Not sure it's hard not to recognize Anne Hathaway
19 Actors Who Played Their Characters So Flawlessly, We Couldn’t Recognize Them in Other Movies
The job of an actor demands a lot of preparation and dedication. Some give so much of themselves while playing a specific role that the audience ends up associating them with a particular character throughout their careers. But, of course, the same thing happens to us. Who could’ve imagined, for example, that the actor who played the memorable Sirius Black in Harry Potter also played the role of Count Dracula? Or that the protagonist of Boys Don’t Cry is the same incredible boxer in Million Dollar Baby?
Here at Bright Side, we know that the examples are countless, but we’ve built a list of 19 fabulous artists who gave so much of themselves to the character they were interpreting to the extent that it was impossible to recognize them upon first glance in other roles. We can only thank the seventh art for allowing us to enjoy such magic. Just take a look!
1. Hilary Swank
2. Anne Hathaway
3. Madeline Brewer
4. Ralph Fiennes
5. Natalie Portman
6. Zoë Saldaña
7. Famke Janssen
8. Uma Thurman
9. Ryan Reynolds
10. Dakota Fanning
11. Robert Downey Jr.
12. Danny DeVito
13. Sigourney Weaver
14. James McAvoy
15. Jim Carrey
16. Alan Cumming
17. Gary Oldman
18. Tilda Swinton
19. Tom Cruise

With such huge amount of computer graphics it will be impossible to recognize anyone, not just Zoë Saldaña ?
