The artist from Hamburg, Stefan Kuhnigk, combines 3 things many people love the most — creativity, quirkiness, and coffee. His work started with a small office incident, and the artist decided to keep on breathing life into coffee stains. His coffee monsters have their own unique characters and backstories, and might even remind us of some people in our lives.
We at Bright Side are fascinated with people who manage to find inspiration in ordinary things and turn objects that may seem meaningless into true works of art.
1. In 2011, Stefan Kuhnigk, a designer and copywriter from Germany, found inspiration in a simple coffee stain.
2. He spilled some coffee on a piece of paper while he was at an office meeting and turned it into a drawing.
3. Now, Kuhnigk carefully chooses the best coffee he’s going to spill to make his coffee monsters.
4. He says that although you can work with any type of coffee, some of them may leave too dark of a stain, so it’s impossible to draw on them.
5. It takes anywhere from 4 to 6 hours for the coffee stain to dry before the artist can begin working with it.
6. Kuhnigk has already created more than 600 unique coffee monsters.
7. The artist spills coffee randomly which is why all his monsters are unique.
8. Kuhnigk shares that he enjoys this project because of “the determination or coincidence of the coffee hitting paper.”
9. He also has always enjoyed doodling and likes the romance of it, and it may have influenced his work.
10. The artist believes that his work may appeal to many people because almost everyone has spilled coffee in their life.
11. Kuhnigk shares that his drawings are also very easy to understand which might make them even more likable.
12. Although Kuhnigk usually draws each monster for no more than 30 minutes, it takes him a few days to “brew” the idea for the character.
13. Each coffee monster has its own unique story and inspiration behind its character.
14. The artist has more than 20,000 fans following him on Instagram.
15. Kuhnigk also runs a YouTube channel where he shares how some of our favorite monsters were created.
16. The artist published a book called The Coffeemonsters Book that contains stories and pictures of coffee monsters.

Banana and corn looked very different before human cultivation, carrots were made orange for political reasons, and watermelons were very bitter. Some of the foods we love eating today carry interesting histories and stories of how they changed over time. Bright Side learned all about the fascinating transformations our modern foods have gone through and we discovered 13 facts about them that you might find hard to believe.
1. The original cucumber was toxic.
The original cucumber, also known as the wild cucumber, was so toxic it wasn’t edible. Instead, people from India cultivated them and used them as medicine. The cucumbers we eat today grow longer and have high water content, making them good for a low-calorie diet.
2. Eggplants weren’t purple and they had spikes.
The eggplant earned its name because, at one point, it looked like an egg growing out of a plant. The earliest eggplants came in different colors such as white, yellow, and blue. They also had different shapes like round and oval, and their stems had little spikes on them.
3. Tomatoes were once called “poison apples.”
In the 1700s, some Europeans actually feared eating tomatoes, which they called “poison apples.” They thought the wealthy people who ate them died because of their consumption. As it turned out, when acidic tomatoes were placed on the lead-made pewter plates, the combination caused lead poisoning.
4. Carrots were turned orange for political reasons.
In earlier centuries, carrots came in white and purple colors. There is a theory that carrots were turned orange by the Dutch for political reasons. The tale is that to honor William of Orange, a revolution leader, Dutch farmers bred the orange-colored carrots we know today. Even though this is a theory, the House of Orange did become associated with the orange carrots.
5. Corn was barely edible.
The food staple, corn, came from teosinte, a type of Mexican grass. It had fewer kernels and its hard casing made it difficult to extract them, making it barely edible. Through years of selective breeding and domestication, corn became much larger, easier to grow, and more edible.
6. Bananas had seeds.
Wild bananas were hard and they contained large seeds inside. The bananas we have today actually came from 2 varieties of wild bananas, which evolved into a more nutritious variety with smaller seeds and better taste.
7. Apples were tiny.
The apple’s ancestor, the wild apple, was tiny. What’s more amazing is that within a single tree, there were different colors, sizes, and flavors of wild apples. Around 4,000 years ago, apples were domesticated and cultivated to improve their size and flavor.
8. Avocados were smaller and had a large pit.
Wild avocados were smaller and had a large pit that covered almost the whole edible part — it also had a hard shell. Because it was so small, you’d need 10 wild avocados to get the same amount of “meat” that a single modern avocado would provide!
9. Peaches and cherries used to be the same size.
Before, peaches resembled cherries in size and had a smaller portion of edible flesh. The ancient Chinese were the first to domesticate wild peaches. After going through thousands of years’ worth of selective breeding, peaches grew larger and became juicier.
10. Watermelons tasted very bitter.
Watermelons came from Egypt 5,000 years ago and back then, they were very small and tasted extremely bitter. They also had a paler appearance, contained less red flesh, and carried more seeds. Through cultivation using a selective breeding process, watermelons now have more of the sweet, juicy red flesh and their rinds shrunk in size.
11. Marshmallows started as a plant.
Long before it became the sweet treat it is today, marshmallows were once a plant. They belong to the mallow family and grow in the marsh — hence the name “marshmallow.” It wasn’t until the 1950s that marshmallow was turned into candy and over time, it has become the fluffy white treat we love today.
12. Food canning was invented for the military.
The food canning method was invented when Nicolas Appert heeded the call of the French government to find a means to preserve food for their army and navy troops. Appert sealed food tightly in a jar or bottle. He then heated these containers up to a certain temperature and maintained that heat level for a certain period of time. The containers were kept sealed until it was time to consume the food inside.
13. The wedding cake was broken over a bride for good luck.
Wedding cakes originally looked like scones which were made from barley or wheat. They were an important part of the wedding ceremony, as the marriage was considered finalized after the cake was broken over the bride. This act was believed to bring the newlyweds good fortune. Later on, guests gathered up the crumbs of the cake for good luck.

