At actors happens so, that today you are kindly treated by public, and tomorrow everyone forgot about you ...
When it comes to an unfulfilled acting career, among the possible causes may be drunkenness, intrigue, an unsuccessful distribution of roles and even an overestimation of talent. Not all actors manage to build their careers in such a way that directors dream to see them on the set, and the fans eagerly awaited new roles. Let's give examples of 10 promising acting careers, which suddenly made a sharp turn.
1. Cameron Diaz
Successfully debuting in the '90s in The Mask and starring in Charlie's Angels, Cameron was even nominated for the Golden Globe for her roles in the films "Everyone is crazy about Mary", "Vanilla Sky", "Gangs of New York" and "Being John Malkovich." The peak of her career came in 2002-2003, and since then she has not played in any significant film, and among her prizes there is only an odious "Golden Raspberry".
2. Drew Barrymore
Once Drew was one of the highest paid Hollywood actresses. Released from the famous actor's dynasty Barrymorov, she was one of the most talented children's movie stars. Successful were her roles in Charlie's Angels and 50 First Kisses. She continues to act, but films with her participation no longer have such success.
3. John Travolta
The best films by John Travolta were "Briolin", filmed in the distant 1978, and "Pulp Fiction" 1994. Since then, all his attempts to play a big role have traditionally been a failure.
4. Catherine Zeta Jones
In "Zorro" Catherine was unforgettable! In the films "Ocean's Twelve" and "Fanatic," she was in full bloom. However, the pictures "Nanny on a call" and "Rock for ages", it seems, were the last good luck in her career. In the last films we see only a pale shadow of former glory.
5. Will Smith
Will Smith is now more occupied with his son Jayden, which makes him a good father. On the other hand, he has a huge acting talent, which he showed admirably in the film "Independence Day" and in all three comedic fantasy fighters "Men in Black". Since then, unfortunately, he was not seen in really good films. And even the last superhero thriller with his participation, "Squad of suicides", unfortunately, did not bring him the recognition that he deserves. Having collected good box office tickets in the first week of hire, the film was subjected to devastating reviews of critics, the softest of which was announced by Entertainment Weekly, writing that, compared to Batman vs. Superman, this film is a step forward, but insignificant.
6. Pierce Brosnan
The name of the former Mr. Bond has not been seen for a couple of years in the credits. His last significant film "Matador" was released in 2005, and since then no one has been particularly interested in his new roles. In 2014, Brosnan appeared in the title role of the second-rate spy thriller "Man of November", but since then, almost nothing has been heard of him.
7. Hillary Swank
Hillary Swank showed her temperament and acting talent in the movie "Baby in the Million", having won an Oscar for Best Actress. She proved that she can play a leading role in the picture of such magnitude, but in less significant films her acting skills have failed. The last standing film with her participation was the drama PS I Love You. Did you notice her playing in the movie "Local"? And no one noticed!
8. Nicolas Cage
Most of all, this actor remembered the film "Without a Face", masterly showing the art of reincarnation in this fantastic thriller of John Woo. Having earned prestigious awards for a talented game in the films "Leaving Las Vegas" and "Adaptation", Cage has not since been remembered in any of his many roles played subsequently.
9. Miley Cyrus
Our list will be incomplete without the famous Hannah Montana from the eponymous series and the movie for teenagers. What happened to that naive little girl Miley Cyrus that she was? Her frank present dances and outfits are not meant for youthful eyes at all. In addition, apart from this role of the schoolgirl, she did not do anything special anymore.
10. Ryan Gosling
Ryan Gosling is perfect, just look at these muscles! And to demonstrate his acting skills, watch this little video and smile.
