Reinventing oneself is second nature for most celebrities. Their remarkable transformation skills include mind-boggling makeovers and losing impressive amounts of weight. However, 2024 took it to another level!
From a Bollywood lover boy doing away with his all-American image, or a Hollywood superstar suddenly sporting a new appearance, such tampering of looks by these celebrities embarrassed fans.
Get ready to gasp as we present to you the Top 10 Shocking Celebrity Transformations You Won’t Believe. Strap on tight, this list is overflowing with drama, sparkle and lots of twists and turns!
1. Lady Gaga
It is still hard to believe that the Hollywood celebrity Lady Gaga’s transformation from pop star to Academy Award-winning actress. In contrast to her usual extravagant taste in clothes, Lady Gaga is no stranger to transformations in her music or her acting.
In the 2018 film, ‘A Star is born’ neither her appearance nor performance was the same as before the film’s release. She stepped away from the usual flamboyance and overt lune of makeup and dress style. Her rendition of the movie’s main theme song “Shallow” was one of the best things in the whole film. Of course, such success requires courage, self-confidence and obliteration of stage fright and performance anxiety.
When other actresses were rushing to charicy anchors, she was a bit tense instead. It was priceless for her to move her comfort zone and take a risk.
2. Adele
Adele has lost 100 pounds as a result of dietary changes and extensive weight development. The singer claims that at first she only planned to exercise to help manage anxiety, but the results exceeded what she expected. “I’m not shocked or even phased by [People],” she told Oprah Winfrey.
“Because my body has been objectified my entire career. I was body-positive then and I’m body-positive now. It’s not my job to validate how people feel about their bodies. I’m trying to sort my own life out.”
3. Farhan Akhtar
The image of Farhan Akhtar as an athlete never crossed our minds. To put it differently, it wasn’t easy; he had 6 hours of weight lifting for his training and of course, running as well as working on his run. We will not show you a comparison of Farhan’s weight as it was never the purpose of the team which trained Farhan. Post the training, he had 5% body fat. If this is not an aspiration, we do not know what can be.
4. Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus’s transition from the angelic Hannah Montana to the unruly and wild character disposition was almost instant. She decided to chop her beautiful hair and adopt a new short and tomboyish hairstyle. Additionally, she started dressing in less clothing, which was no longer associated with Disney but rather was more outrageous and daring.
Miley Cyrus’s radical changes in lifestyle were purposely intended to move away from the child artist tag and adopt a new, bold and thunderous character. Though some choices brought controversies and negative views about her, they also helped build her position and image within the entertainment world.
5. Chris Hemsworth
For his starring role in the action-packed blockbuster Thor. The loved celebrity Chris Hemsworth is said to have built up to 20 pounds of muscle due to excessive food intake. Chris Hemsworth’s dietary approach included high protein-source foods but also non-processed true carbs like fruits for the purpose of muscle recovery and slow muscle protein degradation.
He made sure that his vascular health and muscle recuperations were optimal by consuming a lot of fibre-optimal vegetables. He knew what to eat and incorporated quinoa into his diet on the grounds that it is more nutritious than rice which has a high carbohydrate content.
6. Kareena Kapoor
This transformation certainly stunned the whole of Bollywood and familiarised us with the idea of a zero-size figure. The biggest reason is that Bollywood celebrity Kareena Kapoor was infamously always the chubby actress. What shocked others more were her tools for the transformation; a balanced diet and power yoga. She still believes in being healthy if not skinny.
7. Ashish Chanchlani
Ashish Chanchlani, well known for his comedy skits and parodies, is a social media celebrity in India. With 17.2 million followers on Instagram, as well as 30 million subscribers on YouTube, He is one of the most-followed people in the country. Starting with 15 kgs of excess weight, he ultimately became quite an inspiration to many.
Recently, in the episode of Honestly Saying Podcast, he gave a brief background regarding what made him decide to transform himself. According to his description, collecting chips or fast food was part of his daily routine due to his lack of movement. He stated that he was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and high cholesterol. Ultimately, he narrated how one day, he got up, stared into the mirror, and decided to get fit.
