A few months ago I wrote Beefing Up: Ten Actors Who Underwent Remarkable Physical Transformations For Their Roles, an article about some of the most amazing physical transformations on film. In that post I only had room to acknowledge 10 actors for the phenomenal work they put in, but there are so many more talented individuals who have drastically gained or lost weight to properly portray their characters.

To recognize a few more actors for their efforts, I’ve compiled a second list with another 10 actors who underwent remarkable transformations. Keep in mind, this list is purely based on weight gain or weight loss. As impressive as it is when an actor is unrecognizable due to hair and makeup changes, the credit for those looks should be shared with the other people who are responsible. This list is to focus on the work the actor did, many times long before filming begins.

So, with that in mind, head to the next page to see 10 more incredible transformations.

    There’s a lot more to making transformations than just gaining or losing weight, which is what these lists seem to focus on. Look at Felicity Huffman in Trans America, didn’t gain or lose an ounce, but what a metamorphisis. She basically just used makeup and dropped her voice an octave or two.
    And then there’s the master chameleon Daniel Day Lewis with various accents and mannerisms.
