10 Actors Who Played The Same Character In Completely Different Movies
8. Ethan Hawke & Julie Delpy - Jesse & Celine
The Characters: Jesse and Celine
The Movies: Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy and Waking Life
Ethan Hawke’s Jesse and Julie Delpy’s Celine are best known as the star-crossed lovers from Richard Linklater’s 1995 romantic drama Before Sunrise who meet randomly on a train in Europe and spend one magical evening walking the streets of Vienna waxing lyrical about life, love, religion and pretty much everything in between before both returning to their respective lives.
The talkative pair met up again in the 2004 sequel Before Sunset where we learn Jesse is now a successful writer with a wife and child and Celine an environmental activist with a photojournalist boyfriend.
Not that that stopped them chewing each other’s ears off once again and apparently hooking up because when we saw them again in 2013’s Before Midnight they were married and parents to twin girls.
Sandwiched in between Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, however, Jesse and Celine made a brief appearance in Linklater’s trippy rotoscoped animation Waking Life in 2001 doing what they do best – philosophising about reincarnation, collective memory, Timothy Leary and the like.
