Statistics show that nearly 135,000 children are getting adopted in the U.S. every year. Celebrities are among the families that have opened their doors to someone else’s kids. On the one hand, those children are so lucky to enter a life of fame and fortune, but on the other, the only important thing is that they’re loved and well taken care of.
We at Bright Side turn our attention to the famous people who had too much love to give, so they decided to make some children very happy.
1. Michelle Pfeiffer
The famous actress decided to adopt her daughter, Claudia Rose, when she was single. The adoption process was finished in 1993, and, coincidentally, it also became the year Pfeiffer married her current husband, David E. Kelley. They also welcomed a son one year later, thus completing their family.
2. Tom Cruise
Cruise shares 2 adopted children with his ex-wife Nicole Kidman. The former couple adopted a girl Isabella Jane in 1992 and a boy Connor Antony in 1995. Unfortunately, their family wasn’t meant to last and Tom divorced Nicole in 2001. The actor went on to have one more child with his second ex-wife Katie Holmes, while Kidman shares 2 daughters with her husband Keith Urban.
3. Connie Britton
The Friday Night Lights star is a single mother to son Eyob, who she adopted from Ethiopia in 2011. Britton once said she’d consider adopting again, but wouldn’t rush into anything without a partner: “You know, somebody said to me once that you don’t want to be outnumbered by your children... he and I have become such a great little team that I almost wouldn’t want to rock that boat. But I’m always open, for sure.”
4. Hoda Kotb
The Today show host waited until later in life to start a family and it’s paid off. She’s been with her current partner since 2013 and together they adopted their first child, daughter Haley, in 2017. 2 years later, their happiness doubled when Hoda and Joel welcomed their second girl, Hope.
5. Ewan McGregor
McGregor and his wife Eve Mavrakis share 4 daughters together and one of them is adopted from Mongolia. In 2017, the actor separated from his wife and since then has been in a relationship with his Fargo co-star Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
6. Frances McDormand
The Oscar-winning actress shares one child with her husband, famous director Joel Coen. The couple adopted their son Pedro from Paraguay in 1995. Interestingly, McDormand herself was adopted when she was one and a half years old.
7. Ty Burrell
The Modern Family star truly represents his famous TV show as he and his wife are parents to 2 adopted girls. Burrell once revealed that adoption is equally emotional to having kids by themselves: “In terms of the amount of ups and downs involved, we found them similar to those which our friends experienced biologically. There are extensive background searches and interviews, but really it’s about the birth mother. You hope you suit what she wants, as people.”
8. Meg Ryan
Ryan was also single when she adopted a 14-month-old girl from China in 2006. For the first 4 years, she and Daisy were on their own before Meg started dating singer John Mellencamp. The couple split in 2019, but being a single mom again is nothing that Ryan can’t handle.
9. Katherine Heigl
Heigl always knew she’d adopt a child as she grew up with her sister Meg, whom their parents adopted from South Korea. As a result, Katherine and her husband Josh Kelley have 2 adopted daughters: Naleigh from South Korea and Adalaide from the U.S. They also share a son, who was born in 2016.
10. Kristin Davis
The Sex and the City star raises her 2 adopted children by herself: daughter Gemma, whom she welcomed in 2011, and son Wilson, who joined their family in 2018. For Davis, the biggest priority is educating herself to have Gemma and Wilson grow up as part of the African-American community as much as she can.
11. Harrison Ford
Ford became a father to an adopted boy, Liam, in 2002 through his relationship with Calista Flockhart. She adopted her son a year before getting together with the famous actor and he was willing to join her on this journey through parenthood. The couple married in 2010. Harrison also has 4 adult children of his own from 2 previous marriages.
12. Angelina Jolie
Jolie famously has 3 adopted children: son Maddox from Cambodia, daughter Zahara from Ethiopia, and son Pax from Vietnam. In 2006, her ex-husband Brad Pitt also officially adopted Angelina’s children. They went on to have 3 more biological kids. The couple divorced in 2019 and reached a joint custody agreement.
13. Lionel Richie
The famous singer and his first wife informally adopted daughter Nicole in 1983 when she was 2 years old. 7 years later, Richie made the adoption official and still continues to be a loving father to the reality show star. Lionel later got divorced from Nicole’s mom and had 2 more children with his second wife.
14. Cate Blanchett
Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton adopted their daughter Edith in 2015 while already being parents to 3 biological children. The actress once revealed that they’d wanted to adopt ever since the birth of their first son and said that all of her kids were extremely welcoming to their adoptive sister.
15. Emma Thompson
In 2003, Thompson had 2 men officially enter her life: her husband David Wise, who she’d been with since 1995, and their adopted son Tindyebwa Agaba. Emma revealed that they met Tindyebwa when he was 16 years old, during a Refugee Council, and invited him to spend Christmas with them. The family got very close to the boy and, as a result, decided to adopt him. The couple also has a daughter named Gaia.

