Actress who were no longer entrusted to valuable roles in films by directors
Sooner or later, in any actress career, a decline occurs. The reasons may be different: someone does not want to be hired due to a scandalous life, others do not adapt to the profile of the characters and we also find several who want to rest from everything and go surfing the best waves in the ocean.
Bright Side remembered those we haven't seen on the big screen for a long time and discovered the reasons why movie posters no longer bear their names.
One of the most beautiful actresses, Jessica Alba, failed to demonstrate to film directors the most important thing
The actress explains that she hardly plays important roles anymore due to the fact that film directors and others related to this industry have not been able to determine her ethnic origin. Because of this, she has always been perceived as something exotic. Despite this peculiar identification, Alba landed several notorious roles, for example, in the films Honey, the dancing queen, Awake, Sin City (Sin City) and The Fantastic Four.
The superhero movie in which she participated was a resounding failure. This was followed by tapes whose ratings were getting lower and lower. The 2011 film An Invisible Sign was shattered: critic Andrew Schenker called the actress's performance "strange" and "deadpan."
In her career, we find three Golden Raspberry Award nominations and an award for the filming of My Girlfriend's Family: The Little Fockers (Little Fockers). Nowadays, after a long hiatus, Jessica is trying to return to the profession again, but so far, unfortunately, without much success.
Gwyneth Paltrow's attitude towards her co-workers became a reason to laugh through tears
Media professionals, co-workers and others who had the opportunity to deal with Gwyneth Paltrow accused her of snobbery. Her filming colleagues, on more than one occasion, confessed that it was difficult for them to work with this actress because she treated everyone who was below her status without respect.
This is a compelling reason, but not the only reason why now Paltrow can only be seen in Marvel movies. Gwyneth sometimes even forgets the names of her classmates and the projects in which she participates. In July 2019, at a culinary show, she failed to recall her participation in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Later, Tom Holland, the actor who played the role of Spider-Man, joked about it, saying that it hurt her heart.
Another Marvel actor, Sebastian Stan, known for his role as Bucky, was also not left out and once again mentioned the forgetfulness of Paltrow. On his Instagram account he posted a photo from a fashion show, the message of which said that he was happy to be introducing himself to Gwyneth for the third time, reminding her of her name.
Uma Thurman's ex-husband put her before a very difficult choice
There was a time when Uma Thurman was one of the most sought after Hollywood stars. Of course, this also happened thanks to the help of Quentin Tarantino's film director. But over time, her interest in the actress waned and now we see her less and less on the big screen.
One of the reasons for this decline was the fabulous fees that she Thurman demanded for participating in film projects. The directors weren't willing to take such a risk, as the actress's work was often out of budget.
In addition, her disagreements with her ex-husband, Arpad Busson, affected her career. In 2016, he gave Thurman an ultimatum: If she returned to filming, she would no longer be able to see her daughter Luna from hers. The issue ended up in the hands of lawyers to resolve the conflict.
The happiest event in every woman's life was a test for Hayden Panettiere
Following her memorable role in Heroes, Hayden Panettiere participated in the filming of the equally popular series Nashville. For her work on it, she was even nominated for a Golden Globe in 2012 and 2013. But everything changed when the actress had a daughter.
In 2015, she received treatment at a clinic for postpartum depression. Hayden took a long time to recover and be the same again, so she did not think about participating in new films.
After breaking up with boxer Vladimir Klichkó in 2018, Panettiere began dating actor Brian Hickerson. She soon, she filed a lawsuit in which she accused her boyfriend of domestic violence. Despite this event, both remain as a couple. Given the circumstances of the actress's personal life, it is not surprising that her career has stalled.
Catherine Zeta-Jones' personal problems attracted the actress's full attention
Personal problems in one way or another affect the career of an actor. When, in 2013, reports appeared in the press that Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas were living apart and were about to be divorced, this news made many front pages. Due to pressure from society and her family problems, the actress ended up in depression.
By 2016, her relationship with Douglas improved, but one problem replaced another. Catherine herself granted an interview where she recounted that she suffered from bipolar disorder. Her mental health has become a top priority.
Now, Zeta-Jones is slowly starting to get back on track. In 2017, she launched the series Feud, where she played one of the supporting roles. Although actress Olivia de Havilland, who became the prototype of her character, spoke about Catherine's work, but not in a very flattering way.
Ashley Greene finally played a lead role, but reality fell far short of expectations
Participation in a popular franchise often brings not only a positive but, unfortunately, a negative effect. On the one hand, everyone had news of Ashley Greene and she achieved hers of her own fans, but on the other, no one was interested in seeing her in other roles.
In 2012, she played the lead role in the horror movie The End of Time. The film, at the box office, made just $ 4.9 million, despite a budget of $ 17 million, not to mention that critics did not skimp on sarcastic comments. After such an ambiguous experience, the directors seem in no rush to cast Green leading roles in her films.
Jessica Biel would have done better if Anne Hathaway had never taken up acting
Many people now remember Jessica Biel only when talking about her husband, Justin Timberlake. Of her latest work, one can speak, at most, of the series The Sinner, which has been on screen since 2017.
The directors see in the actress a beautiful woman from romantic comedies and are not willing to offer her roles in serious projects. In 2012, Jessica auditioned for the role of Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, but it fell to Anne Hathaway. Later, Biel wanted to be Fantine in the musical Les Misérables and, again, here he crossed the path of her Anne again.
Jessica herself believes that perhaps her appearance plays a decisive role here. Behind a beautiful face and slim figure, no one wants to discern in her her talent as a serious dramatic actress.
