10 Incredible Body Transformations For Upcoming Movies
10. Jared Leto (Morbius)
Jared Leto is, to put it mildly, no stranger to the torturous process of transforming his body in pursuit of a perfect performance. The actor could almost put Hollywood’s king of disguise Christian Bale to shame with the ricocheting extremes his weight has trampolined between. However, not all of these gambles have paid off.
Where Bale is almost always lauded for the projects he’s put his body through hell for, Leto’s track record is… Well, let’s just say none of us would be happy with the reviews Chapter 27 garnered if we were the ones drinking olive oil every day for three months while preparing for the role.
That said, some of the thespian’s efforts have been rewarded, like his massive weight loss to play an AIDS-affected transwoman Rayon in 2013’s moving Dallas Buyers’ Club. The trick, Jared, is to pick a good project first—it doesn’t hurt to put in the effort once it’s in service of a halfway decent flick.
With that in mind, here’s hoping his huge muscle gains for Morbius, an upcoming DC project which sees him play the titular “living vampire”, will be worth the massive effort required to pull off his body transformation.
