What films predicted the development of the relationship between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? Why did David Duchovny have to go to the clinic after the release of "Californication"? And how did Nonna Mordyukova survive the most terrible shooting in her life, the plot of which was exactly the same 19 years later? These dramatic stories that, alas, happened outside the script of the films, tells Big Picture.
Before filming the next film, professional actors do a great job, "getting used to" a new role, because they have to make not only external reincarnation, but also internal. But is it so easy to completely "step out" of the role and say goodbye to your character when the job is done?
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Angelina and Brad were considered one of the most beautiful couples in Hollywood. They twice appeared on the big screen together, acting out the stories of romantically involved characters. And surprisingly, these films turned out to be prophetic for the couple themselves.
In 2005, the action movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was released about the difficult life of a married couple of killers who unite against the whole world (in the form of powerful firms that have hired them) to protect each other and their marriage. It was after this film that an affair began between Angelina and Brad in real life: they really had to prove that everything was serious between them, because fans could not forgive Brad Pitt for parting with Jennifer Aniston for a long time.
Ten years later, they reappeared in one film - the drama "Cote d'Azur". But this time, their characters were going through a relationship crisis. In real life, Angelina and Brad also began to move away from each other. A year later, the actress filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
Konstantin Khabensky
At the dawn of his acting career, in 1998, Konstantin Khabensky appeared in the film "Women's Property". He got the role of a young entrant of a theater institute who falls in love with a famous actress (and concurrently - a member of the selection committee). But their suddenly ensued romantic relationship is cut short by a drama - a woman dies of oncology. The young man is going through her departure hard, loses support under his feet and the meaning of life.

A few months after "Women's Property" was released, Konstantin Khabensky met a woman whom he sincerely fell in love with. She was a journalist named Anastasia. In 2000, they got married and began to live together in a modest Moscow apartment. Seven years later, their son Vanya was born.
But immediately after the happy event, terrible news fell on the young parents - doctors found a brain tumor in Anastasia. The fight against the disease was unsuccessful, and in 2008, beloved Anastasia Khabensky died. This tragedy shocked the actor. Until now, he cherishes the memory of his first wife and is engaged in the affairs of the foundation, helping children with cancer and other serious diseases.
David Duchovny
This charismatic Hollywood actor became famous thanks to the TV series "The X-Files", the first season of which was released back in 1993. And 14 years later, David Duchovny was offered the lead role in the new serial project "Californication" - he also gained incredible popularity. In it, the actor has reincarnated as a writer named Hank Moody, who slowly but surely sinks to the very bottom, bogged down in the abyss of alcohol and forbidden sex.
Some time later, information leaked to the media that the actor in real life suffers from similar addictions. He tried to overcome sex addiction and alcohol addiction in a specialized clinic, but this did not help save David Duchovny's marriage. In 2014, he and his wife divorced and formalized joint custody of two children.
Leonid Bykov
Soviet actor Leonid Bykov has earned the audience's love thanks to his participation in the films "Only Old Men Go to Battle", "Maxim Perepelitsa" and "Aleshkin's Love". And in 1976 the film "Aty-Baty, Soldiers Walking" was released, in which he played the role of Corporal Viktor Svyatkin, heroically dying under the tracks of a German tank. This work was the last for the talented actor.

Three years later, Leonid Bykov was returning from his dacha driving his Volga. A tractor was slowly driving in front of him, and the actor decided to overtake him. However, the wide tracks of an agricultural vehicle almost hit Bykov's car, which forced him to turn into the oncoming lane. The dangerous maneuver resulted in a sudden head-on collision with the truck. Even the seat belt could not save the actor from the strongest blow: Leonid Bykov died on the spot from his injuries.
Subsequently, the artist's daughter said that her father had a premonition of his death. He wrote to friends about it and even planned his own funeral. And once he left a note for his daughter, which ended with a terrible phrase:
"And if this is the end ..."
Taryn Manning
In 2013, Netflix premiered the American comedy-drama series Orange Is the New Black. To participate in this project, actress Taryn Manning (you may also remember her from her role as the beloved character of Eminem in "8 Mile") had to completely modify her appearance: make-up artists inserted dentures that mimic rotten fangs and made her hair into a complete mess.
But all the efforts and sacrifices paid off in full - the actress managed to brilliantly transform into the brawler-drug addict Tiffany "Pensatuckie" Doggett, who is characterized by wild outbursts of aggression. But, apparently, after filming Taryn never left this image. In 2016, makeup artist Holly Hartman filed a lawsuit against the actress. She showed signs of beatings, stating that Taryn beat her several times. However, the actress's lawyers managed to hush up this case.
Nonna Mordyukova
It is scary to imagine how the Soviet actress Nonna Mordyukova "got used" in the role of Fedosya Ugryumova in the film "Russian Field", because according to the plot, her heroine had to survive the death of her child, played by the real son of the actress - Vladimir Tikhonov.
“The last scene where the dead border guards are buried was unbearable for me. He [Vladimir] was sitting next to me, holding my shoulder, and persuaded: “- Mom! What are you? Here I am! Alive. This is shooting. " The coffins are standing ... Oh, how scary it was to play this episode ... "- Mordyukova recalled.
19 years later, Nonna Mordyukova again went to her son's funeral, only this time in real life. Vladimir died at the age of 40 from heart failure caused by years of drug and alcohol use.
Michelle Dockery
British actress Michelle Dockery rose to prominence after the TV series Downton Abbey, in which she played the arrogant selfish aristocrat Mary Crowley. Her heroine marries a young lawyer from Manchester named Matthew, who one day becomes the heir to Downton Abbey.
Despite the fact that their relationship has experienced many ups and downs, the family life of Mary and Matthew turns out to be quite happy. Soon the girl gives birth to a child. However, the baby's father was not destined to see his son grow up: Matthew crashed in a car while hurrying home to his family.
Actress Michelle Dockery, like her character, survived the death of a loved one. Her young fiancé, John Dinin, passed away after years of struggling with a serious illness.
