9 Actors Who Rocked The Fat Suits

Usually, actors have to adapt to the director’s requests because they must do whatever he tells them. Some celebrities have to lose or gain insane amounts of weight and then spend years recovering. Sometimes, however, directors will make it easier on their actors and give them the so-called “fat suits” that imitate a big body.

Here are some of the more memorable “fat suit” roles and the stars who wore them.

1. Courteney Cox

According to the plot of the world’s most beloved series “Friends,” Monica Geller was rather “chonky” as a child, so the actress had to wear the “extra weight” suit in several episodes. But those episodes became even more special thanks to Courteney’s sacrifice.

2. Chris Hemsworth

While playing Thor the Thunderer, Chris Hemsworth was given an opportunity to change Odinson’s image. To relay just how depressed Thor was after the Infinity War events, the actor had to wear a special 60 lbs suit every day of filming. But the workout was not as bad as the constant overheating. The fat Thor was amazing, though.

3. Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth wore a 25 lbs bodysuit and a faceful of latex makeup on the set of the comedy “Shallow Hal,” so it’s even sadder that all her effort went into such a crappy movie.
