One way to get noticed in Hollywood is to go through a shocking physical transformation for a film. There is no question that appearance plays a big part in how a character comes across, and these 10 actors made the ultimate sacrifice – their health – in order to do a role justice.

An actor that lost weight as much for health reasons as for the look of the character he was playing is Seth Rogen. When he got the superhero role of the Green Hornet, he realized he was going to have to be in better shape to do the stunts that were required of him.
Rogen adopted a healthier meal plan and worked out regularly with a trainer. He did all the things you are supposed to do if you want to lose weight, and it obviously worked. Despite the favourable results, Rogen has joked, “I feel like a sellout, I feel lame, I feel like a guy I would make fun of.” So I guess being in good shape isn’t for everyone.
