We all love to be at the top of our craft, and actors and actresses are no different. In this collection of snaps you can see those hard working screen stars before and after they made big changes to their bodies. Think about what it would be like to lose 50lbs to get a part, or gain 30. You can work out to get bigger muscles and toned, but losing and gaining weight is real work.

Christian Bale lost about 70lbs in 3 months for the Machinist

Charlie Sheen built muscles for Hot Shots! Part Deux

Russell Crowe gained 63lbs for Body of Lies

Jake Gyllenhaal gained 25lbs of muscle for Jarhead

Ben Stiller build some muscles for Tropic Thunder

George Clooney gained 30lbs of fat for Syriana

Linda Hamilton toned up really well for Terminator 2

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

Mr. Stallone put on about 40 lbs of fat for Copland

Tom Hanks lost about 50lbs for his movie Cast Away

Renee Zellweger gained a lot of weight for both Bridget Jones movies

Demi Moore gained muscle for G.I.Jane doing one arm pushups

Jessica Biel gained some really defined muscles for Blade Trinity

Matt Damon lost 40lbs for Courage Under Fire

Gerard Butler gained muscle for 300

Ed Norton (yeah the skinny dude) gained muscles for America History X

You probably know this woman. There are so many pictures of Victoria Beckham on internet today. But can you imagine how Posh Spice used to look like 19 years ago, before she became famous? It's very interesting.
