Many performers have admitted to stealing from their respective film and television sets throughout the years.
Consider the case of Ryan Reynolds. After having to wait for quite some time to get his dream role as Deadpool, he made sure to save a physical reminder of his time in the role by purchasing the outfit that he wore in the film after filming for the 2016 movie had finished.
According to Tom Holland, a member of the Avengers cast, the seasoned actor also gave the first Iron Man mask to Tom’s brother, Paddy Holland , who was born and raised in the United Kingdom. Paddy has that in my parents’ house. It’s pretty cool, the Devil All the Time actor told Collider in June 2019.

The Downton Abbey star was covered in prosthetics for her role as Pamela Anderson in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy, but she discovered one clothing item that looked amazing even without her character’s huge endowments. “In the Mexico montage, I had this amazing pink skirt and, like, very ’90s halter top,” she remarked on “Around the Table” on Entertainment Weekly in February 2022.

In December 2018, the This Is 40 actress told Newsweek that she would “always take something” from the projects she has worked on. “I don’t take it. “I informed them,” she said. “I had this pearl necklace with an animal tooth on it that I acquired from George of the Jungle. I have mementos from each film.”
