8 Celebrities You Won’t Recognize As Teens

And since celebrities are people too, they have their share of pictures they’re not particularly proud of. Take a look at these 8 celebrities you won’t recognize as teens.

Before becoming an actress, filmmaker and humanitarian, Angelina Jolie was once a young student. She now holds the title of Hollywood’s best paid actress, and it’s no secret she earns anywhere between ten to fifteen million dollars per movie. She broke the ice and became famous wide world in 2001 with “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” and since then she played a wide variety of roles, from badass chicks to vulnerable mothers.

This might be a difficult one, but can you guess who that is? Three times Golden Globe Award winner and two times Academy award winner, George Clooney was no stranger to unflattering haircuts or glasses. But he looks like an optimistic kid. Maybe he knew what was in store for him. He became widely successful with “Ocean’s Eleven” and then his career just took off.

Yes, Johnny Depp rocked the bad boy attitude straight out of high school. The 52 year old actor, producer and musician was first introduced to the American audiences through the TV show “21 Jump Street”, which transformed him into a teen idol overnight. “Edward Scissorhands” quickly established him as a pretty boy and from there on he got bigger roles and fatter pay checks.

The best paid actor of 2015, Robert Downey Jr looks dashing in this photo of him as a young man.

Even more, he became extremely famous playing roles like Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes.

Any idea who this kid playing a video game in his room is? Here’s a hint: the poster on his wall is actually a film he starred in, besides “The Dark Knight’ and “The Machinist”, of course. If you guessed Christian Bale, you’re right. The English actor first received great critical acclaim for his role in “American Psycho”. Since then he’s appeared both in blockbusters and smaller, independent films.

Best known for her roles in “Fight Club”, “The King’s speech” and all the other Tim Burton movies, Helena Bonham Carter is a two time Academy Award nominee.

She was the perfect choice for  “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”, “Alice in Wonderland”, and “Dark Shadows”.

If you’re not a fan of “Boardwalk Empire”, this one might be tricky for you. Steve Buscemi is an actor, director and writer who played in five movies of the Cohen brothers.

6 A Listed Actors With Mommy Issues

August 5, 2015 By Vernon Gadson Leave a Comment

If you dread the  thought of going home for the holidays because you have to spend time with your family, you’re not the only one. Check out these 6 A listed actors with mommy issues and keep them in mind next time your grandmother gets tipsy on Thanksgiving and asks you for the umpteenth time when you’re getting married and having a kid. Find the strength in the following examples to not give in to family emotional blackmail at the next Christmas party. Not only did these celebrities manage to leave all their troubles behind, but they’re now making enough money to stay in therapy for years.

#1 Jack Nicholson

6 A Listed Actors With Mommy Issues

The three time Academy Award winner only found out who his real mother is when he was thirty seven years old. And not because she thought it was high time she told him, but because TIME Magazine thought it was high time he was told. And also make a lot of money from publishing the story. It turns out Nicholson’s alleged mother, Ethel May, was actually his grandmother and his sister, June, was actually his mother. Umm, does this sound like a telenovela plot twist to anyone else? Apparently June relinquished baby Jack’s custody in order to continue her career as a dancer. What is more, Nicholson’s father already had a wife when he married June. And you thought your eccentric aunt coming to visit was bad news?

#2 Kelsey Grammer

6 A Listed Actors With Mommy Issues

The Grammer family’s history sounds like a horror story. Kelsey’s father was shot twice in 1968 after he was lured out of his house. This was followed by his younger sister being killed in 1975 when Kelsey was required to identify the body. Five years later, two half brothers of Kelsey died in a scuba diving accident. Oh, we forgot to mention Grammer was married and divorced three times. But that pales in comparison with the more tragic events in his family. Which still leaves us with the question: were the Grammers gangsters?

#3 Tobey Maguire

6 A Listed Actors With Mommy Issues

The son of two poor parents, Maguire was passed from relative to another relative in his childhood. His father, Vincent, took custody of his nieces after their mother died of cancer. Trying to find new means to provide for his family, Vincent robbed a bank but was caught shortly after.

#4 Alec Baldwin

6 A Listed Actors With Mommy Issues

Although Baldwin was born and grew up comfortably in a family of actors, his behavior towards his daughter indicates he has some real issues. In a leaked voicemail we can hear him brutally insulting his daughter, who was eleven years old at the time, calling her a “rude thoughtless pig”. His outrageous behavior was caused by his daughter missing their scheduled phone call. Baldwin subsequently apologized for his outburst, but the leaked tape still affected his custody trial with his former wife, Kim Basinger. That should teach him some manners.

