Johnny Depp – Hair Dye, Hair Removal & Face Prosthetics
Forget about the transformation into Jack Sparrow; Johnny Depp’s portrayal of the Boston mafia boss in Black Mass is far superior. It’s one thing to wear foundation, but Depp wanted to look like the mafia boss, so he readily agreed to have his hair dyed. Depp’s makeup artists also plucked his hair and eyebrows one by one to achieve a balding look. Aside from the “hair thing,” the transformation took 22 hours and included many other features such as a prosthetic.

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.
