Actresses who aren't afraid to change up their look for a role

We all probably have a favorite actress, one who captivates us every time we see them on screen. What makes them so great, though? Obviously, their acting skills play a big role in why we enjoy watching them, but there is more to it than that. You can tell how much an actress invested in her role by how far she was willing to go to bring her character to life. If the person she is portraying is supposed to be skeleton-thin, then an actress would have to go above and beyond to make it a reality.
There are countless actresses out there who really take things to the next level with their acting, which includes looking the part. Sometimes they will shave their heads, lose quite a bit of weight, or even gain some pounds. There are even actresses who completely transform themselves for a part. They do all of this so their character is believable and to make sure we enjoy every second of what we’re watching. Here are some actresses who did just that and we love them for their commitment to the their roles.

Though the storyline of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is dark and twisted, there is one thing about the film that is truly incredible, and that is the star actress. Rooney Mara is a strikingly beautiful woman, but in this particular movie, she becomes a gothic outcast who may just give you the creeps.

Mara was rightfully nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Lisbeth Salander. Though Meryl Streep obviously deserved both awards, we can’t help but feel Rooney was snubbed.
