In England, the redheads or “gingers” are persecuted, ridiculed and even feared because of some sort of belief. However, here in Hollywood, redheads tend to attract a lot of attention and we praise them for their superb acting skills. Here are some of the redheads that we adore:
Rupert Grint – The Ron Weasley of the Harry Potter series. Although he is a sidekick for the protagonist of the series, he still plays a major role in the films. But as we know from the books, he will offer a lot other than comic relief in the first part of the epic finale of the ground-breaking series. He will save Harry’s life and be Hermione’s love interest.
Nicole Kidman – We love Kidman’s red locks since we first notice her at Sam Neil’s “Dead Calm.” Since then, Kidman is the type of actress who can win awards and fans at the same time.
Julianne Moore – Another extraordinary redheaded actress that delivered a lot of good performances.
Eric Stoltz – One of the brightest stars in the eighties. He negated the notion that redhead men are not sexy.
Susan Sarandon – A hardworking redhead that is still sexy despite the years and she just keeps herself busy with everything she can get hold of.
Seth Green – This funny guy is one of the most hardworking comedians in Hollywood. He writes, produces and directs the Emmy-winning stop-animated series ‘Robot Chicken’ for the Cartoon Network.
Patricia Clarkson – One of the most versatile actresses of the decade that can pull off just any character with elegance. It seems we will see her in the Oscars as one of the nominees.
Damian Lewis – A big shot actor in the U.K. and probably known for his role as Major Dick Winters in HBO’s miniseries, “Band of Brothers.” However, this will change next year as he will star in the fantasy comedy, “Your Highness,” with James Franco and Natalie Portman.
Kevin McKidd – One of the residents in “Grey’s Anatomy” and dressed as Poseidon and as a Crusader in different films. This guy is truly charming and handsome.
Lauren Ambrose – A great actress in theater, TV and film that started her career in her adolescent years. You will see a lot of her in 2011.
David Wenham – A redhead from Australia who can easily take roles of being a villain and a hero (not all actors can do that). With looks that can kill and superb acting ability, Wenham is a very bankable star.
Lindsay Lohan – We see Lindsay sporting an ugly blonde nowadays but can you remember the good old days where she is still a redhead and so adorable that everyone dreams to be her. Sober up and do that comeback film that everyone is anticipating.