#5 Charlize Theron

6 A Listed Actors With Mommy Issues

Theron was fifteen years old when her alcoholic father went into a fit of drunkenly rage while waiving a gun and firing randomly through his house, not caring about his wife or daughter getting hurt. In self defense, Charlize’s mother shot her husband dead and managed to protect her teenage daughter who was hiding in her room. The Oscar winner actress praises her mother to this day for her courage.

#6 Demi Moore

6 A Listed Actors With Mommy Issues

Moore and her mother, Virginia, were abandoned by her father before she was born. Virginia was a bipolar alcoholic who was incapable of taking care of herself, let alone of baby Demi. So Moore was brought up by her stepfather. The latter wasn’t all milk and honey either. He had his own problems which he could only fix by killing himself. Virginia was still a drug addict when Demi broke off their relationship. From there on her mother started posing nude for porno magazines, parodying her daughter as an actress and model. The two women reconciled just before Virginia passed away.

The Weird Stuff that Actors Do in Almost Every Movie

March 4, 2015 By This Blog Rules Guest Leave a Comment

It is easy to think that actors are paid to, you know, act. This would in theory mean that they appear to be completely different people every time you see them.

Yet, some of the world’s most famous actors have little habits, traits or customs that appear to crop up in just about all of their movies.

Sean Bean Dies a Lot

The Weird Stuff that Actors Do in Almost Every Movie

The Evidence: Patriot Games, Goldeneye, Equilibrium, Lord of the Rings, The Island, Black Death

There´s a lot to like about the idea of becoming Sean Bean. As well as having a surname that makes you sound like a common ingredient in Mexican food there is also the vague but tantalizing possibility that you are a relative of the Mr Bean. However, it seems clear that the single best thing about life as Sean would be that you only ever need to read part of the script for any movie or TV show. You would turn up to the audition with a long, flowing leather jacket or historical garb and just ask, “So, what page do I die on?” Bingo, you get the part and you don’t even need to read the whole flipping script.

Tom Cruise Runs a Lot

The Weird Stuff that Actors Do in Almost Every Movie

The Evidence: Jerry Maguire, Mission Impossible, Collateral, Vanilla Sky, The Firm

It must be tiring being Thomas Cruise Mapother IV. As well as jumping up and down on Oprah’s sofa, it seems that he is also contractually obliged to run in every single movie he appears in, even when it is completely and utterly inappropriate to do so.  Some of his running scenes also just seem to go on forever. Check out the exhausting and bizarrely compelling way he just keeps on running and running and freaking running through Dubai and Shanghai in the Mission Impossible films. I needed a lie down and several liters of those crappy sports drinks after watching those running sequences.

Johnny Depp Wears a Ridiculous Amount of Headgear

The Weird Stuff that Actors Do in Almost Every Movie

The Evidence: Pirates of the Caribbean, Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Public Enemies

Could I politely enquire as to how often you have seen the top of Johnny Depp’s head? You might initially think that you have seen his delightful crown on a regular basis but I can assure you that you have bloody well not. Unless you are his hairdresser or, and this is the crucial point, his hideously overworked hat-maker. You see, Master Depp has a penchant for wearing headgear in all possible situation and places, no matter how silly it may appear. Creepy character from ye olden times? Stick a hat on it. Camp pirate? Cover that crown. Anything else ever? Call that hat maker and let your headgear fantasies come true.

Brad Pitt Eats Totally Everything

The Weird Stuff that Actors Do in Almost Every Movie

The Evidence: Ocean’s Eleven, Meet Joe Black, Mr and Mr Smith, Moneyball, Johnny Suede

Maybe you have already heard a rumor about Brad eating in all of his movies but couldn’t quite bring yourself to believe it. After all, eating is gross and Brad is like so un-gross it actually hurts. Well, I hate to shatter your illusions but if you check out the list of things he has eaten on screen you will find burgers, sandwiches, potato chips, bagels, carrots, and every single foodstuff ever invented by man. No one knows why he does this, although I have a theory that stands up to scrutiny. I reckon that sneaky old Pitt is too busy looking good to waste time consuming edible goods in his own time. Instead, he demands that his character spends all day stuffing his pretty face. In this way, he fills his tank at work and can go home to just relax and steam his face in unicorn crap or whatever he does to stay so handsome.

