10 Famous Faces Successfully Hidden By Incredible Make-Up

2. Jeff Goldblum - The Flyjeff seth The Fly is the ultimate in body horror, chronicling the degeneration of a scientist into a misshapen fly monster after a tragically flawed experiment. Seen by many as a metaphor for the debilitating effects of AIDS, which was still largely misunderstood at the time, the dehumanizing transformation is particularly devastating. Jeff Goldblum gives a fantastic performance as the brilliant scientist who has to experience firsthand the horrifying fruits of his labor. The makeup is particularly impressive, being carefully designed in stages. First involving little more than subtle facial lesions and tiny fly hairs, it gradually becomes more complex, with larger prosthetics, wigs, fake teeth, and distorted contact lenses, until finally Goldblum is in a massive full-body suit.
