Keanu Reeves Transform Into Old Man 😲

But as he moves the airbrush up, he's adding a much more subtle change. You can see the difference between the bottom of the suit and the top part that he hasn't gotten to yet. What this spray paint does is give the suit texture, mimicking the undertones human skin naturally has and giving the appearance of tiny details like pores.

From a life cast picking up on an actor's defining features to sculpting subtle veins to mastering a jiggly stomach, a lot of effort goes into making the bodysuits actors wear look realistic.

Warning: Some spoilers ahead for "Bill & Ted Face the Music."

Bodysuits let actors go through physical transformations that they couldn't easily make on their own, from gaining weight to gaining muscle to being pregnant.

There are times when bodysuits don't need to be as detailed because they're covered in clothing, like this suit Kevin Yagher designed for Dana Carvey in an ultimately cut sequence from "The Master of Disguise."

But because Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter appear shirtless in "Bill & Ted Face the Music," both the muscle suits and fat bodysuit created for scenes where they meet future versions of themselves had to be incredibly detailed.

To make a bodysuit, you first have to get a life cast of an actor's entire torso.

Offscreen: This is the strangest profession there is.

Narrator: Keanu and Alex were covered in purple and green silicone rubbers. The green silicone has an oil in it that ensures it won't pull any of the actors' hairs out of their bodies. The two silicones adhere to each other and are then wrapped in a temporary plaster jacket to hold them together, which will eventually be replaced by a fiberglass shell.

That forms the mold that will shape the bodysuits. The fiberglass torso shell is laid up into the silicone impression, which then gets covered in clay for the sculpting part of the process.

This is the first stage where attention to every realistic detail is crucial, as the team sculpts every muscle and vein onto this mold.

Kevin Yagher: I just wanted to make sure it looked, at every angle, like if he lifted his arm or something, that everything was finished beautifully down here just as much as it was up here.

Narrator: In early design and Photoshop stages, Alex said he actually wanted the muscular Bill to look like a gorilla. Even if the suit's shape is over the top, the basic anatomy can still be convincing. Sculptor Carol Koch kept a model of the human anatomy in front of her as a reference while chipping away at the muscle suits.

Kevin says a common misconception is that when muscles bulge, the veins will too, but veins actually don't get that big.

Kevin: I would have them just keep making those veins subtle, more subtle. So they would just keep smoothing them out until I could barely see them, where they're there, but they didn't look, you know, like if they were worms.

And then when I come back with a painting, that also pops them up, so the combination of a nice sculpture with paint is what makes them look real.

Narrator: Once they've sculpted the shape of the bodysuits with all their details in clay, they make a mold of the clay suit using a thicker silicone, combine the life cast torso shell, and then inject foam latex into it. The outer layer of foam is removed and replaced with a skin-colored layer of silicone.

What about silicone makes it the right material for human skin?

Well, foam wrinkles easily, and silicone can soften those wrinkles. But more importantly, Kevin says, silicone absorbs light the same way human skin does, which goes a long way towards making the suits look real. But it isn't until after the suit is sealed and injected with yet more silicone that Kevin can start to paint details on the skin, as plain foam doesn't look very convincing as an outer skin layer.

The next thing to nail was skin tone. When trying to nail the color palette of the actors' skin, Kevin started with lighter shades to match Keanu and Alex's complexions.

But the prison scene in "Face the Music" was shot in New Orleans during July, when temperatures reached nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit. And the scene with the muscle suits was shot in a prison yard, so Kevin knew the actors would be spending a lot of time in the sun.
