8. Matt Damon

Matt Damon doesn’t need to be the star of the film to take his role seriously. In 1996, the little known actor lost 50 pounds to play a heroin addict hiding a shameful secret. Here’s the kicker: he’s only emaciated in one scene in the film. That didn’t stop the actor from dropping 50 pounds for the role, which won him critical acclaim. Years later, Damon added 30 pounds of fat to play a midwestern whistleblower in The Informant.
