The careers of these 9 famous people collapsed in an instant because of Hollywood
Many actors end up failing the test of fame. Some over time increase their conditions so much that directors end up simply distancing themselves from them. Others are ruined by their bad character and there are still those who, when bathing in the waters of popularity, dive headlong into a wild life.
Bright Side wants to tell you what happened to various talented actors who were once very popular and were thrown overboard by Hollywood. And in the end a bonus awaits you: a funny story about one of these protagonists.
9. Tara Reid
Tara Reid began her acting career by doing commercials. And her popularity was increasing day by day. Then came two hit movies: "The Big Lebowski" and "Sex Games." The glory reached her.
But after that, the failure began with various roles without repercussion. Tara's trajectory wandered downhill. Hollywood couldn't forgive her for her low-quality comedies, and even the popular "American Pie" couldn't handle the situation.
8. Macaulay Culkin
The funny comedy "My poor little angel", like its second part, filled Macaulay Culkin with glory. She quickly became a top-notch star: Golden Globe nominee and "Boy of the Year" title.
As time passed, the actor's family fell into disagreement. As a result, the boy temporarily gave up his performances. But the hiatus dragged on for too long, and Hollywood ultimately forgot about him. Macaulay began to flirt with alcohol, which ultimately completely ended his career, scaring all the producers.
In 2017, the paparazzi photographed Culkin in a store. The actor had changed a lot and, most importantly, for the better.
7. Shia LaBeouf
The real popularity came to LaBeouf after the release of the movie "Transformers" and the later parts of this franchise. They all predicted a great future for him in Hollywood. In 2008, Shia received the BAFTA award in the "Rising Star" nomination.
But since 2008, the actor was regularly involved in some unpleasant situations: from an accident to a violation of public order and fights.
All of these stories practically destroyed his reputation as a rising star. And although the world of Hollywood did not completely separate from this actor, the producers became defensive and the offers to participate in filming fell notoriously.
6. Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan began her acting career in her childhood. True glory came to him in the early 2000s. He won awards and appeared in popular movies. And, apparently, it was at that time that the young woman felt she could do whatever she wanted and get away with it. Lohan began abusing alcohol. Glory turned out to be too difficult a litmus test for her.
Lindsay herself claims that had it not been for the Hollywood atmosphere, her life would have been very different.
5. Katherine Heigl
Katherine Heigl began her career in adolescence as a model in the agency "Wilhelmina Models" and only after that did she try herself as an actress.
Katherine's popularity reached its peak with the series "Grey's Anatomy." Later, she participated in the film "Slightly pregnant", of which she later spoke critically. After that, Heigl also allowed herself the license to make critical comments about the films in which she participated as a guest, a question that the producers did not like at all. As a result, proposals to shoot new films dropped considerably. Her reputation was shattered.
4. Charlie Sheen
In the late '80s and early' 90s, Charlie Sheen's career path was on the rise and film critics heralded a wonderful career and fame. And somehow, they were right.
Sheen actually participated in several highly successful movies and series. But the glory was detrimental to her career. The actor began to flirt excessively with alcohol, suffered several accidents and had to undergo treatment in rehabilitation centers. All these events caused his reputation to decline. Hollywood does not forgive these types of mistakes: many film studios refused to work with the actor after the events and broke their contracts with him.
3. Mischa Barton
The television series "The O. C." brought Mischa Barton huge popularity. She gained world fame and no one doubted that a resounding success in Hollywood awaited her.
But fame and la dolce vita cost him dearly. She tried to relax by consuming alcohol and sleeping pills. This led Barton to spend long stays in rehab centers. Her weight dropped sometimes and increased at other times. And the result was immediate: the actress lost her chance to achieve success. Hollywood forgot about her, probably forever.
2. Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy managed to earn the title of king of comedy in Hollywood. Film critics thought that her professional career was unstoppable. But over time, the actor began to opt for roles in failed movies. This caused him to go from being the protagonist to participating in films temporarily.
In 2006, he took a leap forward by playing the lead in the musical film "Soñadoras," which led to an Oscar nomination. Almost everyone was convinced that the jury would award the famous statuette to Murphy. But two weeks before the vote, the comedy "Norbit", in which this actor had the main role, hit the big screen. The movie drew tons of criticism and the esteemed Oscar passed by for Murphy. After this, the former glory of cinema has not resurfaced.
1. Amanda Bynes
At the beginning of his career, Amanda Bynes conquered the hearts of not only teenagers, but also film critics. His performances in the films "What a Girl Wants" and "A Girl in Distress" brought him numerous accolades. Everyone predicted a bright future for Bynes in Hollywood.
But after the filming of "It is said about me" in 2009, the actress began to have serious problems with alcohol. In 2010, Bynes announced that she would be taking a hiatus from her work, which dragged on. Back in 2017, she announced that she planned to return to the world of cinema. But it is not yet clear when it will happen and who will want to work with an actress who had so much trouble.
Bonus: Shia LaBeouf came to the premiere of the movie "Nymphomaniac" with a paper bag over his head.
With the following written message: "I am no longer famous." The actor did not cut himself and thus posed for photographers on the catwalk.
Each of us harbors our own weaknesses. But Hollywood does not forgive celebrities for their follies, their mistakes or failures. How about? Do you think these actors could regain their reputations and have their moment of glory again?
