Many actors turn down roles only to regret it later. Maybe their second thought was correct. Everyone can imagine, for example, Brad Pitt playing Jason Bourne but what about other actors and the roles they refused. Have a look at the photos in this post and decide for yourself was their choice a good one or not.

Leo expressed an interest in playing Patrick Bateman in "American Psycho" but eventually reconsidered over fears his fan base would never accept him as a yuppie serial killer. His exit enabled Christian Bale - always director Mary Harron's first choice for the controversial role - to return to the project.

Celebrities often change their hairstyle. Today they are blond, tomorrow they turn ginger. Today they have long hair, and tomorrow they are bold. Hair transformations are interesting to observe, as famous people should always look according to their new movie role or music style.

Charlize Theron

Some celebrities have really visible veins. I can only add that many of these photos are scary looking.

The photos in this post of lookalike celebrities are amazing. Some are guys, some are gals and some are a guy or a gal and a cartoon character. Regardless the similarity is remarkable. They look enough alike to be twins.

Blake Lively and Ke$ha

She used to be a smiling ginger girl 12 years ago, and now Lindsay Lohan is a well-known movie star who will soon go to prison. Nothing is left to smile about.

Although you may not be aware of it, each celebrity poses the same way each time. While all the celebrities pose differently, it would appear that each celebrity has figured out which pose makes them look the best and they stick with that particular pose. The photos in this post prove it. 

Megan Fox

Many celebs and stars like to have tattoos. Some of them have tattoos with names of their children or beloved ones, others some ordinary tattoos, some have weird or very creative ones. I really don’t get the reason to have tattoos, for me it’s just art that spoils body skin.. Anyway, to each their own.

In Hollywood, plastic surgery is perhaps the worst kept secret around. While some stars readily admit to having plastic surgery, others are less forthcoming which leaves us all guessing. Although it is obvious that some celebrities have had some work done it takes a trained eye to determine if others have. See of you can tell who has and who hasn’t by looking at these photos.

Fergie

Actress Lindsay Lohan really got balls to appear in the court with such a “message”. She broke into tears when Beverly Hills Judge Marsha Revel announced the decision. Lohan had violated judge’s probation by not coming to a couple of alcohol education classes that were imposed for a 2007 drunken driving arrest in California. As the result the actress was sentenced to a 90-day-term in jail that starts on July 20. But this is not the end of the story…

I am sure you remember all of them.
Many teen idols back in 80's and 90's were real heartthrobs. Millions of girls all over the world watched movies and TV shows with them, as these guys were handsome and their smile made many hearts melt.

Now let’s look at them the way they were and the way the are today.

It is truly amazing how much the actors in Hollywood resemble the characters they play. As the photos in this post show, their transformation is uncanny. It is such a gift they have to be able to play these characters but to look like them as well is remarkable.

In the pictures, the actors are shown on the right and the real characters are on the left.

Portraits of celebrities created by one of the main photographers in Hollywood should be great a priori. Firooz Zahedi has a great vision of his characters. His life story is pretty interesting. Zahedi was born in Iran, but later moved to the UK. Since 1969 he lives in the USA taking pictures of movie stars.