Love isn’t just about words and big promises, it’s about real actions. Some people express these tender feelings by secretly sharing M&M’s, so the kids won’t know, others wake up early in the morning to make sure their loved one doesn’t have to go to the airport alone in a taxi, and then some create crackers in the shape of their life partner’s zodiac sign.

In recent years, the idea of totally getting rid of unnecessary things has become more popular. Bloggers, celebrities, and psychologists all keep encouraging us to throw away things that haven’t been used for more than a year. However, even food waste, construction waste, cabinet doors, and a broken globe can still be useful and you don’t need to become a DIY expert for that.
We at Bright Side aren’t urging you to endlessly save and store everything you have in your apartment, but instead — to start to use it right away. It will help reduce the amount of garbage in the world and make your life simpler.
Old furniture
“I made a princess bed for my princess Leila! Refurbished an old coffee table and repurposed an old blanket into a doggy pillow!”
Old furniture is first on the list of “things to get rid of” when one starts a repair or simply wants to refresh their living space. However, sometimes it’s more sensible and cheaper to give it the second life.
Grandma’s chest of drawers . Oftentimes, all you need to do to make them look good and match your interior is to repaint them.
. Oftentimes, all you need to do to make them look good and match your interior is to repaint them. Single chairs and chairs without legs. You can use single chairs as flower pot holders, while broken chairs might become swings, bookshelves, or even hangers. Broken tables, in their turn, could become nightstands.
Flower pots (especially ones made of clay, even if they’re broken). You can create a nice composition using some soil, moss, and a pair of succulents.
Old furniture for kids. You can make perfect holders for home appliances from old changing tables. What-not shelves can be used in the bathroom or in the kitchen, while a baby crib can be easily transformed into a small couch.
“Both of our children used this crib for the first 2.5 years of their lives. Trying to get another 5 years out of it!”
Broken lamps. If it’s just the lampshade or the holder that is broken, but the whole mechanism works, you can give the lamp a second chance. Anything from a skein of twine to old toys can help you refresh its look.
Old things
“Bookshelf I made from an old trunk”
Due to the current abundance of choice and fashion, many household items are thrown away undeservedly early. Almost new toothbrushes, razors, stationery, table lamps — all these and many other things can be used again.
Old cosmetic cases. Cream and shadow boxes can become perfect pots for succulents, while small palettes can become useful road kits.
"Repurposed an old makeup palette and put together a mini grooming kit. The magnet holds everything in place."
Terry towels. Terry cloth is excellent for polishing cutlery, as well as glass and crystal glassware. You can use them as reusable kitchen rags. Moreover, these towels can help you in the baking process.
“Best cake making trick I’ve ever learned. Cut a strip from an old towel, soak it in water, and squeeze out the excess, wrap it around the cake tin and secure it with metal pins before baking. You’ll get nice evenly cooked cakes with no doming.”
Toothbrush. Dentists recommend changing your toothbrush once every 3-4 months. Within this period, toothbrushes almost lose their fluff, so you can use them for cleaning anything: tile joints in the bathroom and in the kitchen, the soles of your shoes where sand and small stones are stuck, and even keyboards.

Within this period, toothbrushes almost lose their fluff, so you can use them for cleaning anything: tile joints in the bathroom and in the kitchen, the soles of your shoes where sand and small stones are stuck, and even keyboards. Carpet. You can cut it into pieces and make soft pads for furniture legs.
Bath curtain. This plastic item doesn’t let moisture get through it, so you can use it during picnics as an underlaying for a blanket. If you have pets, you can make a carpet for them. Ordinary curtains can be repurposed as well.
"Just finished sewing produce bags. Won't feel worried about polluting the Earth anymore."
Film cameras. Nowadays shooting with film is trendy again — it is sold and processed in every big city. Photos taken on the film camera seem to be more soulful.

