8. Matt Damon – Courage Under Fire
Via moviepilot.com
The 1996 film Courage Under Fire was a tremendous dramatic film. The list of actors, from Denzel Washington to Meg Ryan, helped make up this phenomenal cast. One of those key cast members was a young Matt Damon. Back in 1996 and before he made a name for himself in Good Will Hunting(1997), Damon was just an up-and-comer. In Courage Under Fire, Damon was playing a character haunted by the dramatic events during a battle. In order to fill the shoes of his troubled and tormented character, Damon lost 40 pounds. It was a tough task for him, and he later confided that the weight loss was very difficult to rebound from and threw his metabolism completely off. Damon has seemingly shook off any of those issues starring as Jason Bourne in classic film, The Bourne Identity.
