On-set pics reveal dramatic weight loss, the Christian Bale way

It's always a bit startling to see an actor known for his ripped physique (such as Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale) lose a lot of weight over a very short period of time.

However, when it's for art, it's also admirable.

Hugh Jackman is now in London, working on the new version of “Les Miserables.”

He might have a reputation of one of the strongest, most buffed actors around, but he's not afraid to alter his image drastically if that's what the role asks of him.

By clicking on the image above, you can see a photo of the Aussie looking particularly raggedy and emaciated, to the point where you can hardly see him as the same guy who, not long ago, looked like this.

The film will be out in theaters in December 2012. More photos are here.
