The late and legendary Alan Rickman portrayed a character in “Love Actually” who initially garnered our sympathy. When we first encountered Harry, he appeared as a devoted husband, but the allure of another woman captivated his attention, ultimately leading to the demise of his marriage. Rickman might not look very different, but the persona could not be further from Snape. In contrast to Harry from Love Actually, Professor Snape is dark, cold, and doesn’t show any kind of love until his final moments.<\/p>\n

However, upon closer examination of the visual evidence, you’ll discover the striking resemblance in the pictures.

Most only recognize Isaacs with icy platinum hair in his role of Lucius Malfoy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya; you killed my father, prepare to die.” With his distinctively fluffy hair and mustache, one would never fathom that the same actor portrays both Indigo Montoya from “The Princess Bride” and Jason Gideon from “Criminal Minds.” The stark contrast between these characters exemplifies the incredible range and versatility of the actor’s talent. However, Mandy Patinkin brought both characters to life. While Indigo Montoya is a criminal, Jason Gideon is a person who catches criminals.<\/p>\n

When Julie Walters portrayed Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter series, she effortlessly captivated our hearts. Her portrayal of a nurturing mother and devoted wife was truly exceptional. Despite the challenges faced by her family, she remained steadfast and resilient, radiating strength throughout. Walters will always be Mrs. Weasley with her auburn hair, so it’s hard to picture her in any other role. It’s amazing what a wig, glasses, and a new wardrobe can do for someone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Catherine O’Hara gained significant recognition for her portrayal of Kate McCallister, the perpetually occupied mother who unintentionally left her son behind during the family’s vacation in Home Alone. Her late-’80s\/early-’90s style and hair were perfect. O’Hara’s role might have been minor, but she can’t be missed.

<\/p>\n

Stanley Tucci’s portrayal of Cesar Flickerman in the Hunger Games series showcased his remarkable chameleon-like abilities. The character, known for his frequent changes in hair and makeup, serves as the charismatic host of the Hunger Games. In this character, Tucci is liked by many people and makes the tributes feel safe, which is far from George Harvey’s persona. In The Lovely Bones, Tucci portrays the creepy neighbor who killed Suzie Salmon Tucci’s compelling performance truly embodied the essence of a typical serial killer, leaving an indelible impression on the audience.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Upon glimpsing a picture of Emma Thompson, one might easily find themselves doubting her portrayal of either of these characters. In Nanny McPhee, she plays this ugly nanny who slowly becomes more beautiful as the children learn to behave. By the final scene, Thompson looks like her beautiful self.

<\/p>\n

If you’re familiar with Netflix’s series “The Crown,” then you’ll be aware that Claire Foy portrayed the youthful Queen Elizabeth during the initial two seasons. Although she was supposed to be young she did dress a little frumpy and conservative for her age, but that was the Queen’s style. However, Foy played another role where she looked completely different. In “The Girl in the Spider’s Web,” Claire Foy takes on the role of Lisbeth Salander. The only commonality between these characters lies in their similar-sounding names.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bryan Cranston’s portrayal of Hal in “Malcolm in the Middle” was undeniably iconic, but it isn’t the role he is primarily recognized for. The majority of people associate Cranston with his character Walter White from “Breaking Bad,” and these two roles are starkly different when it comes to their lifestyles. They might be family men, but that is where the similarities end.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the later installments of the Harry Potter film series, Nymphadora Tonks possesses the ability to shift her shape, allowing her to transform into any individual she desires.

<\/p>\n

Oscar Isaac takes on the role of Poe Dameron in the Star Wars series, and he exudes a remarkable handsomeness throughout these films.

However, for his role in X-Men: Apocalypse, he took on a much different face.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Helena Bonham Carter portrayed Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter series, a character we loved to hate. She infamously eliminates the last remaining family member Harry had, leaving a lasting impact on the story. For the role, she was messy, disheveled, and evil-looking. Carter is incredibly talented, which is why some people didn’t know she was the same actress in The Crown. In The Crown, she played Princess Margaret in the more recent seasons, and she is much more polished and put together.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Linda Cardellini might not be the most popular actress, but she has played some memorable roles. In Scooby-Doo, she portrayed Velma, the intellectual investigator known for her nerdy demeanor.

<\/p>\n

Heath Ledger was an exceptional actor of his era, showcasing a diverse range of roles before his tragic passing. Among his repertoire, two of his performances stood in stark contrast to one another.

<\/p>\n

John Travolta possesses such a distinctive voice and facial features that it remains quite effortless to recognize him as the same actor. Nevertheless, it’s remarkable to note the significant time gap between the filming of Grease when Travolta was merely 23 years old, and Hairspray which was shot nearly 30 years later. Travolta aged during that time, but with all those prosthetics, that wouldn’t show. Travolta looked ridiculous as a woman, which made his character all the more hilarious.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Among the roster of superheroes we are familiar with, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stands out as one of the most understated. In the movie Kick-Ass, he took on the role of Kick-Ass, transforming into the real-life embodiment of the superheroes he idolized in his comic books. He was probably reading about Quicksilver in some of those comics, which might have been an easter-egg for his next role.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Given the substantial four-decade age gap between these two movies, it’s understandable that most people would not perceive any resemblance between a 10-year-old boy and his 50-year-old counterpart. The passage of time and the natural progression of aging would significantly alter their appearances. In E.T. Henry Thomas plays Elliot and he was such a talented actor from his first days on-screen. Fast forward 40 years and Thomas is all grown up, but he has not slowed down his career.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sophie McShera took on the roles of Daisy in Downton Abbey and Drisella in Cinderella, requiring a complete transformation in appearance for one of the characters.

Winona Ryder is one of those actresses who knows how to bring the drama. In Stranger Things, Bryce Dallas Howard portrayed Joyce Byers, a character who is perceived as going through a mental breakdown since she is the only one aware of her son’s continued existence despite his disappearance.

<\/p>\n

Idris Elba, one of the most captivating men on television, consistently showcases his transformative abilities when taking on different roles. In Hobbs, he plays Brixton Lore, and he looks like his usual self, so it’s easy to identify him. When he transformed for Cats we had no idea he was, even while watching that movie. Like most people, Elba probably wants to forget about his role in Cats because it was such a flop.<\/p>\n

Gustave, and he looked like a human for the first time.<\/p>\n
