Films

Ariel, Mulan, Pocahontas — all of these characters have been familiar to us since childhood. We are so used to seeing them in a certain way, we don’t even notice the inaccuracies in their image. For example, Belle should’ve worn a giant powdered wig and Jasmine should be walking the streets with her head covered.

It seems that only yesterday we were watching great comedies and thrillers of the 2000s. And we loved the young and talented stars on the screen. Well, it’s been almost 20 years since then, and some of these actors are now Hollywood superstars, while others didn’t become as successful yet still remain in our hearts.

In the world of cinema, there are countless beauty standards, and the industry prefers hiring beautiful people with perfect smiles and faces. But not everyone is ready to change what nature gave them. There are many actors and actresses with unusual appearances that managed to build good careers and become idols for many people.

Wedding dresses are a timeless symbol of love and commitment, and finding the perfect dress for your own wedding day is often a dream come true. For celebrities, however, this fantasy can turn into a reality both on and off-screen. Let’s explore a list of our favorite artists who had the chance to wear bridal gowns more than once.

Beauty standards change as quickly as fashion trends. Not that long ago, thin eyebrows were super trendy, while today, we have totally different ideas of what’s pretty. These trends can be easily found in everyday celebrities who demonstrate perfect faces and smiles. However, there are some famous people who don’t care much about fashion trends and have opted for natural beauty and charisma. And their unusual appearance has helped them earn the love of viewers from all over the world.

Literature and cinema sometimes use very different methods to get the attention of the reader or the viewer. But even if we understand the concept, it is still really hard to not compare our favorite books to the films or series that were made based on it. And of course, we pay the most attention to the characters.

The screen version of a favorite book can disappoint a person greatly if the filmmakers decide to make significant changes to the plot. The impression from the movie can also be ruined by changing the appearance of characters: for example, when casting managers give the role to actors who don’t look like the book character they are playing and also don’t match them when it comes to age or appearance.

Some people spend the biggest part of their youth (and sometimes their whole life) trying to understand what profession they want to build their career in. But there are lucky ones who selected their path back as teenagers and even in childhood. We’re talking about young actors, of course. From their cradle days onward, they managed to unfold their talent and become famous.

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.

There are plenty of talented actors in Hollywood that are really attractive. It seems that even time can’t shake their charm and charisma because, over the years, many of them become even more attractive.

Even though there are dozens of different experts that work on the appearances of characters in movies, they aren’t immune to making mistakes. And in the end, viewers may catch these fails in makeup or costume choices that couldn’t have possibly existed during the time in which the movie was set.

Signing autographs, endless photoshoots, and receiving long-awaited awards are not what the ordinary life of an actor or actress consists of. Their reality is much more prosaic: actors adhere to strict diets or gain weight, learn new skills (that can be fun, or not), and oftentimes work in conditions that are far from comfortable.

While looking at old photos of celebrities, we can barely recognize future actors, singers, or models in those young faces. But now they have a lot of fans all over the world, and millions of boys and girls want to look like them.

If you’re the kind of person who likes to ponder the mysteries of human nature even whilst you’re relaxing, watching a detective film might be just the perfect pasttime.

To be an actor is to make the audience believe that the characters you play are as real as the audience is. But what’s more challenging is to portray a real-life figure that almost everyone around the globe knows. It can take an ocean of effort to find an actor who would be able to dive into the stories of a famous person and amaze us with their talents once more. And when these actors meet the right makeup professionals, we get to observe the wonderful magic of biopics.

Some actors and actresses are such good fits for their roles, we can hardly imagine anyone else in their place. All because they not only follow what the movie director says, but they also create the flick together with them — and they’re not scared to improvise.

The guys from this compilation have probably stolen more women’s hearts than anyone else. Right when they appeared on screen, they quickly got millions of fans and still have them today.

It is possible to write a book about how famous superheroes survived in the most extreme of situations, for example, Robinson Crusoe and Rambo. But are all of the methods they used really safe and effective?

Throughout its history, Disney has created amazing stories that have been by our side since our childhood. Many of their characters have become our favorites, and some of them are really close to our hearts. However, what you probably don’t know is that many of them were based on real people and in some cases, celebrities.

Sometimes we’re drawn to movie villains more than the main characters and psychologists have an explanation for this. When identifying ourselves with a negative character, the viewer gets a chance to explore their dark side without showing it in real life. Moreover, it’s even harder to resist such temptation when it comes to female villains — all because movie directors tend to invite “good girls” to play these roles.

Actors can do a lot to get a role: completely change their image, shave their heads, slim down, gain weight, and even change their gender. Bright Side made a list of 14 movies where actors skilfully portrayed people of a different gender.

Great characters require great actors to play them. But in a world like ours, full of amazing stories and talented artists, the perfect role might slip away. Sometimes it works out for the best, but there have been many cases in which actors seriously regretted their choices.

Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight book series, revealed what actors she would have preferred to see playing the main characters in the famous movie saga based on her books. Well, who can truly know better than the author what the handsome vampire, Edward Cullen, and his beloved Bella Swan should look like?

Science tells us that our facial bones actually continue changing shape and angles as we grow older. And when it comes to aging, no one can show us this transformation better than Hollywood legends who have continuously graced our screens for decades. But it seems that not all humans age equally. Because while some stars’ features mature over time, others become completely unrecognizable.
