Whether or not you agree with his recent comments in Playboy, there's no denying Gary Oldman is one of the great actors of our time.

Ever since breaking out in 1986's "Sid and Nancy" as the self-destructing Sex Pistol Sid Vicious, Oldman has transformed himself from one role to the next. A true chameleon, the actor changes his voice for every part and is nearly unrecognizable in films like "True Romance" (1993) and "The Contender" (2000). Despite his enormous influence among fellow actors, Oldman shuns the spotlight and has only once been nominated for an Oscar. Oldman turns in yet another stirring performance (despite limited screen time) in this summer's "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes".

From his famous ex-wife to his rejection from a prestigious drama school, here are 27 things you probably don't know about Gary Oldman.

1. Gary Oldman was born on March 21, 1958 in London, England to Kathleen Cheriton and Leonard Bertram Oldman.

2. His father was a sailor-turned-welder, who left the family when the future actor was only seven years old.

3. Oldman left school at 16 to work in a sports shop.

4. As a child, Oldman also played piano and sang, and had dreams to become a musician -- but all that changed in 1971.

5. Oldman was inspired to become an actor after seeing Malcolm McDowell's performance in "The Raging Moon" (1971). As Oldman told Charlie Rose in a 1995 interview, "Something about Malcolm just arrested me, and I connected, and I said, 'I wanna do that.'"

6. Oldman began studying at the Young People's Theatre in Greenwich. Later, he won a scholarship to Rose Buford College in Kent. He graduated in 1979 with a BA in Acting.

7. Before enrolling at Rose Buford, however, the actor was turned down by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). They even advised him to choose a different profession!

8. While at Rose Buford, he appeared in a production of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Oldman played the mischievous spirit Puck.

9. When not honing his craft as an actor, he worked several jobs on the side. Besides selling shoes and working as a porter in an operating theatre, Oldman also beheaded pigs in a slaughterhouse. Considering some of his crazier roles, the gory and unusual job seems oddly fitting.

10. In 1982, Oldman made his film debut in "Remembrance".

11. Shortly after, he would co-star opposite another young and up-and-coming British actor, Tim Roth ("Reservoir Dogs"). They appeared together in "Meantime" (1984), written and directed by Mike Leigh ("Happy-Go-Lucky").

12. A year later, Oldman was awarded the 1985 London Critics Circle Theatre Award for Best Actor. He earned the prestigious award for his performance in "The Pope's Wedding".

13. His big film break came when he portrayed Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious in "Sid and Nancy" (1986).

14. The performance earned Oldman the Evening Standard Film Award for Most Promising Newcomer.

15. Throughout his career, Oldman has portrayed several real life figures: Sid Vicious in "Sid and Nancy" (1986), Joe Orton in "Prick Up Your Ears" (1987), Lee Harvey Oswald in "JFK" (1991), and Beethoven in "Immortal Beloved" (1994).

16. Oldman filmed a role in Terrence Malick's "The Thin Red Line," however, his scenes were cut from the final. This was the case for many acclaimed actors, who jumped at the chance to work with Malick for his comeback film, knowing full well their parts might be deleted from the final cut.

17. He submitted a pre-recorded voice audition for the role of General Grievous in "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" (2005). The role went to Matthew Wood instead.

18. Despite his many critically-acclaimed roles, Oldman has only received one Oscar nomination. He was nominated for Best Actor for "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (2011).

19. Empire magazine also named him one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history (#72).

20. As for his personal life, the actor has been married four times and has three children, all sons. He's spouses include Lesley Manville (1 son), Uma Thurman, Donya Fiorentino (2 sons), and his current wife, Alexandra Edenborough.

21. Oldman and actress Uma Thurman met on the set of "State of Grace" (1990) and were married soon after.

22. After calling it quits with Thurman, the actor was involved with Italian actress Isabella Rossellini for a couple years.

23. In 1991, Oldman was arrested in Los Angeles for drunk driving. His passenger was friend Kiefer Sutherland.

24. Oldman has described himself as a recovering alcoholic and credits Alcoholics Anonymous for helping him beat the addiction.

25. Although he gave up a music to pursue acting, Oldman sang a duet with David Bowie on the track "You've Been Around." The song was featured on the 1995 album "The Sacred Squall of Now," by Reeves Gabrels, Bowie's longtime guitarist.

26. He also appeared in David Bowie's music video "The Next Day" as a priest. Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard was also featured in the video.

27. Recently, Oldman was in hot water over comments he made in a Playboy interview regarding political correctness.

Dane Cook is one of the most financially successful comics of all time -- he's also one of the most controversial.

Cook exploded onto the national scene with two certified platinum comedy albums and historic sold-out shows, though many people questioned the origin of several of his jokes. But whether you believe he's "stolen" material from other comics (like Louis C.K.) or not, there's little denying his talent and presence as a performer. With starring roles in "Good Luck Chuck"(2007) and "Dan In Real Life" (2007), Cook is no stranger to the silver screen. This summer, the comic/actor returns as the voice of Dusty Crophopper in "Planes: Fire & Rescue."

From his superhero audition to his embezzling brother, here are 21 things you probably don't know about Dane Cook.

1. Dane Cook was born March 18, 1972 in Cambridge, Massachusetts to Donna Jean Ford and George F. Cook.

2. Cook's family was Roman Catholic.

3. He has five sisters and an older half-brother, Darryl.

4. Darryl was Cook's business manager, but it was discovered in 2008 that Darryl and his wife had been stealing millions of dollars from the comedian. Both Darryl and his wife have been sentenced to prison.

5. Admittedly a shy and introverted child, Cook broke out of his shell and began acting and doing stand-up during his junior year of high school.

6. In college, Cook studied graphic design as a back-up plan just in case his comedy dreams didn't work out.

7. Although he did become a successful actor and comedian, graphic design is still part of his life. Today, he designs all of his merchandise and also made the cover for his comedy album "Harmful If Swallowed" (2003).

8. "Harmful If Swallowed" was Cook's first comedy album and went on to become certified platinum.

9. His first break came when he appeared on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," a stand-up comedy series, in 1998.

10. Cook's follow-up to "Harmful If Swallowed" was 2005's "Retaliation." The comedy album went double platinum.

11. Crazier yet, it was the first time in 29 years a comic had an album at No. 4 on the Billboard charts.

12. As a result, Cook performed at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, where he also presented Best New Artist with Snoop Dogg.

13. On December 3rd of that year, Cook also hosted "Saturday Night Live". A year later, the comedian found himself hosting the show again for its Season 32 premiere.

14. On November 12, 2007, Cook became only the second comic to sell out Madison Square Garden. And he even did two sell out shows in one night...