Bedsheets that are no longer suitable for home usage can find their second life in your vacation house. You can use them for covering plants overnight to protect them from frost, rather than covering each plant separately.
Made “baskets” from curtain and duvet covers, whales from upholstery scraps and old clothes, and the girls designed their dresses and used old clothing, scraps, and a bedsheet."
TV set with a picture tube. Old TVs can be easily turned into aquariums because they have hermetic glass in the front part. You can also use an old TV set as a small table or a pet bed.
“1960s Zenith TV. We took out the tube and now we keep books, a catch-all dish, and pottery on top, and our cat inside.”
Drinking glasses without a match. You can use them as flower pots or holders for the various small items our houses are usually full of.
You can use them as flower pots or holders for the various small items our houses are usually full of. Pet toys. There is always a way to save money and not have to buy new things — just make a new toy out of several old ones.
“I sewed some of my dog’s destroyed toys into a hybrid monstrosity. She is pretty happy to have a new toy!”
Food waste
Food waste makes up about 19% of all garbage that is disposed of in landfills in countries like the UK and the USA. It is easy to reduce these numbers by not throwing them away instantly.
Potato peels. Although they don’t look attractive from the outside, they are “rich” in vitamins and minerals. Potato peels contain polysaccharides, vitamin C, riboflavin, thiamine, folates, magnesium, calcium, copper, iron, and much more. They soothe burned skin perfectly, help with arthritis, and are even suitable for fertilizing flowers — all you need to do is to dry them in the oven.
“I had to peel potatoes for soup. Instead of throwing the peels away, I baked them in the oven with some oil for homemade chips!”
Coffee grounds. They are an excellent odor neutralizer and repeller of pests and insects. You can also make a scrub or a flower fertilizer from them or polish a scratch on a wooden furniture item (see the photo below).
Strawberries and carrot bottoms. The easiest thing to do is to add them when brewing tea — you’ll get the perfect anti-inflammatory drink. The roots of greenery can be reused too — just place them in water and you’ll get fresh greenery after several days.
“Learned this from my mom. Every time you buy chives/green onions just cut most of them off and use them or store them in the fridge. Then put the roots in a cup with half an inch of water. Regrows back to full size or more within a few days. You can repeat this up to about 2-4 times if you have a good batch.”
Citrus peels. Just dry them — you can add them to a tea or place them in the dishwasher to get rid of soap stains on dishes. Peels sprinkled with salt are perfect for scrubbing soap scum off of the bathtub.
"My mom uses the leftover peels from the oranges we eat to make candied orange peels."
Berry seeds. You can put cherry seeds into a sock and heat it in the microwave to use as a heating pad. You can also plant them and grow new fruits.
“My wife took seeds from our fruits and vegetables last month and our used milk jugs and egg cartons to start a little indoor garden.”
Banana peels. They seem to be a universal treatment for anything. Banana peels remove warts, soften meat, prevent wrinkles, and whiten teeth. In most cases, all you need to do is apply a peel and wait for the results.
"Pepperoni made from banana peels. This is how I seduce meat-eaters."
Old clothes
“I made a bag, that universally fits under all major airline seats, out of old fabric, a vintage leather jacket, and parts from old purses.”
Usually, it’s almost new clothes that we have to say goodbye to most often because of a small stain, a tiny hole, or a pulled thread. However, these things can still be very useful for you.
T-shirts. Almost everyone already knows that you can make rugs and pillows from this clothing item. Moreover, most T-shirts are made of cotton and they can become good reusable rugs. Also, a T-shirt for an adult can easily become a T-shirt for a kid, while T-shirts for kids are perfect for small dogs and cats.
"A dress for my baby girl, cut from my old shirt. Crocheted an owl for embellishment."
Socks. Socks can be put over shoes so that they don’t get dirty when stored in a closet or on the legs of chairs so that they don’t scratch the floor. They can also be used as an organizer for little items. Put soap and the peels of citrus fruits inside the sock — and you will get an excellent remedy for moths, along with a neutralizer of odors.
Jeans. You can make a perfect organizer for storing small stuff from jean pockets and it can easily be adjusted to an armchair or a kitchen table. Trouser legs can be repurposed into a stylish backpack or even swings.
You can make a perfect organizer for storing small stuff from jean pockets and it can easily be adjusted to an armchair or a kitchen table. Trouser legs can be repurposed into a stylish backpack or even swings. Old dresses. Just like jeans, dresses can be turned into various useful things like pillowcases and rags. Or you can refresh it a little bit and continue wearing it.
"Beaded and appliqued this rust-stained dress and wore it to a wedding."
Construction waste
“My parents planted an apple tree when I was born. Sadly, the tree died a few weeks ago, so I made a bookshelf out of it.”
Though we might call it waste, some things that are left over from repairs or construction can be used to bring you benefits and help you save money.
Sacks. Use sacks from coal, sawdust, and macadam to make a garbage bin. Or you can make a tote bag or other useful things. By the way, product bags can be repurposed too.
"Upcycled my coffee bean bags into a tote bag."
Sawdust. It’s the perfect option for filling gift boxes that will be mailed — it will protect the contents from shaking and possible damage. You can also use sawdust to fight oil stains and for covering the soil in flower pots so that the moisture evaporates slower.
Boxes. Various boxes from construction materials and palettes can be repurposed as small stands and bookshelves.
"Got free empty crates from a local store and made the perfect bookshelves!"

