10 Actors Who Physically Transformed Themselves For 2015 Movies

7. Hugh Jackman - Pan

It's true: Hugh Jackman looks a bit like a bizarro world version of his Les Miserables character, Jean Valjean, in upcoming Peter Pan re-imagining, Pan, which has been helmed by the likes of Joe Wright, and co-stars Rooney Mara, Amanda Seyfried, Garett Hedlund and Levi Miller. Contrary to popular belief, Jackman isn't playing Captain Hook, but another infamous pirate villain: that of Blackbeard. No, it doesn't make much sense that Blackbeard is the villain in a Peter Pan movie instead of Captain Hook. Then again, neither does Hugh Jackman's overall look in this flick. Quite frankly, he looks downright ridiculous - a cross between a Sex Pistols fan and a Mad Max villain. No clue as to how this movie will turn out; going by the trailer, it could go either way. Peter Pan has been adapted to film in various forms over the years - fingers crossed this take on the material feels fresh.