15. The comic has described his onstage persona as a mix of the personalities of his mother and father.

16. In 2007, Cook broke The Laugh Factory's endurance record that was previously held by Richard Pryor, setting the mark at 3 hours 50 minutes. Yet, just five days later, Dave Chappelle broke Cook's record. Was there some unwritten rule about not going after Pryor's record? Regardless, only months later, Cook broke the record yet again by performing on stage for a shocking 7 hours.

17. Throughout all his success, Cook has been disliked by several fellow comics, who felt Cook was unfunny and has an inflated ego. Worse yet, many people have accused Cook of stealing several comedians' jokes, such as stand-up routines from Louis C.K's 2003 album "Live in Houston."

18. This ultimately led to a hilarious and heartfelt appearance by Cook on Louis C.K.'s acclaimed show "Louie" to acknowledge the accusations.

19. Cook started his film career with a small role in "Mystery Men" (1999) and a starring role opposite Dennis Rodman in "Simon Sez" (1999).

20. The comic even auditioned for the role of Captain America for "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011), though he was apparently not on the short list for the part.

Bonus Fact: Cook has said he does not do drugs or drink.

No matter the stage, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is one of the best performers of his generation.

Breaking out on the WWF circuit in the mid-90s as the smack-talking "The Rock," Johnson eventually outgrew the ring and brought his talents to the big screen. The starring roles came immediately with sleeper hits such as "The Rundown" (2003) and "Walking Tall" (2004), and it wasn't long before the big blockbusters came calling. This summer, Johnson is (extra) bulked up and portraying the mythical hero in "Hercules".

From his incredible wrestling lineage to his surprising NFL teammate, here are 29 things you probably don't know about Dwayne Johnson.

1. Dwayne Johnson was born May 2, 1972 in Hayward, California to Ata Maivia and Rocky Johnson, a professional wrestler.

2. Johnson's grandfather was also a professional wrestler, "High Chief" Peter Maivia, making The Rock a third-generation wrestler. In fact, he was the WWF's first third-generation wrestler, and was heavily hyped upon his professional arrival.

3. His maternal grandmother, Lia Maivia, was also a professional wrestling promoter and took over Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling after her husband passed away.

4. He has several cousins and uncles who are/were also professional wrestlers. Needless to say, wrestling is a family business.

5. Johnson traveled around growing up, living in Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and even New Zealand as a child.

6. Johnson's father, Rocky Johnson, is of Black Nova Scotian origin, while his mother is of Samoan heritage.

7. Despite not having been born in Canada, The Rock became a Canadian citizen in 2009 due to changes in Canadian nationality law. In short, he gained the citizenship because his father was born in Canada. (He is also a citizen of the United States.)

8. When he was at high school in Pennsylvania, Johnson began playing football and, subsequently, earned a full scholarship to play defensive tackle at the University of Miami.

9. He was a member of the 1991 Miami Hurricanes' National Championship team.

10. Later, after an injury sidelined him, Johnson was replaced by future NFL star Warren Sapp.

11. He went undrafted by the NFL, but graduated with a degree in criminology and physiology.

12. With football still on his mind, Johnson joined the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL), though was he cut only two months into their season.

13. Now that his football career was over, Johnson decided to join the family business. Rocky Johnson was initially reluctant for his son to become a wrestler, but ultimately he agreed to train him himself.

14. His first wrestling alter ego was Flex Kavana.

15. The name didn't stick, however, and Johnson made his WWF debut as Rocky Maivia at the encouragement of Vince McMahon and Jim Ross. The name is a combination of his father and grandfather's ring names.

16. By 1997, the wrestler began going by The Rock, no longer even acknowledging his previous moniker.

17. The Rock had an incredibly accomplished wrestling career that included 8 WWF/WWE Championships before retiring in 2004.

18. He later returned to WWE part-time from 2011 to 2013.

19. In 2000, he was featured on Wyclef Jean's single "It Doesn't Matter" and also appeared in the music video.

20. That same year, Johnson hosted "Saturday Night Live" and, subsequently, began receiving offers from Hollywood studios.

21. Soon after, he appeared on "Star Trek: Voyager," as an alien wrestler that not so coincidentally uses all of The Rock's signature moves.

22. He even appeared on "That '70s Show" as his father!

23. The Rock's film debut was as The Scorpion King in "The Mummy Returns" (2001).

24. The film launched the spinoff "The Scorpion King" (2002), which marked Johnson's first leading role.

25. He also received $5.5 million for the movie, the highest by an actor in his or her first starring role.

26. Around this time, he was considered to play Johnny Bravo in a big screen adaptation of the popular animated series. Unfortunately, the film never got off the ground.

27. It seems Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has had success wherever he turns. In 2013, Forbes named him the top-grossing actor of 2013, his films collectively earning over $1.3 billion at the box office worldwide.

28. As far as his personal life goes, Johnson married Dany Garcia in May, 1997 after dating since their days together at the University of Miami. The couple welcomed a daughter, Simone Alexandra, in 2001; however, the couple split in 2007.

Bonus Fact: Johnson co-wrote his autobiography "The Rock Says..." in 2000. The book debuted at No. 1 on The New York Times Best Seller list and remained on the list for about five months!

Chris Pratt is now a full-fledged action star.

One of the most likable actors today, Pratt found a home on network television from the start with recurring roles on "Everwood," "The O.C.," and, of course, on "Parks and Recreation." Rather than just sticking with the small screen, the actor slowly showed his range and landed in a string of Oscar-nominated films in supporting, but memorable, roles. This summer, Pratt takes the next step in his career when he can be seen starring in Marvel's latest blockbuster "Guardians of the Galaxy."

From his Bubba Gump Shrimp past to his famous wife, here are 17 things you probably don't know about Chris Pratt.

1. Chris Pratt was born June 21, 1979 in Virginia, Minnesota to Kathy Indahl and Dan Pratt.

2. Pratt was raised in Lake Stevens, Washington.

3. Growing up, Pratt wrestled and even finished fifth in a state wrestling tournament in high school.

4. This probably led him to try to fight his "Guardians of the Galaxy" co-star, Dave Bautista, who is a WWE wrestler. Bautista, who goes by the stage name Batista, is also a 6' 6" behemoth of a man.

5. Before he got into acting, Pratt was waiting tables at a Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant in Maui, Hawaii.

6. It was there where he was discovered by actor/director Rae Dawn Chong, one of Tommy Chong's daughters, who cast him in his first role.

7. The part was in the horror short "Cursed Part 3" (2000).

8. Two years later, Pratt got his first substantial role on the WB show "Everwood," which aired for 4 seasons.

9. While shooting, he began dating his onscreen sister, Emily VanCamp. While that was probably creepy to a couple people, Pratt acknowledged their onscreen relationship never weirded VanCamp or him out because the show was all fiction.

