Rooney was today's Depp.
Bogart was quite different off screen, according to his squeeze of many years, Ms. Bacall.
Mr. Cooper was aristocratic in bearing, highly polished, but played simple guys a lot until you see him in several roles as an executive... or as the sheriff in "High Noon."
Gable's "Mutiny" character had nothing to do with his comic roles.
There are many instances of studios allowing many stars to share a film. Brando and Sinatra in a certain musical first comes to mind. Wayne and Stewart in several. Your rule is true in the main, of course.
I just don't appreciate Depp. He always plays the same role as far as I can see, the rather whacky yet sensitive kind of nice guy.
