Usually everything happens like this: they offer the role of a dream and in between times they notice that the hero should be a mountain of muscle, and not like you now. So here's 2 months for you, try to match. Then the star goes and spends the next two months without leaving the rocking chair. Everyone likes the result, so the actor tries to keep fit. And now no one remembers him without developed muscles and sunken cheeks. But not so long ago everything was different. We decided to remind you exactly how.
Ryan Gosling
Gosling was by no means a sex symbol all his life, but a tall, skinny boy who did not even know the way to the gym. But Hollywood did not leave him a choice - the directors saw him in the role of hero-lovers, and it is difficult to play this with a sunken chest. Ryan first showed his muscles to the world in the movie "This Stupid Love" and has retained its shape ever since.
Matthew Fox
The main star of Lost has never come across as a rocking or even someone familiar with strength training. But the enviable offer to play a serial killer made Fox reconsider his views on sports. He lost 18 kg and does not quit training anymore.
Criss Pratt
The chubby-cheeked Pratt has always been liked by the audience for its kind of simplicity and the image of a shirt-guy. However, the role in the film "Guardians of the Galaxy" demanded something completely different. In a very short time, Pratt managed to transform from a loose nerd to an aggressive macho. And all thanks to intense training.
Bradley Cooper
The role of the American sniper in the film of the same name by Clint Eastwood became a turning point for Cooper. Previously, he was already considered the sexiest person on the planet, at least according to People magazine, the shirt could not be taken off. But a sniper is a sniper, and now Bradley has turned into a real fighter of the US Navy, gained 20 kg of muscle mass and no longer wants to return to his old way of life.
Tom Hardy
Few doubted the physical form of Tom Hardy, all his roles were brutal to varying degrees. However, there is no limit to perfection, and for the film "Warrior" Hardy abandoned all business and devoted himself entirely to sports. 13 kilos of muscles and a stern expression on his face - with such wealth he came to the set of "Warrior".
Hugh Jackman
Hugh in recent years constantly monitored his physical form, the role of Wolverine did not allow him to relax. But the process was undermined by cancer, which was recently discovered in the actor. The nasal mass required urgent surgery and the muscles were gone. But Jackman amazed everyone when, literally a few months later, he was again a mountain of muscles.
Zac Efron
A cute kid from youth comedies, Zac Efron never seemed to grow up. But a new role in the revived TV series "Rescuers Malibu" did the impossible for him. And now we are no longer a slender young man, but a strong man who, even against the background of Dwayne Johnson, does not look so tiny.
Chris Evans
Another cute handsome man in our ranking decided to become a man by gaining muscle mass. Such requirements were dictated by the role of Captain America, which for the past several years has forced Chris not to leave the gym.
Chris Hemsforth
The famous Thor was not always a mountain-like warrior with pood fists. But a sports diet and a special set of exercises made him the way the crowd of fans fell in love with the actor. He values his muscles very much and advises to eat more protein and fruits so that the muscles do not break down.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Jellenhaal gained 13 kilograms of muscle mass in 2 months, training almost 6 hours a day. Whether it was worth it can be estimated from the photo. Jake was very impressive as a boxer in Lefty.
