Top 5 famous australian actors
Australia is a true motherland of ultimate talents that are imported to Hollywood year by year in increasing numbers. It can be even said that those Aussies have an almost official residence on the Hollywood hills. Many of them have made their versatile country even more outstanding and renowned in the whole world. The Australian expansion to Hollywood has begun many years ago, thus giving a green light to its young generation of actors for the Mecca of world movie business. I’ll try to single out the top 5 of the most famous Australian actors, though there is a much larger number of them. Let’s start!
1. Russell Crowe
Firstly, answer the question. Who’s got the most well-known temper on Hollywood hills? Who are all paparazzi afraid of? And who can knock you down with one hook? Oh, yeah. We all know the answer. It’s Hollywood drama king, Russell Crowe. Basically originating from New Zealand little Russel moved to Australia with his family when he was only 4 years old. He graduated from the National Institute of Dramatic Art of Australia and got a job in the movie “Romper Stomper” that made him a star. Later he migrated to America and became even more famous by grabbing one Oscar for “Gladiator” and two nominations for “The Insider” and “A Beautiful Mind“.

2. Mel Gibson
Another Aussie-turned-American crazy beast is unarguably Mel Colm-Cille Gerard Gibson or Mel Gibson like we all know him. Born in New York but grown in Sydney he studied at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. Notably, he’s one of those who received Oscar for the directing and acting in the hit “Braveheart“. In 2004 he produced and directed extremely controversial movie “The Passion of the Christ” about sufferings of Jesus Christ during last hours of his life. Well, you may love Gibson or disgust him but you must admit that he’s got a style!

3. Eric Bana
Less talked about but nevertheless talented is Eric Bana. Everybody remembers him in “Troy“. He started his career as a series comedian and ended with such hits as “Munich” and “The Hulk“. And do not forget his villain in “Star Trek“.

4. Heath Ledger
It would be unforgivable not to mention deceased Heath Ledger. It is pointless to say how devastated we all were when we knew about his untimely death. Especially as, he was a goddamn good actor. It is really difficult to call out any other young actor with such a unique talent. We all know his best roles and movies that he made blockbusters. So let’s just stand in memory of him…

5. Hugh Jackman
To wind up, I can offer another hot Aussie delivery, namely Hugh Jackman. Being Sexiest Man Alive 2008 and just a nice actor this heartthrob is known for such movies as “X-Men” and “Van Helsing“. Naturally, anyone of us can recall lots of other movies with him. But like I said it’s time to wind up.
