Forest Whitaker – 80 Pounds
For his role as Idi Amin in 2006’s The Last King Of Scotland, Forest Whitaker’s large frame served him perfectly as the tyrannical former Ugandan president. It is said that he put on 70 pounds to play the character. He won an Oscar for his troubles, but after finishing the movie, he was determined to get back in shape.
Whitaker lost weight by adopting a vegetarian diet and also adding exercise to his routine. In terms of working out, he didn’t hit the gym as others did, opting for more lifestyle-oriented activities like hiking and martial arts. Over time, Whitaker lost more than he gained for playing Idi Amin.
