Vijay Deverakonda, Shahid Kapoor To Chris Hemsworth, 8 Celebs Who Have Made Jaw-Dropping Transformations For Their Projects

Actors often give their 100% to their characters. Bringing a character to life isn’t an easy task, and it’s truly a testament to an actor’s skill to perfect it in different ways. Whether it’s mentally, emotionally, or physically, actors constantly challenge themselves to transform for their roles. From losing or gaining weight to getting a new haircut, some actor transformations are truly shocking. So, let’s take a look at some actors who have undergone extreme transformations for their films.

8 Actors Who Have Undergone Transformations For Their Projects

Aamir Khan

Well known as Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan underwent a remarkable transformation for Dangal. He not only lost weight and achieved a well-chiselled physique but also gained weight drastically to portray the older version of his character. It’s truly commendable how he went through two completely different physical transformations for a single role, pushing his body to its limits.

Vijay Deverakonda

The heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda is known for his on-screen charm. But for his upcoming film Kingdom, the actor adopted a buzz cut and has maintained it consistently. While he’s brought the buzz cut trend back in style, it’s impressive how long he has retained the look just to stay immersed in the character for months.

Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston personally transformed himself to embody Loki’s signature look in both seasons of the Loki series. Naturally a lighter, curly blonde, he dyed his hair a darker shade and grew it out, using gel to create the iconic, layered, and slightly spiky “Christmas tree” style. This look not only defined Loki visually but also mirrored the character’s evolution and maturity.
