Steve Carell / Foxcatcher:
In 2014, Steve Carell underwent a significant transformation, transitioning from his well-known comedic roles to portraying the serious character of James du Pont in Foxcatcher. The key to his transformation? A substantial prosthetic nose that was expertly applied created a sickly appearance. In addition to the prosthetic nose, the makeup team added wrinkles, age spots, and other skin effects to achieve a complete and convincing makeover.
What’s truly remarkable about this transformation is that the makeup blended seamlessly with Carell’s features, making it nearly impossible to discern the prosthetic elements. Carell wore fake teeth to enhance his character’s authenticity further, demonstrating his dedication to nailing every aspect of his role. It’s a testament to the skill of the makeup artists and Carell’s commitment to his craft.
