This isn't the same thing, but I remember an interview with Kirsten Dunst not to long after the 2002 Spider Man movie. That movie was a phenomenon that opening weekend.

She was talking about how, literally, she was out on the streets shopping and stuff that weekend and maybe 1 in a 100 people might sort of kind of recognizer her, if that...maybe no one....and by the end of the weekend it was like someone had flipped a light switch and she was a "famous person" and it freaked her out. That has to be weird, to go from just doing your thing and being a normal person to everyone knowing you overnight.

It's hard to understand because he's been around all of our lives as a huge star, but Tom Cruise. Homie went from a bit player in 81 and then blew up in 83 with his first starring role in risky business

How old are you ? Cruise been killing since before I was born.


And this from nobody to someone can be applied to every actor who wasnt a singer/Rapper before they started acting.

I'm leaning more towards kid actors and that twilight sh!t

Kevin Hart. I always hated him and thought he was an average af comedian. Now all of a sudden he's like the new go to black comedian in Hollywood?!? Did I miss something? Mike Epps is way funnier and never got his shine the way Kevin Hart is getting his.

Chris Pratt. Who would have known that Parks And Recs funny man would be the new superstar actor in Hollywood. From The Lego Movie, GOTG and now Jurassic World. No one has jumped to the big screen in a bigger way than he has.
you didnt like Paper Soldiers?:what:
Thats the first shyt I seen him in

son said "hated him" tho :deadmanny:

Breh the question was the actor or actress who went from nothing to a star overnight. That's cruise. He went from a small role to a starring role in his second movie and it was a hit. That's unheard of

Well who knows how many years/auditions he had ?

Pretty sure Sylvester Stallone is up there too. He even wrote the script.

Bradley Cooper.

I remember this guy playing filler roles in those Adam Sandler joints. Now look at the guy.
first role i remember him in was that a$$hole guy from wedding crashers :heh: had no idea he actually had some acting chops, though he played a rich a$$hole quite well
