Paraphrasing a well-known proverb, we can say that "Memes will not be made from a bad actor." Only a truly talented person will be able to transform into his hero so much that even a screen with a video will be perceived by viewers with a bang and replicated on the Internet. But the real skill of the actor is not only to completely immerse himself in his character, but also to create a new personality on the screen with his own gestures, colorful facial expressions and outlook on life. Photos of stars, personifying various emotions, have been walking on the Internet for a long time and are actively used in many countries, and so much so that they themselves have become legends for a long time.

Robert Downey Jr

This actor is just an example of meme art, classic samples are written from him, and he has succeeded in this direction many times. Here, for example, a shot from the movie "The Avengers" (about 55 minutes when Tony Stark rolls his eyes) has become incredibly popular. At first, the meme was circulating on the English-speaking Internet, and then, thanks to "Pikab", it became popular in Russia as well. The irritation and discontent that this frame represents, as it turned out, is very often experienced by netizens, which is why this picture has become so popular. Various versions of texts are attributed to it and it always looks appropriate.

But this is far from the only meme that spawned Tony Strike and The Avengers. The iron man with his arms outstretched, practically in the position of Jesus, has become the personification of coolness, the level of achievement and is also actively used on the Internet, both with and without inscriptions. Here, as they say, everything is fine and without comment. The cinematic Iron Man often used this pose, in the West the meme with Tony in the background of an explosion is more common, and compatriots love a shot from the second film.

Robert Downey Jr. is incredibly popular in the world of meme art, his photographs are one of the most sought after on the web, so you can be sure that not a single day will be complete without stumbling upon another masterpiece with his image in the comments. A living legend with amazing facial expressions.

Keanu Reeves

Perhaps only Keanu Reeves can boast of the most popularity among ordinary netizens. He has such a significant army of fans that almost any step he makes gets into the network and becomes a reason for the creativity of users.

Spreading memes with the actor, however, was not always a desire to just have fun. Sad Keanu on a bench as the personification of what is difficult for everyone in this life is not only replicated on the Internet, but even managed to get into the history textbook of Ukraine.

A still from Bill & Ted's Bizarre Adventure, codenamed What If … is often used to ask or comment on a stupid question.

One of the most recent cases that only increased the audience's love for Keanu was the "You're awesome" meme. Last summer, he spoke at the EZ conference (an exhibition of electronic entertainment), where he presented a game with himself in the lead role. During his speech, a man from the audience jumped up and exclaimed "you are amazing!" To which he replied: “No, you are amazing. You are all amazing! " This little detail was not only a cute addition to the performance, but was presented as the main event of the event. And as a result, thousands of memes all over the internet. So Keanu became even more amazing.

Angelina Jolly

Despite the fact that Jolly always retains the image of a fatal beauty, emotions are not alien to her, so memes with her participation are also very popular. For example, the snapshot of her laughing while leaning back on the couch has become quite popular. Then the actress was invited to the "Evening Show" with Jay Leno, she was in a great mood, so a lot of screenshots just scattered across the Internet that same evening.

Another popular meme with the actress shows very different emotions. A still from the movie "The Temptation", in which Jolly plays the seductress of a rich man, perfectly describes many situations and came in handy on the Internet. According to the plot of the film, the heroine Jolly wants to poison her unloved husband in order to take possession of his money. He confesses his love to her and drinks the poison she has prepared. This very moment is captured on the frame. On the network, he is used for hypertrophied presentation: "When I remembered how he treated him to shawarma" or "I eat chips - I don't hear the film."

Even if you are a beauty in a Versace dress, this does not at all guarantee that your photo will not fly around the world as a meme. At the 2012 Academy Awards, the actress posed for a photo in her outfit with a slit at the thigh, flirtatiously exposing a chiseled leg. Later, this leg even had a Facebook account. To which, for a minute, more than 14 thousand people subscribed for a day.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Another actor with a unique facial expression, taken away by meamsiki, is Leonardo DiCaprio. As a rule, pictures expressing negative emotions are gaining the greatest popularity on the Internet, for example, a still from the movie "Isle of the Damned" has become one of the ways to express an attitude to an unpleasant situation. It is ideal for any question: "When is the summer?", "Raised wages?", "How are you?"

