Actors Who Went Through Extreme Body Transformation For a Role

Kit Harington, Pompeii

Kit Harington suffered from body dysmorphia (excessive anxiety about the appearance of one's body) while working out for this role. He said he became completely obsessed with it to the point where he was "going to the gym three times a day for six days a week." He suffered from a case of "exhaustion" and eventually his trainer stepped in to rein him in. But he said that he was "proud of what he achieved in the end".
