17 Celebs Who Always Play Villains But Are Actually Very Nice In Real Life

Ralph Fiennes comes across as an intense actor, especially when he portrayed Voldemort in Harry Potter and Chef Slowik in The Menu. One Reddit user, u/distressedsquib, revealed that they met Fiennes in 2004 as a 13-year-old before he appeared in Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire as Voldemort. The user explained how they were an extra on the set of The White Countess starring Fiennes, and a big fan of the Harry Potter books, which they had been reading in between takes. 

“There was a break in takes and I saw him sit in a random chair amongst the extras. I ran the fastest I could and got my book from where all my stuff was and said, ‘Hi my name is DistressedSquib and I heard you were playing Voldemort, can I have your autograph?’ All in one breath, panting, in my extra costume,” u/distressedsquib wrote in a Reddit post (accompanied by a photo). “He looked up, super surprised and said, ‘Where did you hear that??’ And I told him I found out on IMDB. He seemed so shocked because I think it had just been announced and this could have been the first time someone had associated him with that role. He very kindly took my book and wrote: ‘To DistressedSquib, from Lord Voldemort! Ralph Fiennes.’ I said thank you and ran off. So flustered. My mum was off in the distance and had taken a photo of me getting the autograph.”
