Oscar-winning prosthetic makeup artist Kazu Hiro has been in the industry for over 30 years. He’s transformed Bradley Cooper, Gary Oldman, Charlize Theron and, most recently, Dwayne Johnson in “The Smashing Machine.”

This year, he was tasked with transforming Tom Cruise in “Digger,” in which Cruise plays a Texas oil tycoon.

No, Digger is an aged man with jowls, thinning hair, a disheveled appearance and a belly.
