ToActors have the ability to captivate their audiences with their depth, charisma and humour on screen. We invite them into our homes, through on our television screens, on our laptops and smart phones. They become like part of the family. A beloved TV cast, or the ensemble of a favourite movie has the ability to bring comfort like an old friend. With that being said, of course, there are some actors that we could pass . But then, there are some actors we would always pick, over anyone else! Everyone has a favourite movie star - a celebrity crush that totally make their heart skip a beat when they see their faces in theatres. It's like having a first love, all over again! Or maybe, it's a face that comes onto the TV screen in our living rooms weekly, in a drama filled soap opera, or sitcom.
It's exciting to see our favourite actors take on new roles, revive old ones, and win awards for doing so! There's a reason everyone and their mother watches the Oscars. This quiz is going to narrow down a favourite leading lady, but picking or passing on these popular tinsel town actors.
Let's begin, shall we?
Battle of the Ryans!
Ryan Reynolds vs Ryan Gosling. Both gorgeous, both named Ryan, both Canadian - what's not to love?! Ryan Reynolds is best known as Blake Lively's husband, just kidding! Green Lantern was his main claimed to fame. Ryan Gosling stole all our hearts in The Notebook, but both men have continued to remain Hollywood sweethearts.
Jennifer Aniston or Courtney Cox?
Even though the TV show "Friends" wrapped almost 15 years ago, the show still lives on with a new generation of Netflix watchers. The show features the career jump starts of both Jennifer Aniston, and Courtney Cox, who have both remained relevant in the acting world, years after the show finished!
Steve Carell or Will Ferrell?
Both Will and Steve have played the regional manager of Dunder Mifflin in the smash hit comedy The Office, but both actors have also had incredibly successful careers in their own right, while also co-starring together in Anchor Man and Anchor Man 2. Pick the better actor!
Amy Poehler or Amy Schumer?
Battle of the Amy's! While Amy Poehler had a successful run on Saturday Night Life in the early 2000's, and her own hit comedy show Parks and Recreation, Amy Schumer has had a string of hilarious movies herself and multiple Netflix comedy specials! Pick an Amy!
Zooey Deschanel or Hannah Simone?
Both ladies played hilarious and quirky longtime best friends on New Girl, but they didn't just play best friends on TV, they were real life bff's! It may be hard to pick between the two of them, but someone's gotta do it! Which actor is best?
Battle of the Chris'!
Chris Hemsworth or Chris Pratt? Isn't it the age old question! The traditional hunk, or the cute and funny guy? Both of these actors have taken on superhero and/or supernatural roles and became instant fan favourites.
Zac Efron or Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson?
One has had a long career, spanning from Disney musicals to she iconic Baywatch beach , while the other has had two names and two iconic careers - it's a difficult choice! Dwayne Johnson was wrestling legend "The Rock" before realizing he could act his heart out. Pick a stud muffin actor!
Jimmy Fallon or Justin Timberlake?
When it comes to Hollywood besties, few guys know how to do it like JT and Jimmy. Not only are they both incredibly successful actors, musicians and comedians, they also know how to drum up attention on social media with their cute, bromantic hijinks. From the early days of their friendship on SNL, to their musical numbers on the Tonight Show, there's no telling what this duo will be up to next!
Blake Lively or Leighton Meester?
Both played Manhattans hottest and most talked about socialites in the cult favourite TV drama Gossip Girl. Even though the show wrapped years ago, both Leighton and Blake have stayed in the spotlight due to their staring roles in movies, TV and their A-list marriages. So, who will it be? S or B?
Sterling K. Brown or Milo Ventimiglia?
This may be the hardest question yet! Both these men are incredible actors and outstanding human beings on and off screen. Their characters in This Is Us have brought millions of fans to tears. I wish you good luck in choosing between these two amazing actors!
Meryl Streep or Diane Keaton?
We all know Meryl is the queen of acting, but let's take a moment to appreciate someone who has been in the game just as long - Diane Keaton! Both these women are not just amazing actresses, they are activists. What's not to love about this dynamic duo?
Casey Rose Wilson or June Diane Raphael?
These three named wonders are long time, real life besties as well as business partners and actors. Casey is best known for her stint on SNL, as well as playing fan favourite Penny Hartz in Happy Endings. June Diane is best known for her sass and spunk on Grace and Frankie.
Anne Hathaway or Kate Hudson?
They were co-stars in the rom-com classic Bride Wars, but they also became real life friends. Both women have been in the Hollywood spotlight for years, but have still remained as hard working and down to earth as they were when their careers started! Pick one!
Kim Catrall or Sarah Jessica Parker?
Team SJP, or team Kim C? When these on screen BFF's revealed everything behind the scene was not peachy keen, these two got thrown into a very public cat fight. Are you a Carrie, or a Samantha? Pick one of these TV icons!
Tina Fey or Maya Rudolph?
Both these women got their start as cast members on SNL, but it's what they did afterwards that has cemented both of them as two of comedy's most beloved leading ladies. Pick between Tina and Maya, and remember that either way, Amy Poehler will be part of the deal!
Tom Hanks or George Clooney?
It doesn't get much more Hollywood royalty than George Clooney and Tom Hanks. Both are not only outstanding actors, but have worked diligently to better the community around them. Pick between these two acting icons.
John Krasinski or Rainn Wilson?
