From Johnny Depp To Daniel Radcliffe: You Won’t Believe Transformation Of These Celebrities For Movies

Johnny Depp is the King of Character Transformations, whether he’s playing Willy Wonka or Captain Jack Sparrow, he’s famed for his ability to immerse himself in another universe. That’s why, when we first watched the trailer for his upcoming film Black Mass, we weren’t sure it was him, since he plays Whitey Bulger, a violent gangster who turned sides and became an FBI informant.

Depp’s likeness to the real Whitey is really dead on, with slicked-back hair and a passion for aviators, and we can’t wait for the film’s September 2015 premiere. The all-star cast, which includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Dakota Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Adam Scott, and Juno Temple, is surely something to brag about. Given the film’s release date and the time of year, it’s worth noting that awards season is just around the corner.

Daniel Radcliffe discusses his preparation for the coveted role of ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic in the forthcoming biopic ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,’ which was co-written by Yankovic and directed by Eric Appel. “Wearing the Hawaiian shirt is a significant duty that I don’t take lightly,” the ‘Harry Potter’ star said in a recent interview, adding that he was “proud” to be portraying the singer on the big screen. “I’m honoured to finally share with the world Weird Al’s deviant and scandalous existence,” Radcliffe said. The 32-year-old actor recently debuted his metamorphosis, sporting the singer’s signature Hawaiian shirt, wavy brown hair, and a moustache,” and it appears Yankovic likes the portrayal, as he uploaded a photo of Radcliffe posing as him on social media with an accordion.
