According to a study, actors’ brain activity changes when they are in character, displaying a reduction or suppression of their sense of self. It might be liberating to portray roles that are the polar opposite of one’s character; however, once filming is wrapped, we wonder if these actors can fully go back to being themselves or whether a part of the person they portrayed stays with them forever.

Even though beauty standards change over time, some men in show business have such an appearance that it’s perfectly clear why they win over and break millions of hearts. Of course, their lifestyle and the passing of time have changed how they look, so some of them are hard to recognize today. And other stars of the past seem to have benefited from aging.

Our favorite actors and actresses appear on the red carpet in luxurious outfits that we never get tired of discussing. But sometimes celebrities’ stylists prepare those looks in an especially creative way and we can see references to movies and characters in the details of their gowns.

It’s not just the actors but also costume designers that should be thanked for the great characters we see in movies. No matter how genius an actor is, when people remember certain characters, they think about their appearances. And also, designers may be trying to explain something important about the characters through their looks.

People tend to express themselves in different ways: some people channel their creativity through their appearance and clothes, while others do it through arts, like music, drawing, or tattoos. This body art has long stopped being just meaningless pictures on the skin, especially when it comes to celebrities who seem to add deeper meaning to their inkings, thus letting their fans learn their personality better.

There are many myths and prejudices about gray hair. However, scientists have come to the conclusion that a person’s lifestyle and genetics play an important role in its appearance. Nevertheless, going gray is a natural biological process, and there is no reason to worry about it. The celebrities in this article also think that their gray hair is the symbol of their life experiences and sport it with pride.

Selma Blair became a Hollywood star at the turn of the millennium, and then she unexpectedly disappeared. It seemed that the actress got carried away by raising children, so she agreed to star only in episodes of TV shows. But in fact, the star had other reasons for working less. Her entire life, Selma had been suffering from unexplainable symptoms. It was only in 2018 that doctors found out she had an incurable illness.

Scottish actress Karen Gillan is known to many from the TV series Doctor Who. It made her famous all over the world and allowed her to develop her career further, taking to the United States. However, as a child, Gillan dreamt of a different profession; acting helped her gain confidence and fulfil her life-long dream.

An actress’ pregnancy can considerably complicate the filming process and become a challenge for the creative team. A feature film can take a long time to make, let alone a series that’s several seasons in length. In such cases, the filmmakers resort to different solutions: writing the pregnancy into the script, hiding their belly under clothing and props, or using visual effects. By using these tricks, sometimes a star’s pregnancy goes completely unnoticed by the audience.

The year 2022 was not an easy one for Jane Fonda. The two-time Oscar winner was diagnosed with cancer, but the actress wasn’t discouraged and passed the challenge with flying colors. Thankfully, the disease soon went into remission and Jane went on to live her life with even more energy and gratitude to fate. We take a look back at how the events unfolded and reveal what motivates the eco-activist and star of Grace and Frankie to take care of herself.

Even experienced and renowned actors don’t always get their dream roles, and newcomers even more so. And while some movie stars calmly accept rejection, others look back on those missed opportunities with disappointment. We, as viewers, can only wonder how the movie might have turned out if its makers had chosen different actors.

Actors’ figures have long been the subject of public discussion and judgment. And even America’s favorite, Jennifer Lawrence, hasn’t escaped this sad fate. In a recent interview, the star revealed how The Hunger Games producers suggested that she lose weight for the role, but Jennifer rejected the idea. We reveal why the Oscar winner decided not to lose weight and recall how Lawrence made the world a kinder and better place with her body-positive ideas.

Even professional makeup artists and stylists sometimes make mistakes. Some cases can be explained by the fashion trends from certain years. For example, light blue eyeshadow, skin-tone lipstick, or shimmering lip gloss, which were so popular in the 2000s, would look very odd today. But sometimes, the people in charge of celebrity looks just seem to forget how to use concealers, highlighters, bronzers, or blushes correctly.

Romantic movies are built on rules and formulas that viewers already know all too well — best friends fall in love with each other, ordinary people conquer the hearts of celebrities. Due to this, we stop taking certain clichés seriously and think that these situations can’t happen in real life. Nevertheless, there is common sense and wise advice in those cheesy rom-coms.

There are films that have a special place in our hearts and we are ready to watch them for the hundredth or thousandth time. But even when we enjoy our favorite movies, we often don’t pay attention to the story details and the way they were created. And these facts can completely change our ideas about the characters and their actions.

Sometimes the story of a movie’s creation is more fascinating than the movie itself. Some actors would agree to play a small part and become famous. While others would turn down a cool project and never get another chance to play in something like this. And there are actors who refused parts in movies, but then changed their minds and hit the jackpot.

Bradley Cooper is a Hollywood heartthrob almost anyone would want to walk the red carpet with. However, the actor often chooses his mother, Gloria Campano, as his red carpet date. They’ve also been living in the same house for more than 10 years because Bradley believes his mother feels lonely after his father’s death and invited her to live with him.

Actress Emily Blunt charms audiences with her genuine smile and excellent sense of humor, but the star is not limited to these talents. The mother-of-two has witnessed some double standards when it comes to parents of different genders and decided not to be silent about it. This is not the first time she has spoken openly about parenthood. We’ll tell you what guides Blunt and her husband, John Krasinski, in raising their daughters and how she manages to hide their popularity from the children.

There are millions of incredibly beautiful people around the world. This is especially true of famous actors who regularly appear in the rankings of the most attractive and charming faces. It’s really scary to imagine how many people dream of winning their attention, but most of these stars have long found their true love.

Judi Dench is a very successful movie actress. She is an Academy Award winner for her role as Queen Elizabeth I in the romantic comedy Shakespeare in Love, and has been nominated for this award 8 times. It’s interesting that the actress was on screen in the movie Shakespeare in Love for a total of 8 minutes but it was enough to conquer the hearts of the audience and critics. By the way, short TikTok videos also get hundreds of thousands of views. But the actress takes part in them, not for the sake of popularity, but to have fun with her grandson.
