Sometimes, getting a movie role just right means not only getting into the right mental space, but also the right physical one. Many actors have lost or gained weight for their movies, and it often pays off for them in their careers – though their health does suffer. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com counts down our picks for the top 10 actor body transformations. For this list, we've decided to stick to mainstream Hollywood actors who have either lost or gained extreme amounts of weight for one or more roles. Bonus points if they become unrecognizable or have health problems – not that we condone that sort of thing.
