Actors Who Suffered For Their Biggest Roles

Gwyneth Paltrow, Shallow Hal

Shallow Hal has not stood the test of time very well, and Paltrow regrets having been a part of the problematic movie. Paltrow told Netflix that the movie was a “disaster.” She had never felt so shunned by society. 

"The first day I tried the fat suit on, I was in the Tribeca Grand and I walked through the lobby. It was so sad. It was so disturbing," she recalled. "No one would make eye contact with me because I was obese."

Mark Wahlberg, Boogie Nights

No one hates this movie more than Mark Wahlberg. The young star played the character of Dirk Diggler, an A-list adult film star. He was so embarrassed by the role that he has asked God to forgive him for it.

“I just always hope that God is a movie fan and also forgiving because I’ve made some poor choices in my past." He recalled in an interview, "Boogie Nights is up there at the top of the list."
