1. Hugo Weaving
Hugo Weaving maintains a change in his style every once in a while, sporting different shapes of facial hair or various lengths of hair. But, there are a few things that are constant, like his deep-set, piercing blue eyes, and his capability to pull of any role or look. That is why, he successfully portrayed several roles in the 2012 film Cloud Atlas, like most of the actors in the film, with the roles lying outside the parameters of their own gender or race. Hugo’s most notable character in this film was of Nurse Noakes, a vicious lady who was pretty ugly outside but was even uglier on the inside.
Several other actors and actresses have played characters of a different gender. Tyler Perry in Madea, Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future, Amanda Bynes in She’s the Man, Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare in Love: they have all shed the comfort of their own ski and gender, sometimes for comedy, and sometimes because the characters or the story demanded it. At a time when the lines separating normative gender roles in the real world are gradually getting blurred, and there is more fluidity demanded by people to be who they want to be, when people like Conchita Wurst and Lea T. are being applauded for the courage to breaking gender rules, these actors might have left behind some groundbreaking works of art, which may pioneer greater gender fluidity.
