5) Jared Leto As Mark David Chapman (Chapter 27)
This is intended as a compliment: Jared Leto – when grossly overweight – looks a hell of a lot like Mark David Chapman.
Yes, according to Jarrett Schaefer’s Chapter 27, Chapman was just a haircut and a gym membership away from looking like one of the prettiest actors/rock stars on the planet. And vice versa, Leto is just weeks of Ben & Jerry’s binges away from looking like John Lennon’s mentally disturbed murderer.
In an early hint of the way Leto was heading with his acting, the sometime Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman went full method, gaining 67 pounds and emerging unrecognizable in preparation for Chapter 27.
It’s the blank eyes, cheap haircut, and over-sized glasses – on top of the doughy, babyish features – that complete Leto’s transformation into one of history’s most infamous killers.
