11. Russell Crowe - Body of Lies (2008)
Russell Crowe is most famous for playing Gladiator's Maximus, a man in peak physical condition. A few years later, Crowe portrayed the Cinderella man Jim Braddock, a light heavyweight boxer. Year's later, Crowe portrayed the high-ranking CIA officer Ed Hoffman in 2008's Body of Lies. To re-iterate to the audience that Hoffman was not out working in the field the way a man in his prime like DiCaprio's Roger Ferris, Crowe added 65 pounds to his physique to play the more sedentary intelligence office.