8. Zendaya
The star of Dune revealed to her fans a new look with a shorter hairstyle posted on her Instagram Stories after the ‘little refresh’ that took place in August. Zendaya’s haircut resembled the one famously worn by Jennifer Aniston when playing ‘Rachel Green’ in the sitcom ‘Friends’.
9. Paul Rudd
In preparation for the Marvel film Ant-Man, celebrity Paul Rudd centred his life around health and fitness. He told People that he never “exercised harder than this for an extended amount of time.” the active actor managed to eliminate carbs and alcohol from his diet for almost a year. Rudd’s physical exercises were indeed quite vigorous which surrounded an approach of ‘flips and rolls’.
10. Nick Jonas
Cast in the breakout Jonas Brothers music group, Nick Jonas aka husband of our own Bollywood celebrity Priyanka Chopra underwent a significant fitness transformation. Starting off in a boy group, Jonas has reinvented himself into a solo artist who sings, cuts, jacks and has muscles.
Besides his musical success, he is perceived in the acting world for roles in films ‘Careful What You Wish For’, ‘Goat’ and in the television series ‘Kingdom’ – with whom he perfectly matched the body with hard work.

#10 The Last Breath (2024)
Ever since Jaws showed us how interesting a shark movie can be, there has not really been a ‘good’ shark-related film after it which is universally appreciated and leaves a gap or potential like we saw in Under Paris’s recent effort. The Last Breath is an entertaining movie that makes viewers think thrice before entering the water but includes an interesting twist in how it tells its shark attack story. The Last Breath follows a group of college friends on a scuba diving trip in the Caribbean. All goes well until the group decides to investigate a WWII wrecked ship and unbeknownst to them, they are trapped and being stalked by sharks.
It is interesting to note that in The Last Breath, the ocean becomes as much a villain as the sharks in this narrative. The main characters have to make the horrible decision of either drowning in the sunken maze of the ship or getting eaten by the sharks in the confrontation. However, it does make for a suspenseful underwater thriller though still not able to match the Jaws.
#9 Hot Frosty (2024)
When it comes to the Christmas period, Netflix’s catalogue has several good and cozy options that I feel will find their way to people as the familiar annual collection of Christmas rom-coms has already begun in the year 2024. But no other film will probably ever beating the outrageous concept of Hot Frosty. One of the stars Lacey Chabert portrays a widow called Cathy who is not so much of a fan of Christmas and her problems are consistently solved by turning a magic snowman into a hot nice guy.
The movie goes headfirst in this merry premise with Dustin Milligan portraying Jack Snowman providing both humor and charm in the role. Some other comedic actors who feature in the film are also very notable; for example, Craig Robinson plays the sheriff who is trying to get to the root of Jack’s mysterious activities. This creates a wonderful and amusing approach to the festivities.
#8 Return Of The King: The Fall And Rise Of Elvis Presley (2024)
There are many amazing music documentaries in the world today, but there is something special about Elvis Presley that has lasted for several decades and therefore any film of him is worth watching. Return of the King: The Fall and Rise of Elvis Presley is an account of an interesting and unique phase in Elvis’ career which transformed him into one of the biggest icons of world music.
The music-focused documentary looks at the era when Elvis’ music stopped resonating with the masses and he was slowly becoming well known as a family entertainer. But Elvis made an unforgettable comeback with an equally memorable television show which earned him the title ‘The King’. The interviews are interspersed with great footage of other legendary artists speaking about their love for Elvis, including Bruce Springsteen, and fans like Conan O’Brien.
#7 Close To You (2024)
After six years of absence from the big screen, Elliott Page comes back with a film called Close to You. Additionally, he made this film after transitioning into the character that he is today. Page returns home to celebrate his father’s birthday in Close to You. During the celebration, he encounters both his relatives and friends and learns how they feel about his decision to become a trans person.
The style of the film is intimate and very loose as if the viewer simply happens to be around the characters as they engage in highly spontaneous and unscripted chats. The page clearly portrays the private side of the ordeal in the film, answering many questions, criticisms or supportive comments which inevitably come in circumstances such as these.
