Actors and actresses have starred in hundreds of
Movies and they've got emotionally connected to the characters they portray. When actors are a part of a movie franchise or a long-running show, it's extremely hard for them to say goodbye. They might have something more than just photos or copies of their work, they wanted to walk away with a prop or costume from the set.
Some actors ask before taking something, and some steal them. This issue is frowned upon for a while ago. Although many props and costumes not owned by actors are used in the next projects, that doesn’t stop them from snatching things up. For them, they’re like trophies or souvenirs.
Here are celebrities who borrowed a nice souvenir from a movie set.
