Films about characters suffering from multiple personality disorder are extremely interesting from the point of view of the intriguing complexity of the plot, the artistic techniques used, the atmosphere and the acting. The last point is especially difficult to fulfill - certainly in those films where all the characters' personalities are played by the same performer.





We have prepared a selection of just such films for you. Therefore, today we will do without “Fight Club”, “Secret Window” and “Identity” to look at those who do not want to share their multiple personalities with other people’s bodies.

Beware! There will be spoilers in the post!

Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates/his mother



From the film Psycho (1960).

Jim Carrey as Charlie/Hank





From the film “Me, Myself and Irene” (2000).

By the way, here we can mention another film with Kerry - “The Mask” (1994).

Robert De Niro as David/Charlie



From the film “Hide and Seek” (2005).

Well, in some places Charlie is kind, but in others he’s the opposite.

Halle Berry as Frankie/Alice



From the movie "Frankie and Alice" (2009).

Joanne Woodward as Eve White/Eve Black/Jane



From the film “The Three Faces of Eve” (1957).

If you were expecting someone from the list of actors who played a complex double or triple role to receive an Oscar for it, then Joanne Woodward did just that.

Ansel Elgort as Jonathan/John



From the film “Duplicate” (2018).

Jonathan Rhys Meyers as David/Adam/Wesley



From the film "Asylum" (2010).

Fredric March as Dr. Henry Jekyll/Mr. Edward Hyde



From the film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931).

Another Oscar for Best Leading Actor - well deserved!

James McAvoy as Lots of People



Films “Split” (2017) and “Glass” (2019).

Sally Field as Sybil and her many personalities



From the mini-series "Sybil" (1976).

By the way, did you recognize Forrest Gump’s mother in the actress?

Bonus: Edward Norton as Aaron/Roy



From the film "Primal Fear" (1996).
