The Top 10 Cry-Faces in Hollywood
A cry-face is like a snowflake; each one is a special and unique work of art. For that reason, ranking the effectiveness of cry-faces is harder than you’d think. We took a whack at the task, and are proud to present our top ten cry-faces in Hollywood, judged by believability, tear duct dexterity, and lip-quiver technique. (For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term “cry-face,” it’s exactly what it sounds like — the face an actor makes when he or she cries, of course! Simple as that.) Check out our rankings after the jump, and hit the comments to let us know who would top your own list of oh-so-intense criers. For the top ten, check here.
Natalie Portman
Oh, Natalie. Your cry-face could look like Voldemort’s face and the world would still adore you. You don’t hold back, and that’s what’s important. Honorable mention/similar crier/another actress with an “N” name: Nicole Kidman.
Aaron Paul
Inside of that tough-guy Breaking Bad shell, Jesse Pinkman is just a somewhat unreliable teddy bear. When he cries, we cry. Remember that time Aaron Paul was super ecstatic to win a desk on The Price is Right? That has nothing to do with crying, we just really love that video.
Claire Danes
There are entire Tumblrs and SNL skits devoted to the intensity of this cry-face, so of course Ms. Danes ranks above most others. We are, however, going to spice it up a bit and stick her in third place — not just because you expected us to put her at #1, but also because that would be an insult to two of the greatest criers in Hollywood history.
Laura Dern
Laura Dern pretty much invented the cry-face, the most famous instance of which was the above expression from Blue Velvet. Dern’s mouth is capable of creating all sorts of bizarre cry-shapes, and for that reason, she’s #2. Ready for #1?
Charlie Brown
We’re sure you were thinking, “Who could have a crazier cry-face than Claire Danes and Laura Dern?” Surprise! It’s Charlie Brown. This kid doesn’t mess around. To see more (and to maybe even do some crying yourself), fire up Snoopy, Come Home.

idk if i wanna call them RULES but posting guidelines. we're just asking that lists be edited down and not posted in their entirety.
the main reason we are asking that ppl refrain from posting ENTIRE lists is that these lists are not 'our' content. ppl put effort into making these lists (i know...) and we have to respect them. ever wonder why some posts disappear randomly? they were probably taken down at the source's request. if we can keep lists/posts edited down, we get content to discuss (which is all that matters when it comes down to it) and hopefully sources get more traffic/credit for their work and everyone is happy.
