10. Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson is an American actor-turned-filmmaker who has had the fortunate chance to rise up in Hollywood. Gibson was born in New York but moved to Australia when he was 12 years old. His father had just received a big sum of money after suing the government and decided to start fresh in the land down under. Unknowingly, this decision would cause Gibson to fall into the hands of the acting world. Years later, Gibson agreed to give his friend a lift to an audition. When the day came, Gibson presented himself with scrapes and bruises all over his face from the previous night’s bar fight. The director of the movie instantly locked eyes on Gibson’s face and figured he would be perfect for the role of a freak. The director told Gibson to come back when he was healed up and audition. But when Gibson came back looking healed and fresh, the director was surprised to see a handsome face beneath the bruises and gave him the lead role in Mad Max.
