12 Iconic Movie Characters Who Aren't As Cool As You Remember

3. Ferris Bueller - Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Ferris Bueller's the sort of friend you had through school who somehow got through all of his exams, got all of the girls, never got bullied because of his apparent charm, and managed to be loved by almost everyone that he stumbled across. The sun literally shone out of his arse, and we were all envious. But anyone who had a friend like that and is now all grown up can take solace in the fact that 99% of those characters' luck has run out - and even if you haven't seen them for years, you might very well end up bumping into them in your local fast food restaurant and see them flipping burgers one day. Destroying your best friend's life and his father's Ferrari won't win you any awards or recognition in real life, people!
