Sir Anthony Hopkins is one of the most beloved actors by audiences. At 85 years of age, he holds the Guinness World Record for being the actor who had won an Oscar at the oldest age, when at 83, he received the award for his performance in the film The Father. But that’s not the only thing Hopkins found at a mature age. His Colombian wife, Stella Arroyave, and he met when he was in his sixties. She brought a new energy that keeps him active and very happy.
81-year-old Martha Stewart got totally honest about her dating life, proving that we’re never too old to search for passion and romance. The entrepreneur also shared the 2 red flags to look out for in a potential partner, and her advice can be very useful.
There are things so strange that we find them really hard to believe, even though we are right in front of the evidence. We believe these phenomena to be more typical of fantasy or science fiction movies. In this particular case, we have compiled a series of suggestive “coincidences” that have occurred throughout recent history and that can astound anyone.
In 2021, Anthony Hopkins, at 83 years of age, broke an Academy record by becoming the oldest actor to win such an award. Today, there are a few artists in Hollywood who, like him, are still very active despite being older.
The road to fame is full of obstacles. The ability to overcome failures and not lose faith in oneself are essential qualities for any profession, including actors. Even extremely famous and Oscar-winning Hollywood stars faced many knockbacks at the beginning of their careers.
As our society becomes more inclusive, certain performers are becoming the flag bearers for their communities and helping us redefine what inclusion truly means. Disabled people have either been sorely underrepresented or misrepresented in the industry in the past, but the time has come for them to claim their place.
Being a successful artist, whether an actor, musician, or painter, is an accomplishment in itself. However, there are certain celebrities who didn’t want to stick with just one field and have proven to excel in several disciplines, extending their talent and demonstrating their sensitivity when it comes to learning new things.
Much of the magic of filmmaking lies in the makeup department, which is in charge of transforming our favorite actors into the roles we see on screen. Sometimes, they have to play a character much older than themselves, and over time we can see how well the makeup artists were on set.
Every year, film directors introduce new names to the world. And it seems that young and talented actors and actresses can outshine some of the brightest but not-as-young movie stars. However, some of these celebs can give their younger colleagues a run for their money, even after age 60.
The path to fame is never easy. The ability to deal with failure and not lose faith in yourself are very important qualities in any profession, and acting is not an exception. Even famous and Oscar-winning Hollywood stars had to deal with a lot of rejections at the beginning of their careers and they often saw doors close right in front of them.
When we watch movies, we don’t always know that in some scenes, the actors aren’t even acting but actually showing their true emotions. Sometimes directors make them feel certain emotions, and other times, things don’t go according to plan.
Time spares no one, and it flies by without us even noticing it. It happens all the time. However, just like with everything, there is always an exception to this rule. The following celebrities have managed to retain both grace and style while continuing to win the hearts of audiences and critics with their brilliant performances. Thus, they have shown us that it is possible to have a long and prolific acting career despite the age restrictions that often exist within the entertainment industry.
It’s not easy to ascend to the peaks of the Hollywood Hills and become a well-known celebrity. However, the path upward is open to everyone and you don’t necessarily have to be the most handsome to get there. On the contrary, actors who possess peculiar appearances and charisma tend to be the most memorable anyway.
Just like society in general, cinematography has been changing over the years, broadening its horizons and breaking stereotypes. The roles that used to be written for men only, can now be played by the representatives of both genders. Wild West conquerors, soldiers, bankers, and even war robots — these and many other images have already lost their gender inclinations. However, there are still many hot debates about which gender does better in certain roles.
Life is often a series of amazing coincidences and inexplicable contradictions. In The Simpsons, Mr. Burns gave monkeys typewriters hoping that they would write a masterpiece. And it turns out that there is a chance it could happen, even though it’s really small. And no matter how far celebrities seem to be from us, they live by the same laws of physics as we do: they deal with weird coincidences and suffer from strange phobias.
For some reason, there’s an opinion in Hollywood that only youth is appreciated and that after reaching a certain age, actors stop appearing in movies. And this is considered to be especially true for women. But talent doesn’t depend on age and this was proven by many celebrities who have left their younger years far behind, but who never lost their charisma and charm. And the passing years bring the necessary experience and wisdom that help them deal better with difficult roles.
Not every actor will agree to play the role of a bad guy. That’s because there’s always a chance that viewers and directors will mistake their good performance for real life, forever labeling them as “that bad guy.” This is exactly what happened to some of the actors from our article — great performers who portrayed their characters in such a believable way that everyone around them forgot what they were like before.
In the particular world that Hollywood has become, some actors have managed to carve their own path to success by scoring a hit at the box office. Producers thought it’d be a great idea to release a sequel then, which may or may not be as successful as the original movie. But one thing is for sure: whenever the protagonists decided to play the same role again, they had to face the challenge of the passage of time. And some of them actually did quite well. Think about Anthony Hopkins, who played in Silence of the Lambs and then 10 years later, starred in Hannibal, looking a bit older, but always just as sophisticated as in the first movie.
We bet there’s no one in this world who don’t know who Keanu Reeves is. He’s played in almost 100 films and TV series. Some of them are broadcast on TV regularly and they’ve already become classics in the world of cinema (Speed, The Matrix, The Devil’s Advocate, and even John Wick.) But there are also works with Keanu that TV channels somehow don’t like even though they have an interesting plot, high ratings, and a lot of good reviews.
Life sometimes brings us strange surprises that are seemingly impossible to explain simply by referring to theories of probabilty. We at Bright Side never cease to be amazed by the coincidences that occur in this world which demonstrate just how unpredictable and mysterious it is.
Different movies appeal to different moods and personalities. You may like comedies or horror films, romantic movies or thrillers, but there are ones that do not really fall into any of these categories. These movies don’t make you laugh or cringe in fear — they motivate you, making you feel that you’re able to do anything at all if you set your mind to it.