Bright Side shows you a selection of shoes, boots, and sneakers that have glowed in their own light in movies and are part of cinema’s most valuable memories.
1. Ruby slippers (The Wizard of Oz)
These ruby slippers were used by actress Judy Garland in her role as Dorothy Gale in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. Unlike the original novel, in which Dorothy’s footwear is silver, the film used a pair with red sequins to take full advantage of the technicolor filming technology that was new at the time.

Unlike the traditional white or pink color for this footwear, the intensity of the color red in these shoes emphasized the story of a dancer who was played by Moira Shearer. She put on these ballet slippers and didn’t stop dancing until she fell asleep, an essential factor for understanding the plot of this classic movie.
3. Kitten heels (Breakfast at Tiffany’s)
Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful woman on and off the screen. This iconic diva knew how to set trends in fashion, which she did with kitten heels. The actress began wearing these heels in the ’50s. But it wasn’t until the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s that this shoe was established as a famous pair that was suitable for the masses. After this movie, many important women and public figures started wearing these shoes, and it became an elegant shoe choice for both formal and informal events.
4. Belle Vivier (Belle de Jour)
In the 1967 film Belle de Jour, the character Séverine (Catherine Deneuve) was characterized by wearing the most sophisticated clothing and footwear, including Belle Viviers, created in the 1960s by the shoemaker Roger Vivier. The black patent leather pilgrim-style shoes, with a low heel and a large metal buckle, caused a riot among women. Its glory came with its appearance in the Luis Buñuel film. To date, this model is marketed in different styles by the designer’s shoe house. And half a century later, the actress and the brand were reunited in a special video.
5. Keds Champion (Dirty Dancing)
Jennifer Gray put on an excellent performance as Baby Houseman for the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing, and part of the success was because of her feet, with her white Keds Champion sneakers. These rubber-soled canvas sneakers were created in 1916. They were considered one of the first accessible and comfortable options for women. According to the words of Emily Culp, head of marketing for the brand, the cameo appearance of the Champion model increased sales tenfold. Today, these sneakers continue to enjoy success and have been part of the image of artists like Taylor Swift.
6. MAG (Back to the Future Part II)
The film Back to the Future Part II took us to the year 2015. It showed us the advances in technology that could have existed by that time (at least according to the filmmakers of the ’80s). One of the highlights was the pair of Nike MAG sneakers used by Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), with a futuristic design. Despite their rising popularity, it wasn’t until 2011 that Nike announced an auction for 1,500 pairs of this model. In 2016, a new limited-edition of 89 pairs came out. In both cases, the profits were donated to the Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
7. High-knee leather boots (Pretty Woman)
In Pretty Woman (1990), Julia Roberts played Vivian Ward and was not only successful because of her performance, but also because of her style. Her footwear was the highlight. The boots she used for her character were made of shiny leather, with high heels, and zippers that ran from ankle to knee. After the movie, many brands released their own version of these shoes.
8. Cortez Classic (Forrest Gump)
One of the many skills that Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) had was running. He spent several days running across the United States in this pair of Nike Cortez Classic sneakers, which returned to popularity after their debut in the 1994 film. Designed in 1972 by the brand’s co-founder, Bill Bowerman, their lightness and durability made them a shoe that was favored by runners. Nike recently relaunched the classic Cortez and other variants of this model, featuring Bella Hadid as their ambassador.
