If there is one thing that Matthew McConaughey does well, it's preparing for a role and going all out to make sure that he does his best. For example, while working on his role for the 2016 film, "Gold," the actor put himself through a lot of pain by putting on 45 pounds. He was playing businessman, Kenny Wells, and wanted to make sure that he looked the part (via CNN).

Unfortunately, the movie was a colossal failure, and the actor's hard work went down the drain. Not to mention the fact that it obviously took him many months of working out rather intensely to lose all that extra fat. In fact, McConaughey said that he was still trying to lose weight in 2019 (via Associated Press). He said, "It's been a while. I needed to get in shape. I wanted to. I was 220lbs in 'Gold', of which I still have a couple of things back here [on my back]."

The actor, according to The Guardian, also shaved his head for the film. The reviews were terrible, and no awards came the actor's way. He did manage to impress viewers with his performance in the 2013 film, "Dallas Buyers Club," for which he shed 50 pounds or so.
