You're probably no stranger to the fact that movies and TV sometimes use a little ~enhancing~ to get actors into character. But sometimes the changes are so subtle, you may not actually notice them!
We've done some digging to find examples of when your fave shows and films have used a little artistic license to subtly change the way actors look. Here are some of the best ones:
1. In The Notebook, Ryan Gosling wore brown contact lenses to change the colour of his naturally blue eyes.
2. Reese Witherspoon wore a wig during the final scenes of Legally Blonde.
3. In Silicon Valley, you might've believed that Martin Starr's beard was all his own, but there were actually hairs added to it to make it appear a little longer.
4. In Fifty Shades of Grey, digital edits were made to Dakota Johnson's body to add in pubic hair.
5. To give her hair more (almost unattainable) volume, Kristen Stewart sported a hairpiece in the Twilight films.
6. Speaking of hair, could you tell that Sandra Bullock was wearing a wig in parts of Miss Congeniality?
7. Directors used a trick called forced perspective in the original Top Gun to make Tom Cruise appear taller.
8. If you loved Jeremy's arms in Tag, I'm sorry to burst your bubble! The actor had to have CGI arms in a scene because he'd actually broken his during filming.
9. You might've noticed that Meryl Streep's teeth looked a little different in Big Little Lies season two – that's because they were actually not hers.
10. Meryl isn't alone in changing her teeth for a movie. Amongst a whole host of other changes, you might've noticed Charlize Theron also had false teeth in in Monster.
11. Lena Headey used a body double for Cersei's walk of atonement in Game of Thrones.
12. You may not expect (I certainly didn't) that Billie Piper used a foot double during the filming of The Secret Diary of a Call Girl.
13. Tilda Swinton did an hour-long self-tanning session every day to transform herself into her Trainwreck character, Dianna.
14. During series six of Friends, Phoebe's hair was enhanced using extensions.
15. If you've ever looked twice at Nicole Kidman in The Hours, and tried to work out why she looks different, it's probably because you clocked her prosthetic nose.
16. Isla Fisher opted for a body double for her saucy scenes in The Wedding Crashers. She even used a hand double for the "crotch-feeling" scene with Vince Vaughn!
17. And finally, speaking of prosthetics, in The White Lotus, Theo James admitted to sporting a fake penis in his nude scenes.
