10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Goldust

Christian Bale famously dropped to 120 pounds for his role in The Machinist in 2004 - so it's not as though there's any shortage of precedent for radical body transformations in show business. Sometimes, it's exactly what's required of you to really get your teeth into your new role.

Still, maybe getting breast implants when you're a 30-year-old father is going a little too far - particularly when you perform in a full body suit anyway (have you heard of chicken fillets?)

Apparently, the son of the American Dream was prepared to go under the knife in order to help his character get over, going so far as to ask Vince McMahon to fund the procedure.

Fortunately, saner heads prevailed and Goldust's idea never saw the light of day - which is probably just as well. It would have been impossible for him to be taken seriously as a wrestler again if he had actually gone through with his plans.
