In real life, even the fiercest men on screen might have the softest hearts. On this list, the majority of the actors have performed roles that are totally at odds with who they really are. Find out which actors will surprise you with their actual personalities despite their on-screen personas by refusing to let their appearance fool you.
1. Danny Trejo
Dany Trejo is well-recognised for portraying the bad guy. He looks good in the bad guy persona, but in actual life, he couldn’t be more different. By taking part in many charities and performing nice things that make him the ultimate good guy in real life, he exploits his famous profile to set a good example.
2. The Rock — Dwayne Johnson
Dwayne Johnson is a sweetheart below his tough-guy exterior. Being a father is his favourite role of all, and this action movie star would sacrifice anything for his three girls.
On social media, The Rock doesn’t hesitate to be himself. Here are some of our favourite photos we have of him from Instagram.
3. Jamie Dornan
One of the most appealing males on the big screen is Jamie Dornan. But despite his assured demeanour, he might be reluctant to draw attention to himself. Even yet, he has acknowledged having anxieties about things like his gait. Something that serves as a reminder that even the most assured actor is only human.
4. Tom Felton
We had conflicting emotions towards Tom Felton’s portrayal of the villain Draco Malfoy. But even if he tried, this huge Harry Potter fan would not resemble his persona. He’s absolutely not a member of Team Slytherin in real life. He would rather play music and spend time with his pets than cast the patronus of the spectrum.
Tom is hardly the only upright character that has portrayed a villain. Our favourite villains with good hearts can be found here.
5. Bryan Cranston
Bryan Cranston has a lot of character traits and could play the antagonist in an action movie. But he prefers to maintain his composure in his personal life. He has been praised for being friendly and humorous as well as for never forgetting his roots.
6. Keanu Reeves
The actor and his John Wick character are only similar in that they both would go to any lengths for their pets. The action movie star is undoubtedly a more modest individual who uses his own example to motivate others.
7. Liev Schreiber
Don’t be fooled by Liev’s rough exterior. His nickname has been “Huggy” since he was a little child, and despite his stern exterior, he is a soft-hearted person on the inside.
8. Tom Hiddleston
Tom Hiddleston truly went through the audition process to be the superhero Thor. Although his personality is more like a real-life hero, he ended up playing the bad boy.
9. Alan Rickman
The real Alan Rickman has nothing to do with Severus Snape. The actor was an extremely generous person who devoted most of his time to helping numerous charities. Learn all about his personal life here.
10. Leighton Meester
Blair, Leighton Meester’s most well-known character, is not the real her. She had more modest beginnings than the spoilt socialite she plays, and this has helped her, despite her fame in Hollywood, to always keep her feet on the ground.
11. Henry Cavill
Like a cabinet of curiosities, Henry Cavill is. His strong character roles have been made possible by his masculine features. Henry, on the other hand, prefers to keep things calm and spend time with his pets or playing video games.
For their jobs, actors put in a lot of effort, and some even go above and above. Here are people who lost their identity as a result of a role they played.
