Warm Bodies characters

R

The lead character R was played by a 30-year-old actor Nicholas Hoult. Hoult has played the supporting characters in numerous big-budget mainstream films. In the film, his character R is the main protagonist, who is a member of the Fleshies. His character has no memory of his life before being a zombie. But, he takes a keen interest in hoarding objects which he considers to be special. He categorises Julie in a ‘special’ section and falls for her. On the other side, R also has a profound interest in human qualities and life before the apocalypse.

Julie Grigio

The love interest of the lead character, Julie Grigio, was played by Teresa Palmer. Teresa's character is very active and shown as a brave young woman, who loses a lot of her carefree nature after the apocalypse. As the film progresses, she starts to see a different side to R after he saved her, and she quickly comes to realise all that she thought about zombies may not be true.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Alright folks, let’s talk about hair! So I have this thick wild mane of hair, curly at the back, straighter at the front with a glorious tuft of grey baby hair by my cowlick 😝 ⁣ ⁣ I usually dump my hair on top of my head using a scrunchy. Guess it’s my go-to, running out the door kinda look. I never blow dry or style it, hate going to the hairdressers so it usually ends up out of the way on top of my head! I don’t know if it’s a I’m-a-time-poor-mum thing or simply because I’ve always been low maintenance and save makeup/styling for work? But I just feel lately that I want to show my hair a little more love otherwise I’ll just give it the old chop. ⁣ ⁣ Last night I went to bed with wet hair and seemingly I woke up with hair that actually looked coolish so I thought aha! Sleeping with wet hair is the secret but by the end of the day I got back home and WTF was that frizz mess?!? Gimme some tips folks, it took me TWO hours to untangle the matts at the back tonight. How do you take care of and love on your unruly hair with little time for yourself?! #thanksinadvance

Perry Kelvin

The character name Perry Kelvin, portrayed by Dave Franco, is Julie’s boyfriend. Even though he and Julie become distant due to his fervour to kill all the zombies, he still loves and cares for her. He is attacked and his brain is eaten by R, which is perhaps the reason why R feels a connection to Perry's memories.
