Have you ever been watching a movie based on a famous person’s life and thought to yourself, “I’m not buying it?”
Not because the acting was bad, or the script felt off, but because the actor on screen looked absolutely nothing like the human being they were supposed to be portraying.
But you’re a good sport, so you let it roll, all the while squinting, going, “Sure, okay, Anthony Hopkins, I guess you can be Richard Nixon.”
You’re not alone — Hollywood has been pulling this since forever, and we’ve rounded up some of the most egregious offenders.
(Editor’s Note: Wait a minute, who are you? Who am I? My name’s Alex, and I’m the new editor here at theCHIVE. My friends call me ‘Al,’ but since that looks a hell of a lot like ‘AI’, and lord knows the internet doesn’t need any more of that, I’m going with ‘Alex.’ Anyway — biopics. Let’s talk about them.)