10. After "Everwood," Pratt appeared on the popular teen-soap "The O.C." as Ché, a student activist from Brown University. Here he is singing a song (naked) to Seth.

11. Perhaps best known for his role as Andy in "Parks and Recreation," Pratt was only cast as a guest star in Season 1 with the intention his character would be temporary. Needless to say, his character was a hit, and Pratt was soon written into the show as a regular.

12. Pratt lost 50 pounds in four months to get in shape for his role in "Moneyball" as real-life ballplayer Scott Hatteberg.

13. The actor went through another dramatic transformation for his role as Star-Lord in "Guardians of the Galaxy" (check out the photo). James Gunn was so certain that Pratt was right for the role -- after only 30 seconds of his audition -- that he didn't care if Pratt was in shape or not. Gunn even figured he could always CGI a six-pack onto the actor.

14. As for his personal life, Pratt is married to actress Anna Faris -- a fellow Washington State native. The couple met on the set of "Take Me Home Tonight" and became engaged soon after.

15. In 2009, they were married in a small ceremony in Bali, Indonesia.

16. The two actors welcomed a son in August 2012.

Bonus Fact: For the past three years (2011-2013), Pratt has appeared in three Best Picture Oscar nominees: "Moneyball," "Zero Dark Thirty," and "Her."

This summer, the actress re-teams with Michael Bay -- following their reconciliation -- for another film adaptation of a classic cartoon, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Since breaking out, Fox has been seen in "Jennifer's Body" and "This Is 40," gotten married to her longtime boyfriend, Brian Austin Green, and popped out a couple kids. Now, she's back in action as April O'Neil and looking better than ever.

1. Megan Fox was born May 16, 1986 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to Gloria Cisson and Franklin Thomas Fox.

2. After her parents divorced when she was young, Fox was raised by her mother and stepfather in St. Petersburg, Florida.

3. Fox attended Catholic school and, as part of an agreement with her mother, she had to earn her diploma before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting. Fox has said her Christian faith is still very important to her.

4. While at school, though, Fox acknowledged she wasn't popular and didn't have any girlfriends. As a result, she was sometimes forced to eat lunch in the bathroom.

5. When she was still a young kid, Fox was a talented swimmer and -- according to her mother -- broke the previous record time for the 8-and-under medley at her recreation center.

6. She also started training in drama and dance when she was just 5 years old.

7. Fox's modeling career proved most successful from the start, however, and by the time she was 13, she had won several competitions.

8. When she was 15, she made her acting debut in the direct-to-DVD "Holiday in the Sun" (2001).

9. Shortly after, Fox was a guest-star on "Two and a Half Men" and an uncredited extra in Michael Bay's "Bad Boys II" (2003).

10. One of her first big roles was in 2004's "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" opposite Lindsay Lohan, in which she played Carla Santini, a rival of Lohan's character.

11. But it was the blockbuster hit "Transformers" in 2007 that made Fox a breakout star and an international sex symbol.

12. She was immediately featured on numerous "Hot Lists" and was even ranked No. 1 on Moviefone's "The 25 Hottest Actors Under 25" in 2008.

13. When she showed up on the set for "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," the second installment of the franchise, director Michael Bay asked her to put on 10 pounds because she looked too skinny.

14. While continuing to act in feature films, Fox also appeared in Eminem and Rihanna's music video for the single "Love the Way You Lie" opposite "LOST" actor Dominic Monaghan.

15. As for her personal life, Fox began dating Brian Austin Green in 2004 when she was 18 years old and he was 30. The couple met on the set of "Hope & Faith" on which Fox was a series regular.

16. Green's home was later robbed by the group known as "The Bling Ring" as a result of Fox living there! The celebrity-obsessed criminals inspired the Sofia Coppola film "The Bling Ring" (2013), which starred Emma Watson.

17. Fox and Green were married in Maui in the summer of 2010.

18. The couple now have two children together: Noah Shannon Green and Bodhi Ransom Green. Green also has a third son from his relationship with "Beverly Hills, 90210" actress Vanessa Marcil.

19. The actress has nine tattoos (that we know of), including an image of Marilyn Monroe's face on her right forearm. She has since gotten the tattoo removed.

20. Fox reportedly developed a fear of flying when she was 20 years old. How does she cope with the phobia? She listens to Britney Spears.

Bonus Fact: Fox has revealed that Shia LaBeouf, her co-star in "Transformers," is one of her favorite people in the world and that he can make her laugh harder than anybody.

Taylor Swift may not be a movie star (yet), but her talents are already known worldwide.

Since blowing up in 2008, Swift has been hard to miss, known as much for her acclaimed music as for her rather public relationships. With numerous Grammys and multi-platinum albums already under her belt, she's turning her attention to the big screen. This week, the renowned musician can be seen in the film adaptation of "The Giver," starring Jeff Bridges, Brenton Thwaites, and Meryl Streep.

From her early success as a poet to her first acting role, here are 27 things you probably don't know about Taylor Swift.

1. Taylor Alison Swift was born December 13, 1989 in Reading, Pennsylvania to Andrea Finlay and Scott Swift.

3. Her mother worked as a mutual fund marketing executive before becoming a homemaker, while her father is a financial adviser.

4. Swift has one sibling, Austin, who recently graduated from the University of Notre Dame.

5. The future musician's first hobby was horse riding, which she began as just a toddler.

6. By age nine, however, Swift had developed an interest in musical theater and began performing in productions for the Berks Youth Theatre Academy.

7. Soon, the singer was interested in country music and often performed in local festivals. She won a local competition with a rendition of LeAnn Rimes's "Big Deal."

8. Inspired by Faith Hill's "Behind the Music" episode, the 11-year-old Swift journeyed to Nashville, Tennessee to make her music dreams a reality. She left her demo -- consisting of Dolly Parton and Dixie Chicks karaoke covers -- to several record labels in the city. She was rejected by all of them.

9. As a result, Swift took up the guitar to distinguish herself from other aspiring country stars. She also began writing her own songs, largely spurred by her talent in poetry.

10. When she was 10, Swift won a national poetry contest for a poem titled "Monster in My Closet."

11. After she began writing and performing her own material, Swift landed an artist development deal with RCA Records.

12. Swift ended up leaving RCA when she was just 15, however, because the label wanted her to work with and write for other artists and delay the recording of her own album until she was 18.

13. She soon caught the eye of Scott Borchetta, formerly of a DreamWorks Records executive, who was forming his own label, Big Machine Records. Borchetta signed Swift to the emerging label.

14. And Swift's father bought a 3% stake in the company that has undoubtedly paid off; the label now rakes in somewhere in the high eight figures annually.

15. With the record label still only in its infancy, Swift and her mother personally helped stuff Swift's singles into envelopes to send out to radio stations.

