Movie magic isn't just a saying, it's a real thing!

I mean, where else but a movie set can you enter as yourself and come out a completely

Actor transformations are a thing to behold, especially in the case of…

Charlize Theron in Monster Ever wonder what the stunning Charlize Theron

would look like if she were a man-hunting murderer?

Along with Theron's Oscar-winning performance, her makeup, prosthetics, and dedication to

the art of acting completely transformed her into the late serial killer Aileen Wuornos.

The actress donned a pair of crooked teeth and freckles and even put on weight for the

Audiences were floored by her transformation, and Stephen Holden of the New York Times said,

“Charlize Theron pulls off the year's most astounding screen makeover…”

And I'd have to agree with him on that one!

Cate Blanchett in Manifesto Actress Cate Blanchett blew movie-goers away

in 2015 with her performances in Manifesto.

In the film, she portrayed a whopping 13 personas!

In one role, she rocks a beanie and disheveled facial hair, and in another, she's covered

in tattoos and wears a short, chic brunette wig.

And knowing how beautiful and poised Blanchett is in real life, it's pretty shocking to

see her as a scruffy dude and other rough-around-the-edges types of characters.

Then again, as a truly gifted Oscar-winning actress, I'm not too surprised Blanchett

Bill Skarsgård in It Ah, yes, the 2017 horror flick that managed

to stir up that intense fear of clowns we all thought we'd finally gotten over 27

Anyway, who would've thought that the actor who was transformed into the nightmare-inducing

children-eating clown is actually a nice-looking young Swedish man by the name of Bill Skarsgård!

But along with the red wig and creepy yet colorful makeup, Pennywise's scariest feature

To create it, Skarsgård explained that he'd do a thing with his lip along with an off-putting

movement in his lazy eye to make “as much of a weird disturbing performance as possible”.

Almost makes you feel bad for all those birthday party clowns that couldn't get any work

after everyone had seen Skarsgård's performance!

Dan Stevens in Beauty and the Beast Actor Dan Stevens is anything but a beast

But with some good makeup artists and prosthetics, even someone as handsome as Stevens can morph

into a giant, broken-hearted, hairy creature stuck in a castle!

But makeup wasn't the only magic present in this 2017 film.

CGI is what took the Beast's look to the next level.

During filming, Stevens had to wear a heavy, bulky motion-capture suit to make him look

The actor told USA Today, “It's an ordeal for my calf muscles alone!”

But along with full-body shots in the suit, the actor also had to go into the special-effects

studio and recreate the same scenes but with just his facial features.

These facial-capture sessions would get close up on the actor's face, studying how he

But that hard work was obviously worth it, right?

Jacob Tremblay in Wonder At the time the movie Wonder was being made,

11-year-old actor Jacob Tremblay was already enduring what most grown-up actors consider

Being that the 2017 film is about a boy named Auggie who struggles to fit into the world

while dealing with the effects of Treacher Collins syndrome, the makeup and hair team

FX artist Arjen Tuiten (who, by the way, was also the talent behind Angelina Jolie's

Maleficent and some creatures in Pan's Labyrinth) worked his magic on Tremblay, completely transforming

In fact, Tremblay would endure an hour and a half in the makeup chair every morning.

But before the final look came to be, Tuiten and his team spent months testing and re-sculpting

the perfect look for the actor, including the hair, makeup and prosthetics.

Richard Brake in Game of Thrones If you were to put actor Richard Brake's

picture next to The Night King from the Game of Thrones, you'd bet money on them being

And that's why it's not all that surprising to learn that it took about 6 hours to transform

Add another 3 hours to take it all off after shooting is complete, and that's 9 hours

Man, and I thought I take forever to get ready every day…

Gary Oldman in Darkest Hour Do period dramas tend to make you fall asleep?

Well, that probably isn't the case in Darkest Hour, a 2017 biopic about Winston Churchill

You have to give it to the makeup team because they took an actor who really didn't resemble

the famous British prime minister and made Oldman look EXACTLY like Churchill!

According to Darkest Hour's twitter, it took an incredible amount of time for artist

Kazuhiro Tsuji to achieve the transformation.

That included 13 makeup tests, 48 consecutive shooting days, and 200 hours of Oldman sitting

Geeze, I feel tired just hearing about all that work!

Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad Who would've thought that such a sweet face

could turn into one of the most kooky, demented characters in the Suicide Squad!

If you recall, Margot Robbie was rocking bright-colored makeup and even brighter pigtails to play

the role of Harley Quinn in the 2016 film.

In an interview with The Washington Post's Comic Riffs, Robbie explained how tiring it

was to wear the costume on set every day.

She explained that the wig and the costume were hard to deal with, but her gold bangles

were actually the most uncomfortable since the spikes on them would stab her during action
