Wow! Matthew McConaughey Has Totally Transformed For His New Role

Matthew McConaughey is really committing to his new movie. Though it's not the first time he has completely transformed for a role (see: Dallas Buyers Club), he's never quite looked like this. The Oscar winner put on some weight, lost some hair, and got a new set of teeth (through the wonders of the hair and makeup department) to star in Gold, in which he plays a man who goes to the Indonesian jungle in search of, you guessed it, gold. The story is loosely based on the Bre-X mining scandal of 1993. Bryce Dallas Howard and Édgar Ramírez are also on the set, though they don't look nearly as crazy as McConaughey.

Here he is, folks.

This is a new look.

It's definitely . . . different.

Want a close-up?

No? How about even closer?

Here's Édgar Ramírez, looking great.

And Bryce Dallas Howard, looking very '80s for a '90s movie.

Literally cannot wait to see this.