9. Mexico 66 (Kill Bill: Volume 1)
Almost everyone can remember the yellow outfit Uma Thurman wore for the 2003 movie Kill Bill: Volume 1. She combined it perfectly with a pair of Mexico 66 sneakers from the Onitsuka Tiger brand, created in the 1960s by Kihachiro Onitsuka, for Japanese athletes before the 1968 Mexico Olympics. Almost 4 decades after its launch, this footwear reemerged in popularity and the yellow pattern with black stripes remains one of the brand’s most distinctive designs to date.
10. Chuck Taylor All-Stars (Marie Antoinette)
The 2006 film, Marie Antoinette, shows a part of the life of the archduchess of Austria, played by Kirsten Dunst, in 18th century France. In one of the scenes, we find a pair of Chuck Taylor All-Stars. In an interview with the director, Sofia Coppola, she explained that the scene was filmed for fun, but that they decided to leave the classic sneakers in. This detail didn’t go unnoticed, and the model is one of the best sellers in the brand’s official stores today.
11. Chanel Boots (The Devil Wears Prada)
The leather boots that emerge from the feet to all the way above the knees were part of the Chanel brand’s fall-winter show in 2005, which the film’s production made good use of. Although it is probably tough to get the identical boots now, Victoria Beckham recently displayed her own boots with characteristics similar to the model shown in the movie.
12. Hangisi stilettos (Sex in the City)
Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) was a woman who was obsessed with designer footwear, but above all, with Manolo Blahnik pumps. This was proven in the 2008 movie Sex in the City, where she appears boasting blue Hangisi stilettos, with a stiletto heel and a square crystal buckle. After the film, this design gained popularity and quickly sold out. These “Manolos” are still available on the official website of the Spanish designer brand.
13. Glass Slippers (Cinderella)
If we want to talk about iconic footwear in cinema, there’s no way we can leave out Cinderella’s glass slippers. Of all the film versions, the pair from the 2015 film, which were worn by Lily James in her starring role, left everyone stunned. The heels were designed by the Swarovski firm, in collaboration with Disney, and they were made of solid crystal with a 6-inch heel. The effort was immense, but the disappointment was just as great when Lily revealed in an interview that the slippers didn’t fit her.

The word “renovation” may send shivers down your spine. It’s enough to imagine all this dust, dirt, and a long-running process that includes a bunch of expenses, to want to cancel all your plans and live in peace. If you’ve been planning to, but haven’t dared to clean your balcony or redecorate your bedroom, have a look at these photos from the people who have survived renovations and now, their house is full of beauty and order.
We at Bright Side got inspired by these users’ examples, and we can’t want to transform something. And now, it’s your turn.

The art of a successful marriage includes having a good sense of humor. It helps make many problems a lot easier to deal with, and Twitter users have proven this to be true. If a husband snores or a wife managed to open a jar of pickles without you, perhaps it’s time for a little laugh.
We at Bright Side wish everyone could have a strong family and remember to still have a sense of humor through it all.

brightside--2020-06-02--20+ Cult Roles That Were Almost Played by Other Actors

20+ Cult Roles That Were Almost Played by Other Actors Creators were ready to rewrite Neo ’ s role from The Matrix for Sandra Bullock .
In one of his interviews , the producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said that in the early stages of producing The Matrix , Neo almost ended up becoming a woman .
According to him , while trying to find the right celebrity , they considered Sandra Bullock for the main role and it was even offered to her.
`` We sent her the script to see if she was interested in it .

Ian McKellen was offered the chance to become Dumbledore in the story about a wizard boy .

