Glad you included Christian Bale in The Machinist. I was going to mention that one, had you not done so.

Surprised you didn't use rapper 50 cent. He looked worse than Christian Bale when he lost a bunch of weight to play a football player cancer victim in a movie.
I think what is interesting is how you can bulk yourself up but most people can't naturally stay that way without working out like a beast everyday.

Absolutely. The bounce back for Batman was equally amazing.
I read somewhere that he wanted to lose even more weight for The Machinist but was not allowed due to health concerns.

Michael B Jordan's transformation to hulking super hero in Black Panther and Apollo Creed, Jr is pretty impressive from being the scrawny kid Wallace on HBO's wire.

I too read the OP title and had to see if The Machinist was on the list.
Bale ate an apple and a can of tuna a day to get there, losing 62 pounds for the role.
After, he had 6 months to get the weight back for Batman Begins... he gained 100 pounds and then was told to lose 20... LOL
Crazy what some will do for their craft, but you have to admire the sheer willpower it took.

It may just be from my perspective that losing weight is more impressive than gaining weight.
I can gain weight just looking at a pizza, after all.
It's a woman thing maybe?

It is easy if you are getting paid millions of dollars and have access to personal chefs / trainers.

Not so much gaining weight, but gaining muscle mass.... I do agree that losing weight is harder though. Lack of food / eating would drive me crazy.
A lot of these actors who maintain perfect bodies do so by having pretty rigid meal plans and trainers. Sounds like a miserable existence imho.
Who knew he could be a hot Asian chick
