Natalie Portman – 20 Pounds

Now when you start off slim, it’s pretty difficult to shed even more weight. But the best actors and actresses will go to the ends of the earth for a role. So the waif-like Portman lost 20 pounds for her role as a ballerina in “Black Swan.”

Her role as Nina Sayers won her much international acclaim, but it wasn’t without its trials. The demanding role saw Portman follow a whole foods diet and ridiculous workout routine so that she could achieve the specific look for the role.