16. She was also revolutionary in her use of social media -- Myspace, at the time -- to reach a younger audience, teenage girls much like herself.

17. Swift's eponymous debut album was released in the fall of 2006 and became a multi-platinum success.

18. Her follow-up album, "Fearless," became an even bigger hit and won Swift four Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Best Country Album.

19. To date, she has won seven Grammy Awards.

20. Swift was also famously interrupted by Kanye West during her acceptance speech for the MTV Video Music Award for "Best Female Video."

21. When Swift hosted "Saturday Night Live," she was the first host to ever write her own monologue.

22. Her role in "The Giver" isn't her first onscreen part. She made her acting debut as a rebellious teen on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" in 2009.

23. She also voice the character of Audrey in "The Lorax" (2012).

24. Due to several high-profile relationships, Swift's personal life has been anything but private. Swift has dated singer Joe Jonas, actor Taylor Lautner, musician John Mayer, actor Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor Kennedy, and One Direction singer Harry Styles.

25. Swift is also very close with actress Emma Stone and singer Selena Gomez and says they are "like sisters to [her]."

26. Lena Dunham of "Girls" fame described Swift and herself as "artistic kindred spirits."

Bonus Fact: She has two cats, one named Meredith Grey and the other named Olivia Benson. Both are named after TV characters in "Grey's Anatomy" and "SVU," respectively. Check out the cute Olivia Benson below.

Before starring in "Guardians of the Galaxy," the summer blockbuster that has made over $200 million at the box office, not to mention his stint on "Parks and Rec," Chris Pratt's life was... different. His extremely humble beginnings start in Hawaii, living out of a van and waiting tables at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. Luckily, actor/director Rae Dawn Chong gave Chris Pratt a role in "Cursed Part 3," and the rest is history.

Take a look at this unbelievable photo of him and of the van that he called home in Maui, Hawaii.

Eva Green never let her role as a Bond Girl typecast her, and, today, the actress is working more than ever.

After getting her start in an erotic Bertolucci film and breaking out in 2005's "Casino Royale," Green has played one captivating role after another. She was a standout in Tim Burton's poorly received "Dark Shadows" (2012) opposite Johnny Depp and is currently earning rave reviews for her mysterious and supernaturally-charged Vanessa in Showtime's "Penny Dreadful."

8. When she was 14, Green was hit by the acting bug after seeing Isabelle Adjani, famed French actress, in "The Story of Adele H." (1975).

9. She was very shy and sensitive in her youth, making her parents reluctant to allow Green to act and become vulnerable on stage. Soon, though, they supported their daughters ambition.

10. She's not alone. Green admitted the atmosphere on the set of "Franklyn" (2008) was strange because her co-star Ryan Phillippe was also very shy.

11. Supported by her parents, the aspiring actress began taking drama courses in Paris and London before attending the American University of Paris, an English-speaking institution.

12. In a BBC interview, Green stated she "picked the really evil roles" at drama school because "it's a great way to deal with your everyday emotions."

13. After appearing on stage, Green migrated to film and made her screen debut in renowned director Bernardo Bertolucci's NC-17 "The Dreamers" (2003).

14. The role required extensive full-frontal nudity and graphic sex scenes. Both her parents, and even her agent, hoped she wouldn't take the part.

15. It definitely worked out for her. Director Ridley Scott took note of her performance in "The Dreamers" and cast Green in his medieval epic "Kingdom of Heaven" (2005).

16. And she was hired only a week before production began!

17. Her big break came in the James Bond film "Casino Royale" (2005), when she portrayed a Bond girl.

18. Green admitted she was reluctant to take the role, and even opted to not audition early in the process, but eventually the part came back to the actress. After reading the script and realizing Vesper Lynd (the character) was deeper than most Bond girls, Green agreed to a screen test and received the part.

19. After her breakout role in "Casino Royale," Green became an international sex symbol and topped several "Hot Lists," including being ranked as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history by Empire Magazine.

20. The actress also nearly worked with Lars von Trier, controversial director of films such as "Nymphomaniac" (2014) and "Melancholia" (2011). Green got along well with Trier, but admits that the nudity, sex, and violence just went a little too far.

21. As for her personal life, Green dated her "Kingdom of Heaven" co-star Marton Csokas, though they split in 2009 after four years together.

22. Prior to his involvement with Carla Bruni, French President Nicolas Sarkozy invited Green to join him on his campaign trail. They had never met and she politely declined.

23. The actress is a homebody and leads a low-key life, opting to hang at home "with a glass of wine and a good book" instead of partying.

24. She also plays classical music, having studied piano and flute.

25. Green is interested in taxidermy, and collects preserved skulls and insects. She owns a massive bull's head, which she admits "is quite shocking."

26. The actress filmed "300: Rise of an Empire" (2014) and "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" (2014) back to back. Both films are sequels and based on comic books by Frank Miller.

27. (Bonus fact) Surprisingly, the actress is a natural dark blonde and started dying her hair black when she was a teenager.

Arguably the greatest female comedic actor ever (she has the Emmys to prove it), Julia Louis-Dreyfus hardly needs an introduction.

At only 21 years old, the actress was cast on "Saturday Night Live," a Cinderella-like start for the young New York native. While the show didn't catapult her to fame, it was a stepping-stone that culminated with her landing the role of Elaine Benes on "Seinfeld" (1989 - 1998). Proving there's no "'Seinfeld' curse," Louis-Dreyfus has had plenty of success since the acclaimed NBC sitcom ended, raking in several Emmys along the way. Just this summer, she took home her latest trophy for her work on HBO's "Veep."

From her eyebrow-raising family background to her actress half-sister, here are 21 things you probably don't know about Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

1. Julia Scarlett Elizabeth Louis-Dreyfus was born January 13, 1961 in New York, New York to Judith LeFever and Gérard Louis-Dreyfus.

2. Her parents divorced when Louis-Dreyfus was still just a baby. She later relocated to Washington D.C. with her mother, who remarried when Julia was eight years old.

3. Her half-sister is actress Lauren Bowles, best known for her supporting role in "True Blood." She also appeared as a waitress in this great episode of "Seinfeld."

4. Louis-Dreyfus's father is a French-born American businessman, who is the chairman of Louis Dreyfus Energy Services, a multi-billion dollar French commodities and shipping conglomerate. The actress's great-great-grandfather founded the company in 1851.

5. So, to say the actress is wealthy would be an understatement. Louis-Dreyfus is worth about $200 million in her own right, mostly from her "Seinfeld" success.

6. The acclaimed sitcom ran for nine seasons with a total of 180 episodes and earned Louis-Dreyfus her first Emmy win.

7. Overall, she has been nominated for 18 Emmys (15 as an actress) and taken home 5 awards. She has won the last three Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for "Veep."

8. She's also the only actress to net three wins for three separate comedy series: "Seinfeld," "The New Adventures of Old Christine," and "Veep."

