Hollywood Actors Who Lied To Our Faces

Acting is all about make-believe. On screen, we expect lies: it’s just part of the job. But what happens when the deception spills off the set and into real life? From bold denials to overhyped promises, these 10 actors looked us in the eye and said things that turned out to be completely false. Let’s revisit the moments they got caught, and how the truth came crashing down.

10. Dwayne Johnson

“The Rock” is no stranger to promoting his own projects. He’s a born showman, after all. However, he might have overhyped Black Adam a bit too much, stating that the film would change the course of the DC cinematic universe. It technically did, as the movie’s failure and negative fan reception played a huge role in the DCEU’s downfall.

9. Vin Diesel

Similar to Dwayne Johnson, Diesel is known for “spicing” the truth, like the time he claimed he was a background dancer for the Beastie Boys when he was young. The claim was shot down by the Beastie Boys’ Ad-Rock, who said Diesel was never in any of the band’s videos.

8. Idris Elba

Everyone knows Elba as a modern English gentleman these days, but back when he was still trying to make his big break, the actor had to pretend to be American so he would land a role in the TV series The Wire.

7. Daniel Craig

“I’d rather slash my wrists than play Bond again” – that’s what Daniel Craig told his fans in 2015, only a few years before he would be back to play 007one last time (for now) in No Time to Die.

6. Steven Yeun

Yeun became world-famous after playing Glenn in The Walking Dead, becoming one of the series’ most beloved characters. Glenn almost met a premature end in Season 6, when he was apparently killed under a garbage dumpster. The show intentionally hid his name to make it seem as if he were really dead.

5. Kit Harington

The Game of Thrones actor told everyone Jon Snow wasn’t coming back from the dead in Season 6. Fortunately for fans, Jon resurrected and lived all the way through the series’ finale.

4. Andrew Garfield

Garfield fed the speculation surrounding Spider-Man: No Way Home by repeatedly denying that his version of Spidey was coming back for the multiversal crossover film.

3. Jussie Smollett

After starring in Empire and enjoying a meteoric rise, Smollett’s career came crashing down after being found guilty of staging a hate crime in a misguided attempt at a publicity stunt.

2. Benedict Cumberbatch

The Sherlock star told his millions of fans he would be playing a character called “John Harrison” in Star Trek Into Darkness. Turns out that he was playing the franchise’s iconic villain, Khan, instead.

1. Brian Dennehy

Known for playing Sheriff Will Teasle in First Blood, Dennehy had a notable background for serving in Vietnam, making him a great fit for the villain in the first Rambo – except that he never saw action during his service years, faking most (if not all) of his combat experience.

Born in Venezuela – and still living there – Tito Pernalete loves all things geeky and sci-fi. He studied Social Communications in college: an odd career choice for a confessed introvert.

Though he has experience as a director of photography for some short films, Tito has been a writer for most of his adult life, with a particular interest in movies/TV and tech in general.

When he's not playing Elden Ring or binge-watching a horror movie marathon, you can find him planning his dream trip to Japan. His favourite film is RoboCop, but he also has a soft spot for cheesy 80s horror flicks and anything made by Wes Anderson. You can find more of his work at Budapest Reporter and Book Nerdection.
