The Dunphy kids from the show “Modern Family” are a diverse bunch. You had the little goofy Luke, the shallow and whiny Haley, and of course the highly competitive nerd, Alex. Alex constantly had her nose in the books and never cared about fashion. Actress Ariel Winter must have had a tough time playing such a plain geek because, in reality, she couldn’t be further from that.
No glasses and fabulous hair, the very glamorous “Modern Family” star seems more like her sister Haley in reality. Maybe Haley is more like Alex? Whatever the case, the casting seemed to work.
Lieutenant Jordan O’Neil (Demi Moore)
Everybody knows Demi Moore as the gorgeous model-like actress with dark and luscious long hair. But she temporarily parted ways with her signature look for her big 1997 role in the film "G.I. Jane."
Moore buffed up like crazy and even shaved her head, making her look like a really hardened trainee in the U.S. Navy Special Warfare Group. Ultimately, the film got some mixed reviews, but even after the criticism, Demi had no problem going back to her normal beautiful self. Demi Moore's performance was so memorable, that even Chris Rock referenced the transformation for the joke he made about Jada before he got slapped at the Oscars. Ouch!
Dren (Delphine Chanéac)
A young scientific couple involved in human cloning gets a little over-experimental one day and creates a human hybrid animal named Dren. Dren has a very strange appearance, with a bald head, alien eyes, and a long tail, this lab experiment of a creature looks, just wrong.
Clearly, there was some kind of CGI work done in post-production to create the eery impression that her eyes are abnormally far from one another. Thankfully the French actress behind the horrifying makeup and special effects, Delphine Chanéac looks 100% like a human being, and a beautiful human being at that! The actress is also, unsurprisingly, a model.
Suzanne Warren (Uzo Aduba)
We all loved "Crazy Eyes." Suzanne Warren, AKA Crazy Eyes was the brilliant yet emotionally unstable convict in the infamous Litchfield Prison in the show "Orange Is the New Black." Actress Uzo Aduba somehow transformed into this unique character, and it wasn't just the help of those Bantu knots, and scrubs, but rather, some masterful acting.
With the crazed look in her eye, Uzo becomes somehow both endearing and extremely unsettling to watch. In reality, the actress is a wildly talented woman who has nabbed awards for performances, appearing on more and more shows, and even starred in a broadway musical.
Dianna (Tilda Swinton)
She's done it again! Tilda Swinton has an interesting and Avant guard look, and with that comes many unique roles. But perhaps the strangest role she ever took on was the role in Amy Schumer's romantic comedy "Trainwreck." In the film, she played a shockingly conventional fashion editor, who quite honestly, could look like anybody.
But behind that conventional look, she was such a passive-aggressive, demanding boss for Schumer's character. That, in itself, was a transformation from Swinton. With her blond highlights and fake tan, this might be Swinton's most unusual role to date. Swinton looks completely unrecognized in this "normal" LA look (albeit with a British accent.)
