Let's get one thing straight: Ricky Gervais is an absolute jerk.

Acting is a strange trade.

By nature of the profession, an actor is supposed to don various masks, completely immerse themselves in a role to the point that they can convince audiences that they're someone else entirely, then discard it all as soon as the show or movie is done—only to start up again as a different character.

Many actors do this effortlessly, but others have dived too deep into their roles, losing touch with their real selves in the process. These actors have taken character acting a bit too far.

1. Joaquin Phoenix — Joker

Joaquin Phoenix confessed that preparing himself for Joker was no easy task. He lost 52 pounds in six months, which is incredibly dangerous, and he found himself fatigued and socially ostracized and on the verge of going "mad." Of course, the Joker is a famously destructive and all-consuming part. For his role as the Clown Prince of Crime in The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger locked himself in a hotel room for a month; and for the same role in Suicide Squad, Jared Leto adopted the Joker's twisted personality, sending bizarre gifts and playing strange pranks on the film's cast and crew.

Happy Birthday Beyoncé!

At 37, The Singer is as Hot as the Candles on Her Cake – Her 10 Best Looks

For Beyoncé, looking great is a piece of (birthday) cake!

If fans of Beyoncé need another excuse to celebrate the celeb, how 'bout a big birthday cheer for the never-better Bey? She's 37-years-old today, making music, "mini-mes," and millions.

Aside from her talent, we love how Beyoncé always looks beautiful. Her look is one-of-a-kind and her fashion sense is fierce. What better way to wish Queen Bey a happy Bey-day than to give a well-deserved shout out to her stellar style? Popdust's picks for Beyoncé's top 10 fashion moments will remind us all that 37 has never looked better.

Pregnant Princess

She may be known as Queen Bey, but this bronzed beauty was every bit a pregnant princess deserving of her ridiculously royal crown. Glowing with that mom-to-be radiance, Beyoncé was giving us a bedazzled bump that was far better than a disco ball.

A View from Behind

A train like this deserves a grand entrance. As Beyoncé climbs the red-carpeted stairs, all eyes are on her backside…but for good reason. That sheer dress with a train for days is a fashion moment we're glad we didn't miss. Talk about a caboose!

Here Comes the Beyoncé

Looking bridal and beautiful, this wedding gown inspired stage costume gives "I do" a whole new meaning. This dress may not be right for walking down the aisle, but when Bey's on stage, anything goes. "Put a ring on it?" Don't mind if we do.

Daisy Dukes

Sporty-meets-sexy when Beyoncé gives us legs for days and a sultry gaze. Yellow is perfect for the "Lemonade" singer who loves to balance out her sweet side with some sass.

Pause for a Flashback Video with Destiny's Child 

"Say My Name"

Wet and Wild

The "wet look" hairdo paired with an outfit that's as hot as the woman in it makes Beyoncé look every bit the total package. Hand on hip and standing tall, anyone can tell that "Sasha" is, indeed, fierce.

Lady in Lace

Another concert look that turned heads, this little lace number showed off all of Bey's curves in all the right places. Toned, trim, and taking us under her spell, we're living for this lady in lace.

How 'Bout Going APES**T?

"APES**T"

Dazzling and Daring

Here with her hubby, Beyoncé is bright and "blingy," showing lots of skin and tons of sparkle. While her man looks dapper, Bey steals the show with a mega-watt wardrobe and a smile to match.

Form-Fitted Fabulosity 

Posing for the paparazzi, Beyoncé looks like she was poured into this gown like a fine glass of wine. Every detail is pure perfection, from the sheen of the fabric to the intricate appliques. With a body like hers, any stylist would be silly not to dress this diva.

Lady in Red

Another pregnant pic of the dazzling diva. Here, she's not only showing off an impressive bump, but two awards to match. Like Dorothy's ruby red slippers, Beyoncé shows us why sequins and sparkle make any look lovelier. Always a winner, here Bey proves it with her well-deserved Grammys.

Ice, Ice, Baby

Feathers for fashion may not be an everyday look, but for Beyoncé, every moment is her time to shine. Looking cool in an ice blue gown, Bey gives us step-and-repeat style only she could pull off without a hitch. Bey in baby blue is simply the best.
