10+ Celebs Fans Didn't Recognize In These Movie Roles

Yes, believe it or not, that is Nicole Kidman from the movie The Hours.

She's missing so much! Her trademark blonde hair, her gorgeous, movie star face... she's totally and completely unrecognizable!

Oh yes, that is the gorgeous Marion Cotillard playing the iconic Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose.

The heavy makeup and her aging face make her totally unrecognizable. And it is great for the biopic.

Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder was one of the funniest characters of all time. The way he lost his mind constantly was downright hilarious.

And you'd never know it was him.

It was the role that got him an Oscar, and it may have been the role that ended his life. Heath Ledger as the Joker in the Dark Knight can be described in two words:

Terrifying and iconic.

Oh yes! Believe it or not, that was Emma Thompson, star of stage and screen, playing the bug-eyed, messy-haired Professor Trelawney in the Harry Potter series.

Wow, I had no idea!

Woah! That's Tilda Swinton? Wow, her role in The Grand Budapest Hotel makes her look totally unrecognizable!

Well, that was fun. Guess this will be the last time we hear from Tilda Swinton...

This role garnered her an Oscar. And it's not hard to see why.

Not only did she play a tortured and deep character in Monster, but the facial change she went through was totally jarring.

What? That's impossible!

It won't be the last time on this list that this happens...

What?

Yes, the second person who is unrecognizable because of blue makeup.

Yes, we know it's Jennifer Lawrence playing Mystique in X-Men because she received top billing, but if she didn't you wouldn't know it was her.

My god, he looks more like Dick Cheney than Dick Cheney does!

Seriously though, his portrayal of the ex-Vice President is the reason why Vice was so darn good.

He even got an Oscar nod for it.

Alright, Tilda Swinton, that's quite enough.

I don't care if you completely changed your look for Suspiria, I will no longer allow you to blow the minds of people reading this list.

An integral part of the Harry Potter series, Voldemort looked perfect in this series.

And, in fact, Ralph Fiennes did a great job portraying the Dark Lord... not that you would know it was him.
