15. Christian Bale – The Machinist
To kickstart our list we’ve chosen Christian Bale in The Machinist. This 2004 flick won many festival awards including three Barcelona Film Awards for its impeccable acting. The most notable of which being Christian Bale’s performance.
The story follows Bale’s character, Trevor, as he goes about life. The only catch is, Trevor hasn’t slept in a year and begins to see characters that may or may not be real. In order to prepare for the role, Christian Bale committed to losing 60 pounds to get that sickly, skeleton look of the anorexic insomniac he was portraying.
By the time The Machinist wrapped filming Bale only weighed 120 pounds at 6 feet tall. Thereafter Bale gained back a whopping 100 pounds in order to play billionaire superhero Batman in the Dark Knight series. That must of been one hell of a workout routine!