Just like history, Hollywood doesn’t like hypothetical situations. However, after learning certain facts, it can be difficult to stop yourself from that “what-if” kind of thinking. For instance, how would The Matrix look if Neo’s role was written for Sandra Bullock? Or what would Dumbledore be like if he was played by Ian McKellen? Believe it or not, these things had a pretty high chance of becoming a reality.
Bright Side snuck behind the curtains of the film world and found out which actors were supposed to play classic, beloved roles but didn’t for some reason.
Creators were ready to rewrite Neo’s role from The Matrix for Sandra Bullock.
Played by: Keanu Reeves
In one of his interviews, the producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said that in the early stages of producing The Matrix, Neo almost ended up becoming a woman. According to him, while trying to find the right celebrity, they considered Sandra Bullock for the main role and it was even offered to her. " We sent her the script to see if she was interested in it. And if she was interested in it, we would try to make the change," he added. However, Bullock wasn’t interested in taking part in the trilogy.
Uma Thurman turned down the offer to play Éowyn in The Lord of the Rings.
Played by: Miranda Otto
During a late-night talk show, Uma Thurman, the star of many of Quentin Tarantino’s movies, confessed that she was offered the role of Éowyn in the on-screen version of The Lord of the Rings but turned the offer down. “I do consider it one of the worst decisions I ever made,” she added.
Scarlett Johansson had an audition for the role of Fantine in the Les Misérables movie.
Played by: Anne Hathaway
The Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson, wanted to play the role of Fantine in the movie adaptation of the musical based on the novel by Victor Hugo. She went to the audition, but got sick with laryngitis, which removed her from the list of candidates for the role. “And I think looking at the film now, there’s no possible way I ever could have topped that performance by Anne Hathaway,” the actress said. “It was perfect and I think fateful and meant to be. ”
Bradley Cooper dreamt of getting the role of The Green Lantern, but overdid it.
Played by: Ryan Reynolds
The actor confessed that for some reason, he decided to speak with the voice of Batman at the audition, “I put a mask on and the director was like, ’Okay Bradley, be regular and talk.’ And I was like, ’Yeah, got it... [in a deep, gravelly Batman voice] listen, Sally, we’re going to have to take your family away if you don’t listen to me!’” So, it’s no surprise that it was Reynolds who eventually got the role.
Initially it was Tom Cruise who was supposed to be the main figure in the movie Salt.
Played by: Angelina Jolie
The name of Cruise’s character was Edwin A. Salt. However, the actor turned the role down because he was already engaged in other projects. Later it was Angelina Jolie who got it and the script was changed for her character, Evelyn Salt.
Halle Berry could’ve played in Homeland, the main spy series of the decade.
Played by: Claire Danes
Initially Showtime considered the Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry for the role of Carrie Mathison. However, eventually, they opted for the younger Claire Danes, who had just won a bunch of awards for her role in the movie Temple Grandin.
Riz Ahmed was considered for the role of Jamal Malik in Slumdog Millionaire.
Played by: Dev Patel
The actor Dev Patel became popular thanks to the role of Jamal Malik in the movie Slumdog Millionaire. However, things could’ve gone differently if the role was played by Riz Ahmed, who was also a candidate for getting the lead role in the movie. Riz auditioned for this role before Patel and when he failed to get it, he decided to try to get the role of the main character’s older brother, but he failed to get that one either.
Christopher Plummer can’t recall the exact reason why he turned down the role of Gandalf in Lord of the Rings.
Played by: Ian McKellen
Despite the fact that the actor was a big fan of J. R. R. Tolkien’s novel series, he still turned down the role of Gandalf. On one talk show, Plummer confessed that he can’t recall why he made such a decision, but it seemed like the perspective of spending 3-4 years in New Zealand working on the same franchise was too radical a step for a person of his age. “I thought, there are other countries I’d also like to visit before I croak,” the actor added.
Benedict Cumberbatch could have gotten the lead role in the True Blood TV series.
Played by: Stephen Moyer
True fans of True Blood already know that the actor Stephen Moyer, who played Bill, married his colleague on the series — Anna Paquin, whose character in the series was his love interest. Initially, it was Benedict Cumberbatch who auditioned for this role.
Jennifer Lawrence could have become the “Easy A.”
Played by: Emma Stone
The comedy Easy A, that brought Emma Stone fame, could’ve starred the different, and no less talented actress, Jennifer Lawrence. She confessed that she had auditioned for this role and really wanted it. It was good that things eventually turned out the way they did.
Tom Hanks’s hectic schedule prevented him from playing the lead role in Jerry Maguire.
Played by: Tom Cruise
