You Gain Some, You Lose Some

Russell Crowe has been telling PEOPLE about the joys of gaining 63 pounds for 'Body of Lies.' He's not the only star to choke down a few cheeseburgers - or abstain from them religiously - for a role.

Transformations

Russell Crowe: He claims: +63 lbs
Really? That's 63 lbs? We're not saying Russell Crowe looks great for his role in 'Body of Lies,' but we'd call that 25 at most.

Matt Damon: +20 or 30 lbs
The usually slim, handsome Damon packed on the pounds for his upcoming role as Mark Whitacre, an executive-turned-FBI informant. 'The Informant' comes out in 2009.

Charlize Theron: +30 lbs
It would take more than 30 to make the teensy Theron look fat, but the makeup and prosthetics really transformed her into serial killer Aileen Wuornos in 'Monster.'

Tobey Maguire: Lost weight
Tobey Maguire isn't actually small enough to portray a tiny jockey convincingly - so he shed a bunch of weight for his role in 'Seabiscuit,' getting down to a low of 137 pounds.

Universal / Getty Images

Tom Hanks: Lost weight
You'd never expect a guy stranded on an island for 5 years to look hale and hardy - so Tom Hanks dropped a bucket of bulk for his role in 'Cast Away.'

Jeremy Davies: Lost weight
Davies is always a trim fellow, but his part in 'Rescue Dawn' called for dramatic weight loss - it's the story of US soldiers held captive in Laos during the Vietnam War.

George Clooney: +35 lbs
George Clooney expanded his repertoire and waistline for the movie 'Syriana.' Honestly, the weight's not that bad... but the beard is horrible.

Warner Bros. / Getty Images

Jared Leto: +67 lbs
Leto gained a LOT to play Mark David Chapman, the assassin of John Lennon, in 'Chapter 27'... and pretty much no one saw the movie. That's a lot of wasted cheeseburgers.

Christian Bale: -63 lbs
We weep to think of what the weight loss for 'The Machinist' did to Bale's heart - and the fact that he started filming 'Batman' right after just boggles the mind.

Paramount Classics / Getty Images

Renee Zellweger: +25 lbs
Renee gained a cheerful sum for her role as "chubby" Londoner Bridget Jones. Many have said that she looks better - and healthier - with a little extra weight.

'Shopaholic' Looks Different Than the Book

posted: 3 DAYS 18 HOURS AGOcomments: 0

filed under: Movie News

Aside from the obvious divergences from Sophia Kinsella's novel 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' to the movie based on the book -- one is set in London with British characters, the other in New York City with American characters, there's something else about the trailer that suggests it varies from the original story.
