For the sake of a role in a box-office film, Hollywood stars are ready to do anything. They take ballet lessons, learn to walk on glass, and even “change gender” at the director’s request. We decided to remember the actors and actresses who decided on this experiment.
In the film "Dallas Buyers Club" Jared Leto played a transvestite. For the role, the actor had to lose a lot of weight. As a reward for his strict diet, Leto received an Oscar for Supporting Actor.
Johnny Depp once starred in a film for free, out of respect for the director. It's about about the painting “Until Night Falls.” The actor appeared in the frame in the image of Marilyn Monroe. Another female image he tried it on in the film "Ed Wood"
We are used to seeing Jude Law most often in the image of a handsome heartthrob. The actor is so good-looking that the creators of the film “Wrath” decided to entrust him with the role of a supermodel. Jude tried on a little black dress, fishnet tights and bold makeup. This is exactly how we saw the fashion model Minx performed by him on the screen.
"Bond" Daniel Craig not only meets the most beautiful women, solves global problems and drives an Aston Martin, but also advocates for women's rights. In 2011, he appeared in a video that drew people's attention to the problems of domestic violence and gender discrimination.
Eddie Redmayne has tried on heels and wigs several times for different roles. But “The Danish Girl” turned out to be the most impressive.
Sometimes actors alone aren't enough leading role in the film. Thus, in the film “Such different twins"Adam Sandler played two characters at once - Jack and his twin sister Jill.
In the film “Salt,” Angelina Jolie appeared as a military man. Her character turned out to be so convincing that she was not recognized by Brad Pitt, who came to visit his beloved on the set.
Cate Blanchett brilliantly manages to transform into a variety of characters. Therefore, the directors boldly entrusted her with the role of Bob Dylan in the film “I'm Not There.”
The director of the film "The Matrix" and other stars.
Many by changing the shape of the nose or breast size. But for some that's not enough -
the site has selected the most discussed celebrity gender reassignment surgeries.
Bruce Jenner
Ex-husband Kris Jenner, Olympic decathlon champion, unexpectedly surprised everyone with his decision to change his gender. At first, journalists and Bruce’s children decided that he just wanted to rejuvenate a little, but then the former athlete removed his Adam’s apple and began active negotiations about gender reassignment surgery. In addition, he began taking hormones, which enlarged his breasts. A representative for Bruce Jenner told the press that Bruce, 65, had finally decided to live a little for himself.
Chaz Bono
Chastity Bono, the only daughter of singer Cher, was a woman until she was forty, but then decided to have sex reassignment surgery and turned into Chaz Bona. The operation in 2010 not only allowed Bono to fulfill his dream, but also made him famous person. Now Chaz Bono is a fairly popular LGBT advocate, writer and musician. He actively dates girls and plays sports to lose weight. Cher reacted extremely negatively to this act and stopped communicating with her daughter. Only last year the singer agreed to reconcile.
Andrey Pejic
Not so long ago, Andrej Pejic, whom the men's magazine FHM included in the list of the hundred most sexy women planets, changed gender. The famous fashion model of Serbian-Croatian origin also changed his name - now the attractive and in-demand model in the fashion world is called Andrea.