Just imagine Tom Hanks shouting, “Show me the money!” You can actually visualize it. The director of the movie, Cameron Crowe, wrote the script imagining Hanks in the main role, however, by the time shooting had started, too much time had passed and the actor aged out of the role.
Angelina Jolie eventually failed to embody the image of a research astronaut in the movie Gravity.
Played by: Sandra Bullock
Initially, it was Jolie who was supposed to play the main role in Alfonso Cuarón’s movie Gravity. But the actress refused to be in the movie, thanks to which Sandra Bullock, who got nominated for an Oscar for her acting, landed the role.
Matthew Broderick turned down the role of Walter White in Breaking Bad.
Played by: Bryan Cranston
The creator of the TV series, Vince Gilligan, wanted Bryan Cranston to play a chemistry teacher who decided to break bad. However, the management of the AMC TV channel, in their turn, wanted a famous celebrity to star in the series. Matthew Broderick, famous for his role in the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, was one of the candidates, but the actor turned the offer down.
Scott Eastwood refused to be in Fifty Shades of Grey because of the nude scenes.
Played by: Jamie Dornan
In one of his interviews, Scott Eastwood explained his reason for turning down the role of Christian Grey, “They had asked me to come in and read and test for it. But they had no script. I won’t do a movie where there is no script. I am not going to get locked in.” The actor also added that the movie creators wanted full-frontal nudity in some scenes. “There were some things about it that were not for me,” he added.
Paul Giamatti could’ve become one of the main characters in The Office series.
Played by: Steve Carell
Today, it’s hard to imagine someone else other than Steve Carell in the role of Michael Scott. However, Kevin Reilly, the president of NBC, recommended Paul Giamatti for this role. The actor turned down the offer and it went to Carell.
Goldie Hawn talked her daughter, Kate Hudson, out of starring in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You.
Played by: Julia Stiles
A real expert on romantic comedies, Kate Hudson was supposed to play the role of Kat Stratford in the cult youth movie 10 Things I Hate About You. However, her mother, actress Goldie Hawn, didn’t like the script and she persuaded her daughter to refuse to take part in the project.
Cate Blanchett was supposed to play a role in the psychological drama Closer.
Played by: Julia Roberts
Pretty Woman star Julia Roberts wasn’t the first actress on director Mike Nicholls’ list for the role of Anna Cameron in the movie, Closer. Cate Blanchett was originally considered for this role, but she had just had a baby at that time.
Dwayne Johnson auditioned for the role of Jack Reacher in the movie of the same name.
Played by: Tom Cruise
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has proven many times that his participation in an action movie is the key to its success at the global box office. However, in 2011, when the shooting of the detective thriller Jack Reacher began, the movie creators opted for the different, and no less famous actor, Tom Cruise. “Yup, luv the character. ’Bout 10 years ago I went after the role, but Cruise got it. Was great motivation for me to always stay hungry,” Dwayne once wrote on his Twitter page.
Elizabeth Banks could’ve become the girlfriend of the first Spider-Man, if not for her age.
Played by: Kirsten Dunst
Elizabeth Banks wanted to get the role of Spider-Man’s girlfriend in the screen version which was filmed in 2002. “I screen-tested for the role of Mary-Jane Watson in the first Spider-Man movie, opposite Tobey Maguire. Tobey and I are basically the same age and I was told that I was too old to play her,” the actress once shared in an interview. But in the end, the producers chose to give the role of Mary-Jane to a younger actress, Kirsten Dunst, who was around 8 years younger than Banks.
Millie Bobby Brown was dreaming of playing X-23 in the movie Logan.
Played by: Dafne Keen
There is no doubt that Millie Bobby Brown, who got famous thanks to her role as Eleven in the series Stranger Things, would’ve been perfect for the role of the mutant X-23. However, she didn’t get a chance to play this role herself despite “the best audition of her life” as the actress claims.
Cher was considered for the role of Morticia Addams in the movie about the scary family.
Played by: Anjelica Huston
Cher didn’t officially turn down the role of Morticia Addams and the cinema studio insisted on her participation in the project. But the movie’s director, Barry Sonnenfeld, wanted the cast of the movie to be balanced and not built around one celebrity.
Ian McKellen was offered the chance to become Dumbledore in the story about a wizard boy.
Played by: Michael Gambon
When Richard Harris, who played the role of Dumbledore in the first 2 movies about Harry Potter, died in 2002, the role was first offered to Ian McKellen. But he turned it down because “I couldn’t take over this part from an actor who I knew didn’t approve of me.” Harris once said about McKellen, that he “is technically brilliant, but passionless.” In the end, the role went to Michael Gambon.
In which cases, in your opinion, would a different candidate for the role have looked better than the actual actor who played it?

