TAYLOR LAUTNER
Taylor Lautner was the guy behind the character, Jacob in The Twilight Saga. After the first movie, he gained much popularity because of his role. At the brink of taking flight in his career however, he experienced turbulence and finally went downhill when he was not able to maintain image and performance in his succeeding projects, Abduction, and Tracers. The movies were filled with a bad review and the hike in his pay also somehow warded off redemption projects. Although his shift in comedy is able to rake in investment money for him, we do think he knows very well that these won’t be the industry that’ll help him win awards. We hope to see him back on track soon!
HUGH GRANT
Hugh Grant, although being one of those celebrities who would sometimes make it to news headlines for something negative, manage to maintain his career and remain unbothered. There was one scandal back in 1995 that involved a prostitute yet he still nailed his movies, Notting Hill, Love Actually, and Bridget Jones’s Diary. Lately, though, there has been an obvious decline in his career whereby it has been hard for him to land in major movie roles. It seems that his credit roles of being a sweetheart leading man in movies have caused him to be type-casted as such and is unable to adjust in any other roles. From here on, if it were true, it’s tough luck for this heartthrob.
FREDDIE PRINZE JR.
Another of Hollywood’s known it-guy, Freddie Prinze Jr. seems to be not so much of it anymore nowadays. In his latest sitcom, Freddie, it has been quite obvious how his career has been going downhill such project didn’t grow or even activate his fanbase and so it was considered a flop. Also, with the number of underperforming roles and results of his projects, it looks like it’s going to take a while for us to see him back on screen. To pay off mortgages, and just to keep the flow moving, Prinze shifted to voice credits and apparently seemed to have been a flop too. Hopefully, the new hobby of gaming would yield success and credits soon!
ROBIN THICKE
In 2013, Robin Thicke became known in the music industry of pop. With the chart-topping single, Blurred Lines he easily became quite a sensation in all America. But due to some unfortunate events, one bad decision led to another when he got sued by the family of the late Marvin Gaye for some serious similarity of his hit song to Gaye’s Got to Give it Up. Involving the help of lawyers in both parties a settlement arrived. But this shortly also led to another court proceedings of divorce between Thicke and his wife. And even though, he tried to win her back publicly by releasing a new album and crediting it to his wife’s name, success didn’t follow suit both for the album and the divorce.
WARREN BEATTY
Warren Beatty’s unfortunate threat in his career happened when he became one of the presenters in the 2017 Academy Awards for Best Picture. It was said that he was given the wrong envelope by the accountant of the ceremony when he was supposed to announce the winner for best picture. However, he passed the envelope on to his co-presenter, Faye Dunaway – which she erroneously announced La La Land the winner instead of the true winner of that category to be Moonlight. Although it was purely not their fault really, Beatty faces the downhill effects of his showbiz investment. Too bad, we hope it won’t be for long.
JAMIE KENNEDY
It may have not meant anything to Jamie Kennedy when he starred in failed commercial credits such as Son of the Mask and Malibu’s Most Wanted. But those flops should have been like a red flag to him so he could have done well to adjust and avoid such end. However, he has some projects that became okay such as Scream and The Jamie Kennedy Experiment. Finally, in 2013 another opportunity presented itself to him and he became the New Year’s Eve special broadcast host in Los Angeles, First Night 2013. To start the night off he joked about Psy, the Korean artist and it was borderline vulgar. Long story short, the event was a flop and was followed by technical issues as well as with poor product placements. Just like that, the start-of-the-year broadcast became to him also the end Kennedy’s career.
ROBERT BLAKE
Robert Blake is one of the prime Hollywood actors who have graced the industry for six long decades. He started as a child actor and has maintained a career in front of the camera until in 2001 when news about how his second wife, Bonnie Lee Bakley was violently murdered. News reported that his wife was found shot in the head in Blake’s car which was parked near the restaurant where they just had dinner. He was acquitted at first for lack of evidence to prove that he murdered his wife. However, years later, he was found guilty by a jury and was made to pay millions and this led to his bankruptcy as well.
CEELO GREEN
Renowned singer and songwriter, CeeLo Green is a top-charter artist for his soul music songs. His songs become easily a hit worldwide. Not only is he known for his musical talent, but he is also a known businessman and voice talents in movies as well as appears on TV shows. With good money management, he is able to win and gain some more. However, his behavior somehow became quite a problem and has caused him legal troubles. Also, there have been some social media comments he made that were just to off for his fans to take, like comments that defended rape and the likes. Yikes.
KATHY GRIFFIN
In 2017, comedian Kathy Griffin who is a known broadcaster of CNN also appears in many comedy shows on TV and even accepts supporting roles in films and TV productions. It was in a very unfortunate social media post she made on that year that her biggest career threat happened. She took to social media a photo of her with the U.S. President Donald Trump mannequin which was covered in blood. It was so out of bound that it was taken as a threat to the life of the president. Though it was only a joke, it backlashed on her and caused her dismissal from CNN just days after she posted the photo. Also, all her tours and events were canceled. While all artists like her make sure everything they do is an investment for their next project, hers seem to have been a bad one and stopped the succeeding.
JARED FOGLE
Jared Fogle made a name for himself back when he was just a college student who credited his significant weight loss to eating Subway sandwiches. His story was featured in the school’s newspaper and got the attention of the Subway. Soon he got hired to be the Subway’s spokesperson. Soon, this opportunity led him to a series of success in appearing on TV commercials and even in the film series, Sharknado. But in 2015, upon advised by a reporter, the FBI investigated him and was eventually arrested for child pornography and child prostitution. The next thing about him was a sentence of 15 years in prison.
