1. Persona

   A persona, in the word's everyday usage, is a social role or a character played by an actor. The word is derived from Latin, where it originally referred to a theatrical mask. The Latin word probably derived from the Etruscan word "phersu", with the same meaning, and that from the Greek πρόσωπον. Its meaning in the latter Roman period changed to indicate a "character" of a theatrical performance or court of law, when it became apparent that different individuals could assume the same role, and legal attributes such as rights, powers, and duties followed the role. The same individuals as actors could play different roles, each with its own legal attributes, sometimes even in the same court appearance.

Examples of persona in a Sentence

1. Marlon Brando:

   We create a persona, a building holding all the apartments that are our quirks and our dreams and our desires, and we walk around the world hoping to connect, but hoping, above all, to not be hurt.

2. Trump Jr.:

   I'd like to be more like him when it comes to business -- but I think I'm such a different person, it's hard to even compare us. His work persona is kind of what he is. I have a work face, and then there's my private life.

3. Jonathan Greenberg:

   He figured out what he had to do in order to deceive me and get onto that list. And he did it very well. And he maintained that persona of just sort of talking about his assets without any sense of debt and lying about it.

4. David Dollar:

   What he's doing is trying to create the image of a President who is battling foreign foes to protect the David Dollar economy, particularly the trading manufacturing sector, this is sort of his political persona to be a fighter on the trade front.

5. Ben Stiller:

   Ben Stiller said of Chanel's creative director. It breaks my heart. Maybe if we ever do another. WATCH : Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson Walk the Valentino Runway as Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- and Hansel Marc Jacobs, however, was more than happy to play Hansel Marc Jacobs in the comedy. I was thrilled to say yes to Ben Stiller, i thought the first one was hilarious. The Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- franchise, which debuted in theaters 15 years ago, is special for Ben Stiller, whoprefers the daft model to reamin a part of Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- legacy over Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB- other on-screen, persona, Greg Focker inMeet the Parents. I ’d much rather have somebody say, ‘ Hey, Derek Zoolander -LRB- Stiller -RRB-, ’ than ‘ Hey, Greg Focker,' he quipped. MORE : Justin Theroux Responds to Zoolander 2 Transphobia Controversy --' It Hurts My Feelings' The director/actor also revealed how he came up with the character's iconic Blue Steel pose. That look came out of me in the mirror at home, when I brush my hair or whatever, Ben Stiller recalled. I guess with the selfie culture, it’s just a natural extension. Did I have any idea that it would live on ? No. Although Ben Stiller and Penelope Cruz is new to the Zoolander world but has always been a fan of the comedy.
