1. Lee Pace
In the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, Pace played the character of Ronan. Like Gillian’s transformation in the sequel, Pace had to sit for hours in makeup to play his character. Audiences may know Pace more for his role in the Hobbit movies, as Thranduil, another makeup-heavy role. In both movies, thankfully, he had little to do in the gym to prepare. It was all about the makeup.
