The “Magic Mike” actor famously lost a bunch of weight he could ill afford to lose to play a noble drug dealer in “Dallas Buyers Club,” the based-on-a-true-story of cowboy Ron Woodroof, who embarks on a quest in 1986 to find, smuggle and distribute not-yet-approved HIV medication.

Jared Leto portrays an HIV-positive cross-dressing prostitute who becomes Woodroof’s friend and partner in the illegal drug ring. Jennifer Garner co-stars as a doctor who treats AIDS patients, and maybe falls in love with one, too. 

Focus Features is releasing the Oscar-bait on Nov. 1.
