9 Actors Who Sacrificed Everything For Terrible Movies

9. Jared Leto Gets Gout - Chapter 27 (2007)

Chapter 27 tells the story of Mark David Chapman, the man who murdered John Lennon in 1980. Chapman is portrayed in the movie by Jared Leto, who for the role gained a ridiculous 67 pounds by eating tubs of ice cream mixed with olive oil.

This sure made him look the part, and gave him the opportunity to show off how serious an actor he could be, but the film itself was really up to his standard.

For starters, it's a predictable affair, offering up nothing new to say about Chapman or why he did what he did. On top of that, it's actually quite boring, with no shocks or big revelations.

For the role, Jared Leto suffered through a miserable diet and at one point found himself inflicted with gout, and though his role was far and away the best part of the film, the movie itself wasn't worthy of his effort.
