It’s an actresses job to act (duh). It can’t be all too surprising some actresses don’t necessarily identify with their characters. Many of the most popular cinematic villains and heroines are played by actresses who say they don’t have the time or the energy to be that bad or good in real life. It stands there are so many actresses who are different than their characters.
Game of Thrones‘s Lena Headey is one of those actresses who are nothing like their characters. She’s a self-described “clumsy nerd” who has never wine-boarded anyone, nor slept with a relative. Gilmore Girls‘s Alexis Bledel is another of these actresses known for roles that are nothing like they are. She’s even mentioned her belief that Rory Gilmore is too perfect. Maybe that’s the reason she nearly showed some nip on Mad Men?
Of the many Hollywood actresses who are different than their characters, which do you think are the most dissimilar? Cast your votes below!
Alexis Bledel
In real life: Alexis Bledel is a normal person who isn’t perfect. She also hates coffee. And she has a child with Vincent Kartheiser, formerly Pete on Mad Men. Sure, she dated Milo Ventimiglia (Jess from Gilmore Girls), but it was probably way more steamy in real life, right?
In film and TV roles: Bledel met her husband when she played his mistress, revealing there’s more to the actress than Rory Gilmore. To many, those are fightin’ words, but even Bledel has said Rory was too good to be true, and she was “annoyed” by the character’s perfection. The actress has returned for the Gilmore Girls revival A Year in the Life on Netflix, and this time around Rory’s got more cracks in her facade.
Notable quote: “I just want to live each moment, but it’s kind of hard to do that when you are asked to analyze yourself constantly. But it’s also good in that you are forced to think about things that you don’t ordinarily think about. I think it’s strange.”
