Top 10 Famous People Who Most Look Like Criminals

We've all heard the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover," but sometimes our initial perceptions can be hard to shake. When it comes to famous people, in particular, their image and appearance are carefully crafted and curated to project a certain image to the public. However, there are some celebrities whose looks could easily be mistaken for those of a criminal.

From their rough and rugged features to their menacing expressions, there are a few famous faces out there that look like they belong behind bars rather than on the red carpet. Of course, it's important to note that looks can be deceiving, and just because someone looks like a criminal doesn't mean they are one. But still, it can be fascinating to see how certain physical features and expressions can shape our perceptions of people.
