10 Actors Who Physically Transformed Themselves For 2015 Movies

3. Vin Diesel - The Last Witch Hunter

Vin Diesel - how hilarious you look! The Last Witch Hunter doesn't sound like it's going to be anything other than a terrible movie, of course; that is, unless it comes across as entirely self-aware for the sum of its parts, and offers ol' Vin Diesel the chance to ham it up across two blood-splattered hours. The plot concerns the hero of the title, Kaulder, and his attempts to stop a plague from destroying New York City. Also: Kaulder is immortal. To play the role, Diesel has gone and gotten himself a huge, bushy beard and - woah! - a bit of hair, too, which really feels at odds with what the actor usual looks like whenever he turns up on screen: you know, bald and... well, bald.
