Forest Whitaker – 100 lb.
Forest Whitaker’s job is more than just showing up on set and reading his script for the day. He is undoubtedly one of Hollywood’s most dedicated performers, giving his everything to his roles. Consider his portrayal of Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland. Whitaker gained 50 to 70 pounds for the role (despite already being overweight) and even learned Swahili and how to play the accordion. Whitaker embraced a vegetarian diet after the film’s success, eliminating all soy and junk food. He also began exercising and quickly lost 100 pounds.
