Women ran from Vincent D’Onofrio after break-through role
Vincent D’Onofrio is best known for his breakout role as the overweight, mentally unstable Marine recruit Leonard in Full Metal Jacket (1987). To play the part, he gained 70–80 pounds and shaved his head—making him nearly unrecognizable. The transformation was so convincing that people, including women, often mistook him for being genuinely unintelligent, which affected how they treated him.
