Actor that seems to be the most different in real life than on screen

It has to be Harrison Ford. He seems so incredibly uncomfortable and weird in any interview, bordering on angry that he has to be there. I thought it was simply because he is old now and has gotten really grumpy in his old age. But then I saw this interview he did with David Letterman in 1982:

Letterman even commented on how uncomfortable Ford looked and Ford kept making these very weird facial expressions. It's like Ford had no idea what to do with his eyes. This person was nothing like Han Solo or Indiana Jones. That tells me that Ford is one hell of an actor.
In contrast, just about every other actor seems to be the exact same in interviews as they are in their movies and shows. Robert Downey Jr. comes to mind as someone who doesn't appear to act so much as play himself on air.

Henry Winkler, hands down. Watch him on any episode of Happy Days then watch him do an interview. Night and day...

You can see her shy, awkward nature peek through every once in awhile.

Naveen Andrews. Dude was hard core on Lost but is odd as hell IRL.

Harrison Ford is also an e-vac helicopter pilot on his free time at a ski resort, and does it for free. Fun fact.

He's really pretty much a fricking stud.
Is he still hitched to the beanpole (Calista Flockhart)?

Rock Hudson was the all-time most shining example of this. Big hulk of a man who had that tough name given to him by the business. Never made a movie without a female love interest. Bet some hard core homophobes freaked out when they 1st heard about his real life.
Was thought to be the ultimate "ladies man." The Beverly Hillbillies had a sort of a parody character of him that dated Ellie Mae. The character's name was Dash Riprock.

Harrison ford is the easy choice. Charismatic and charming on screen, and anyone who has ever worked for him will tell you he is a Ted Williams/Mickey Mantle class a-hole

Daniel Day Lewis is a fricking weirdo in interviews, as is Christoph Waltz.

well i don't know how we're defining "real life," but a lot of these actors have had public images created where they are still hetero studs

Steve Martin is one of the biggest assholes I've ever met.
Conversely, Regis Philbin is actually like that IRL.

The correct answer is Tom Cruise right?
Although he sucks at acting too.