brightside--2020-06-12--11 Things Parents Did That Ruined Their Kids’ Trust Forever

11 Things Parents Did That Ruined Their Kids ’ Trust Forever We recently published 7 stories about things parents did that made their kids stop trusting them .
It turned out that this topic was very relatable for our readers , and they left numerous comments under our post sharing similar stories from their childhood .
Some of them gave advice about forgiving these moms and dads because they probably didn ’ t mean to hurt their child .
But one of our readers , Svetlana Putkaradze , noted , “ No matter what we say , we remember childhood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might understand that everything is already behind us , and it ’ s time to forget , but we can ’ t do it , we can ’ t simply forget .
These grievances are somewhere in the background , and they still hurt .
They ’ re like a fly in the most amazing ointment.
” We at Bright Side decided to publish some of our readers ’ stories that may help parents of both small and grownup children look at themselves from the outside .
And this will probably help them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and change their attitude toward their own children .
There ’ s an insult that I still remind my mother of , even many years later .
We temporarily lived at my brother ’ s apartment because we were doing renovations at our place .
My mom , before going to work , asked me to go to the market .
I was on my way out the door , when I realized that the keys were missing .
All of the family members used to hang their keys on the key holder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whole flat and still couldn ’ t find them .
I called my mom and told her that I couldn ’ t find my keys , so I couldn ’ t just go and leave the door open .
As a response , I got a bunch of extremely negative remarks from her , saying that I was irresponsible and lazy .
I was only 18 years old !
And in the evening , it turned out that my brother had taken his and my keys , but didn ’ t notice it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they had taken extra keys .
My mom didn ’ t apologize , because I was “ lazy and irresponsible anyway.
” It has been 14 years , but I still remember everything .
© vectors_pd / adme I went to the store on a beautiful summer day .
I was 12 or 13 years old .
I had some change left after I finished shopping , and I was so filled with emotions , that I went to a flower shop .
I waited in line and bought daffodils for my mom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home to surprise her .
But she opened the door , saw my flowers , and my smiling face , and said , “ And why would you do that ?
!
” I still remember it today .
© Irina Zn / facebook At around 10-12 years old , I had been saving money for about a year .

We recently published 7 stories about things parents did that made their kids stop trusting them. It turned out that this topic was very relatable for our readers, and they left numerous comments under our post sharing similar stories from their childhood. Some of them gave advice about forgiving these moms and dads because they probably didn’t mean to hurt their child. But one of our readers, Svetlana Putkaradze, noted, “No matter what we say, we remember childhood grievances our whole lives. And we might understand that everything is already behind us, and it’s time to forget, but we can’t do it, we can’t simply forget. These grievances are somewhere in the background, and they still hurt. They’re like a fly in the most amazing ointment.”
We at Bright Side decided to publish some of our readers’ stories that may help parents of both small and grownup children look at themselves from the outside. And this will probably help them reconsider their methods for raising their children and change their attitude toward their own children.

