The world of cinema attracts a lot of attention. Fans of American blockbusters are counted by millions, and thanks to this there are few also interested in the best kept secrets of this industry. Who is not curious to know about the life of such important and influential people? The personal life of famous actors and actresses is usually public, much more thanks to social networks. But we know little about his working life.
How much did the protagonist of that movie that you like so much? What film fell in love with the fashion couple? What actors were going to go out in some famous movie and in the end they couldn't? What actress is the most sympathetic? It seems that the most cinephiles have never enough data of this type, right? Some curiosities are already general culture, such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie met in "Mr. And Mrs. Smith ”, or that Heath Ledger was the first actor to win a posthumous Oscar for his incredible role as Joker. But many others are still secret until someone decides to tell them.
And as we know that you are also interested, we bring you some curiosities about these superstars of the interpretation:
The actors who feel pigeonholed by their beauty
If there is something that we would like more than one, it is too handsome. A priori has no disadvantages, right? Because more than one actor and actress would not agree.
Jon Hamm It is one of them. The actor known for his role in ‘Mad Men’ as Don Drapper, one of Manhattan's best publicists. Hamm's good admitted that they look too much in their beauty and do not value sufficiently what it is capable of doing at the level of interpretation. In Jon himself: "I contribute more than what I appear physically, it is a daily struggle to prove it. It is obviously pleasant that people tell me that I am attractive, but sometimes it comes with an indirect malignant below."
We also have actresses in this humble guild, such as Charlize Theron. The South African-American actress has tried to be valued by her talent and not for her beauty. "The works with real depth go to the people who are physically suitable for them and end point. How many jobs are there out for the stunning model of more than two meters that carries fucking gala dresses? When there are papers with chicha, I have been in that room and I know that the beautiful people are rejected the first."
We return to the male gender; Rob Lowe. The American actor complained in an interview with the New York Times in an open and sincere way: "There is an incredible prejudice against, in quotes, attractive people, according to which they cannot feel pain or have hard lives or be deep or interesting.
Finally, another of the women who showed his frustration when he was harmed by his beauty is Scarlett Johansson. The actress has tried to interpret roles in which she allowed them to highlight her talent as an artist as in ‘Her’, where he was only heard.
"That happened to me before, yes. It is always an unfortunate problem. 'Why can't you see me?'
The 5 actors who died and "resurrected" to finish their films
The cinematographic world is art, talent and, above all, magic. A magic that can resurrect a dead or replace it. The latter is what really represents the magic to which we refer and that it has made it possible for more than one tape to move forward thanks to technological advances.
Surely many names come to mind, but we are going to remind you of the most popular and the context in which they took place.
1- Paul Walker
The American actor died in a traffic accident in November 2013 at the age of 40. A loss that ravaged the world of cinema and that caused the filming of "Fast and Furious 7" to stop for a few months even to seriously consider cancellation. In his place his brothers, Caleb and Cody appeared, with whom Paul kept a huge resemblance and ventured to participate in the tape to finish it. More than 260 shots in which his faces were replaced by CGI, technology that allowed production to save.
2- Philip Seymour Hoffman
The actor was found dead in his apartment in February 2014. His loss coincided with the filming of the last two tapes of “The Hunger Games” Mocking Part 1 and Part 2. His character was one of the most important in the saga and the last shots were still to be recorded. However, Francis Lawrence did not believe a good idea to try to use CGI technology, so he decided to modify the script to respect his character.
3- Oliver Reed
One of the most outstanding characters of "Gladiator" also lost his life prematurely after a night departure at age 61. Oliver had finished his workday in the filming of the film and decided to go out to clear. A death that broke with the film's schemes since, although some script changes were made, there were two scenes where next, his character could not be replaced so they tried not to show his face too clearly with dark scenes.
4- Carrie Fisher
The mythical Star Wars saga also suffered collateral damage by experiencing the decline of one of its actresses. Carrie Fisher died after a heart attack in December 2016, a few months after finishing "Star Wars: the last Jedi." The problem was that Lucasfilm was very difficult to finish Skywalker's saga without his character, so they turned to footage not used in "the awakening of force" to honor her. Therefore it is explained that its appearance is so discreet.
5- Marlon Brando
Despite having died two years before the filming of "Superman Returns", the character of Jor-El, was again played by his person. The idea was to resort to already recorded scenes using special effects that would camouflage it in order to have it. And so it was, the good of Brando reappeared in 2006 despite having died in 2004. A fact that was a milestone in the cinema taking into account the CGI technology that was counted at that time.
Although they have passed to better life, these actors and their characters will remain forever in collective memory. And thanks to the magic of cinema, they have been dismissed in the best possible way: getting their work. Here are some parodied t -shirts of the sagas that starred:

The actors who rejected roles in successful films
This news is a classic. We never stop to think about how our favorite films would be with other actors, right? Well, on many occasions, the actors who almost participate in a movie are much more recognized than those who ended up participating. Sometimes for money, for discrepancies with the director, for incompatibility of agenda ... Here are the most popular cases:
Adrien Brody He refused to be Frodo. According to the actor, at that time "I was looking for other things." We will never know how Hobbit's suit would have sat, but it is he who stays with that doubt.
Christina Applegate dismissed to participate in ‘A very legal blonde ’. Yes, it is not a mythical production like the previous one, but it was one of the best films of the year 2001, becoming “best film” for the Golden Globes. In addition, the delivery gave rise to two sequelae and raised 10 times more than invested, so Applegate would have secured a good salary.
Will Smith did not want to be a participant of ‘Matrix’ As you are reading it, one of the greatest living legends of cinema did not understand the film's argument and preferred not to make neo. This, in turn, caused Keanu Reeves to be for the rest of his life. Instead, Will's good preferred to shoot "Wild Wild West."
Emma Watson could not roll ‘LA LA LAND’ If you are looking for a why, the answer is simple and somewhat crazy: interferences in the filming of "Beauty and the Beast." The best actresses always have the schedule somewhat occupied and in this case it was not going to be less.
Leonardo Di Caprio It passed from ‘American Psycho’ The actor preferred to make a teenager hooked to marijuana for the tape "the beach." However, Di Caprio had already triumphed in "Titanic" or "Romeo and Julieta." His role was replaced in "American Psycho" by Christian Bale.