The shot of Leo raising his glass in the image of The Great Gatsby has become a universal template for any congratulations. The film "Inception" spawned another wave of fotojab with the actor's squint.

On the set of the same film, Leo became the hero of another. He walks merrily along the sidewalk, swinging his arms vigorously and tilting his head slightly. This meme is often contrasted with the sad Keanu Reeves on the bench. The photo with the cheerful Leo was taken during a break in filming, when he left the image of a depressed hero and happily returned to his usual. So he became the personification of optimism, persisting in any situation, and sometimes a funny fool who does not understand anything.

Tom Cruise

Laughing Tom has been surfing the Internet for a long time. This is not a screen from the film, but from an interview he gave after the filming of Mission Impossible. He was not only in a great mood, but even surprised those around him by laughing all the time, and so sincerely. Since then, Tom Cruise bursting into laughter has been an integral part of comments on social networks. Tom and his million dollar smile are always in a hurry to help when you need to express approval of a successful joke or express your attitude to what is happening.

Nicholas cage

You can forget the name of the actor, you may not know what kind of film it was, but if you see this frame, then the phrase "oh well ?!" will pop up in your head by itself. This is a shot from the movie "Kiss of the Vampire", but one can unequivocally say that thanks to Cage and his indescribable facial expressions, the meme has become much more popular than the film and will not be forgotten soon. It is too versatile in use, because being amazed at the surrounding stupidity is one of the favorite activities on the Internet.

Sean Bean

Here the option is complicated, there is no actor's facial expressions that would speak for itself. The basis for the creation of fotoeba was the words of the hero of the film "The Lord of the Rings" that you can't just go and go to Mordor. Initially, this joke was distributed exclusively in the fan media and only later became popular among all users.

Gene Wilder

“Come on, tell me,” or a universal way to ridicule stupidity and naivety, was born thanks to the acting of Gene Wilder. Willy Wonk from the project "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" was filmed back in 1971, and the screenshot appeared already in the 2000s. The name of the meme came from the hero's phrase: "Come on, tell me."

Dwayne Johnson

If it were not for the role of a loser taxi driver, unexpected for the Rock, such close public attention to this film would probably not have threatened. But Johnson, who usually solves problems with strength even on the screen and looks like a mountain of muscles, managed to portray surprise so sincerely that he became a meme. What Internet users did not attribute under his portrait, and Dwayne never ceases to be sincerely surprised.

Patrick Stewart

Disputes about what appeared before the egg or chicken are no longer relevant. Now they argue about what was Stewart's gesture or facepalm before? However, one thing is obvious, that one without the other is simply impossible. "Star Trek", or rather the 13th episode of the 3rd season, presented the society with a real find, without which more than one battle in the comments would definitely have failed.

Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan and his hands raised to his head torn with indignation are not a screen from the film. There is not even information about where this meme came from. But along with bewilderment, he expresses annoyance and a lot of other emotions, which there is no need to describe, because you see Jackie and everything becomes clear.

Gerard Butler

When it gets too hot in the comments, and there are just not enough pictures, heavy artillery is used. "300 Spartans" and Tsar Leonidas shouting "This is Sparta!" make it clear that weaklings do not belong here and now a tough confrontation will begin.

James McAvoy

The latest events make James from the movie "Mud" feel more and more deeply and together exclaim "What's going on?" When there is even no strength left to be surprised, and you are more and more amazed at the events that are taking place. Despite the fact that this kind of Internet art is a very controversial moment, the actors themselves, who became the heroes of the photojams, do not take it negatively, but even on the contrary. In addition, what the interlocutor appeals to on the Internet during a dispute clearly shows him as a person. Therefore, here is one more material with the most artistic memes based on the masterpieces of fine art - in case of important negotiations.
