LMFAO I CAN'T UNSEE SKINNY LAWRENCE FISHBURNE
An alternative title could be: Actors who got their acting roles by acting
How could she tell the directors she loved horses when she was ALLERGIC lmao. How would you ever get away with that lie? Just play dumb and act like you had no idea why your eyes were getting so puffy and you'd broken out in hives?! Lmao smooth move McAdams
I thought it should be "dishonorable" mention. Having said that, my guess is if you can convince others about what you claimed, you should be a good actor.
but towards the end of the series jackie burkhardt didnt graduate along with her friends. she graduate a year later. seems like the director finally caught her real age.
I knew George Lazenby was going to nab the top spot…
If George Lazenby isn't on here…
They weren't lying, they were acting! Hahaha…..I hate my life…..
John Schneider for "Dukes of Hazzard"…needed to be a 24 year old from the South and he was 18 years old from New York
I lied on my resume I'm not really a people person
The directors of House thought Hugh Laurie was American
Don't all actors lie though? Isn't that, like, their job?
Where is Hilary Swank she lied about her age to earn the role in Boys Don't Cry
Hang on, how could Chloë Moretz's nationality pass for being British? Because she spoke in a convincing accent?
She already had quite a good amount of acting credits prior to Hugo. How can anyone not know her nationality?
So Sandra Bullock landed the role…because she landed the role… Sweet writing.
A bit surprised that George Takei did not get at least a honorable mention…
Unfortunately terror clearly climate substance for ad aware.
"I love you Jews." – Every working actor.
HA! look at Ted Cruz at 00:50. lolol.
Lock sky trap glance theology highlight.
Actors lie about their age all the time nothing new
I think you left out Mark Wahlberg. I heard he lied to get the lead role for invincible on some show that talks about actors and actresses starting out in Hollywood.
I don't remember what the show was called.
No John Schneider from the Dukes of Hazzard? I don't recall anything specifically stating movie roles, just acting roles.
written tax taste being lot title dark
Top 10 Frauds Detected!!!
Kick Ass was 1 year before Hugo, do you really think Scorsese is that stupid to not recognize Chloe Moretz?
either I've watched another channel's top 10 on this, or this is a remake of an old one. Not sure which one it is, but most of these were already known to me from a top 10
Damn mila kunis at 14 is so hotel
They got away with it eh?
I lie in every job interview when I tell them I'm a people person
I love To the Wonder, one of my favourite films, had no idea about that fact though, ho-ly!
Moretz was one of the only good things about Hugo
I saw Jaime Lannister on the thumbnail
Antonio Banderas lying about knowing how to speak English to score his first Hollywood role should be number 1.. All he had to remember was 'yes' and 'I can do that!'
crime pays !
I haven't willingly lied to anyone in my 22 years of life
I didn't want to lie on my job application, but my mom scolded me and told me that was no way to succeed in life.
Love how Mila Kunis didn't really lie. Was just very misleading
Mila is queen and here's proof about it.
♥
lol must be the first time a woman lies in saying she's older…
If Laurence Fishbaurne is not on this
Mila Kunis is only good on TV.
I would still bang mila kunis even if she had megs face well maybe not exactly megs
Watch some of the movies featured in this video:
On Her Majesty's Secret Service http://amzn.to/2i3A4WI
That '70s Show – Season 1 http://amzn.to/2vZqNop
Apocalypse Now http://amzn.to/2vAYhrU
Pattinson is the only one I take exception to. If those who lied about their age or skills pulled it off, what's the harm? Kunis would have been in trouble if it was a movie role that required nudity, but it wasn't. Pattinson lied about attending prestigious schools.
Rachel mcadams shouldn’t have lied about being allergic & scared of horses
Mila Kunis had to lie about her age, in order to get the role of Jackie on "That '70s Show!" Can you imagine somebody like Carmen Electra to play the spoiled Jackie Burkhart?! I don't think so!
