In the grand theater of cinema, actors are primarily known by the iconic characters they portray. Before achieving fame, they aren't recognized by their names but by their characters. Take, for instance, the iconic roles of Kevin McCallister played by Macaulay Culkin in "Home Alone", or Robert Downey Jr.'s memorable portrayal of Tony Stark. These names are so intertwined that it's easy to confuse the actor with the character, to the point where they're nearly synonymous.

Netherlands-based artist, Ard Gelinck, presents a take on this confluence of actor and role. Through his skill, he detaches the inseparable, juxtaposing the actor and their character in a fascinating and reflective manner. His work frames the two side-by-side as though they're conversing, spending time together, and just engaging in a unique form of interaction.

Fun fact: because the Harry Potter franchise started filming when they were all literal children Emma Watson for example would actually try to do homework and write stuff with quills during the class scenes in the first movie for example

They all did this. The kids have said that they were told to try to do actual homework in their scenes to make them look more realistic.

Did you even read the book and see how Hermione was described as looking like? Seems more like you're just grasping for reasons not to like someone who is vastly more liked, respected and successful than you'll ever be in a million life times.

Explain how she is ungrateful. You seem to think that because Emma doesn't agree with Rowling's transphobia, that somehow makes her ungrateful for being cast in the Harry Potter movies? That is beyond idiotic- it's like saying that because you don't agree with your parents on certain subjects you are therefore ungrateful for everything they did for you during childhood- utterly, utterly idiotic remarks from bigoted little people like you.

Gelinck is like that friend who has an uncanny knack for remembering everyone's past - the good, the bad, and the goofy. He pulls out these throwback shots of actors and gives them a fresh spin, setting up a meet-and-greet between the actor and their most popular/recognized role. It's a bit like those high school reunion flicks, where you get to see who has changed, who hasn't, and who’s still trying to live down that unfortunate prom outfit.

    Ard also knows we love our current generation of actors too. He features celebrities with their more recent, unforgettable roles, like for example Jenna Ortega and her role as Wednesday Addams. It's a great way to see how far they've come in such a short span. Plus, it's kind of fun to see how they've adapted to their characters, becoming almost inseparable from them in the public's eye.

    I'm so glad he seems to be doing better now. One thing that really sticks with me is the fact that his father forced him to sleep on the floor instead of in his bed, "just so I knew that I would sleep on the floor if that's what he wanted." His family was so abusive and cruel and controlling, it's brave and powerful as hell that he's found peace within himself.

    Gelinck's work is like a cultural snapshot. It shows us how powerful cinema is, how it can shape our perceptions of an actor so strongly that we see them as their character. We might call Robert Pattinson 'Edward' or Daniel Radcliffe 'Harry' without even realizing it.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    And then there's the whole fame game. One minute, you're just an actor; the next, you're the face of a global franchise. Gelinck's art is a cool reminder of how fast someone can zoom to stardom, all because of one character that resonates with the audience.

    Given the opportunity this time around, Bored Panda reached out to Ard for an interview as we discussed some interesting topics letting Gerlinck shed some light on his unique creative process when it comes to this series.

    When asked about the process behind creating his renowned images, Ard explained, "Creating these images involves a careful process of research, conceptualization, and execution. I always start by gathering high-resolution images of the actors and their most iconic roles, ensuring that the lighting and angles align as closely as possible for a seamless blend. After that, it's all about meticulous attention to detail in Photoshop, blending the images together and adjusting colors, shadows, and textures until I'm satisfied with the end result."

    In response to the question about how he decides on which actor and role to feature in this exact series, Gelinck mentioned, "The decision largely depends on a combination of factors. It's partly based on my personal preferences, the impact of the role on pop culture, and, of course, requests from my followers. I try to keep a balance between all these factors."

    Regarding the message he aims to convey in his works, the designer revealed, "When merging an actor with their famous role, my main objective is to evoke a sense of nostalgia and recognition. I want to capture the essence of the character and the actor's interpretation in one image, reminding viewers of the impact these roles have had on them and the wider world of cinema and television."

    She most likely would have passed by the time he started this project? Can only manipulate photos so much. Needed to use Leia as it was her most famous role, so photographs available that were both the most current, and would fit with a corresponding Leia shot would be limited. Can't exactly manipulate a sitting down late night interview shot to look like it's interacting with a rebel space princess...

    Gelinck also shared some of the challenges in his work. "Sometimes, it can be difficult to find suitable photos that match in terms of perspective and lighting. Other times, the challenge lies in portraying the actor and the character simultaneously, especially if the character's appearance is vastly different from the actor's regular look."

    Unpopular opinion here, but I don't like The Shining, mainly because I think Kubrick is overrated. Nicholson's best crazy face had to be in The Witches of Eastwick.

    Name a movie where Jack does not look exactly the same - could have gone with As Good As It Gets too.

    Nope. Should've been Jack as the Joker.

    Finally, when asked about the research and preparation that goes into his projects, the artist emphasized their importance, saying, "Research and preparation are integral to the process. I spend hours looking through pictures, even looking up the interviews, and revisiting the movies or shows to capture the essence of the character. I am indeed a fan of many of the shows and movies I work on, which adds another layer of enjoyment to the process."

    Red is such a rare and gorgeous hair colour. However, I know so many redheads (both celebrities and people in my personal life) who dye it away.

    Agree! The new Magnum is not sexist, which is a major plus compared to the original. And such a fun and thrilling watch with a great cast that you love being in the company of. Selleck is iconic, of course, but the show is very of its time. They updated and reimagined it very well.

    Some of these are very good but as a photoshop artist I must say some photos could use a bit more or work. It’s very hard to make them look as if they are in the same room. I don’t mean to be mean or judgmental but some pictures are just not right with the lights and the cuts are too obvious. This one however is really well done.
