Matthew McConaughey joins Top 10 most shocking weight loss list (sad face)

Nooooooo (cont.) oooo…  Matthew McConaughey has shed his signature six-pack for new film The Wolf of Wall Street. This is NOT  good news (though good for the film thing one assumes).

Matthew McConaugh-wahey stepped out in New York City looking decidedly scrawny  - and got heatworld thinking, how many other stars have slimmed down or sized-up for films?

Is Matthew’s the most shocking picture to date? (In a word, no) Is it good for them?  (In another word, NO).

Take a look at our gallery of the MOST shocking celeb weight loss pics of all time below.

Then tuck into a mahusive sandwich, safe in the knowledge that Carol from accounts is never going to ask you to lose weight for that conference call at 5. Phew for Carol.

And mmm sandwiches.

The stars who've slimmed down (or sized up) for work:

Yup. The beefcake has dropped his beef (that sounds weird) and all in the name of a film - incidentally the film is called The Wolf of Wall Street for the film fact fans amongst you.
Humpf. Thankfully Leonardo DiCaprio is set to save the day, by baring all in said very same film.

Yeah that barely works but you get the idea. He's lost weight, and by weight, we mean the kind of muscles that feel like radiators (hot and rippling radiators).

Yup, even Colin's been at it. Slimming down for his role in Triage.
Sidenote: Colin doesn't sound all that sexy until you add a Farrell onto the end of it. Second sidenote: Nice of that lady to crack a smile for the camera... ahem.

Mila admits:

The actress said she felt "gross" after slimming down 98 pounds for her role in Black Swan.
"I would literally look at myself in the mirror and I was like: 'Oh my God! I had no shape, no boobs, no ass. All you saw was the bone. I was like 'this looks gross.'"

Renee famously put on weight for her role as Bridget Jones, saying after filming: "I had a panic attack with all the specialists talking about how bad this is for you, long term, putting on (and losing) weight in short periods of time and they're all saying, 'You must stop this now or you're going to die'."

Ahh Renee*

The actress looked stunning at the 2012 MET Ball, though we like her as Bridget, aka just the way you are. (NB that's a tenuous Bridget Jones quote, sorry)...

Hmm, Matt showed some courage - perhaps under fire - when he lost wait for the aforementioned film. But he definitely looks better with some meat on his bones... come this way...

Who looks like he had the appetite of a chipmuck to play the (slightly more serious) role of a shipwrecked man (hence the title) who befriended a coconut...
But Tom's a veritable silver fox nowadays, see...

Mmm T.HANKS Tom Hanks you ol' silver foxy fitty you
