We could have a couple from the film but in 'Tropic Thunder' the real scene stealer has to go to Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise is barely recognisable as the insane movie producer.

Known for his boyish good looks and great physique, Tom is brilliant and hilarious as the producer who wants his film done right at any cost.

In the 2014 DC film 'S***ide Squad,' it's Cara Delevingne who plays The Enchantress: a villainess with magical abilities, and make up that would keep her off the cover of any fashion mag.

This British model / actress is truly beautiful and has all the fashion magazines fighting for her photo.

Oswald Cobblepot, aka The Penguin, is played by none other than Colin Farrell. As Robert Pattinson begins a new era of The Batman history, Colin Farrel starts a new generation of what we hope to be amazing rivals to the Dark Knight.

In the blockbuster new Batman film, the usually very handsome Colin Farrel is barely recognisable as a bloated and fearsome looking villain. He's normally so suave...

Mystique from the X-men is unrecognisable in her alien form and has been played by two stunning actresses throughout the film. Rebecca Romijn and Jennifer Lawrence.

American actress and ex model Rebecca starred in the original film series and truth be told she looks amazing in and out of make up.

She played the younger Mystique and again looked amazing as herself and the shapeshifting alien. There is simply nothing this sensational actress can't do. We simply love her.

In Marvel's 2014 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Karen Gillan plays Nebula - the half-cyborg sister of Gamora. Looking more like one of Dr Who’s enemies than partner.

In the 2012 Batman film, 'The Dark Knight Rises' you could never tell that the Hulking, bald Terrorist known as Bane is non other than the marvellous Tom Hardy.

This versatile actor is somewhat of a chameleon anyway, from his memorable performance as both Ronnie and Reggie Kray in the film legend to the Oscar nominated role of Trapper John Fitzgerald, in The Revenant.

After suffering at the hands of evil scientist Ajax (or should I say Francis), the merc with the mouth suffers genetic alterations after experimental attempts to cure his illness go terribly wrong. It's a vision of a Hollywood heartthrob, that made many want to look away.

Lovable actor, gin producer and football club owner, Ryan Reynolds, has melted our hearts over the years with his smooth looks and sense of humour but in Marvels Deadpool, he looked more like Freddy Kruger than a Hollywood heartthrob.

In the 2007 romantic fantasy adventure, 'Stardust' film this stunning actress plays Lamia, the evil witch. Its a lot of make up to make somebody so beautiful look so bad.

Michelle Pfeiffer: arguably one of the most beautiful women on the planet and a face many a school boy remember as Catwoman in 'Batman Returns'.
