The Most Impressive Prosthetic Transformations For Hollywood's Biggest Movies

From Eddie Redmayne To Stephen Hawking

Eddie Redmayne plays a young Stephen Hawking in the movie The Theory of Everything. During the movie, the physical consequences of Hawking's motor neuron disease start to manifest, which meant that the makeup had to be changed several times.

The makeup team for the movie was led by Jan Swell, who is a master in makeup and prosthetics. She looked at images of Stephen Hawking as a child and as an adult to help them make a timeline of the changes he went through. She used different mouth and earpieces to show the many periods of his life in these looks.
