8. Albert Einstein

In a lot of Hollywood movies and cartoons, they turn Albert Einstein into a scatterbrained genius. Think of that famous photograph with him sticking his tongue out, eyes wide, and crazy hair everywhere. In The Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, they even turned him into a little dancing bobblehead doll, rather than a real person. Sure, he had a sense of humor. However, his real-life was actually very tragic. One of Albert’s sons, Eduard, had schizophrenia. This caused a lot of strain on their marriage, and he ended up having multiple affairs. Creepily enough, he even slept with his first cousin Elsa, and ended up marrying her. We may never see an accurate biopic because of that controversy.
