CHRISTIAN BALE

If there’s one Hollywood star who can be called the master of transformation, it is Christian Bale. The 46-year-old actor has played different characters throughout his career. For each role he landed, Christian would often go as far as to change his overall physique to give the performance the justice it deserves – he can be skinny to very thick if his movie asks for it. One of his most controversial transformations was when he did The Machinist in 2004.

Here, he lost 60 pounds in just four months by sticking to a diet that only consumed water, apple, and one cup of coffee a day. Although he already had a thin, 120-pound figure, Christian believed it still wasn’t enough and insisted on losing some more weight. Fortunately, the film producers thought that his at-the-time build was already more than enough for the role. With this kind of project, the film companies surely gave him insurance to ensure his health is well taken care of.