9. Her 15 nominations also make her the most-nominated comedic actress in Emmy history. Lucille Ball ("I Love Lucy") is second with 13 nominations.

10. She's also received a Razzie nomination for her role in "Father's Day" (1997). Luckily, though, she avoided the dubious honor when she "lost" the award to Alicia Silverstone for "Batman & Robin."

11. Before her incredible success, Louis-Dreyfus attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where she studied theatre.

12. It was there that she met her future husband, writer/actor Brad Hall. Hall and Louis-Dreyfus have been married since 1987 and have two sons together.

13. After school, the actress pursued her acting dreams and was subsequently cast on "Saturday Night Live" in 1982. She was the youngest female cast member in the history of the show at the time and described the experience as "Cinderella-getting-to-go-to-the-ball."

14. Hall also appeared on "SNL" at the same time, making them the only husband and wife team to do so.

15. While on "SNL," where she stayed until 1985, the actress met writer Larry David, who would later cast her in "Seinfeld."

16. After leaving "SNL," the actress made her film debut in the fantasy horror movie "Troll" (1986).

17. That same year, she appeared in Woody Allen's "Hannah and Her Sisters."

18. In 1988, Louis-Dreyfus was cast in her first NBC sitcom "Day by Day," though the show was cancelled after only two seasons.

19. Her next NBC sitcom, of course, was "Seinfeld," but believe it or not, she was not originally meant to appear in the series. The pilot episode ("The Seinfeld Chronicles") lacked a female presence, and the network demanded that an actress be cast.

20. Ultimately, Louis-Dreyfus won the part after beating out several other actresses that would rise to prominence: Patricia Heaton ("Everybody Love Raymond"), Megan Mullally ("Will & Grace"), and Rosie O'Donnell.

21. (Bonus fact) The actress's paternal grandfather, Pierre Louis-Dreyfus fought in the French Resistance and later flew in 81 bombing missions on the Western Front during WWII.

Twenty-five years after he first donned the cape as Batman, Michael Keaton is back and exploring his superhero past.

Keaton got his start on "Mister Rogers," though, most of his work was surprisingly behind the scenes. It really wouldn't be until 1982 that the actor would break out in Ron Howard's "Night Shift," and a few years later, his career went into overdrive. After collaborating with Tim Burton on "Beetlejuice" (1988), the director cast him as the legendary Bruce Wayne in "Batman" (1989). This fall, he revisits his superhero past in Alejandro González Iñárritu's "Birdman," and the acclaim is already rolling in.

From his connection to "LOST" to his history with Larry David, here are 29 things you probably don't know about Michael Keaton.

1. Michael Keaton was born September 5, 1951 in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania to Leona Loftus and George A. Douglas.

2. His father worked as a civil engineer and surveyor, while his mother was a homemaker.

3. Keaton was the youngest of seven children.

4. He was also raised Catholic, though he acknowledges he's not very religious today.

5. Keaton was born Michael John Douglas and took the stage name Keaton to avoid confusion with "Wall Street" actor Michael Douglas. His birth name is still his legal name, though. Clearly, being named Michael Douglas is a cheat code for Hollywood success.

6. There was also already a daytime host and broadcaster named Mike Douglas. At one point, Keaton was actually on his show!

7. There are varying reports as to whether he took the surname Keaton because of Diane Keaton, but he's denied that rumor.

8. He was even close to taking the name Michael Jackson due to his brothers calling him Jackson as a nickname for John. Needless to say, that didn't work out.

9. Before he became Michael Keaton, however, he studied speech for two years at Kent State.

10. He left school early to try his hand at stand-up comedy, but that didn't take immediately and he had to take a steady job.

11. One of the first people he met doing stand-up was Larry David.

12. In 1975, he worked on "Mister Rogers" as a crew member making $2.25 an hour.

13. It was on Fred Rogers's show that he made an early onscreen appearance as one of the "Flying Zucchini Brothers."

14. In 2004, he even hosted the PBS special "Mr. Rogers: America's Favorite Neighbor," which honored the late Rogers.

15. After moving to Los Angeles, Keaton landed a starring role alongside James Belushi in "Working Stiffs" (1979). Unfortunately, the show was short-lived, lasting only eight episodes.

16. The show, however, influenced his casting in Ron Howard's "Night Shift" (1982) opposite Henry Winkler.

17. Later in the decade, after starring in Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice" (1988), Burton cast Keaton as Bruce Wayne in "Batman" (1989).

18. Warner Bros. received thousands of letters in protest of the actor's casting as the superhero. But Keaton earned acclaim from critics and audiences, and "Batman" proved successful at the box office, prompting a sequel.

19. After "Batman Returns" (1992), Burton was dropped as the director of a third live-action Batman film and, subsequently, Keaton left the project, too. The actor didn't like the lighthearted tone of the screenplay and even turned down Warner Bros. $15 million counter-offer.

20. Besides playing Bruce Wayne in two films, Keaton also twice portrayed the Elmore Leonard character Agent Ray Nicolette. He played Nicolette in Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" (1997) and Soderbergh's "Out of Sight" (1998).

21. In 2002, the actor earned his first Golden Globe nomination for his starring role in "Live From Baghdad," a TV movie about journalists reporting during the Gulf War.

22. A couple years later, Keaton was slated to play Jack Shepard in "LOST." Really. The show's creator, J.J. Abrams, planned to kill off the actor in the pilot episode for a big WTF moment, but the network eventually didn't think it was beneficial to the show's long-term success. With ABC wishing for Jack Shepard to stick around for more episodes, Keaton bowed out of the series.

23. As for his personal life, Keaton was married to actress Caroline McWilliams from 1982 until 1990. The couple have one son together, Sean Maxwell Douglas, born in 1983.

24. Directly following his marriage, Keaton was in a relationship with a pre-"Friends" Courteney Cox until 1995.

25. In his free time, the actor is an avid sportsman and sports fan. He's a diehard Pittsburgh Pirates and Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

26. He also enjoys fly fishing and fishes on his 1,000 acre ranch in Montana.

27. He also has a ranch in Santa Barbara, California and a home in Pacific Palisades.

28. He can next be seen playing the title role in Alejandro González Iñárritu's "Birdman," playing a former superhero actor who puts on a play in an attempt at respectability. The part seems appropriate. The filmmaker recently said he wanted Keaton because he could navigate drama and comedy and add "a meta-dialogue to the film."

29. Here he is doing stand-up in 1980.

11. In September 2010, however, the actor was romantically linked to Holly Goodchild. She's said that they're "really old friends and it just sort of happened."

12. That same year, Evans made his feature film debut as Apollo in "Clash of the Titans."

13. A year later, he played another Greek god, Zeus, in "Immortals" (2011).

14. His star has taken off since starring in "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" as Bard the Bowman. He'll reprise his role in "The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies," the last of the trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson.

