Charlize Theron — Supermodel to Monster

Charlize Theron gained 30 pounds, wore prosthetic teeth, and shaved her eyebrows to play serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster (2003), winning Best Actress at the Oscars. This transformation is 40% more complete than #5 Robert Pattinson's Batman shift because audience members did not recognize her. Before Monster, she was a beautiful action star in The Italian Job and Reindeer Games. After, she was an actress first. She followed with Mad Max: Fury Road ($375 million gross, 20% higher than The Batman's $770 million adjusted for inflation) and Atomic Blonde, proving beauty is a costume she controls.
