• She gained 50 pounds for her role in the comedy-drama film Tully (2018).

Charlize Theron is a South African and American actress who has received several accolades throughout her acting career, including an Academy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Golden Globe Award. She’s also one of the highest paid actresses in the world. Theron was named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine in 2016. The beautiful actress gained international fame in the 1990s, after starring in a few successful movies, such as The Devil’s Advocate (1997), Mighty Joe Young (1998), and The Cider House Rules (1999).

However, it’s no secret that she had numerous roles for which she had to adjust her body size, such as her role in Monster (2003) – a film that earned her a Silver Bear and Academy Award for Best Actress. Nonetheless, nothing compares to her transformation for the American comedy-drama film Tully (2018) in which she had to gain about 50 pounds for her role as Marlo.

Asked about her transformation, the actress said that “for the first time in my life I was eating so much processed foods and I drank way too much sugar. I remember having to set my alarm in the middle of the night in order to just maintain [her weight].” She had to eat cold macaroni and cheese during the night to maintain that weight.