Both men played fan favourites on The Office, and their careers haven't slowed down since. John is adorable and fun loving, and has received much praise for his and his wife Emily Blunt's film, A Quiet Place. Rainn has dived into philanthropic work, while continuing to act here and there.
Battle of the Emma's!
Emma Stone is a firecracker, on and off screen. Her relatable, girl next door energy made her all too easy for fans to love! Emma Watson has grown up in front of the camera, and we were lucky to watch her magical performances in the Harry Potter franchise. Pick an Emma!
Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey?
These two funny men have had careers as long as most millennials can remember - we've grown up with Jim Carey in classic comedies such as the Ace Ventura franchise and Mask, while Adam Sandler charmed us all in 50 First Dates and The Wedding Singer. Time for a classic movie marathon, anyone?!
Sandra Bullock or Melissa McCarthy?
Could we find sweeter human beings in Hollywood? I'm doubtful! Not only are these women hilarious, beautiful and iconic, they are just as wonderful off screen as they are on! Melissa and Sandy starred in The Heat together, but us fans can't help but hope for another hilarious collab soon!
Reese Witherspoon or Nicole Kidman?
These two ladies are a few of the most respected actors in Hollywood. Their recent dramatic work together on Big Little Lies totally swept this past award show season, with much anticipation for Season 2! Pick one of these two strong ladies- either one is a winner!
Tiffany Haddish or Ilana Glazer?
Both of these women are BEYOND fabulous, and want you to make sure everyone knows it! After gaining popularity in the past few years, both Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip) and Ilana Glazer (Broadstreet) have made names for themselves for their raw humour and strong, feminist attitudes.
Steve Martin or Dan Aykroyd?
While the younger generations may not be familiar with these two wild and crazy guys, I highly suggest an education on these two ground breaking SNL icons. Some familiar movie roles for Steve Martin include Cheaper By The Dozen and Father of the Bride, while Dan Aykroyd brings the Christmas spirit alive every year in Christmas with the Kranks.
Veronica or Betty?
Actually, the question should read - Lili Reinhart or Camila Mendes? Both these ladies got their acting dream gig when cast in the smash hit Riverdale, based off the Archie comic books. The show has gotten big, but both these actors have managed to stay humble while balancing this fast track to fame!
Mandy Moore or Chrissy Metz?
During their emotional performances as mother and daughter in the highly praised drama This Is Us, Mandy Moore and Chrissy Metz's characters tackle hard issues like eating disorders, relationship issues and immense loss. Off screen, their real life friendship inspires us all.
Chris Pine or Tom Hardy?
Not only were they co-stars in the underrated romantic comedy This Means War (with Reese Witherspoon) these men have remained respected and relevant in the ever changing industry. Oh, and did I mention - they're super easy on the eyes!
Amanda Seyfried or Lily James?
With the release of the highly anticipated sequel to Mamma Mia, Mamma Mia 2 - Here We Go Again, all eyes were on these two blonde bombshells! Before the film, Amanda Seyfried made iconic appearances in Mean Girls and Dear John, while Lily James dazzled us all as the live action Cinderella!
Time for a Throwback!
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were everyones sister goals growing up. They are twins, but they are far from identical! After creating a dynasty of movies, tv shows, cartoons and books - the girls have taken a step back from the acting world, but who knows, maybe a reunion is on the horizon!
Another One!
Speaking of throwback faves, let's take a moment to remember when Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox shared the screen for Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. While both these actresses have been MIA for a while, it never hurts to remember the good ol' times!
Viola Davis or Jennifer Lopez?
While everyone knows these iconic ladies by name, few people know about the film they co-stared in together, Lila and Eve, that was released back in 2015. Both Viola and Jennifer have made us laugh and cry with their emotional and incredible performances on TV and on the big screen, while reminding us women can really have it all - families, fortune, careers and true love!
Jenna Fischer or Angela Kingsley?
These on screen rivals are real life best friends, which is enough to give us all major BFF goals! Jenna and Angela are both sweet and successful actors, while still maintaining healthy career since The Office ended years ago. Keep up with their social media for major throwbacks and amazing behind the scenes story times!
Amy Adams or Isla Fisher?
These two red heads often get mistaken for each other, but true fans can tell these ladies apart! Both have appeared in successful films with notable co-stars. Fisher is best known for her work in Wedding Crashers and starring in Confessions of a Shopaholic, while Adams got critical acclaim for her role in American Hustle and most recently in the breakout TV series, Sharp Objects.
Chris Rock or Kevin Hart?
This question is like being stuck between a Rock and a Hart place, amirite? Both of these comedians have made us laugh until we cry, or have helped us stop crying, by making us laugh so much! Whether it's a standup special or a big screen movie, the comedy world eats it up!
Cole Sprouse or KJ Apa?
With Riverdale being one of the hottest shows on TV, it's no surprise the buzz is not just around Betty and Veronica, but Jughead and Archie as well! Cole Sprouse has grown up since he shared the Suite Life with his brother Dylan. Now, he's sharing the screen with acting heavy weight KJ Apa!
Margot Robbie or Saoirse Ronan?
These Emmy nominated actresses have become household names in the acting world in the past few years, and with their future endeavour together as co-stars in the historical film "Mary Queen of Scots," we are sure to see their smiling faces side by side, a lot more!
