After watching a movie, have you ever been left in awe when you see the credits rolling at the end of a film?

In the entertainment industry, many known actors have various transformations through each film. These actors have to play numerous roles, which range from young to old, good to bad, and even sometimes, transforming into aliens throughout the film. Thanks to the advancements in the field of prosthetics, it is now possible for actors to play almost any role. And sometimes it might just leave us surprised as we do not recognize actors until we have a look at the credits.

Here’s a list of famous A-list actors who successfully hid in their roles without getting noticed. Have a closer look! Would you be able to recognize them without help?
