Beautiful and flirty: 7 actors who played women. Photo

Actors often make sacrifices to play a role in a movie. For example, they gain or lose weight, cut their hair short, or agree to a "sex change." Not literally, of course. They put on dresses, wigs, and dye their hair.

Read OBOZREVATEL's article about the fantastic transformations of male actors who have depicted women perfectly.

1. Eddie Redmayne

The actor became famous all over the world after starring in the movie The Theory of Everything. A year later, Eddie surprised the audience even more with his transformation, playing the role of a transgender woman in the movie The Danish Girl.

It's a story about a man who at first played around with trying on the image of a woman but eventually decided to undergo sex reassignment surgery: he felt that the image of an elegant lady was more suitable for him from a psychological point of view.

2. John Travolta

In 2007, Travolta starred in the movie Hairspray as the protagonist's mother. The actor received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor for this performance.

John accepted the role because he loves musicals. He was not deterred by the fact that he would have to radically change his image for the movie.

3. Dustin Hoffman

Dustin "transformed" into a woman in the movie Tootsie. It's a romantic drama about an unemployed actor who is hired to shoot a TV series where the hero has to wear a dress and makeup. As a result, the rating of the series is growing rapidly, and the "actress" is photographed for fashion magazines. The hero likes this fame but he is afraid to admit that he is actually a man.

By the way, this movie was a success for Dustin, as it received 10 Oscar nominations.

4. Robin Williams

According to the plot of the movie Mrs. Doubtfire, the main character divorces his beloved. After the divorce, he can see his children only once a week. In order to keep in touch with his family, the man decides to transform himself into a nanny. He gets a job as a domestic worker for his wife, so he can see his kids every day.

Robin Williams won a Golden Globe for this role, and makeup artists were awarded an Oscar.

5. Adam Sandler

This is the only actor in the selection who played two roles in the film at once - male and female. We are talking about Jack and Jill. Adam managed to transform himself into a lady so well that people did not recognize him in makeup on the street. The actor spent hours practicing his feminine mannerisms. A mirror and memories of his sisters' behavior helped him with this.

6. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon

These actors played women in the legendary movie Some Like it Hot, which also starred Marilyn Monroe. Tony's image was particularly successful. At the beginning of his career, he worked in a fashion studio, which helped him a lot.

The most difficult task for both stars was walking in heels. So, at the end of each day of filming, the actors took off their shoes and dipped their feet in buckets of cold water to ease the pain at least a little.

7. Jared Leto

One of Jared's most successful roles is the one in Dallas Buyers Club. There, the actor played a drag queen who was diagnosed with AIDS. Doctors predicted that the character would have 30 days to live, but he managed to extend this period for many years.

For this role, the star lost 13 kg and did not stop being the character throughout the filming process. He even went shopping while wearing makeup.