There’s an insult that I still remind my mother of, even many years later. We temporarily lived at my brother’s apartment because we were doing renovations at our place. My mom, before going to work, asked me to go to the market. I was on my way out the door, when I realized that the keys were missing. All of the family members used to hang their keys on the key holder at the entrance. I searched the whole flat and still couldn’t find them. I called my mom and told her that I couldn’t find my keys, so I couldn’t just go and leave the door open. As a response, I got a bunch of extremely negative remarks from her, saying that I was irresponsible and lazy. I was only 18 years old! And in the evening, it turned out that my brother had taken his and my keys, but didn’t notice it. But I called everyone asking whether they had taken extra keys. My mom didn’t apologize, because I was “lazy and irresponsible anyway.” It has been 14 years, but I still remember everything. © vectors_pd / adme

I went to the store on a beautiful summer day. I was 12 or 13 years old. I had some change left after I finished shopping, and I was so filled with emotions, that I went to a flower shop. I waited in line and bought daffodils for my mom. I was so happy and ran home to surprise her. But she opened the door, saw my flowers, and my smiling face, and said, “And why would you do that?!” I still remember it today. © Irina Zn / facebook

At around 10-12 years old, I had been saving money for about a year. One day, my dad told me that we should convert it from coins to paper money, so it would be easier to store it. I gave the money to him and I never saw it again. When I asked him about it, my dad said that he didn’t even remember what happened to my money. That’s probably why I buy clothes like crazy. Because I could have money today, and it might disappear tomorrow. But at least I’ll have new shoes or clothes. © Natalia Rivera / facebook

My mom was always against me. She always supported other people and was never on my side. I’m 40 years old, and I have a very strained relationship with her, we’re almost like enemies. I can neither forget, nor forgive her insults from my childhood. © Christina / adme

When I was in school, I was accused of stealing my teacher’s wallet. I was only 11 years old, I didn’t do it, and I have no idea why she decided it was me. So I was accused in front of the whole class. They called my mom and... as a result, she had to transfer me to another school. And the most insulting thing was not the fact that everyone was looking at me and talking about me, it was that my mom didn’t even try to protect me and didn’t believe me. I’m an adult now, but I still can’t forgive her betrayal. I know that no matter what my child does, I’ll always be on their side and will believe their truth. It’s a pity that parents sometimes forget what it means to listen and to really hear their child. © Grecika Ana / facebook

I hate my childhood and the feeling of helplessness I had during this period. “You must tremblingly respect your elders, be obedient and grateful.” Any attempt to cry was stopped with the phrase, “Stop crying! Some people suffered worse and they didn’t cry, but you...” I can’t remember these moments calmly. © Alena Sidorenko / facebook

I also remembered a story from my childhood that influenced me. It seems silly, but I still remember it. When I was 9 years old, I changed my hairstyle using my new hairpin. I went to my mom to show it to her, but she looked at me and said, “You look so stupid with that hairstyle!” I still either keep my hair loose or wear it in a ponytail.

I was already doing some part-time work when I was 12 years old. I had dreamed of having a bicycle and I bought one. But my dad took it for himself, even though it had a “feminine” color. I still feel resentment about this. © Natalia Timoshenko / facebook
***
I remember that when I was 7 years old, my mom told me, “I’ll punish you for lying and not for your actions.” Next time I did something wrong and honestly confessed, and I was punished anyway... Since then, I preferred to not reveal the whole truth. © Olga Aksyonova / adme

I remember that when I was 5 years old, I started composing poetry. It wrote itself and it was very easy to come up with something. I was embarrassed to tell my mom about it for a long time, but then I finally read her my poem. She told me that it was wrong to lie to her and tell her that I had composed it myself. After that, I’ve never written a poem, it’s like this ability was cut off. © Natalia Bogdanova / facebook

My mom read my diary, and my dad found out about it. He punished me for nothing! I was friends with a boy, and we saw each other a couple of times. But my dad decided that it was too early for me (I was in the 8th grade) and he punished me by calling me a bad name. Although I’ve forgiven him, I’m still deeply offended inside! And yes, I’m 71 years old. © Lyudmila Lukin / facebook

