45+ Times Actors Looked Exactly Like the Real Person They Were Playing
Biopics always put pressure on actors, as they try to imitate the real person’s mannerisms and quirks. It’s not just actors though, makeup artists are also in for a challenge. They need to somehow get one person to look exactly like someone else and that someone else is usually a famous face — so it’ll be obvious if they don’t get it right. These artists, though, understood the assignment and they absolutely nailed it!
Renée Zellweger as Judy Garland
Renée Zellweger is no stranger to changing her appearance for a role. She famously gained 30 pounds for Bridget Jones's Diary, lost it, and then gained it again for the sequel.
Therefore, no one was really surprised when Renée agreed to spend two hours a day in a makeup chair getting prosthetics, wigs, and contact lenses applied - all in order to play Judy Garland in the drama/musical Judy. Clearly, all those hours were worth it because Zellweger won an Oscar for the role.
