12) Tom Hanks – Cast Away (2000)

Tom Hanks lost a tremendous amount of weight for the role of Chuck Noland in Cast Away. This was achieved by following an unhealthy diet stringently. Tom Hanks was on a crash diet where he intakes minimal amounts of food, accompanied by intense physical training. He lost around 50 pounds due to this extreme weight loss process. Although the transformation was essential for the role, rapid weight loss was draining for his body and needs constant monitoring by doctors so that his health is not affected in the process.
