Not to be confused with basketball player Michael (no B.) Jordan, this handsome fella is one talented actor. While he is definitely one of the popular kids on the block, Jordan has a geeky side too and he is a fan of anime as well as superheroes. In fact, his role in a superhero movie is what made him a household name. The role is that of Erik Killmonger in Black Panther.
His performance as Killmonger was praised by many, with Business Insider writing that Jordan’s performance was “fueled with hate and emptiness… but also delivered with a swagger that’s just a joy to watch … the movie takes off more in story and viewing enjoyment whenever Jordan is on screen.”
Brad Pitt
Producer and actor, Brad Pitt has one of the world’s most recognized faces. It’s a pretty one, too. We first recognized it, and the rest of him, in Thelma and Louise as a hitchhiking charmer who Geena Davis’ “Thelma” falls for. Prior to the onset of success, Pitt bailed on a journalism degree in order to pursue acting. He has also worked as a mover and an El Pollo Loco chicken mascot before becoming one of the most sought after men in the business.
Since his Thelma and Louise days, Pitt has portrayed many unforgettable characters in films such as Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Ocean's Eleven, interview with the Vampire, Fight Club, and more. There are simply too many to choose from!
Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson probably has something to do with coining the phrase “luck of the Irish,” as there is no way a country wouldn't take pride in producing such a talented guy. Many of the characters Neeson plays are innate saviors, such as Brian Mills, who didn't stop at anything to save his family in the Taken trilogy. The role that situated him as an A-list actor, was that of Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List.
The story of German businessman Oskar Schindler was immortalized in the Steven Spielberg Oscar-winning film Schindler’s List. The film won seven of the twelve Academy Awards it was nominated for, and Neeson wasn't too far behind with numerous nominations and several wins.
Remi Malek
Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the biggest musical movies in the last few years. This biographical drama follows the life of Freddy Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, the successful English rock band. It is also the film that made everyone know who Remi Malek is.
Malek played Mercury, which won him an Oscar for the role. Those who made sure that the films maintains a close relationship with reality are Brian May and Roger Taylor. Both are Queen members who knew Mercury personally ans served as consultants to director Bryan Singer, and made sure Malek was doing Mercury justice, which he obviously did.
Johnny Depp
An actor, musician, and producer, Johnny Depp has done so much in film we simply couldn't ignore him. Among his numerous awards and nominations, there are ten Golden Globes nominations, one of which he won. With his versatile acting skill he has often played eccentric characters, all of which contributed to his undeniable allure, both on and off screen.
He is known for playing eccentric characters and for his many collaborations with filmmaker Tim Burton, but his most memorable part in the last 20 years is definitely that of Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. As the perpetually drunk pirate with never ending luck, Depp's Sparrow redefined the way we think of pirates today.