#6 An Almost Christmas Story (2024)
For those still not prepared to settle down with the hour-and-a-half-long Christmas special can check out the shorter festive Christmas film which comes in the shape of An Almost Christmas Story. The animated movie depicts a young owl called Moon who is accidentally caught up in a tree chosen as the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree for the year. While finding his way around the big city, Moon meets and starts talking to a girl named Luna.
Although it is only a short film available on Disney+, there are some big names in the cast of An Almost Christmas Story. An and Two have co-written and directed the short film, David Lowery (The Green Knight) directed the film which was written in part by Alfonso Cuarón. It also features an incredible voice cast that includes Natasha Lyonne, John C. Reilly and Jim Gaffigan. It serves as a nice warm family Christmas collectible for viewers of all ages.
#5 Thelma (2024)
Thelma might be the most underappreciated film of the year; however, with it now streaming at home, new audiences should enjoy this delightful surprise. Oscar nominee June Squibb portrays Thelma, a widow who is swindled out of some money because of her goodness. Determined to show that she can function independently, she sets out to reclaim what was lost.
Although the movie may precisely be described as a revenge flick, it’s really about a woman who cherishes her life and aims to do all it takes to prove that she is not a liability. Squibb is wonderful in the lead role, and she manages to be funny, charming, and sweet all at the same time. Another great performance is given by the late Richard Roundtree as Thelma’s friend who is coerced into participating in the mission.
#4 Emilia Pérez (2024)
Every year, Netflix tries its level best to market one of its original films as an award-winning film during the award season. The film which seems to catch attention this time, and chances to sweep many nominations with it is the hyped musical titled Emilia Pérez. The main cast of the film Zoe Saldaña plays an unappreciated attorney bored of being at a dead-end and is approached by a powerful and dangerous drug kingpin named Emilia. The drug lord wants assistance in staging her death so that she can escape and fulfil her dreams.
The Emilia Pérez movie received a lot of positive reactions after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival where it also took home the Jury Prize award and Best Actress award which was awarded to the four main actors of the film; Saldana, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, and Adriana Paz. Mixing music with crimes has never been done before and Emilia Pérez will undoubtedly not only be one of the most talked-about films of the Fall season but will also grab a lot of attention.
#3 Transformers One (2024)
Transformers has had its fair share of highs and lows over the decades as a franchise, but one thing that stood out about Transformers One was the fact that it catered to older fans and was animated. It is a prequel depicting the events behind Optimus Prime and Megatron in their prime friendship, on a planet named Cybertron, yet again, something goes haywire and the friends get all angry at each other and split up because they have got a ‘calling’.
Transformers movie fans have waited a long time for the action to be set in Cybertron and for the Transformers characters rather than the humans taking centre stage. Transformers One feels like accomplishing both and, oddly enough, seems like a good tale about two close friends growing apart. The voice cast includes Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry and Scarlett Johansson.
#2 Twisters (2024)
Fresh in the theatres across America, once a blockbuster this summer season is ‘Twisters.’ This movie comes after a long gap of 1996 and this movie was stuck because of the constant change of directors. This movie has a new generation of cast which features Daisy Edgar Jones, and Glen Powell amongst others which definitely excites the audience.
The film is interesting as it nicely ties in with the previous one but brings new levels of destruction as well. Nevertheless, the cast earns the highest praise – actors Edgar-Jones and Powell are among the brightest rising stars of Hollywood including Meryl Streep. They easily make Twisters exceed the expectations of the audience when it comes to storm disasters, which is the whole point of the franchise.
#1 Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
After an explosive performance at the box office which followed up with great audience reception, Deadpool & Wolverine is one of the most desirable streaming releases this year. This is the third movie in the Deadpool trilogy, but the first that puts the Merc with the Mouth voiced by Ryan Reynolds in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As expected, Deadpool did not come to Disney of his own accord, as the film is a multiverse tale with the perfect narrator, Deadpool, and his co-star Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine pursuing their dual motivations to not get wiped out.
It is amazing to watch Reynolds and Jackman bring their characters to life in such blood-filled and laughter-packed light. There are a lot of great action sequences where Deadpool and Wolverine exchange some truly funny lines. Along with Reynolds and Jackman, the movie features plenty of Wolverine and Deadpool & Wolverine cameos which are always guaranteed to be the best moments in the MCU.