Unfortunately, modern parents also sometimes do things that may make their children hide resentment in their hearts. Here are just a few examples: At work, we, adult ladies, started arguing about the diaries and private messages of our children. I’ll never forget a woman saying, “Only maniacs keep diaries, so we HAVE TO read them!” Another woman said that she sees nothing wrong with reading her 4th-grade son’s diary. And another woman told us, word-for-word, about the personal correspondence of her 16-year-old teenage son. So here are some modern examples for you. © Nataliia Lavrenova / facebook
When my kids were at school, the principal and the head teachers at a school meeting with parents urged parents to watch their children — search their pockets, backpacks, dressers, and go through their phones. When I (I was almost the only one, by the way. There was one other dad who supported me.) said that the teachers were urging us to do things that have always been considered shameful and indecent like peeping and eavesdropping, everyone started shushing at me and making noise. My argument about the fact that, “If our child ever finds out about these actions, we’ll lose their trust forever,” didn’t work. The headmaster spoke with authority, claiming that it is essential because all children can potentially get into serious trouble and only total surveillance can save them. At home, I told my boys about this, and they didn’t even take it seriously. My children are 32 and 29 years old now, and I have good relationships with them. © Alexandra Schukina / facebook

Not knowing yourself fully is something that’s more common than you might think. And, no doubt, your whole life will be full of self-discovery. But there are so many parts of your personality that lie within you that it wouldn’t hurt to get a little bit of help speeding up this process.
Bright Side is interested in helping you discover different aspects of your personality, so we put together this test especially for you so that you can get to know yourself a little better.
What did you see first?
1.
The lock : You love to explore what you don’t know, learn new things, and get out of your comfort zone. You may be interested in someone, so be sure to talk to that person.
The crying figure: You need to pay more attention to your feelings and listen to your wishes. At the same time, you need time to relax and clear your mind.
2.
The face : You are a social person and curious about the lives of others. For you, everything is unique and interesting. You pay attention to what is, instead of the details.
The fish: You are happy with your life. You believe in luck and a happy future. For you, the glass is always half full and details are very important to you.
3.
An open door: You are ready for changes and are going in the right direction. You face the future without fear but rather, excitement. You are a source of inspiration for others.
The musical note: Expressing yourself is important to you. You feel you have something important to share with the world. Don’t look back and take risks.
4.
Ancient columns: It may be a little difficult for you to get out of your comfort zone. You tend to be quiet and afraid of opinions and views other than your own. Cheer up, you can do more than you think.
People: You are a confident person and are clear about what a perfect life would be like, and you do everything to achieve it. You don’t overthink things and you are always there to help others.
5.
A face: The most important things in your life are your intuition, joy, wisdom, satisfaction, and curiosity.
An apple: You are a very correct person in terms of behavior, attitude, and relationships.
A sitting person: Being lively and balanced are important characteristics of your way of being.
6.
A car: The world is full of mysteries to you. It is also made of many different things that always stimulate your imagination.
A person with binoculars: You are nice to others, and are not critical of them or yourself.
The letter “A”: Your mood swings are real, but not extreme. You can go from happy to sad. Remember to balance life and work.
7.
A crocodile: Your life is full of many colors and you have a creative approach to everything.
Mountains and water: You are neither very conventional nor very individualistic. You are usually optimistic and tend to be constructive.
People on a boat: You are sociable and get along well with others. You are adventurous and adapt easily to social situations.
8.
Rabbit: You are more of a technical person than a caring one because the left hemisphere of your brain is dominant.
Duck: In this case, the right hemisphere of your brain dominates the left, so you are very “human” when it comes to your personality.
9.
Cat heading upstairs: You don’t pay attention to details. You’re probably a little bit messy and naive. You believe in everything you see and this makes you love life.
Cat heading downstairs: You are an attentive person and have good intuition. You pay a lot of attention to detail and like a challenge.
10.
An old lady: You’re an experienced person. You have a critical mind, and you analyze life from every point of view.
A young woman: You are an optimist and impulsive. You’re also happy.

