9 Action Movie Stars Who Are Tough Guys On-Screen but Cuddly in Real Life

Actors are total chameleons when it comes to their on-screen characters — whether it’s getting buff and tough for a superhero movie, or losing weight — they prove that they are fully committed at all times. In between filming, some of them let go and try to enjoy life to the fullest — just like we do. The most intimidating character the actors portray on screen can also turn into the cuddliest person in just a matter of months.

We at Bright Side know that it’s totally normal for our bodies to go through changes and we fully embrace them — check out how some of our favorite actors chose to do exactly the same and became a cuddlier version of themselves.

Hugh Jackman posted the picture on the right on Twitter with the caption “When people tell you ’you don’t look 50,’ part of you believes it ... until you see yourself sleeping.” Hugh shows us once again that we should never take ourselves too seriously and never forget to have fun along the way.

Which celebrity has had the biggest transformation? Do you prefer them as tough guys or are you more into the cuddly version?
