The Weeknd – The Nutty Professor

If this list has proven anything, 2020 was undeniably a year of transformations, and The Weeknd was not one to be left behind. The Weeknd is an artist known to push boundaries with his music. So, when he decided on a character representing a dramatic change in personality and appearance, it showed an intriguing parallel to his evolving artistry.

He decided to go the nostalgic route by transforming himself into the hilariously brilliant Sherman Klump from “The Nutty Professor.” The plump belly, impressive prosthetic makeup job, and the character’s unmistakable cheerful demeanor brought back memories of the iconic Eddie Murphy role.
