Curious about how some actors seamlessly embody characters from bygone eras? Take Colin Firth in the classic film Pride and Prejudice from 1995—he is the embodiment of a true Victorian gentleman.
Conversely, “iPhone face” refers to those actors who appear too modern, lacking the historical authenticity needed for period roles. The question arises: do you think these 37 popular actors possess “iPhone faces,” or could they convincingly inhabit a period piece?
Can you share instances of “iPhone face” you’ve spotted in historical films or series? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
