It is easy to believe that all the celebrities do is acting in front of camera and getting paid. But the reality is something more than that. An actor has to take down various hurdles to get into the skin of a character, whether it be gaining or losing a lot of weight, prosthetic makeup, or donning a super itchy or uneasy dress. In the long history of cinema, it is witnessed that costumes have made the actors furious more than anything else in this whole world. And the unease can even push some actors to breaking point, causing them both physical and psychological harm. Here are 10 actors who struggled to portray the character due to their uneasy costume:
1. Amitabh Bachchan (Thugs of Hindustan): For his role in Thugs of Hindustan, Amitabh Bachchan expressed the toll wearing heavy costumes and prosthetics took on him. He revealed that he even had to go be under serious medical care due to neck issues caused by his heavy costume.
2. Oscar Isaaz (X-men): X-men not just gave some iconic action sequences but also delivered some tremendous superheroes with mind-blowing costumes but among the cast Apocalypse's costume took things too far. The multi-layered costume, caused Oscar Isaac to become super-hot underneath it and chilled water was poured on him to bring down his body temperature.
3. Vivek Oberoi (Krish-3): Krish 3 was one of the finest 3d movies Bollywood has ever seen. Playing the role of Kaal, Vivek had to step in the costume that weighs 28kgs but his problems increased, even more, when he had to work under the sun for lengthy hours with it on.
4. Aishwarya Rai Bachan (Jodha-Akbar: For the role of Jodha bai, Aishwarya had to wear extremely heavy lehengas that challenged not just body but also her mental health.
5. Rebecca Romijn (X-men): Rebecca Romijn went under the most radical transformations an actor can make to make their character shine brighter on the silver screen. It normally takes 8 to 9 hours for the make-up artists to do the elaborate and impressive look of Mystique.
6. Ron Pearlman (Hell Boy): Ron Pearlman is no stranger to uncomfortable costumes. Before he became the legendary comic book character Hellboy he played The Beast in the Beauty and Beast television series back in 1987.
7. Akshay Kumar (Robot 2.0): Robot 2.0 still holds the record of most expensive Bollywood movie ever. This movie exhibited Akshay Kumar in the most iconic villain roles that took along time to get ready. Akshay had to sit on his chair for more than 9-10 hours to get his makeup done.
8. Deepika Padukone (Padmaavat): Deepika took the acting level a notch higher with her performances in Padmaavat but it took a lot to reach that level.

9. Michelle Pfeiffer (cat-woman): To get dressed for her Catwoman costume, Michelle Pfeiffer mentioned that she had to be covered in talcum powder to slip into it, be vacuum-packed inside it, and then finally be silicon painted over it.
