When critics talk about chameleon-like actors, they tend to bring up the likes of Christian Bale and Gary Oldman, whose physical transformations for roles are notorious and stunningly effective. One performance they invariably overlook is that of Glenn Close in Hook.

Close appears as the Boo Box pirate in Captain Hook's introductory scene, who apparently bet against the Captain being able to kidnap Peter's children and bring them back to Neverland and is punished for doubting him.

It's incredible how much some well-placed facial hair and bushy eyebrows can do to make someone completely unrecognisable.
