Her latest role sees her play Austrian Natascha Kampusch who was held in captivity for eight years, and Antonia Campbell-Hughes has certainly taken the job seriously.
The 30-year-old actress arrived at the film premiere of Frankenweenie on Wednesday night showing off a very gaunt and fragile figure.
Despite her drastic weight loss being down to method acting, Antonia opted against keeping her bony body covered up and instead appeared to be embracing it.
She arrived at the Odeon cinema in Leicester Square wearing a light blue sheer dress that exposed the majority of her skinny frame.
The floral pattern just about covered her modesty, but the see-through material displayed her protruding spine and pencil-thin arms.
Antonia opted to keep her blonde hair up and teamed the dress with nude heels, that looked extremely chunky compared to her skinny legs.
The Northern Irish actress is currently filming 3096, which centres around the kidnapping of Natascha and the eight years she spent away from the real world.
Antonia has clearly been doing some extreme dieting to prepare for the role in which she stars alongside Thure Lindhardt who plays kidnapper Wolfgang Priklopil.
The film has been entitled 3,096 after the number of days the young Austrian was held by Wolfgang.
The movie began shooting in Munich in May this year and will cover the time Natascha was held hostage from 1998 until her escape in 2006.
Being cast in the controversial biopic is Ms Campbell’s big break after picking up roles in the Jack Dee sitcom Lead Balloon and the Dublin-based movie Albert Nobbs
Amelia Pidgeon, ten, from London, has been selected to play the young Kampusch in the years leading up to her abduction.
Antonia joins a whole host of stars who have endured extreme dieting as part of method acting, with Matthew McConaughey currently doing the same thing.
The 42-year-old actor has lost a staggering 30lbs to play real-life AIDS victim Ron Woodroof in upcoming movie The Dallas Buyer's Club, and looked extremely gaunt on a recent family day out in Austin, Texas.
