McConaughey made his break as a droopy-eyed teen in ‘Dazed and Confused’, and went on to play a leading role in several critically-acclaimed movies like ‘Amistad’ and ‘Contact’.
He’s done countless romantic comedies, until landing more serious roles, in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’, ‘Mud’ and the brilliant ‘Dallas Buyers’ Club’, where he reminds us of what an incredible talent he has as an actor.
Eddie Murphy
No one can ever forget that famous fart scene from ‘The Nutty Professor’, ‘Dr. Doolittle’ or the 1980s classic ‘Beverly Hills Cop’. Eddie is considered one of the top ten comedians of all times by Comedy Central and has been nominated four times for a Golden Globe Award and once for an Academy Award.
He is a natural-born comedian with an intoxicating stage presence - we just can’t stop looking any time he’s in front of the camera! Well done Mr. Murphy, you’ve certainly come a long way.
Romantic or evil? Mathew McConaughey
Who other than Matthew McConaughey could have had such a charming smile and gorgeous blond hair? Unsurprisingly, Matthew was voted ‘most handsome’ in his high school yearbook.
But being one of the most popular kids in school didn’t keep him from having a rough childhood. His parents got married three times, after divorcing twice. And his two older brothers were no picnic either.
Can you see the vision in his eyes?
Even in his yearbook photo, Spielberg has that all-knowing gaze, as if he were staring into the beyond, looking at something none of us can see. Can you believe that when this photo was taken, young Steven had already filmed several amateur projects using his parent’s video camera and asking friends to play actors.
This picture looks more like a movie star magazine cover and less like a nerdy teenage boy yearbook shot!
Steven Spielberg
Spielberg made it a long way from those amateur films with dad’s video camera. He has single-handedly paved the way for young directors by being one of the pioneers of the Hollywood era.
Steven Spielberg’s films have been historical landmarks in cinema, shaping many of the movies we see today. Imagine a childhood without ‘Indiana Jones’, ‘E.T.’, ‘Jurassic Park’, or ‘Jaws’ - it’s simply not possible. This bow-tie wearing teenager changed our lives with his films - and we’re so happy he did.
