Joaquin Phoenix – 52 lbs – Strict Vegetable-Based Diet

Joaquin Phoenix is widely perceived as one of the greatest actors of his generation. He has repeatedly shown his determination by putting his body through incredible changes for some of his roles. When he was cast for the protagonist role in the film, Joker, released in 2019, he had to lose some weight to fit the part. He lost 52 pounds by only eating raw or steamed vegetables. He went through this transformation with the guidance of a doctor. His efforts have certainly paid off as the film has amassed almost double its budget, earning about $96.2 million within its opening weekend, in the U.S.A.
