie foods. Well, it doesn’t sound so bad if we eat whatever we want. The actress gained 20 pounds in no time, landed the role, and then slimmed down to her beautiful figure again.
