Ben Stiller built some muscles for Tropic Thunder

There are some actors out there who are simply in the profession to make a living.  And just like in any other job they do what they have to in order to keep their jobs but they don’t do much else.   It’s a sad truth but it’s reality.  Not all celebrities really try or even care about what they do.

However, there are those actors that are methodical and work their asses off every single day at their craft.  It’s these actors we appreciate.  It’s these people we know actually earn some of their paychecks.

One example of this kind of dedication is the body transformation.  Rarely do we see bad actors transform their bodies to large extents for a role.  Here are 20 that have done so quite well….

Russell Crowe gained 63lbs for Body of Lies

Jake Gyllenhaal gained 25lbs of muscle for Jarhead

George Clooney gained 30lbs of fat for Syriana

Christian Bale packed on quite a bit of muscle of Batman Begins

Linda Hamilton toned up really well for Terminator 2

Hilary Swank put on a lot of muscle of Million Dollar Baby
