We sometimes think reflexively in terms of stereotypes. For example, many people immediately think of a disheveled-looking man with crazy eyes if told to imagine what a scientist looks like. And a successful businessman is always a handsome person in a sharp suit and tie.

But in reality, of course, people in different professions can have any number of appearances. Here are just a few examples found by Bright Side that show how stereotypes are easily proven wrong. And don’t miss the bonus at the end of the article. It will break all your stereotypes.
