3. Taylor Kitsch
For his role in the critical maligned The Big Bang Club, Taylor Kitsch lost a huge amount of weight to play his chronically depressed character-“I tried to run at least 10 miles a day on fruit and coffee. Just barely any protein – I was ripped at the time, so I had to lose all the muscle.” He has also spoken about the emotional strain the role put on him, particularly towards the end of filming where his character had to break down completely.
