19. Nicholas Hoult's Insane Transformation (Fury Road)
Nicholas Hoult has certainly come a long way since the days of his childhood role in 2002's About A Boy and his much-loved Tony Stonem character on the UK TV series Skins. Now he's playing a young version of Hank McCoy (aka Beast) in the X-Men movies, as well as an already-iconic supporting character, Nux, in the upcoming Fury Road. His character quips the famous line "What a day! What a lovely day!" around which the movie's marketing has revolved, and the transformative make-up job done to make the actor seem like a world-weary, severely dehydrated psychopath is nothing short of revelatory. Hoult recently called the movie's shoot "scary", and that's likely before he even got out of the make-up chair.
