Is there any movie in which the actor naturally aged and portrayed the younger and older version of character ? Not a prequel sequel thing. One movie. (lemm.ee)

It's not as impressive as some of the other projects mentioned here, but there was a one-year hiatus during the filming of Cast Away to allow Tom Hanks to lose all (and more) of the weight he had gained for the first part of the movie. His beard and tan were earned honestly during that time as well.

the percentage of body weight that Disney made Carrie Fisher lose to come back for the sequels put her at a much higher risk for dying the way she did.
