Will an actress EVER be as dedicated to a role as Christian Bale is?
Even in Xmen, Jlaw is a fat fuck playing Mystique. She didn't even TRY and lose weight.
>>71872089
Dude probably fucked off a few years off his life span with how many times he's lost weight and put it back in short spans of time but you can't but admire him. There is no other actor more dedicated than him, it's just amazing how shitty female actors become once they hit fame, like Kelly C(elulose) for example
Speaking of Bale what's his next project now that he's abandoned making capekino?
>>71872089
Melissa McCarthy gained like 300lbs for the new ghosbusters movie, now that's what I call dediction
Bridget Regan had to have her hair chemically straightened and dyed brown for the role of Kahlan. She was originally a redhead.
There's dedication and then there's pure stupidity.
Who cares? You can be very dedicated to preparing for your role and still put out a miserable performance. Whatever the actor went through to prepare for his role doesn't matter, only what he can portray on screen.

Nobody ever mentions this when that pic is posted so I will say it: The Machinist is one of the silliest movies I've ever seen.
Christian Bale has never been blacked though.
Or has he?
ahem

You think shaving your hair is like Bale in the Machinist?
Come on summer friend...
>>71872089
He wanted to lose even more weight, but they told him not to. He's not sane.
>>71873381
Elektra too. Like this 90 lbs twink is supposed to punch and throw dudes around, I mean c'mon.
>>71873607
I'm more annoyed that they chose an asian chestlet to play a Greek sex bomb ninja.
>>71873607
She's actually a trained martial artist in real life.
Getting skinny is not hard, literally just eat less
Now bulking, that's hard
>>71873421
growing that kind of hair back = several years
regaining bale's weight loss = a few months
ahem, retard?
>>71873726
Bulking is easy when you have access to pharma grade roids and personal trainers.
oh god he looks fucking disgusting. His wife/gf/sidechick must hate whatever movie he's doing this for.
>>71873960
The Machinist came out years ago, what the fuck are you squealing about?
>>71873685
Yeah against other 90 lbs girls. Do you know how weak women are compared to men? Not trying to tip my fedora, it's just true, they're like children. And you can tell by her pictures that she has no muscle mass, so any average guy could overpower her easily.
>>7187994
doesn't matter,bro. He still looks nasty af.
>>71873778
This.
Its still impressive. But that transformation is literally not naturally possible.
When your full time job is to eat and train as much as possible you're pretty easy going.
>>71873774
Oh yes and by that logic getting electrocuted is easier as long as you recover in under 4 weeks.
>>71873360
Virginia Hey kept her head, and eyebrows, shaved down to the skin for nearly 4 years for the role of Zhaan in Farscape.
She also spent hours in the make-up chair every day getting completely covered in blue paint. After a while this affected her kidneys to the point of agony and eventually they broke, and her doctor insisted she be written out of the show.
>>71874553
And just so you can see what she gave up, this is Hey in Mad Max with full hair.
Depending on the thespian, method-acting is GOAT
>>71872351
I never got this pic.
Was the machine gun CGI'd?
He trained pretty hard for John Wick and John Wick 2.
>putting Jlaw in the same breath as Bale
>>71872089
Bale went crazy for that role, in fact he wanted to lose even more weight and they had to tell him to stop.
>>71874553
Just read up on that, sounds like pure idiocy on her behalf and the studio.
I'm 100% positive they could have gone with make up that wasn't going to kill her. Even if it somehow didn't look the same (Something I'm not convinced of) she was a PLANT so her changing colors could have been explained in 1 of 2,498 different ways.
For Bronson, Tom Hardy put on 42 pounds of bulk
He made similar transformations for Bane and whoever he played in Warrior
>>71876473
Yeah, it could be an overreaction, there must've been other options.
Hey has said that she missed her hair and that was also a factor in the decision to leave, so she obviously wasn't forced out.
She still made a huge sacrifice for that role, gave more than any other actor I can think of.
>>71874553
This makes me sad
>>71872089
Charlize Theron in Monster
>>71872089
As opposed to GalGadot can't even put on weight for Wonder Woman. Fucking Hollyjew and their your shape isok actresses.
Wow, stop eating, such a dedication.
Fucking Americans.
>>71874553
>once the studio killed her 2 kidneys they get rid of her

It was a mutual decision and she left on great terms.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/farscape/interviews/virginiahey2/page8.shtml
>I always hate it when people use that term, "written out." Zhaan wasn't actually written out, I requested to leave because the make-up was making me very sick.
>I had to lie to a lot of people at conventions when they said "Is Zhaan really dead, and is she coming back?" I had to say "Look, I don't know", and all the time I knew we'd arranged to have Zhaan visit anything up to six visits per season.
>So Zhaan was never really intended to go permanently, it's just that I couldn't be Zhaan every day because the make-up was hurting me.
>>71877368
Excellent? Yes. Dedicated? No. Besides her not wanting to be a film actress, she didn't really sacrifice much else.
>>71877488
Learn more about this film and Dreyer. He was literally torturing her during filming.

The dude bulks, cuts and loses like a madman, though... compare him to actresses like JLaw and Gaydot and he totally blows them out of the water. I remember seeing JLaw in First Class and thinking she wasn't so bad, but she definitely gained since and bitched about the makeup. Gaydot probably put on like 5lb of muscle with a fuckton of resources. There's no excuse when you look at what Bale has done.

At the age of 18 Jennifer Jason Leigh, who's also in the Machinist got down to 86 pounds to play an anorexic in a TV movie called The Best Little Girl in the World.
