Your Favorite Hollywood Villains In Real Life

No television show or movie is complete without a villain. These characters can scare you, creep you out, or simply make you dislike them. The actors and actresses who play these roles aren’t scary at all, though. Here are your favorite villains and what they look like in real life.

Thor: Ragnarok’s Hela

The Thor franchise has seen many different villains, but Australian actress Cate Blanchett is one of the most memorable. She plays Hela, the warrior goddess who is Thor’s sister. In real life, Blanchett is known for her shining golden hair.

The movie gave her a chance to embrace her dark side and go full emo for the role. She said it was a great time to fully explore her darker side, for the role.

Splice’s Dren

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a human’s DNA was spliced with a variety of different animals, then Splice is a movie you should watch. The creation, named Dren, is played by Delphine Chanéac, who completely embodies this strange creature. The director wanted Dren to appear humanoid so that audiences felt more empathy for her.

While her face does appear to look female, the rest of her body is pretty far from being human. She had wings and oddly jointed legs. A geneticist was used to ensure that Dren looked as close to a scientifically spliced human as possible.

X-Men: First Class Azazel

This bright red villain, which has the ability to teleport, was played by Jason Flemyng. Azazel, as he was named in the film, was a tough character to get into.

It would take roughly four to six hours to paint him red, add a tail, and a wig. After all of that makeup, sometimes he would only be on set for a couple of hours.

The Mummy’s Princess Ahmanet

Movie studios always try to reboot successful franchises, and in 2017 The Mummy was brought back to life. The studio needed a new villain, which is where Princess Ahmanet entered the picture.

Algerian-French actress Sofia Boutella was transformed into the cursed princess. She didn’t get a lot of screen time, and the movie was considered a failure by studio standards. There has not been a follow-up, and that’s okay. The original is still a cult classic.
