Films

Great actors get scripts all the time, and it’s not uncommon for them to turn down a lot of them. Even for stars, it can be hard to imagine how successful certain films will be with the public. There are times when they regret their choices, but sometimes someone encourages them and they end up accepting roles that will change their lives.

Adults are often invited to play teenage characters, and sometimes they look so convincing that even the most attentive viewers believe that they are teenagers. The actors we have included in this article were so incredibly good in their roles that their real age may come as a shock to you.

When you grow up together with the actors from your favorite movies and series, you don’t always notice the changes they’ve been through during these years. But if you look back and compare the photos where they were at the peak of their fame with their current photos, you’ll be surprised to discover how much they’ve changed.

Directors, scriptwriters, and makeup artists are ready to do a lot to create a perfect image on the big screen that millions of viewers around the world will believe. Very often, long hours of rehearsals, practicing, and takes are needed to create the necessary results. Sometimes, great acting is not enough, and they need stunt doubles, great editing, and very realistic graphics.

There’s an old saying: “Happiness loves silence.” It seems that Natalie Portman agrees with this wisdom. The actress started her movie career at an early age, but success didn’t go into her head—she managed to achieve great heights in her profession and build a strong family. Natalie has worked hard to protect her children’s childhood but be a cool and loving parent at the same time. We decided to find out how Natalie manages to find balance between work and family life and would like to share her wisdom with you.

There’s a general belief that it’s hard to become successful without proper education. However, there is always an exception to the rules. For example, many celebrities dropped out of school but never really regretted their decision. Their experience proves that perseverance and motivation can be more important in achieving success than education.

Many of us look forward to new movie releases and buy tickets to all the premieres. We’re fascinated by original new ideas brought to the big screen, but it turns out that many of them are not so new. More and more, Hollywood producers are turning to forgotten, or lesser-known, films of the past in an attempt to turn them into modern-time hits.

Even after having a baby, many women feel societal pressure and insecurity due to the changes that their bodies go through, an unstable emotional state, or other related issues. Fortunately, some celebrities are not afraid to talk about this, reminding us that everything that happens to moms in the postpartum period is perfectly normal and they’re not alone in this.

We usually find out in advance which actors are going to star in an upcoming film. In the case of a new original film, this is rarely controversial. However, if a film adaptation of an acclaimed book, a remake of a favorite, or its sequel is about to be released, it’s very likely that people are going to talk about it. And often, it’s the chosen actors who come under attack. Sometimes, the criticism is so harsh, that a lot of effort is required to play a particular role well to win over the fans. But the protagonists of this article rose to the challenge and ended up being very successful.

Life in movies tends to be kind of perfect. The situations we see on screen, even the most bizarre or absurd, are always resolved in some way. But we know that everything that happens in an hour and a half in the movies is not true. In fact, reality can not only be imperfect, but even cruder than any cliché.

“A star is made, created; carefully and cold-bloodedly built up from nothing,” said Louis B. Mayer, the co-founder of MGM. And it was true. The studio that made a star had full control over their life: they told the actors how to look, what to wear, and how to behave, they made decisions about actors’ love affairs and even their families. This pressure sometimes ended up in tragedy: the life of actors would become a theater that affected their mental balance poorly.

Nowadays, there are so many movies and TV shows that we can even choose what kinds of characters we want to see. But the way each film presents them can be very different. Sometimes 15-year-olds look like they’re 30, and 40-year-old adults look like they’ve just come of age.

Many actors are so strongly connected to their famous characters that it’s hard to imagine anyone else in their roles. For example, Alien would have been a very different movie with Meryl Streep in it instead of Sigourney Weaver. Not all actors reject roles because they don’t want to take part in a project. And some movies would have probably not been as successful if they had been released with the originally intended cast.

When we first watch a movie or a series, we usually pay attention to the plot. But, if we decide to rewatch something, we might notice that the creators left a lot of hidden references and hints. There are lots of things of the sort in characters’ costumes — they can tell us who the characters are related to, or how their temper has changed.

There are many iconic movies that have forever marked an era in the film industry, like The Terminator, Back to the Future, or Indiana Jones, among others. And while we may remember the actors of these movies in their blossoming youth, we might be surprised when we find out how they’ve changed over the decades.

It’s interesting that when James Cameron started the production of Titanic, very few people believed that this project would be commercially successful. A 3-hour-long movie without Harrier jets, shoot-outs, and car chases didn’t seem promising enough for studio bosses. However, they were very interested in working with this director, so they approved this dubious project. They also approved the production budget of $200 million. But the next difficult task Cameron had to solve was to cast actors who would make a perfect acting ensemble.

They say love knows no borders. And some movies just prove this wisdom because the actors who play a couple in love there can have a rather big age difference. But this doesn’t prevent them from being convincing in these roles, making us believe that true love really exists.

When a person watches a movie or series for the first time, they enjoy the narration and try not to miss important plot twists. It’s only when re-watching the flick for the second time, that attentive people start to notice the tiniest details in the images of the characters, which helps them to understand both the characters and the plot better.

Classic Hollywood cinema is the period when American cinema became very popular. It was the time of actors and actresses who still delight us even 70-80 years later. They were beautiful and elegant, so we were really curious to see what their descendants look like.

Grey’s Anatomy premiered in 2005, and its most recent episodes have been released this year. The cast has changed over the years: new characters appeared and others left. But some of the most loyal ones have given the project 5, 10, and 15 years of their careers.
