SYRIANA: Official film Trailer

cindigirl wrote:I watched the Syriana CD just now and, I made the mistake of watching the torture scene and wouldn't recommend it for the faint of heart or stomach. Bad enough they were tearing Bob Baer's fingernails off but when I saw him fall from the chair I wanted to vomit. It's got a nice storyline (I think) but I would rather not see it again. JMO

NO PAIN, NO GAIN: Actors Who Have Undergone Extreme Body Changes For Films

Kirsten Acuna | Jul. 3, 2012,

Anne Hathaway shaved her head and dropped 16 pounds on a detox diet for upcoming film "Les Miserables."

"This diet makes me break out, so I love that," Hathaway joked to Allure. "Nothing like living on hummus and radishes and then be all, 'And I got a pimple. Yeah!'"

The actress also told "Chelsea Lately" she became a vegetarian for "The Dark Knight Rises," living off of kale and dust for training.

And "Ted" star Mark Wahlberg recently revealed to E! he was eating nonstop to gain weight for his new movie, appropriately titled, "Pain and Gain."

"I was eating 10 meals a day and drinking mass gainers," said Wahlberg. "I was drinking my own. I created this line of supplements with GNC."

Talk about excessive. However, Hathaway and Wahlberg aren't the only celebrities who have undergone extreme measures to gain and lose weight for a role.

Plenty of stars have endured grueling diets and workouts to be in tip top shape for their roles as superheroes, ballerinas, boxers and more.

George Clooney gained more than 30 pounds for his role in "Syriana."

George Clooney didn't enjoy packing on the pounds for his role as a CIA operative in 2005's "Syriana."

"There was nothing fun about it," said Clooney. "There was not a moment that was fun about shooting this film. That's not a slap on the film or (the director Stephen) Gaghan. It's just that everybody has that year where you age a decade and this was that one for me."

Co-star Matt Damon even said Clooney was so distraught with his inability to exercise he became depressed.

Afterward, the actor dramatically lost the weight and more for his role in "Michael Clayton." Clooney lost so much weight that his publicist was forced to announce the star wasn't ill.