15. One of the actor's favorite books is "The Lovely Bones," which was adapted to the screen by none other than Jackson.

16. Evans is set to star in the remake of "The Crow," which has yet to begin filming.

17. Bonus Fact: If Evans hadn't become a performer, he'd have been a forensic pathologist due to a keen interest in biology as a teenager.

Since breaking out over 20 years ago in "Thelma & Louise," Brad Pitt has been difficult to miss.

After landing his place in cinematic history as a hunky (and shirtless) criminal, Pitt's career blossomed with starring roles in critical and box office hits alike, such as "A River Runs Through It" (1992), "Seven" (1995), and "12 Monkeys" (1995) -- just to name a few. In the past two decades, Pitt has become one of Hollywood's biggest stars, but his role has expanded beyond just acting. In only the past few years, he's produced two Best Picture nominated films, "Moneyball" (2011) and "12 Years a Slave" (2013). This fall, he's back in front of the camera leading his battle-hardened platoon into Nazi Germany in "Fury."

From his early days in Missouri to his unlikely romances, here are 35 things you probably don't know about Brad Pitt.

1. Brad Pitt was born December 18, 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma to Jane Hillhouse and William Pitt.

2. His mother was a school counselor, while his father ran a trucking company.

3. Pitt has two younger siblings, Douglas and Julie, each three years apart.

4. Douglas Pitt is a successful businessman and philanthropist, who became the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Republic of Tanzania in 2010.

5. Pitt and his siblings were raised in a strong Southern Baptist household, but he admits he isn't particularly religious and "oscillate[s] between agnosticism and atheism."

6. Although he was born in Oklahoma, Pitt was raised in Springfield, Missouri, which he described on "Inside the Actors Studio" as "Mark Twain country, Jesse James country." He has the guns to prove it!

7. "I got my grandfather's shotgun when I was in kindergarten." Pitt has been a gun owner since the age of 6 and fired his first handgun when he was 8. The actor acknowledged that it's simply a rite of passage to inherit your ancestors' guns in Missouri.

8. In school, he was also a member of the tennis, golf, and swimming teams and participated in school debates and musicals.

9. After high school, he enrolled in the University of Missouri as a journalism major, but felt unsatisfied as graduation approached.

10. With only two weeks before earning his degree, Pitt packed up and headed to Los Angeles to cut his teeth as an actor.

11. To support himself while he auditioned, the future star worked for El Pollo Loco in Hollywood. His job required that he wear a chicken suit and dance around to attract customers to the restaurant. Really.

12. In 1987, Pitt made his film debut in "Hunk" in an uncredited role.

13. Later that year, he appeared in "Less Than Zero," starring Robert Downey Jr. Pitt played a "partygoer" and his role, yet again, was uncredited.

14. After having a small recurring role on the hit show "Dallas," Pitt also appeared in a 1988 episode of "21 Jump Street."

15. The actor's big break came a few years later in "Thelma & Louise" (1991) as the hunky -- and occasionally shirtless -- small-time criminal, J.D.

16. Although the role seems tailor-made for Pitt, he actually was the producer's third choice to play J.D. Who was the top candidate? William Baldwin.

17. He almost played another famous "J.D." A few years prior, Pitt auditioned for the lead role of J.D. in "Heathers" (1988). The role eventually went to Christian Slater, after Pitt was deemed "too sweet" for the part.

18. The attention from "Thelma & Louise" led to Robert Redford casting the young actor as a co-lead in his period drama "A River Runs Through It" (1992). The part was a career-making performance for Pitt and proved he could carry his own.

19. After "A River Runs Through It," the starring roles began piling up, most notably as a vampire in "Interview with the Vampire" (1994) and a detective in David Fincher's "Seven" (1995).

20. He broke his arm while filming "Seven" and the injury was subsequently written into the script.

21. Although the lead roles were rolling in, it was a supporting role in Terry Gilliam's "12 Monkeys" (1995) that earned Pitt his first Oscar nomination. The actor earned rave reviews for his performance as a crazed mental patient with fanatical animal rights views.

22. Unfortunately, Pitt did not receive the Oscar, losing out to Kevin Spacey for "The Usual Suspects" -- but he's been nominated twice for Best Actor since then, for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (2008) and "Moneyball" (2011).

23. He's also won a Best Picture Oscar as a producer of "12 Years a Slave" (2013). "12" seems to be Pitt's lucky number.

24. Pitt has also been included on dozens of "Hot Lists" since his career began, earning People's coveted Sexiest Man Alive title in 1995 and 2000.

25. The titles probably didn't hurt the actor's chances of snagging several beautiful and high-profile actresses. Pitt dated Gwyneth Paltrow from 1994 to 1997, and the pair were even briefly engaged.

26. Prior to Paltrow, he also dated "Kalifornia" (1993) co-star Juliette Lewis, who was 10 years his junior and just a teenager when they began dating.

27. In 1999, Pitt also attracted the unwanted attention of a 19-year-old fan who broke into the actor's Hollywood home, dressed in his clothes, and stayed for 10 hours before being apprehended.

28. After Paltrow and Pitt split, the actor met "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston. The pairing of America's heartthrob and its new sweetheart drew significant tabloid attention and the two were married in Malibu, California in 2000.

29. By the way, Aniston and Pitt met on a blind date arranged by their agents.

30. The romance was too good to be true, however, and the couple separated just five years later. Pitt's subsequent involvement with Angelina Jolie created a media frenzy.

31. During the production of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (2005), sparks flew between Pitt and co-star Jolie, and while he's acknowledged he fell in love on set, they were reportedly not romantically involved until after Aniston's and Pitt's divorce.

32. Jolie and Pitt announced their engagement in 2012 and were married in a private ceremony at their residence, Château Miraval, in August, 2014.

33. Jolie and Pitt have six children together. The three oldest are adopted, while the three youngest are the couple's biological children.

Bonus Facts:

34. The actor is banned from entering China after starring in "Seven Years in Tibet" (1997), which depicts China's controversial takeover of Tibet.

35. Pitt admires architecture to such a degree that he did an informal apprenticeship at the office of renowned architect Frank Gehry. In 2001, Gehry also renovated the wine cellar in Pitt's and Aniston's Los Angeles home.

Keanu Reeves just turned 50, and he's still kicking butt on the big screen.

Reeves broke out in the late '80s as the now iconic Ted Theodore Logan in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1989) before "Point Break" (1991) and "Speed" (1994) made the actor a bonafide action star -- and that was all before he became Neo in "The Matrix" trilogy. In the past few years, Reeves has also found success behind the camera, directing the martial arts film "Man of Tai Chi" (2013), while still holding onto his indie roots. This fall, Reeves is back playing a legendary hitman out for revenge in the blood action film "John Wick."

