7 actors and actresses who ruined their careers by making bad decisions
We reviewed some resounding failures by making the list of the 7 performers who ruined their careers by making bad professional or personal decisions. From a poor choice of agent who leads their careers to prompt that served to put another nail in her coffin, there are actors and actresses who are difficult to raise their heads again.
Of course, taking into account that they are all part of the American system, you should never rule out second chances ... Another thing is that they really deserve them.
Kevin Spacey
If there is a recent, alarming and media case, it is that of actor Kevin Spacey who has gone from being one of the best valued of his generation to total ostracism: his character Frank Underwood has been eliminated from the Netflix series House of Cards and does not appear in any form in the final season and Ridley Scott, in a daring and risky last minute decision, decided to re-record the sequences in which he appeared in All the Money in the World giving Christopher Plummer the opportunity to play Paul Getty (work that earned him his first Oscar nomination).
At this point it is difficult not to know the story behind all this hubbub: Spacey was accused by several people of being a sexual predator and of having misconduct on set for years but the decision he made ended up portraying him was confessing his homosexuality on social networks ... As if that was something that exempted him from his responsibility. Not only did he not find the support he was trying to seek, but this made him even more alone.
Mickey rourke
After enjoying a very interesting career throughout the 80s, a phase in which he worked under Ford Coppola, he set the billboards on fire with Nine and a Half Weeks, the erotic drama starring Kim Basinger. However, his bad decisions soon began: among others, start working on low-quality productions and miss titles like Pulp Fiction, Rain Man, Platoon or The Silence of the Lambs.
To this must be added his return to the boxing rings in 1991 (his first occupation, which he had to leave after suffering two concussions), which caused him numerous injuries including some as serious as short-term memory loss.
His face was also very altered by numerous surgeries that practically left him disfigured for life. Although not everything is negative: in 2008 Darren Aronofsky gave him a role tailor-made for him in The Wrestler, with which he managed to win the Golden Globe, the BAFTA and even led him to be nominated for an Oscar.
Currently Mickey Rourke is still active, although he does not usually concatenate many jobs a year and his roles are usually secondary.
Charlie sheen
If there is one actor who perfectly exemplifies poor decision making, it is Charlie Sheen. Despite having shown himself capable of laughing at himself in a series like Two and a Half Men, it is no less true that he abandoned himself to such excesses that he managed to completely ruin his career.
In this way, he has gone from being the highest paid actor in Hollywood to facing the 53-year-old with a huge personal crisis that of course has also washed away his cache. Now it has the dubious honor of being on the blacklist of the audiovisual industry, dragging heavy financial problems as recently detailed by People magazine.
To this must be added multiple scandals such as the one that occurred when he announced that he was HIV-positive and that he had had relationships with numerous unprotected women, or the most recent: the fact that he has requested a reduction in his child support due to the fall in your estate.
Shia LaBeouf
Shia LaBeouf seems to be haunted by the scandal, although it does not seem that his media appearances do him any good so, on the contrary, he harms himself with each new controversy he stars in.
After becoming the darling of Hollywood and even taking over from a beloved character like Indiana Jones, his career took a nosedive with alcohol abuse, violent behavior, making racist comments and, in short, establishing himself as an actor. unreliable and tending to generate ugly headlines.
The latest news we have is that he has broken his relationship with Mia Goth, with whom he was married for two years, and that he has started a new romance with FKA Twigs with whom he co-stars Honey Boy, a tape in which his apparently Biography. Will it be the second chance you need? We'll see, but he's going to have a hard time shedding his naughty boy fame.
Renée zellweger
The passage of time is especially cruel for actors and actresses, who live off their bodies and their faces and face age in different ways. Renée Zellweger is the paradigmatic case of an interpreter who has disfigured her face with a scalpel in such a way that it has become completely unrecognizable. The same could be said of Meg Ryan or Courtney Cox: gorgeous actresses whose wild surgeries have only worsened the natural aging process.
The result: five years out of the spotlight and since 2016 one or two titles at most per year. And a stormy relationship with the media, which she accuses of launching negative comments about her appearance and carrying a harmful message to society.
Lindsay Lohan
In the case of this actress, the difficult thing is to find a good decision in her record. She has had so many problems that she managed to go bankrupt after squandering her fortune. From a very young age, she began with problems such as eating disorders and strong addictions to alcohol and narcotics that caused her career to gradually fade.
Her notorious reputation for being capricious on set, a bad partner and not trying to learn her script lines did her no favors.
Despite being only 32 years old, Lindsay Lohan has been quite crushed but she is beginning to straighten her life: after a long rehabilitation process and practically 3 years without stepping on a film set, she returns to the ring with a series and some projects under her belt. arm.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Lives of excess sometimes have a tragic end as is the case with actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was found by a friend in the bathroom of his West Village apartment with a needle in his arm.
In May 2013, he confessed that he had just finished rehab treatment to deal with his addiction problems. Apparently he had ended up relapsing (after 23 years without using drugs) gradually starting with pills and finally ending with snorting heroin.
Logically this relapse had been eroding her work for months not to mention her personal life ... At 46, an overdose deprived us of her talent forever.
We leave you with a video in which we also review the actors that nobody wants to work with, the most problematic in Hollywood:
