Some actors are born heroes. A chiselled jawline, a pleasant face and a penchant for respectable roles can paint some actors into a heroic corner that makes everything they do seem admirable.
These are the guys you want to be flying the plane when the engine falls off, the people who you ask to fight for you in court, the ones who might make an inspiring speech at your wedding.
Some actors might be naturals at playing heroes, but when they occasionally decide to try something different, they often prove they’re even better at being bad.
Salman Khan: Salman was sentenced to 5 years prison for his famous hit and run case. He was also involved in the killing of endangered black dear. His name also had been in the limelight when he slapped one of the journalists.