We at Bright Side need to remind you that keeping a wild animal in your apartment can be dangerous. But just take a look at these 15 animals that have become the sweetest fluffy companions for their humans.
1. A cow takes a bubble bath at Iowa Farm Sanctuary.
Angel has been adopted by the owners of a vegan, non-profit Iowa Farm Sanctuary.

Angel adores the bubbles, just like a kid.

A father’s presence in a child’s life really shapes their confidence and overall development, but that’s not all. According to a study, kids who look like their father grow up healthier than ones who do not resemble their dads.
Bright Side found the study intriguing and would like to reveal its details to our readers.
To determine the importance of a father’s presence, 715 families were studied.
Researchers from Binghamton University took data from 715 families where the parents lived separately. Fathers and mothers of these children were interviewed in 5 stages. First, within 3 days of the birth of the baby and then 4 times throughout the year. The parents were asked who the baby resembles more, the father or the mother. The babies’ health was monitored over the year.
Babies who looked like their father were found to be healthier.
Surprisingly, infants who looked more like their fathers reported fewer cases of illness, asthma attacks, visits to the emergency room, and spent less time in hospitals. It was also noted that babies who resemble their fathers had favorable health conditions over the others after they turned a year old.
Fathers spend more time with these babies.
The study further adds that fathers tend to spend more time with the baby if it looks like them. They invest in more direct contact with the baby and spend an average extra 2.5 days per month with them. They also involve themselves more in childcare and chores.
Solomon Polachek, a professor at New York’s Binghamton University and one of the authors of the study, said in a statement that the role of fathers is essential in raising a child and that it manifests itself in the babies’ health. An extra day of time spent by the dad with the baby can improve its health by 10%.
A strong relationship between father and child is helpful during adolescence too.
According to a study conducted by Minnesota State University, adolescents who have a better relationship with their fathers’ experience fewer issues with internalizing problems and inattentive/hyperactive behaviors. Just like mothers, a father’s involvement in his child’s life is equally important.

