3. Ashton Kutcher - Jobs (2013)

5. Channing Tatum - The Eagle (2011)
When shooting an action film, the actor must have been prepared if for example he would experience injuries to his body considering the dangerous scenes he had to act.

This dedication was in vain after Chapter 27 failed to explode in the market.
7. John Travolta - Gotti (2018)
