    there was some movie I read about where the actor had a heart attack walking through a doorway while filming, and the second half of the scene was shot much later after his recovery so he looks like he ages 10 years and loses 20 lbs as he walked through the door in the movie. can’t remember what film

    There’s the “Seven Up!” series by the BBC. They filmed a bunch of kids at age 7, and then again at 14, 21, 28, etc.

    The first was filmed in 1964 and 63 Up was filmed in 2019.

    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.
