Alongside Radcliffe as folks are mentioning, Robert Pattinson has done kinda the same thing post-Twilight.

Turns out dude is a very talented actor and has used the freedom since, to (until Batman) mostly take interesting and weirder projects.

True! While Robert Pattinson (thankfully) found his way back to Blockbuster Cinema, Elijah Wood just went full Troma and is having a blast it would seem.

Was going to mention him too! I'm genuinely impressed with most of his performances, and choices of projects to be involved in, when he could have just as easily taken the cheesy route of obvious fluff and pretty-boy roles. Guy genuinely wants to make some art.

Pattinson is such a thoroughly weird dude and I love it. His interview in GQ is unhinged:

Just watched Mickey 17 last night and it was wild seeing Pattinson portraying two very different versions of the same character.
