In a major departure from her usual glamorous persona, Hong Kong-based actress Karena Lam makes a stunning physical transformation for her role in Declared Legally Dead (Cantonese title Sei Yan Mou Hor Yi)

Vancouver-born Lam, 41, plays Shum Chi Ling, a frumpy and portly homemaker stricken with amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye. Her character in the Steve Yuen-helmed suspense thriller also suffers from mobility issues.
