Rachel McAdams

Some antagonists are so memorable that we love to hate them. These actors gave such brilliant performances as villains, it’s hard to distinguish their characters from who they are as people. But in real life, these actors are lovely and couldn’t be more different than the dark souls they play.

Harrison Ford is one of those actors who’s known and loved by multiple generations of movie-goers. It’s pretty much impossible to not know at least one of his iconic roles in movies, such as Indiana Jones or Blade Runner. However, the actor has proven many times that there’s much more to like about him than the roles he plays, from his efforts to help the planet to times he’s saved someone’s life off-screen.

The assumption that a woman should give birth to a child as early as possible belongs in the past. These days, becoming a mother at 30 is no longer something special. This is all because modern women have kids (their first, second, etc.) at even later ages.

Our favorite films and series have the power of taking us on a dreamlike journey over the span of a couple of hours or episodes. Yet we often forget that there are months of preparation behind the scenes of our favorite films. Sometimes the events that happen during the process of filmmaking are as astonishing or dramatic as the movie or show itself. And luckily, some actors are open to share them with us.

Actors embody different characters all the time. Some actors like to play someone they can see a part of themselves in. But these actors have played someone who is the complete opposite of them.Bright Side has compiled a list of actors who have portrayed characters that are the complete opposite of themselves.

Sometimes, the characters we see played on screen and the actors and actresses who bring them to life could not be more different. For example, between character and performer, the age difference is something very flexible — it is not uncommon to see adults acting as teenagers or teenagers playing adults in convincing roles. They make it clear that, when it comes to talent and dedication, age is just a number that does not hinder a prodigious performance.

Some teen films were the leap to success in the career of many actors. Especially if the roles they played were part of a cult movie. Even though years have passed and the actors are no longer the same age as when they played their characters, we could not imagine someone different playing the same role.

Celebrities don’t always agree when they get an offer to play a role from directors and producers. The reasons for this are different: some are afraid that viewers will find the movie boring, others don’t trust young directors and simply don’t see themselves in this role. For example, Charlize Theron didn’t want to play the mother of the main character in Wonder Woman because she considers herself too young for this role.

It might be difficult to imagine our favorite movie characters played by other actors. After all, it’s like the actors who eventually played the roles were always meant for them, and the directors probably didn’t even consider other artists for the part. However, looking for actors for movies isn’t that different from hiring employees at any other job. That’s why the difficulties of making a choice, as well as a lot of competition, are also present in the film industry.

It’s incredibly hard to imagine Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny Depp or Titanic without Leonardo DiCaprio — without them, these movies would’ve definitely lost their charm. As it turns out, some famous movies around the world could’ve lost actors that played iconic roles due to some ridiculous accidents that happened behind the scenes.

The 2000s was a time of mini-skirts, pink lip gloss, and flip phones. It’s quite easy to experience the history of those over-the-top years by getting lost in some of our favorite movies. And this is because movies that we avidly watched at the dawn of the twenty-first century have already become classic and now evoke nostalgia about those golden years that left a deep mark on our hearts.

There’s a chance that any of the big Hollywood names you know got to where they are today because they made the right call throughout their careers. But there is no doubt that one of the most important questions in any actor’s career is which roles to take and which ones to let pass by. After all, filming takes a lot of time and work, and they can only participate in a limited number of projects from year to year. They might look back and see that refusing to participate in a project was clearly the way to go, but we can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened if some of those actors would have taken those missed opportunities.

Every actor has a humble start. Many create a breakthrough as child artists, while some take their time, like Leo’s Titanic is usually considered his break-out movie, but it was actually What’s Eating Gilbert Grape that bestowed him more success in Hollywood. With Bruce Willis, who was reluctant to become an action star, he still took the risk to take the lead role in Die Hard.

The number of people who opt for watching the screen version of a book instead of reading it keeps growing and there is a reason for this: perfect acting, the work of directors and cameramen, and special effects can turn any plot into a spectacular show. At the same time, the opinion that reading the book first is the proper way to approach this scenario, is still there. Which side are you on?

The scene where Ryan Gosling’s and Rachel McAdams’s characters kiss in the rain is iconic. And that’s what a lot of people probably picture when they think about relationship goals. However, relationship experts say Allie and Noah’s love story is actually not a good example of what a normal couple should look like.

Many of us listen to exciting stories about love and say, ’That only happens in the movies,’ as reality is often much more simple and ordinary. Bright Side has prepared for you a selection of 14 movies about strong and pure love, all based on real events. Read, watch, enjoy.
