Sacrifice for the show! Hollywood stars' weight changes

As the saying goes, "life is like a play." Many Hollywood actors hold the spirit of "becoming whoever you play" and are willing to sacrifice for the role by drastically gaining or losing weight in order to perfectly interpret the image of the character in the play. Including Renée Zellweger who gained weight twice, and Charlize Theron, Matt Damon and others, they have the weight magic of Sun Wukong's 72 transformations, how did they do it is curious.

In order to star in the first and second episodes of the movie "Bridget Jones's Diary", Renée Kathleen Zellweger went on a binge eating and weight gain campaign twice, gaining more than 10 kilograms each time. She once admitted that the secret to gaining weight was a high-fat diet with "moderate meals". For example, breakfast was bagels with honey cream and potato chips, lunch was cheese lobster and grilled vegetables, afternoon tea was cherry pie, dinner was fried salmon steak, and there was a big cup of hot chocolate before bed. However, she also said confidently that after the filming is finished, if she eats boiled vegetables and tofu soup for a month, the annoying fat will disappear immediately. It is rumored that the third episode of Bridget Jones will start filming soon, and people may have another chance to see Renée Zellweger's weight "perform magic"!

There is also the beautiful actress Charlize Theron, who became famous for her role in the movie Monster in 2003 and won the 76th Academy Award and the 61st Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. She gained about 14 kilograms.

As for male artists, Tom Hardy, the character actor in "INCEPTION", broke his own limit and gained 13 kilograms during the filming of "Warrior". He played an MMA mixed martial arts fighter and showed off his fierce boxing and kicking skills. He said that the way he gained weight was to supplement a lot of protein every day.

Veteran actor Robert De Niro once went on a feasting trip to Northern Italy and France in order to play the middle-aged former world middleweight champion Jake La Motta in the movie "Bull". His weight increased from 66 kg to 93 kg. However, it is worth celebrating that the result of gaining weight for the role also earned him the Best Actor Award at the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards!

However, the most shocking thing was probably Matt Damon, who, in order to play a drug-addicted medic in the 1996 film "In the Line of Courage", only ate chicken, egg whites, boiled broccoli and unseasoned baked potatoes every day, and ran 19.3 kilometers. As a result, he lost 18 kilograms in 100 days. In 2009, in order to make the image in "The Scoundrel" more consistent with the real person Mark Whittaker, he ate hamburgers, pizza and beer every meal in a short period of time, and gained a total of 14 kilograms.

There are more people who lose weight for acting. In order to perfectly play the role of an American football player with cancer in the movie "Things Fall Apart", rapper 50 Cent lost weight from 97 kg to only 72 kg. As for the actresses, there is Natalie Portman, the protagonist of the 2010 "Black Swan". In order to make her already thin figure more in line with the perfectionist ballet dancer in the play, she lost another 9 kilograms through hard training 7 days a week, 5 hours a day!
