Family Dresses As Movie Characters To Cure Lockdown Boredom

Lifestyle July, 01, 2025

The Taylors, from Twickenham, started to dress up as their favorite movie character, to cure themselves from the boredom during this lockdown. They also started to help other people not get bored by sharing their pictures on Instagram, letting people guess the movie and their idea was a hit.

To recreate the characters of some classic flicks, the family heads, Steph, 36-year-old, and Matt, 37-year-old, used homemade costumes, props, face paint and a good dollop of imagination. They also included their three kids, Edith, 7-year-old, Arthur, 2-year-old, and baby Olive, in this challenge game.

The initial plan was not to post the pictures online. At first, they started to share the photographs with their relatives and friends to guess the film. Being impressed with their creative idea, their family and friends were successful to convince the Taylors to share the pictures with everyone on social media. It was a great idea and we are happy that they did it!

A new social media account was setup by the family called ‘Guess the Movie’. The info about this account said, “We dress up as different movie each afternoon for our loved ones to guess. They encouraged us to share them. We hope you enjoy guessing the movies.”

Many posts were shared by this family with everyone dressed up in different characters. Some of these movies include Dumb and Dumber, where both the kids pretended to be seated on a two-wheeler with their helmets on. Next came the Oscar winning film, La La Land, where Edith wore a yellow dress which made it easy to guess.

The third movie was Bohemian Rhapsody. We would surely want to know what Matt put on his head to create the hairstyle! The fourth movie was Three men and a baby. Everyone was impressed to see the family wear different bits of tartan. Then was the turn of the classic movie Braveheart. All kids and even Steph, drew fake facial hair.

Next came Superman. We surely want to applaud for Matt for his camouflage skills for this one. The next movie was Men in Black and the kids looked really cute in mini suits. They were also able to find an alien costume lying around in their house for this movie.

Home Alone, the next movie, pretty much represents the present scenario. The fake facial hair was back with the other movie, The Addams Family. Jurassic Park was easy to guess because of dinosaur prop. The family surely made a lot of effort and impressed us all.
