Movies can truly transform any actor into something new with unusual looks. And now it's Anne Hathaway's turn on such shocking transformation.

All for the movie adaptation of 'Les Miserables,' the 29-year-old young actress gave up her long brown curly hair and is also on a special diet. She is set to do the role of Fantine, the prostitute in the popular story who has tuberculosis.

There were paparazzi pictures taken of her getting out of a nightclub in London with very short and cropped hair. As for her special diet, her publicist shared to The Huffington Post that she is not to lose much weight and even gets to consume more than 500 calories for each day.

Other Celebrities Who Went The Extra Mile For Award Winning Roles

There are several actors and actresses who show how much they put their hard work into their craft by going so far as cutting their hair, or even losing too much weight, even when putting their health at risk.

Remember Christian Bale losing so much weight for his role in 'The Fighter' and 'The Machinist?' What about Natalie Portman dropping nine kilograms off her usual weight to play the lead in the award winning 'Black Swan?
