Actor Russell Crowe has undergone a dramatic body transformation for his latest movie, “Unhinged,” in which he plays a psychotic man seeking revenge on a woman who honked at him in a fit of road rage.

Crowe appears almost unrecognizable in the film, with a significant increase in weight that appears to be achieved with a fat suit.

However, this isn’t the first time the actor has undergone such a physical transformation for a movie role.

In 2008, Crowe put on 63 pounds to play a CIA boss in Ridley Scott’s “Body of Lies,” a role which he found difficult due to the physical changes it required.

Speaking about the experience, Crowe said, “When I see my gut hanging between my legs, I don’t know what I was thinking. I’m not sure I’d do that again.”

Despite his previous aversion to such significant weight changes, Crowe chose to wear a bodysuit for his role in “Unhinged.”

Other actors, like Christian Bale, have also undergone dramatic transformations for their roles, but have done so by gaining weight naturally.

Bale is known for his incredible transformations from superhero buff to dangerously thin, and in 2017, when asked how he gained weight for his role in “Vice,” he replied, “I’ve just been eating a lot of pies.”

Crowe’s recent transformation is certainly drastic, with the actor almost unrecognizable in his new role. However, the physical changes are necessary for his portrayal of a violent and unstable character, and fans are eagerly anticipating the release of “Unhinged.”

The movie centers around Crowe’s character, who targets the woman who honked at him in a fit of road rage, and takes his revenge out on those closest to her.

The plot has been described as tense and unsettling, with Crowe delivering a powerful and disturbing performance.

Despite the controversy surrounding the use of bodysuits in movie transformations, it’s clear that actors like Crowe and Oldman continue to choose this option.

Perhaps this is due to the physical toll that gaining and losing significant amounts of weight can take on the body, or maybe it’s simply a matter of convenience.

Regardless of how actors choose to transform their bodies for movie roles, the end result is often a striking and powerful performance that captivates audiences.

Crowe’s latest transformation is no exception, and fans are eagerly anticipating the release of “Unhinged” to see the actor’s chilling performance for themselves.
