Katie Holmes

In an unfiltered moment from the set of “Mania Days,” a bare-faced Katie Holmes reminds us that even A-listers have their off days. Known for her refined appearances, the actress shares a rare, unvarnished sight: looking decidedly weary, hair haphazardly pinned back, biting her upper lip in a stern expression.

Her character in the movie suffered from health problems, so that might explain the candid shot. However, these instances of raw humanity only make Holmes – famed for her roles in “Dawson’s Creek,” “Batman Begins,” and the public eye as Tom Cruise’s ex-spouse – all the more relatable. After all, even stars aren’t exempt from the taxing toll of long shooting hours.
