Tom Cruise – Shaved Head, Prosthetic Hair & Fat Suit
On the set of Stiller’s Tropic Thunder, Tom Cruise had to forego his gorgeous hair and undergo a balding treatment to play Les Grossman. He was rumored to be wearing a fat suit rather than following a weight-gain diet. His character’s potted mouth and hairy fingers also draw attention. We were actually relieved to see Tom in his silly and comedic role after several serious roles.

Nick Carter – 49 pounds – Diet & Exercise
Nick Carter, a former member of the Backstreet Boys, once weighed 240 pounds. His friends and advisers are likely to have advised him to take weight loss pills to help him slim down. It didn’t help that he had a ten-year battle with substance abuse and had been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in 2009. He hired a personal trainer and went to the gym regularly. He also devised a strict diet plan that didn’t allow him to eat more than 1,400 calories per day.
