Christian Bale
You've seen him at his skinniest. You've seen him at his buffest. Now, check out Christian Bale in the worst shape of his life! In order to play Irving Rosenfeld in American Hustle, Bale had to pack on the pounds extremely fast...

Bale started to slouch, which made him look tubbier and shorter. He gained 42 pounds in two months, which led to him getting a herniated disk in his lower spine. He even shaved a receding hairline into his beautiful mane. Some roles bring out the best in people, others turn you into a fat old man.