From hanging out with the Red Hot Chili Peppers to his days as K.C. Reeves, here are 33 things you probably don't know about Keanu Reeves.

1. Keanu Reeves was born September 2, 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon to Patricia Taylor and Samuel Nowlin Reeves Jr.

2. His mother is an English-born costume designer, while his father is a Hawaiian-born American with predominately Native Hawaiian and Chinese ancestry. Reeves's mother was working in Beirut when she met his father.

3. Reeves's parents divorced when he was only three years old and he moved to Sydney, Australia with his mother before arriving in New York.

4. In New York, his mother married Paul Aaron, a theater and film director, and the couple moved to Toronto before divorcing in 1971.

5. Reeves was finally able to settle down in Toronto, though, and he identifies as Canadian to this day.

6. Although he was settled in Toronto, the actor was still had a knack for bouncing around. Reeves attended four high schools in a span of five years and even got expelled once. On the expulsion, Reeves said: "I was just a little too rambunctious and shot my mouth off once too often. I was not generally the most well-oiled machine in the school. I was just getting in their way, I guess."

7. While he may have been suffering in the classroom, Reeves found success on the ice as a hockey goalie. He even earned the nickname "The Wall."

8. Eventually, when he was about 17 or 18, Reeves decided he wanted to pursue acting professionally. The teenager dropped out of high school, never earning a high school diploma, and pursued his dream.

9. Shortly after, Reeves landed the lead role in a Coca-Cola commercial as a cyclist.

10. Reeves was also a correspondent for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation youth program "Going Great" while he was cutting his teeth as an actor.

11. Reeves's first role ever came at the age of 9 in a theater production of "Damn Yankees."

12. But, in 1984, he made his TV debut in an episode of the TV series "Hangin' In."

13. Two years later, Reeves landed his first major studio role in the hockey movie "Youngblood" (1986) as a Canadian goalie, no less.

14. The actor was sometimes credited as K.C. Reeves because his representation thought Keanu sounded too exotic.

15. After the movie's release, the future star drove his 1969 Volvo out to Los Angeles where he was linked up with a manager and agent, Erwin Stoff, arranged by his ex-stepfather Paul Aaron. Stoff has remained Reeves's manager throughout his career.

16. The actor found steady work immediately, most notably in 1986's "River's Edge," but his big break came as the now iconic Ted 'Theodore' Logan in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1989).

17. 1991 was the year of Keanu. He reprised his role as Ted in "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey," starred in the big-budget, bank robbery movie "Point Break," and found indie success in Gus Van Sant's "My Own Private Idaho," opposite the late River Phoenix.

18. Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis could be seen as a gun-toting rebel surfer in "Point Break." Strangely enough, Reeves co-starred with the RHCP's bassist, Flea, in "My Own Private Idaho," released only a few months later.

19. Flea and Reeves even lived in director Gus Van Sant's house together (with River Phoenix) and would jam out at night.

20. In 1991, Reeves began playing bass guitar for the grunge band Dogstar. The band is no longer together, however, music has remained a huge part of his life.

21. Reeves also performed in the band Becky for a year in the early 2000s.

22. In 1994, the actor was controversially cast in the blockbuster hit "Speed." Up to that time, Reeves was known for comedies and indie dramas -- "Point Break" being the exception. The international success of "Speed," however, made Reeves (and his co-star, Sandra Bullock) A-list stars.

23. Still, Reeves often preferred his eclectic roles and turned down a huge paycheck for "Speed 2: Cruise Control" in favor of touring with his band and starring in a production of "Hamlet."

24. The Sunday Times theater critic, Roger Lewis, lauded the young actor's performance and wrote: "He is one of the top three Hamlets I have seen, for a simple reason: he is Hamlet."

25. And then... "The Matrix" happened. The 1999 science fiction-action film was an international success that spawned two sequels and cemented Reeves as an A-list actor and action star.

26. He reportedly gave $80 million of his $114 million earnings for his work on "The Matrix" sequels to the special effects and makeup staff.

27. Between the first and second "Matrix" films, Reeves starred in "The Replacements" (2000) alongside Gene Hackman. Reeves reportedly took a 90% pay cut so Hackman could be cast.

28. The film also marked the second time he had played an Ohio State University quarterback. "Point Break" is the other.

29. He's also a credited director. In 2013, his directorial debut "Man of Tai Chi" premiered at the Beijing Film Festival. Reeves began work on the project in 2008, inspired by his friend and stuntman Tiger Chen, who also starred in the film.

30. In 2011, he also became an author after writing the text for the grown-up picture "Ode to Happiness."

31. In September 2014, Reeves had two female intruders in his Hollywood Hills home -- in a span of just four days. Reeves found the first intruder hanging out in his library, while the second took a shower in his bathroom and then was found skinny-dipping in his pool by a cleaning crew. You can't make this stuff up.

Bonus Facts

32. Reeves is a motorcycle enthusiast and has recently started manufacturing his own bikes, Arch Motorcycle Company.

33. He loves ballroom dancing.

Ever since becoming a wizard at the age of 12, Daniel Radcliffe has been an international star.

Seemingly tailor-made for the role of Harry Potter, the young actor went from complete unknown to superstar overnight -- and he'd barely hit puberty. Since his days in the blockbuster franchise, Radcliffe has starred on Broadway and in indie movies, earning critical acclaim and shedding his child star image along the way. This fall, the (still) young actor stars in the devilish "Horns."

From "The Simpsons" to his connection to Charles Dickens, here are 17 things you probably don't know about Daniel Radcliffe.

1. Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born July 23, 1989 in West London, England to Marcia Gresham Jacobson and Alan George Radcliffe.

2. His mother is a casting agent born in South Africa and raised in Essex, England. His father is a literary agent from County Down, Northern Ireland.

3. Both of Radcliffe's parents acted as children.

4. Radcliffe expressed an interest in acting when he was only five years old.

5. At 10 years old, the young actor made his screen debut in the BBC adaptation of Charles Dickens's "David Copperfield" (1999), playing the titular character as a young boy.

6. The performance led to getting cast in the "Harry Potter" series. Chris Columbus, the director of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" (2001), saw Radcliffe in "David Copperfield" and insisted the actor audition. Even J.K. Rowling added, "I don't think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry."

7. Radcliffe's parents were reluctant to let him audition because the contract required shooting all seven films in Los Angeles. They even turned down the offer!

8. Radcliffe ultimately signed up to play Harry Potter, though, after Warner Bros. offered a revised two-movie contract with filming in the UK.

9. After the success of "Harry Potter," Radcliffe became the youngest non-royal to have his portrait displayed in London's prestigious National Portrait Gallery. He was just 14 years old.

