There are dozens of TV show characters that become immensely popular either due to their great looks, witty remarks or downright awful attitude. But we often forget that no matter how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ these characters are, people that portray them are actually quite different in real life. Some actors and actresses look as hot as they do on screen, others are more down to earth and demure. Yet there are those who are nothing like their on-screen personas. Here are 10 stars that are hard to recognize in real life.

People love Batman for one reason or another, and recently with all the Nolan movies getting the status of “iconic”, it became clear to me that the Dark Knight of Gotham is not going anywhere anytime soon, which is great.

Ugh… this is a sad subject, and some of the causes of death may hit too close to home, so you’ve been warned. But still, let’s get on with it.

A lot of great, weird and even crazy things came out of the 90s. Most of them, like the funny phrases that never made much sense, are long gone now. Along with all the cool gadgets and nerdy toys. Do you remember beepers and the cool-looking boomboxes? And what about Treasure Trolls and Tamagotchi? While all these things are now part of the past, our teen heartthrobs are still rocking the screens and stages. Well, at least some of them. Here’s a list of 10 hotties from the 90s who have still got the looks.

Cartoons come in all shapes and sizes. For boys, for girls, for adults, for kids, for adolescents, … There’s something out there for everyone.

When we watch a movie we only see the end result of the hard work of the actors, directors, SFX magicians, and countless other vital staff members, but most of us don’t even stop and wonder “how did that guy manage to nail this character so perfectly? Maybe being an actor is easier than I thought?” Well, the short answer is “it’s not”. Not easy at all, especially if you, as an actor, fully submerge yourself into the character and become one with that character.

Perhaps the biggest change in Hollywood the last 10-or-so years (apart from the endless reboots and remakes) has been the social redemption of nerds. While some of these may not look like much on the screen, every single one of them is attractive by pretty much any standard today.

Not every movie can be the next blockbuster or instant classic, let’s face it. Celebrities work hard to become popular and rich. Sometimes they take part in awful movie projects, and even the celebrity cameo can’t save a bad movie from its epic fail.
