Do You know That Movies that Make Celebrities Cry

Movies that Make Celebrities Cry
Even the rich and famous are vulnerable to an emotionally wrought motion picture.


Crybabies
Even actors whose job it is turn tears on and off at the command of a director have films that get them uncontrollably choked up. From Mila Kunis' cry fest over an Orca to Robert Pattinson's heartbreak over freezing penguins, click ahead to see what movies make the rich and famous get sad and weepy.


Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson admits he has "more affinity with animals than with people," which explains why the nature documentary March of the Penguins makes him shed tears.


Brad Pitt
Although Brad Pitt describes himself as "not much of a cryer at films," a brutal bout of food poisoning left him in an especially vulnerable place when he put on the 2001 family drama Life as a House. "I don't know if it would still hit me the same way, but on my 27th hour of just pure wretchedness, this movie crushed me," Pitt recalls.


Natalie Portman
It's young love and a fatal bee allergy that gets Natalie Portman "balling." "My Girl makes me cry so much," the Oscar-winner told W magazine.


Snoop Dogg
Watching two best friends ride off in a suicide pact is enough to move one of hip-hop's most famous rappers. Snoop even went to Twitter to tell of his emotional reaction: "Jus Watched thelma n louise a fuckn brilliant movie wow! Shed a tear at d end!"


Carey Mulligan
At 12-years-old, Carey Mulligan spent an entire summer crying over Simon Birch. While Mulligan says the film "devastated" her, she couldn't stop watching it. As she puts it, "[I] became obsessed with sitting there and crying. It was so weird."


R. Kelly
For many, The Notebook tugs on the heartstrings and opens the tear ducts, but for R. Kelly, the emotional fallout from his Notebook viewing convinced him to divorce his wife: "As the film credits started to roll, I couldn't move. I burst into tears. ... I was crying because ... my marriage had died and there was nothing I could do to bring it back." This realization came after watching the film in a packed theater... with his wife.


Charlize Theron
The emotional roller coaster of 50/50 is right up Charlize Theron's emotional alley. Of the film, Theron said, "I love movies that can kind of, like, catch you off guard and you're emotionally crying, and then they just kind of sucker punch you, and you're, you know, snotty-laughing-crying. ... Those are my favorite cries."


Mila Kunis
When you're 9-years-old, the story of a whale trapped in an unscrupulous amusement park is enough to keep you crying for days, especially for Mila Kunis. She described herself as "heartbroken" after watching Free Willy.


Elle & Dakota Fanning
The Fanning sisters have a lot in common: long blond hair, acting careers, oh, and an emotional weakness for movies about the life cycle of the family pooch. In separate interviews both Elle and Dakota listed Marley & Me as the movie that caused them to cry hysterically.


Justin Timberlake
From Forrest Gump to Field of Dreams, Justin Timberlake isn't afraid to shed a tear when a movie hits his emotional core, but it's The Lion King that really makes them flow, because "when dad dies... it's tough."


James Franco
Steel Magnolias has a reputation for being the quintessential "chick flick," but James Franco is here to tell the world not only do men love the film just as much, they are just as emotionally affected by [Spoiler Alert] Julia Roberts' tragic death scene.


Mark Wahlberg
Mark Wahlberg is famous for playing larger-than-life tough guys on the big screen, but in real life he's a sensitive dude. Wahlberg copped to crying "seven or eight times" during The Help, which resulted in weeks of mocking from his wife Rhea Durham.


Michelle Williams
The 2007 Mexican film Silent Light made Michelle Williams ball her eyes out to an embarrassing degree. Williams says while watching the film in a crowded theater, "I started crying so hysterically that the person I was with suggested that we leave because I was disrupting the audience."


Colin Firth
Colin Firth speaks for many of us when he recounts why Dumbo made him cry: "Dumbo. Dumbo... I mean, a baby elephant's mom gets locked up in prison. I mean, who's not going to cry? Come on."


Nicole Kidman & Elizabeth Olsen
They may be a generation apart, but Elizabeth Olsen and Nicole Kidman share a love of Gone with the Wind, a love that always ends in tears.

Mulberry's takeover gave the likes of Michelle Williams and Elizabeth Olsen a reason to party at a place where the fairer sex is only allowed in after six

The opposite was the case over at Vivienne Westwood's after-party at The Box, where you couldn't make out anything Damien Hirst was saying to his host, Francesca Hammerstein, even if the two of them were sitting right next to you. Florence Welch cheered exuberantly for the club's hopped-up burlesque—a slightly more conservative version, it should be noted, than in New York—from her table near the stage. In the back, meanwhile, Westwood shook her head in disbelief as two young gentlemen performed extraordinary feats of strength and balance in their underwear. Wild things, indeed.
Mulberry's takeover gave the likes of Michelle Williams and Elizabeth Olsen a reason to party at a place where the fairer sex is only allowed in after six. During her team's initial walk-through, Hill recalled, "we were probably the youngest people by about 40 years." (One member interpreted Hill's workaday outfit of tights and denim to mean she was a gymnast.) Then again, this is the first time the brand has put its show on the official London fashion week calendar—maybe, in a way, Mulberry is ready to join the establishment.
There were beauties and beasts at Mulberry yesterday, not to mention some very clever party planning. Having organized their post-show soirée at the Savile Club just a few doors down from Claridge's, site of the label's runway show, creative director Emma Hill and co. cannily repurposed the morning's stage dressings, placing bunches of padlock-shaped gold balloons in various nooks and throwing hairy goatskins (a nod to the Fall collection's Where the Wild Things Are vibe) over leather couches.
Alexa Chung lingered at the raw bar downstairs as guests were summoned up to dinner, declaring the oyster shucker's chain-mail glove "a good look." Michelle Dockery, somehow looking even more luminous than she does on Downton Abbey, stumbled on the grand staircase as a photographer's flash went off. "Delete that," she half-joked. Happily, Lana Del Rey made no missteps during her after-dinner concert. Hill, recalling the time the trending songstress (and namesake of Mulberry's latest bag) performed for the brand in Los Angeles, enumerated what might be Del Rey's most impressive trait: "the ability to silence 40 editors." This time, too, you could have heard a pin drop the moment she took the stage.
