The machinist

According to wikipedia, Christian Bale starved himself for over four months prior to filming The Machinist, as his character needed to look drastically thin. Allegedly his eating consisted of one cup of coffee and an apple or a can of tuna each day (approximately 275 calories). According to the DVD commentary, he lost 62 pounds (28 kg), reducing his body weight to 120 pounds (54.4 kg). Bale wanted to go down to 100 pounds (45.3 kg) but the filmmakers would not let him due to health concerns. With this site, anyone now has a chance to see how they'll look if they did the same! Weightmirror is a site that has this exclusive (aka "a sham" according to Paolo) weight-loss simulation technology automatically detects your face and body and simulates weight-loss. Try out this revolutionary technology completely for free by uploading your photo. Here's my before (left) and after (right): Pffftttt. Not much of a change.
