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 \u201cfat suits\u201d that imitate a big body.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Here are some of the more memorable \u201cfat suit\u201d roles and the stars who wore them.\n\n\n\n</p><p><strong>1. Courteney Cox\n\n\n\n<p>According to the plot of the world\u2019s most beloved series \u201cFriends,\u201d Monica Geller was rather \u201cchonky\u201d as a child, so the actress had to wear the \u201cextra weight\u201d suit in several episodes. But those episodes became even more special thanks to Courteney\u2019s sacrifice.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/12%5C/Actors-Who-Rocked-The-Fat-Suits-01-1.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-80023\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Chris Hemsworth\n\n\n\n<p>While playing Thor the Thunderer, Chris Hemsworth was given an opportunity to change Odinson\u2019s 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.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/12%5C/Actors-Who-Rocked-The-Fat-Suits-2-1024x576.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-80025\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Gwyneth Paltrow\n\n\n\n<p>Gwyneth wore a 25 lbs bodysuit and a faceful of latex makeup on the set of the comedy \u201cShallow Hal,\u201d so it\u2019s even sadder that all her effort went into such a crappy movie.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/12%5C/Actors-Who-Rocked-The-Fat-Suits-3.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-80026\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Robin Williams\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs. Doubtfire is one of Robin\u2019s funnies and most wholesome roles. It\u2019s not every day you see a middle-aged man transforming into a nanny. Robin was not a slender man, but even with his build, he needed to bulk up. It wasn\u2019t just the face mask, but also a big bodysuit underneath.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/12%5C/Actors-Who-Rocked-The-Fat-Suits-4-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-80027\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/12%5C/Actors-Who-Rocked-The-Fat-Suits-4-2-1024x576.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-80028\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Amy Adams\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of her career, Amy Adams played a chubby student in Smallville\u2019s first season.

Martin Lawrence\n\n\n\n<p>When you hear about Martin Lawrence, the first movie that comes to mind is probably \u201cBig Momma\u2019s House,\u201d where he played an FBI agent impersonating an old lady. It wasn\u2019t an easy job, as Martin reportedly got a heat stroke due to wearing a heavy rubber suit. This incident put Lawrence in a coma for three days.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/12%5C/Actors-Who-Rocked-The-Fat-Suits-6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-80030\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Eddie Murphy\n\n\n\n<p>The Nutty Professor is a classic 90\u2019s comedy about an obese researcher who fell in love with a pretty girl and decided to lose some weight for her. The heavy suit was a real chore to wear for Eddie Murphy, but it wasn\u2019t as hard as playing seven different roles in this film at once.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/12%5C/Actors-Who-Rocked-The-Fat-Suits-7-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-80031\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/12%5C/Actors-Who-Rocked-The-Fat-Suits-7-2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-80032\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Tyra Banks\n\n\n\n<p>In 2005, as part of her show, Tyra Banks put on a fat suit to understand how overweight people feel. The answer is tired, hot, and sweaty.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/12%5C/Actors-Who-Rocked-The-Fat-Suits-8.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-80033\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. Mike Myers\n\n\n\n<p>The Austin Powers movies are notorious for being hysterical but let\u2019s not forget that Mike Myers plays so many different characters there, which is why Myers is no stranger to prosthetics and makeup.
