Shailene Woodley
American actress and activist (born 1991)
Starting in 2015, Woodley took a break from filming for nearly a year, stating in a later interview that she "had hit a wall with acting." From 2017 to 2019, Woodley starred as a sexual assault survivor, alongside Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, in two seasons of the HBO drama series '' Big Little Lies''.

Witherspoon next starred in '' Devil's Knot'', which was directed by Atom Egoyan, and based on the true crime book of the same name, examining the controversial case of the West Memphis Three.

His next feature, ''The Captive'' (2014), starred Ryan Reynolds and screened in competition for the Palme d'Or at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, where it received largely negative reviews from critics. Justin Chang from '' Variety'' described the film as "a ludicrous abduction thriller that finds a once-great filmmaker slipping into previously un-entered realms of self-parody."

In 2021, she starred in the real-life Guantanamo Bay drama film '' The Mauritanian'' alongside Jodie Foster, Tahar Rahim and Benedict Cumberbatch and also had a small supporting role in the critically acclaimed film '' The Fallout''.
Benedict Cumberbatch
In April 2014, Cumberbatch was regarded as a British cultural icon, with young adults from abroad naming him among a group of people whom they most associated with UK culture, which included William Shakespeare, Queen Elizabeth II, David Beckham, J. K. Rowling, The Beatles, Charlie Chaplin, Elton John and Adele.
David Beckham
English footballer and businessman (born 1975)
Beckham has played along to jokes about his voice. In a 2018 promo for '' Deadpool 2'', Beckham is seen watching the first instalment of the film franchise in which Ryan Reynolds' character compares Beckham's voice to inhaling helium.

Jodie Foster
Her last film role of the decade was in the children's adventure film '' Nim's Island'' (2008), in which she portrayed an agoraphobic writer opposite Gerard Butler and Abigail Breslin.
Abigail Breslin
Roger Ebert wrote that Breslin "has the stuff to emerge as a three-dimensional kid, if she weren't employed so resolutely as a pawn." In 2007, she also starred in '' Definitely, Maybe'', as the daughter of a recently divorced father (played by Ryan Reynolds); the film garnered generally favorable reviews, with Steven Rea of '' The Philadelphia Inquirer'' writing that Breslin is "alarmingly cute – but she backs the cuteness up with serious acting instinct."
