Depends on the actor and the role. And it's not always weight in the sense of fat. Putting on a bunch of muscle in a short time is also rough on the body.Do people actually gain weight in order to play roles? If you need a character who's overweight and for whatever reason are unable to cast an overweight person, couldn't you just use a fat suit? For example, that's what they did in Avengers: Endgame with Thor for the scenes in which the character had gained weight.
Agreed. I am trying to figure out where annual Love is coming from.The process of putting weight classes for actors into SAG rules would be hilarious.
Not to mention the toll that the pharmaceuticals required will take on their long term health. I am curious to see how long the charade that the transformations that actors make are possible naturally.Depends on the actor and the role. And it's not always weight in the sense of fat.

Robert de Niro for Raging Bull, Charlize Theron for Monster and Renée Zellweger for Bridget Jones' DiaryDo people actually gain weight in order to play roles?

Based on what law?Should it be illegal for actors and actresses,
to lose weight or gain weight for a movie role?
And make a whole lot less moneyThey could cast lesser known actors and actresses.

Christian Bale is best known for it. He's both lost and gained tremendous amounts of weight for various roles. For the Machinist he became skeletal weighing 120 lbs at the most. Then he beefed up to play Batman. Then he lost a bunch of weight to play a junkie. Then he gained a ton of weight to play Dick Cheney. And that's not all of the examples.Do people actually gain weight in order to play roles?

Though even Christian Bale has seemed to realize that drastically changing his weight is unwise. After he did Cheney, he said that he was thinking that he shouldn't do it any more.Christian Bale is best known for it. He's both lost and gained tremendous amounts of weight for various roles.

De Niro is valid. As would be Tom Hanks for Marooned. Start slim, get fatter or vice versa. You can't have two actors playing the same part. But if I was a casting director and was casting for someone who was playing a person who was fat, then I would cast a fat actor. Likewise slim for slim. Within reason.Robert de Niro for Raging Bull, Charlize Theron for Monster and Renée Zellweger for Bridget Jones' Diary
DeNiro did for Untouchables.Do people actually gain weight in order to play roles?

Maybe I should've phrased my question a little better. Do people gain weight for a role (I'm not talking muscle, I'm talking just plain gaining weight) nowadays? The Untouchables was made more than 30 years ago.DeNiro did for Untouchables.
Christian Bale gained 40 pounds for Vice only 4 years ago and which was the same yeah Charlize Theron put on 50 pounds for Tully. This yeah Mark Wahlberg put on like 30 pounds for Father Stu. And that leaves aside all the people who are putting on a ton of muscle, which again is dangerous if you do it too quickly.Maybe I should've phrased my question a little better.

By nowadaysdo you mean this year, the last couple of years or what?Maybe I should've phrased my question a little better. Do people gain weight for a role (I'm not talking muscle, I'm talking just plain gaining weight) nowadays? The Untouchables was made more than 30 years ago.
It is not possible to gain a lot of muscle in a short period of time without using methods such as black market injections and steroids. And yes, it is dangerous because the muscles grow too quickly, the new muscle is actually weak, and the fibers are easily torn under stress. The 'roid muscle is basically baby soft and not conditioned as natural muscles are, so they have a much higher chance of serious injury, such as torn ligaments and tendons. Very painful and requires surgery to fix.Christian Bale gained 40 pounds for Vice only 4 years ago and which was the same yeah Charlize Theron put on 50 pounds for Tully.
