Old Friends
While Voldemort and Dumbledore did know each other before the former’s turn to one of the most evil characters in book history, they were never this friendly. No, this image simply shows actors Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) and Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort) sharing a laugh and a snack while resting their legs between shots. What Potterhead wouldn’t give their wand to be able to listen in on this conversation?
Their body language and expressions don’t show any fear or animosity, which might surprise you until you remember these are two old pros – they’ve worked on movies before, and know how to treat co-workers.
Aw, He's Not So Bad
While the Freddy in the movies was the deadliest thing the cast had ever come across, haunting them on and off throughout an entire series and killing plenty of them, in real life they were all actors and professionals. Freddy Krueger's actor, Robert Englund, was reportedly scared even of himself – he's reported that his iconic character gives him nightmares.
As this image shows, even in his famous frightening look, Englund was well-liked by the rest of the cast. He probably enjoyed the positive attention, even as he was getting used to him being an icon of fear.
Magical Characters Make for a Magical Series
The Harry Potter books and movies are famous for memorable and unique characters that seem oh-so-alive. Anybody who picks up a copy or pops a disk into their player knows that kind Dumbledore is the good guy, while nostril-less Lord Voldemort is the bad guy at first glance.
The two characters couldn't be more opposed, both in their looks, their goals, and their methods. For most of the series, the two characters are in a duel of wits and power with young Harry Potter at the center. But how did the two actors treat each other when the cameras weren't rolling?
They Go All the Way Up
As one of the longest-running movie franchises in history, 'Godzilla' has been destroying or saving the city of Tokyo since 1954, and has appeared in an incredible thirty-three films! A prehistoric monster who stomps through town and destroys everything he comes across had viewers glued to the screen when it first appeared!
While the original now seems pretty kitschy – CGI has grown by leaps and bounds since the fifties – fans of the cult classic still enjoy the original big monster movie. Just look at those legs and see how far they go up!
The Monster Unmasked
It's common knowledge these days that the original Godzilla was just a man in a rubber suit. One of the two actors was Haruo Nakajimo, who we see in this photo getting his monster steps down just right. This sort of image makes the originals a little less frightening, since it isn't a real monster stomping through a real city, but a regular guy playing around with a model built specifically for the movie.
Still though: those legs. Nowadays filmmakers are able to make much more realistic-looking monsters thanks to CGI, but it's hard to forget that they were once played by regular people.
