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.

Decades have passed since the heyday of the hit TV show Charmed, which captivated audiences with its blend of magic, sisterhood, and supernatural adventures. During its run, the actors were some of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. Now, with time marching on, it's fascinating to revisit these celebs and see how they've evolved over the years.

The history of cinematography contains many movies dedicated not to some abstract time period but to certain historical epochs. Such flicks challenge their creators because it’s expected that they will be historically accurate, especially when it comes to costumes. If characters’ outfits end up having any small mistakes on them, viewers won’t be able to fully lose themselves in the atmosphere of the time, and they’ll likely leave negative feedback after watching the film.

It seems that some of the films and TV series we loved as children are now decades old. Think of The NeverEnding Story, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, or even Baywatch. And of course, the young actors that played child roles in these have grown up significantly. For example, Jonathan Lipnicki, the child star of Jerry Maguire, is already 30 years old, and Noah Hathaway, who is remembered for his performance as Atreyu in The NeverEnding Story, will turn 50 in November 2021. Even Georgie Henley, aka Lucy in The Chronicles of Narnia is now 25!

Stepping into the shoes of a character can be a tremendously complex process. Sometimes it requires lots of time to study and prepare for the role. But when actors take part in films based on real events and have to play real people, things can get even harder. They’re no longer free to play a character in whichever way they see fit; they have to be as close as possible to an individual with actual personality, flaws, and qualities, and who lived at a specific moment in history.

Illustrator Andrew Tarusov draws famous cartoon characters in a pin-up style. In his works, the artist keeps the original images of the characters while turning them into hot beauties that seem to have walked straight out of a fashion magazine.

In the world of Disney, everything goes the usual way — a beautiful princess can’t wait to meet her prince on a white horse, and the prince himself is ready to do anything to finally get to the love of his life. But artist TT Bret decided to challenge this order of things and make some cartoon characters switch their genders. She shared the results on her page “Let There Be Doodles,” and we can’t wait to show them to you.

There are many ways to get a starring role. Some actors are selected during castings, while others are invited due to their popularity, which is what happened to Kate Winslet after Titanic. But not all auditions end successfully, or actors may not agree to offers made by film directors or producers. For example, Russell Crowe refused to star in Lord of the Rings because his intuition told him so.

Game of Thrones undeniably became a popular and captivating series, capturing the attention of an entire generation. Emilia Clarke, who portrayed the iconic character Daenerys Targaryen, experienced both the benefits and drawbacks of her role. While her portrayal brought her widespread recognition and success, it also brought to light a flaw in her character that she hadn’t been aware of before joining the fantasy series.

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.

Hollywood has presented us with many legendary onscreen romances like the ones between Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler from Gone With the Wind, Jack and Rose from Titanic, Joel Barish and Clementine Kruczynski from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and many more. But not all actors are capable of emoting truly strong feelings and making us believe that they love their on-screen partner with all their heart. And there are several reasons for this: actors could hate each other in real life, they might not consider their partners attractive enough, or they might simply be bad at acting.

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.

In movies from the ’60s, the trend was to use pasta, mainly spaghetti, for scenes that included some type of lunch or dinner because it was easy to make and stayed in good condition on the plate for quite some time. But like other things, movie food has also evolved in recent years, creating a whole gastronomic underworld around it, which, in addition to chefs, also includes specialized photographers and culinary stylists.

The confirmation of the Harry Potter TV series by David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros Discovery, has sent shockwaves of excitement throughout the wizarding world. This highly-anticipated series is set to be a cornerstone of the newly rebranded streaming service, Max, which seamlessly merges the worlds of HBO Max and Discovery+. As fans prepare for this magical journey, there are several intriguing aspects to consider.One of the most captivating aspects of this series is the promise of a fresh cast. While the original film actors will forever hold a special place in the hearts of fans, the opportunity to see new faces take on the roles of Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the rest of the magical ensemble is an exciting prospect. It opens up endless possibilities for fresh interpretations of these beloved characters, sparking speculation and debates among fans about who might step into the wizarding shoes of the iconic trio.J.K. Rowling’s involvement as an executive producer adds an extra layer of authenticity to the series. Her deep connection to the Wizarding World and her intimate knowledge of the characters and their journeys make her a valuable guide in ensuring that this adaptation remains faithful to the spirit and essence of the original books. Rowling’s dedication to preserving the integrity of her literary creation will undoubtedly be a source of comfort to fans who hold the Harry Potter series dear to their hearts.Beyond these rumors, there’s one TikTok user who’s boldly claimed to possess “exclusive information” about the new cast, and the Potter community is hanging on to their wands in anticipation. The anticipation is nearly as intense as waiting for your acceptance letter to Hogwarts!

The Harry Potter book and film series have conquered the hearts of millions of people all over the world. Recently, HBO announced that they are planning to make a TV show about the young wizard’s adventures. We don’t know yet who will star in the series, so we decided to make up our own cast with the help of AI.

Movie creators do all sorts of things to make their actors look the way the role requires. Some actors need to have their hair dyed, others change their accent, and some need to work out for months to get fit.

Film production is a tricky business, where plans can be ruined in the blink of an eye. Today we’re used to seeing Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow and we could hardly imagine Hugh Jackman taking the lead. However, he was the first choice of the scriptwriter for Pirates of the Caribbean.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

In the last several years, various live-action reboots of our favorite cartoons have aired, bringing the characters of our childhood back on screen. While many actors played fictional characters during this time, it seems like some actors were born for the roles of cartoon characters. Using AI, we imagined how 15 actors and actresses that resemble these characters a lot would look like actually playing them. And they turned out to be so good we can’t pick a favorite.