Jack Nicholson Shows You His Teeth

The Weird Stuff that Actors Do in Almost Every Movie

The Evidence: The Shining, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Batman, Seriously, do I need to go on…?

Did you know that Jack Nicholson has teeth? If you have ever seen at least 20 seconds of one of his movies then yes you do. From maniacal grins to cheeky smirks and charming smiles, Jack has cornered the market in onscreen dental displays so much that he is surrounded by a team of “smile reflection protection agents” who hand out free sunglasses to passersby. Probably.

Five of the Highest Paid Actors at Hollywood

June 10, 2014 By Fred Mitchell Leave a Comment

By now, we all know that being an actor (and a famous one) has many, many perks, not the least of which is having a ridiculously large salary. The truth is that with movies that are box-office hits, why would the actors not be entitled to a big slice of the pie? Talent is rare and actors have to improvise a lot on sets in order to bring characters to life, and when all is said and done, could we picture God as someone else than Morgan Freeman? These actors give life to their characters and make them unforgettable. So here are five of the highest paid actors in Hollywood:

Robert Downey Jr.

download (1)

Hit machine Robert Downey Junior tops the list, being the highest paid actor at Hollywood according to Forbes- he’s already starred in six great movies (and each of them grossed at least $500 million at the box-office). In fact, Iron Man and The Avengers doubled that figure, earning well over $1 billion. With such amazing earnings, Downey has reportedly received an estimated $75 million between June of 2012 and June of 2013. For The Avengers, Downey was given the largest chunk of profits (even larger than the director, Joss Whedon) and has already ensured that he will receive an upfront payday once they start filming the sequel.

Channing Tatum

download (5)

Earning $15 million less than Downey, a figure of $60 million is certainly worth noticing, especially since his earnings are because of his smart business decisions. When he and director Steven Soderbergh decided to self-finance a movie based on the actors’ past as a male stripper, Magic Mike hit it big and they also got a big fat check. So much so that the movie is now a franchise and has its own Broadway show.

Hugh Jackman

download (2)

This acting-singing-dancing sensation of a man, with abs of steel and the smile of the sweetest gentleman is number three on our list, earning $55 million. Best known for his roles as Wolverine and Jean Valjean, he has not only earned himself an Oscar nomination but also brought his audience to tears with his breathtaking performance in Les Miserables. Moreover, the talented actor is also trying his hand at business and his tea and coffe company (Laughing Man) is not only doing well, but also donating all its profits to charity.

Mark Wahlberg

download (3)

Mark was one of the unexpected entries in 2013 when his hit movie Ted, where a teddy bear not only comes to life but also grows up, earned a staggering $550 million in the box-office. Mila Kunis, Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane were also earned a well-deserved share of the winnings. What this movie also did for him is set him up for the Transformers blockbuster, set to hit theaters in 2014.

Dwayne Johnson

download (4)

Better known as The Rock earned a whopping $46 million and when his movie, Fast & Furious 6 stayed in the box office top ten for over ten weeks, it was clear that he’d struck gold. He’s now moving into TV productions with a new reality show called The Hero (where ordinary people are asked to play the hero in certain situations).

Bonus-Angelina Jolie

download (6)

You’ve surely noticed that there is no woman in our list so we decided to add the highest paid actress into this list, although it’s clear that actresses are not only under-represented but also paid significantly less than men. With $33 million in earnings, her winnings are indeed enormous but pale in comparison to those of Robert Downing Jr. The obvious question everyone has on his lips is: why?

He hope you enjoyed our list of highest paid actors in Hollywood. Do you think they deserve their earnings? We would love to hear your opinions on the matter!

The 10 Greatest Performances of Johnny Depp

May 11, 2012 By Vernon Gadson 2 Comments

Today sees the release of supernatural vampire comedy “Dark Shadows,” director Tim Burton’s big-screen adaptation of the gothic soap opera of the same name that aired from 1966-1971. To mark its release, I thought I’d take a look at the ten finest on-screen performances of its leading man: Johnny Depp, the 48-year-old acting chameleon and global megastar whose 28-year career has seen him playing oddball outsiders, murderous madmen and actual chameleons in drug-addled dramas, quirky comedies, gothic horrors and computer-animated family flicks. Let’s begin. [Read more…]
