Drew Barrymore is one of Hollywood’s most beloved actresses; she’s funny, down-to-earth, super talented, and incredibly beautiful. However, for the ’90s cult classic film, ‘Never Been Kissed’, she played a very unattractive and awkward Josie Gellar.
Josie Gellar was a nerdy reporter that decides to go back to high school and pose as a teenager to get the inside scoop on a story. This meant Barrymore was in awful clothes, terrible makeup and even a worse hairdo. But no need to worry, Barrymore is back to dating musicians and looking fabulous.
Shailene Woodley
California-born actress Shailene Woodley got her big break with her role in the 2014 film ‘The Fault in Our Stars’. Four years later, Woodley played Tami Oldham in 2018’s ‘Adrift’, and she looked very different from what audiences remembered.
Playing a woman that has been stranded at sea, she had to limit her diet to 350 calories a day, and even less for the last two weeks of filming. Even though her performance was amazing, Woodley said she was miserable and the experience took a toll on her. She looked very skinny and worn-down, but luckily she was able to gain some weight in a few weeks.
Charlize Theron
In what is perhaps one of Hollywood's most shocking transformations, the gorgeous South African actress, Charlize Theron, turned into a homeless killer for 'Monster'. She played the real-life American serial killer, Aileen Wuornos, and won an Oscar for Best Actress for her incredible performance.
Acclaimed movie director Roger Ebert claimed it was "one of the greatest performances in the history of the cinema". And we agree.
Kaitlin Olson
The hilarious Dee Reynolds is a drunk, rude, almost sociopathic leading character in 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'. But in reality, Kaitlin Olson is beautiful actress, who is far from a rude drunk.
Quite opposite from her raunchy appearance in the show, Olson can certainly clean up well for the red carpet.
Jennifer Lawrence
Blonde bombshell Jennifer Lawrence started her career in the early 2000s, mostly as a guest actress on shows like ‘Monk’ and ‘Medium’. However, it didn’t take this beautiful and talented actress long to climb her way up the Hollywood ladder.
Her breakthrough role came in 2010, when she played a poor teenager from the Ozarks in ‘Winter’s Bone’. Lawrence’s performance was incredible, but her looks were certainly shocking. The actress played the part perfectly, as she looks gritty, pale, and almost sickly throughout the movie.
