They talk about them. They are admired. They want to be like them. Their appearance and roles are so attractive and unique that they have taken them to the top of the top ratings of various media! Who are the most popular actors in Hollywood?
The ratings are compiled by well-known magazines and TV programs on the basis of successful, popular films in which the actors are filmed, their social activity, talent and relevance.
1. Tom Cruise
He is not only the most famous, but also one of the highest grossing actors. Cruz has been bringing super profits to the filmmakers with his participation for two decades. On average, pictures with his participation collect $ 96.9 million. His stormy personal life and brilliant performance of the main roles gives him the fame of a lucky one and "the chicken that lays the golden eggs." In the press, statements often flash: “Only the lazy will not pass by Tom Cruise without gossip or envy. But if you look at his filmography under a magnifying glass, it becomes obvious that there is simply not a single bad film in his collection. " You can't argue that "War of the Worlds", "Mission Impossible" and other high-grossing films are just a drop in the sea of brilliant works of the star.
2. Angelina Jolie
A sophisticated Hollywood beauty and with machine guns is ready to jump on the walls, and lie half-naked on silk sheets. Any of her roles, even episodic ones, were brilliantly played. She is known not only in Hollywood, but also in any Russian outback. But she is not just an Oscar-winning American actress and mother of six children, she still works as a model and is a UN Goodwill Ambassador.
3. Johnny Depp
An inspiring example of how a great sense of humor has bestowed not only fame, but also wealth. His "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Alice" are the very personification of Depp, whose surname, by the way, translates as "clown". So the ridicule of classmates and jokes of school friends are not a reason to get upset, but an incentive to tune in to bright success and star fame during the creative path.
4. Cameron Diaz
With the release of Diaz's The Mask, not only American audiences began to go crazy. And the whole world! Starting with a modeling contract with Calvin Klein, Cameron set her sights on Hollywood. Films "Charlie's Angels", "Vanilla Sky", "Everyone Is Crazy About Mary" again and again convinced the audience that Diaz was an actress with a capital letter.
5. Leonardo DiCaprio
Hollywood actor and now producer, three-time Academy Award nominee. His finest hour in cinema came with the release of the great film "Titanic". The next morning he woke up famous, and ahead of him was a series of successful roles.
6. Brad Pitt
Handsome Brad is known not only for his incredible charisma and starring roles in the films Fury and Twelve Monkeys, but also for his scandalous divorce from the equally famous Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie. However, the status of a bachelor only added to his popularity.
7. Will Smith
The first and painful blunder was Will Smith's rejection of the lead role in The Matrix, instead opting to play the Wild Wild West cowboy. The comedy failed, and the actor became more attentive to the choice of projects. Glory came with the release of the films Men in Black 2, Bad Boys 2 and I'm a Robot. Today he is an incredibly sought-after modern Hollywood actor.
8. Jim Carrey
The comedian from "The Mask" and "Ace Ventura" amazes with his versatility and excellent performance of roles. He is deeply immersed in each of his characters, which is the main role in the drama "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." Jim continues to shine and delight fans.
9. Tom Hanks
Tom is the protagonist of numerous films about large families, unexpected situations and stupid actions. The Hanks phenomenon is that he fearlessly takes on comic and sometimes incredibly silly roles, transforming films with his wit and resourcefulness. This raised him to the popularity pedestal!
10. Matthew McConaughey
At the start of his career, he could boast of only a few roles in short commercials. Then there were cute romantic comedies like Wedding Planner and How to Lose a Boy in Ten Days. Fame fell on him in 2013, after starring as an AIDS cowboy in the Dallas Buyers Club. Thanks to this and other interesting work, he took his place in the top 10 most famous actors in Hollywood.