10. Before "Harry Potter" kicked off, however, the actor made his film debut in "The Tailor of Panama" (2001).

11. His next non-Potter film? 2007's period-piece "December Boys," which starred Radcliffe as an orphan vying for the attention of a family. In the six years between "The Tailor of Panama" and "December Boys," Radcliffe starred in five "Harry Potter" movies.

12. After the first "Harry Potter" was released, some of Radcliffe's classmates would make fun of the actor, though Radcliffe never took it personally. Eventually, due to his busy schedule, he stopped going to school and was educated on set by tutors.

13. Since his "Harry Potter" days, Radcliffe has worked consistently on screen and on the stage. In 2013, he won the WhatsOnStage Award for Best Actor in a Play for his performance as the lead in Martin McDonagh's "The Cripple of Inishmaan."

14. That same year, he portrayed American poet Allen Ginsberg in "Kill Your Darlings." He met his current girlfriend, Erin Darke, on the set of the film.

15. Radcliffe has also published poetry under the pen name Jacob Gershon. Jacob is his middle name, while Gershon is the Yiddish version of his mother's maiden name.

16. Radcliffe suffers from a mild form of developmental coordination disorder, which inhibits his motor skills. Sometimes it gets so bad he has trouble tying his shoes.

17. Bonus Fact: Radcliffe voiced a character on "The Simpsons" in 2010. The actor guest starred as Edmund in "Treehouse of Horror XXI."

Since making his big-screen debut more than 20 years ago in "Dazed and Confused," Matthew McConaughey has taken Hollywood by storm.

The Texas-born actor was practically a leading man from the get-go, starring in critically-acclaimed dramas before topping the box office in a flurry of romantic comedies. And then the McConaissance began. McConaughey transformed himself for a role in "Dallas Buyers Club," won his first Oscar -- and then nearly won an Emmy for "True Detective," too. Now, the actor continues his hot streak by starring in Christopher Nolan's space epic "Interstellar."

From his early days shooting armadillo to his love for bongo drums, here are 35 things you probably don't know about Matthew McConaughey.

1. Matthew David McConaughey was born November 4, 1969 in Uvalde, Texas to Mary Kathleen McCabe and James Donald McConaughey.

2. His mother is a former kindergarten teacher, while his father ran an oil supply business.

3. McConaughey's father was also drafted by the Green Bay Packers.

4. Although born in Uvalde, his family relocated to Longview, Texas in 1980. At Longview High School, McConaughey was voted "Most Handsome" his senior year.

5. McConaughey's first job in high school was to rake and prep the sand traps at a local country club. On occasion, he was also paid to shoot armadillos on the course!

6. Unlike his two brothers, the future actor wasn't interested in his father's oil business. To broaden his horizons, McConaughey lived in Australia after graduating high school as part of an exchange program.

7. He even adopted an Australian accent for a while after returning to the US.

8. Once back in the U.S., Matthew McConaughey attended the University of Texas at Austin and had plans to study pre-law, go to law school, and eventually become a criminal defense lawyer!

9. Coincidentally, he ending up portraying a criminal defense lawyer in "A Time to Kill" (1996) and "The Lincoln Lawyer" (2011).

10. And weirder still, McConaughey is currently endorsing Lincoln Motor Company and can be seen in these commercials driving, well, a Lincoln.

11. Jim Carrey spoofed the ads in his October 2014 appearance on "Saturday Night Live." Lincoln sales spiked as a result. Of course.

12. In 1993, McConaughey graduated college with a degree in Radio-Television-Film.

13. That same year, he made his big-screen debut in Richard Linklater's "Dazed and Confused" as the memorable David Wooderson.

14. He was introduced to Linklater by casting director Don Phillips, whom he met by chance in a hotel bar.

15. Shortly after "Dazed and Confused," McConaughey moved out to Los Angeles. His first two L.A. auditions were for "Boys on the Side" (1995) and "Angels in the Outfield" (1994). He landed parts in both movies.

16. In 1995, the actor also starred in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation," opposite a then unknown Renée Zellweger.

17. McConaughey's big break came the following year in 1996's "Time to Kill," alongside Sandra Bullock.

18. After meeting on set, Bullock and McConaughey dated for two years.

19. The breakout role also put him in discussion for the lead in "Titanic" (1997). After strong consideration, Leonardo DiCaprio accepted the now iconic role of Jack Dawson.

20. Not to worry, though. McConaughey had truly become a leading man and was even cast as the lead in Steven Spielberg's "Amistad" that same year. Today, he has over 50 credits to his name.

21. He also took home the Best Actor Oscar at the 2014 Academy Awards for his portrayal of Ron Woodroof in "Dallas Buyers Club" (2013). It was McConaughey's first nomination and win.

22. McConaughey nearly took home the Best Actor Emmy, too, for his work in HBO's acclaimed series "True Detective." Unfortunately for McConaughey, he lost to Bryan Cranston for AMC's "Breaking Bad."

23. "True Detective" marked the third time McConaughey's worked with Woody Harrelson. The other two? "Edtv" (1999) and "Surfer, Dude" (2008). Here's what he had to say about Harrelson: "My good man Woody Harrelson, man. Whatever it is, we turn each other on. We really have a comfort with each other. Always good value with Wood-man. Classic, classic wild man." That's true bromance.

24. Speaking of wild, in October 1999, McConaughey was arrested for "resisting transportation" after police found him playing bongo drums loudly in the nude and spotted illegal drugs.

25. McConaughey has a thing for bongo drums. In March 2012, when English rock band The Cult performed in Austin, Texas, McConaughey went onstage and played bongo drums with them for two songs.

26. And he loves his music. The actor played Brazilian music for eight straight hours in the delivery room to help his now-wife, Camila Alves, give birth to their first child, Levi.

27. The couple now have three children, two boys and a girl.

Bonus Facts

28. His childhood hero was daredevil Evel Knievel, and McConaughey has said that he would like to star in a movie based on Knievel's life.

29. He auctioned off his 1971 Chevy Stingray Corvette on Ebay and donated all the money to Oprah's Angel Network Hurricane Katrina and Rita relief funds.

30. McConaughey did an interview with Barbara Walters in 2006 and gave her a foot massage at the end. Not every interviewer gets a rub down.

31. He served as the Grand Marshall for the Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Florida in February 2005.

32. In 2006, McConaughey rescued a cat from two youths who had doused it in hairspray and were attempting to set it on fire.

33. McConaughey is good friends with Lance Armstrong and traveled to France to support him in the 2009 Tour De France.

34. McConaughey traveled around the United States for a month in his personal Airsteam trailer promoting his 2005 movie "Sahara."

35. He has said he doesn't wear deodorant or cologne. We're not sure we agree with that decision.
