10 Actors Who Suffered for Their Art
5. Gary Oldman
Although we might be more used to seeing Gary Oldman playing Commissioner Gordon in the Batman series, he has an amazing career behind him too-one of his roles, as real-life punk Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy, required him to play an emaciated heroin addict. He lost a huge amount of weight, consisting on a diet of ”steamed fish and lots of melon.”, to properly portray the icon. And then he wound up hospitalised for his weight loss. Ouch.
