three actors who lost the most weight for a movie role. Number three is Matt Damon for the film Courage Under Fire. Now he claims to have lost 50 pounds for this role which is pretty insane. Number two, Joaquin Phoenix reported losing 53 pounds to play the Joker. Now I've always thought of Joaquin as kind of skinny but definitely when he portrayed the Joker he was like a rail thin and he actually said that this has been detrimental to his health and I always think it's a moral question if this is even a good practice for actors to do.

Number one this one, I mean he was nuts in this and it's a great film but it's definitely hinged on his performance losing 60 pounds for the mechanist it's Christian Bale.
