“Unbelievable Transformations: You Won’t Guess What These Stars Really Look Like Behind Their Iconic Roles!”
Steve Carell As John Du Pont In Foxcatcher
When Steve Carrell left The Office we knew there were great things to come from one of the funniest men in Hollywood. What we didn’t realize was that he would appear as the creepy and erratic multi-millionaire John du Pont in Foxcatcher. Wearing a prosthetic nose and speaking in a gravelly timbre, Carell was unrecognizable in the role.
He didn’t win the Oscar for her performance but he was nominated – not bad for a guy who had just left the biggest comedic role of his career.
Johnny Depp As Whitey Bulger In Black Mass
Johnny Depp is probably more comfortable in makeup than without. From Captain Jack Sparrow to Willy Wonka and The Mad Hatter, he has never shied away from plastering his face with makeup. A team of makeup artists was required to transform Depp into the mobster Whitey Bulger for the movie Black Mass. Each hairpiece worn by Depp could only be used once and they each took 22 hours to assemble.
Black Mass wasn’t as well-received as other Depp movies but his role was masterfully portrayed.
