10 Actors Who Physically Transformed Themselves For 2015 Movies

9. Pierce Brosnan - The Moon And The Sun

Pierce Brosnan was once James Bond, the very epitome of manly cool, so seeing him as he appears in upcoming historical fantasy flick The Moon and the Sun wearing a funny wig and looking like the very definition of serious... well, it's an amusing sight. Brosnan plays King Louis XIV in this curious flick, which clings to a strange and compelling plot hinged around the infamous monarch and a quest for immortality (based on the novel of the same name, in case you didn't know). Is Brosnan a somewhat bizarre choice for the role of the French king, given that Louis XIV died when he was 38, and Brosnan is now 61? Whatever happens, the actor's take on this real life figure will likely prove unmissable, regardless of whether or not the movie is actually good - the inherent camp factor tied this casting decision already seems limitless.
