6 actors who do the exact same thing in every movie

<p>If you haven’t noticed these actors’ habits before, you will definitely will be able to notice it next time you watch one of their films.</p> <p><strong>1. Harrison Ford – pointing</strong></p> <p>Harrison Ford was caught out a few years ago for his go-to acting technique of pointing. In an interview with American host Conan O’Brien, a montage was shared of all the times Ford has relied on his pointing techniques in a scene.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K4Rqx9TvtlM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p><strong>2. Jack Nicholson – utilising the eyebrows</strong></p> <p>Jack Nicholson is a talented actor who first entered the industry in the late 50s and has since won a handful of Oscars. In all of his films, Nicholson is able to captivate audiences through his emotion, especially by using his communicative eyebrows.</p> <p><strong>3. Sean Bean – dying</strong></p> <p>Unfortunately for Sean Bean, he has developed a reputation as “that actor who always dies”. From <em>GoldenEye</em> to <em>Game of Thrones</em>, his characters never seem to make it through the entire film. His fans even have created tributes to all his character’s deaths.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zEhtsgu6bJg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p><strong>4. Ryan Reynolds – sarcasm</strong></p> <p>Ryan Reynolds is known for the sarcastic humour that features in the majority of his characters. While some people believe that sarcasm is the lowest form of comedy, it has worked out in the favour of this actor who was drawn to the role of Deadpool for this very reason.</p> <p><strong>5. Tom Cruise – running</strong></p> <p>Tom Cruise is an action movie icon and he definitely utilises his characters to improve his fitness game. Known for doing a lot of his own stunt work, Cruise also loves to show off his sprinting onscreen, whether he be running from aliens, explosions or villains.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qicaxJLxuOI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p><strong>6. Owen Wilson – saying “wow”</strong></p> <p>Actor Owen Wilson has a very recognisable voice and with that voice is his onscreen catch phrase “wow”. The actor says the word so much that a video has even been compiled to show all the times he has said it.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KlLMlJ2tDkg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p>What other actors always do the same thing in all their films?

Identical twins give birth at exact same time

<p>They say twins have a special bond, but these sisters have taken it to the next level. Leah Rodgers and Sarah Mariuz, 35-year-old twins living in two different cities, pulled off an incredibly unlikely feat, giving birth at exactly the same time.</p> <p>Rodgers, who lives in Denver, Colorado, welcomed a boy at 1.18am last Thursday, the same time her sister gave birth to a baby girl in La Jolla California – more than 1,700km away.</p> <p>“We've always lived in separate places, but all of us — we have two sisters — are very close in age and very close,” Rodgers told <a href="http://www.today.com/parents/separated-cities-twin-sisters-give-birth-same-day-exact-same-t100467" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Today</span></strong></a>. “But certainly there's another connection at the twin level.”</p> <p>The sisters insist that despite falling pregnant at the same time, they never planned on having children born close together, let alone at the exact same time. Rodgers claims her “twintuition” made her know instinctively that Mariuz was pregnant the second she arrived at the family’s Thanksgiving dinner, before she even announced her pregnancy. “We were jumping up and down, just so happy for each other.”</p> <p>Incredible! What’s the uncanniest example of “twintuition” you’ve ever seen?
