10 Actors Who Physically Transformed Themselves For 2015 Movies

6. Charlize Theron - Mad Max: Fury Road

Charlize Theron is no stranger to physical transformations. Remember when she went super ugly in order to play notorious serial killer Aileen Wuornos in 2003's Monster? Yeah - she won an Oscar for that performance and everything, one which Roger Ebert regarded as "one of the greatest performances in the history of the cinema." Seriously. He said that. You can look it up. So whilst her appearance in upcoming action blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road isn't quite as monstrous as it was in that Aileen Wuornos biopic, Theron has clearly relished the opportunity to make herself a little apocalyptic looking, what with that shaved head, painted face and generally filthy demeanour. That's what living out in the desert will do to you, folks. Mad Max: Fury Road stars Tom Hardy as the titular character previously embodied by Mel Gibson, and is set for release in May 2015. George Miller, the director of the original Mad Max trilogy, also helmed this one: exciting!