Some actors are so good, that playing just one role in one movie isn’t enough. For example, in The Nutty Professor, Eddie Murphy played not only Sherman Klump, the main character, but he also played his mom, dad, grandmother, and a couple more relatives, which makes 7 different roles in total. Or Cate Blanchett, who portrayed 13 various characters in the movie, Manifesto. It’s amazing, but these are not the only surprising examples of “chameleon” actors who brilliantly transformed into multiple characters in the same movie or TV show.
Bright Side found 15 great actors who played more than one role in the same production. Let’s check how observant you are based on how many examples you’re familiar with.

”

There are many women who run toward men their mothers always warned them about. It seems nature takes over these girls and pushes them to start dating boys with personalities that only mean trouble. Thanks to research, we now know why this happens and why good girls choose to date those who can easily get them into trouble.
Bright Side is sharing scientific proof of why women can easily become blinded by men who have characteristics of a “bad boy” personality.
Girls love self-confidence in men.
These wicked boys wouldn’t have the power to attract girls if their level of confidence was low. The point is that the level of confidence they possess is so high, it seems like their attitude is overflowing with it, which can be seen in their friends, the vehicle they drive, the food they choose to eat, and so much more.
Ovulation pushes girls toward troublesome boys.
Women fall for bad boys because it’s in their nature. Science says that when a woman is in her ovulation stage, her hormones influence who she sees as a great father figure for her future children. Near ovulation time, girls are attracted to good looking, charismatic, and rebellious boys.
The “bad boy” personality is more attractive.
They simply don’t care about anything. For them, there’s no rule book or specific rules they follow. They make their own rules and it seems like they always live on the edge. Even though they love to be in control and are passionate about their own beliefs, they still know the right way to treat a lady and make her feel pretty good.
Ladies search for an adventurous and fun spirit.
One of the signature characteristics of a “bad boy” is a love for adventure and excitement. For women, it seems that if a man is not living a wild life, it means they’re not suitable for them. They just can’t get enough of that adventurous spirit.
Women feel protected around them.
Girls choose bad boys over others because they want a male figure that they can be protected by. Most women who feel vulnerable and are afraid of crime search for a man who can protect them. In fact, their strong physical appearance is why women feel secure around them.
Girls choose attractive men over nice ones.
In one study, women were given scripts with profiles from 2 different men and they had to choose which one they preferred. Most of the women picked the profile with good physical attributes while the nice guy wasn’t often the final pick. Thanks to this research, we now know that the nice characteristic becomes a salient factor when choosing a partner for a serious relationship and instead, it’s the manipulative characteristic that bad boys have that looks more attractive.
They free the “bad girl.”
A psychologist, Robyn McKay, Ph.D., explains that girls who have a concealed inner rebellious side are easily attracted to men who can release that out of them. Usually, in girls, this trait was suppressed during childhood and one of the easiest ways for them to get it all out is to start dating a rebellious guy.

There are double standards in society when it comes to makeup. When people see a woman who wears makeup, they may perceive her as fake and even “cheap,” but if a woman doesn’t apply any makeup at all, she may be considered a wallflower who doesn’t want to attract men’s attention.

For some reason, it might be hard for some people to imagine that a fan of classical literature may not be a boring, timid person, but rather, the funniest woman at the company. And conversely, a hard-core party girl may not be a dumb bimbo, but rather, a straight-A student and the pride and joy of a prestigious university!

Today, so many people are willing to give unsolicited advice that everyone is at risk of being attacked.

The appearance of a person often plays a key role in our attitude toward them. So a cute girl who has numerous cats at home may be seen as an ideal of kindness and sympathy for animals.

Kindergarten teachers are ready to help families who can’t take care of their children full-time because of their employment. And sometimes, parents have to fully take responsibility for their child’s education. But “experts” in psychology will find something terribly wrong with each of these situations.

I was in a rush to get to a job interview. I was almost running when I saw a guy next to me. We were both walking really fast, but I was a little bit faster. I got to the door, opened it, and held it open for him to enter. Then, I had the interview, talked to the recruiter, and the next stage was a conversation with the boss. I go into the office and see the guy from the street. The recruiter didn’t even have a chance to leave before the boss said, “We’re hiring him, no need for the interview.