After that, some manage to play new characters and roles that challenge their acting skills, while the public remembers others for specific parts that seem to follow them throughout their career. If they were to venture outside of their repetitive roles, it would look weird seeing them play someone else.
Bright Side wants to walk you through a list of 11 actors and actresses who always seem to play the same role. We’re not saying they’ve never done anything else. It’s just that their roles all seem to be somewhat similar.
1. John Wayne
His name is synonymous with the “Wild West” vigilante, and for good reason. The prolific career of this American actor included a myriad of cowboy characters or other roles that were set during that same period. Much of this was due to his early role in the 1939 film Stagecoach, which brought back and revitalized the Westerner genre well into the 1960s. His only Oscar victory was for 1969 film True Grit.
2. Keira Knightley
If time travel ever becomes possible, we’re sure Keira will be the first to try it out. From the Pirates of the Caribbean to Anna Karenina and Atonement, the British actress has established herself as the actress for any historical role that may come her way. In an interview, she confessed her love for films set in the past: “I think some people find escapism through science fiction or fantasy, and I suppose my escapism into another world has always been through period drama.”
3. Noel Gugliemi
You probably don’t know him by his name, but you’ve undoubtedly seen his face. Gugliemi has made a healthy living playing a gangster in films like Fast and Furious, Training Day, and The Dark Knight Rises. His career started after many twists and turns. In an interview he shared: “I went from a normal life, to abandonment and homelessness, to a criminal life, and then to an actor’s life,” he said regarding the time he spent as a real gang member after his parents abandoned him at the age of 13. His ultimate salvation was a girl who took him to an acting class, which led him to play a role in a commercial. And the rest, as they say, is history.
4. Melissa McCarthy
This comedy actress had her beginnings on Gilmore Girls and in Mike & Molly. From there, she moved on to the big screen. Except for a few roles, she has ever since been pigeonholed in the role of the scandalous plus-sized woman. She has appeared in this role in films like Identity Thief, Spy, and Bridesmaids. For the latter, she was nominated for an Oscar for “Best Supporting Actress” in 2012. Today, many of her films are produced by her own company, called On the Day Productions, along with her husband, actor Ben Falcone.
5. Seth Rogen
Identified by his dark humor and infectious laughter, Seth Rogen not only acts, but also directs, produces, and writes many of the films in which he stars. In the vast majority of films he’s been in, he seems to play the role of the character who is consistently under the influence of substances, but is too endearing to hate. For example: Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, and This Is the End. Interestingly, one of his most successful and completely unrelated roles is as the voice of Mantis in the animated Kung Fu Panda saga.
6. Milla Jovovich
After a successful start in her early youth, Milla went from modeling to the big screen in the film Return to the Blue Lagoon. She then established herself as an international star thanks to the science fiction film, The Fifth Element, in which she played the fearless alien Leeloo. After a short while, another opportunity presented itself that would end up defining her in the world of cinema: the film adaptation of the zombie video game Resident Evil, where she played the main protagonist, Alice. Since that distant 2002 film, a lot has happened, and by a lot, we mean that Milla has appeared in all 6 franchise films of Resident Evil. In between each of the sequels, the actress has made other films, but in most of them, she played some version of her characters Alice or Leeloo, basically: a lethal and eccentric heroine or villain in a fantasy world. A few examples: Hellboy, Ultraviolet, or The Three Musketeers.
7. Liam Neeson
The Irish actor is a very particular case. It seems that half the time, he plays pretty defined dramatic roles, like his performances in Schindler’s List, Batman Begins, or Silence. The other half of the time he spends surviving or chasing after all the bad guys who are trying to kidnap his daughter or his wife, or... you get the idea. It seems to have all started with his role in Taken, the thriller from 2008. Following the enormous success of the film, Neeson saw a niche. In the last decade, he has participated in Non-Stop, in 2014 (where he tracks a terrorist on an airplane), Cold Pursuit, in 2019 (where he seeks revenge for the death of his son), and Unknown, in 2011 (where he looks for someone who’s stolen his identity).
8. Katherine Heigl
Heigl’s career was set on the right track when she landed the role of Izzie in the critically acclaimed Grey’s Anatomy medical series. But after several years of discussions with producer Shonda Rhimes and the writers about the direction her character was taking, she decided to leave the role and focus on her family. During and after the event, Katherine built a career in romantic movies where she played the girl who is very picky when it comes to falling in love, think 27 Dresses, The Ugly Truth, and New Year’s Eve.
9. Emma Roberts
A bad girl attitude, a popular student profile, and some irreverent phrases are the successful ingredients for many of the characters played by Emma Roberts, both on the big and small screens. Just think of Scream 4, in 2011, and what are perhaps her best-known roles: the witch, Madison Montgomery, in the third season of American Horror Story, and her starring role in Scream Queens. For her role of Chane in Scream Queens, she was inspired by Regina George from Mean Girls, and by the characters of Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn in Death Becomes Her.
10. Jackie Chan
One of the most famous and prolific actors to date (in 2019 he was the fifth best-paid actor), Jackie Chan made his mark in cinema for his risky action scenes, which he performs himself without the help of a stunt double. But what he offers in variety when fighting, he doesn’t in acting. No matter what the genre is of the movie, his character will always put on a martial arts show at some point, be it as a babysitter (The Spy Next Door), as a butler (Around the World in 80 Days), or as a policeman (Rush Hour saga).
11. Jason Bateman
You know who he is, but he often goes by unnoticed. He’s the main protagonist of the film, but usually just an ordinary guy, the character that serves as a reference for the public against the more eccentric roles. If there’s someone who fills that role, it’s Jason Bateman. His expression, his demeanor, and his way of acting in movies like Hancock and Horrible Bosses serves as a counter-balance to his co-star’s more “out of the box” actions. Someone has to do it, but hopefully, it won’t be him forever. He currently stars in the Netflix series Ozark, where he seems to have finally changed roles, giving life to the patriarch of a family that enters into the world of money laundering.
