Actors who played opposite gender roles: When the art of acting came into being, male actors used to play the parts of females. Be it the plays or theatres, or the oldest films of the bygone eras, it was considered unbecoming to be out in the public, let alone act in front of an audience.

But, times have changed, and so have the reasons for the artists for slipping into the shoes of the opposite gender. Today, actors and actresses play characters that do not conform to their own gender, to do justice to the script, story or the character. Let us take a look at some of the Actors Who Played Opposite Gender Roles Flawlessly.
10. Charlie Chaplin
A luminary in world cinema, known best for his slapstick comedy, and as the master of the art of irony in film-writing. Remembered for his onscreen sloppy avatar, Chaplin was quite a handsome man off the screen. In the movie A Busy Day back in 1914, he slipped into an elaborate gown, and switched from the man with the toothbrush moustache and bowler hat to a beautiful lady. The film is just 6 minutes, and Chaplin’s role as a wife is short, though definitely among his iconic roles. But it definitely makes him one of the first to show this kind of courage, all for comedy and entertainment.
