11 Celebrities That Are Completely Opposite To Their Characters
4. Henry Winkler
We all know The Fonz, he’s a legend amongst the middle-aged generation but in real life, Henry is shy, quiet and reserved; the complete opposite to his television character. Not to mention that he’s terrified of motorcycles.
Winkler was awarded the OBE for his work and efforts on spreading awareness of childhood learning difficulties. His educational efforts include his successful Hank Zipzer (“The World’s Greatest Underachiever”) children’s book series based on his early struggles with dyslexia and bullying from other children and even teachers.
Even his German-born parents joined the bullying, calling him dummer Hund (dumb dog) “often enough for it not to be funny”, Winkler said once.
So, what does he think who is the Fonz of today? “You know who I think that is? Ryan Gosling has that in him. He’s funny, he is intense, he is crazy, he is romantic, he is desperate, he is great.” I didn’t expect that, I tell him.
I was thinking along the lines of Eminem. Winkler gasps. “I love Eminem. His new album Recovery, I think that might be a little bit of brilliant genius. He is out in orbit. And I have a connection with him.”
When asked about the strangest place he’s been recognized, he said, “[A man] pulling open the stall while I was going to the bathroom in a hotel in Hawaii. That was over the limit. He said, “Look, I’m never gonna get this chance again.’ I said: ‘Is it possible we could talk a little later? This is … awkward.’ But he just stayed there. I asked him to go to stand in the corner, facing the wall.”
A funnyman, Winkler.
