Getting recognized in Hollywood is very difficult. However to stay on the reached peaks is an even more difficult task. That is why, it is not surprising that many movie stars, having won a good reputation for themselves, began to gradually lose ground. It's time to talk about great actors who keep wasting their talent in vain.
Why is this happening? Many Hollywood celebrities can't tell the difference between a successful project and a potential failure. Others, wanting to make money, rely on the intensity of filming, and sometimes the actor is simply not able to boast of a huge number of tempting offers.
Kate Hudson
Many will raise their eyebrows in surprise when they hear the name Kate Hudson, but you will definitely remember her from the films Almost Famous, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and The Key to All Doors. The most significant projects with the participation of the actress happened at the beginning of the new century and she has nothing more to brag about.
Experts tend to think that Hudson's career went into a downward arc due to her extreme promiscuity. Having gained star status, Kate began acting in second-rate films, which were often subjected to harsh criticism. The actress should only carefully select projects for herself and not chase quantity.
Nicolas Cage
When we hear the phrase “a film with Nicolas Cage” on the street, we are sure to listen to someone else’s conversation in order to understand what kind of picture we are talking about. During the activity the actor has repeatedly demonstrated the presence of talent and has become a kind of quality mark for any tape. However, circumstances have developed in such a way that Nicholas is now trying to revive his career.
Cage does not act in bad films from a good life - numerous debts forced the man to work as intensively as possible. With such a conveyor, there is simply no question of quality. The middle of the "tenth" years turned out to be frankly unsuccessful for Nicholas, but thanks to the projects "Color from other worlds" and "Pig" he returns to the big game.
Ashton Kutcher
The truth is, Ashton doesn't have too many really good roles. Critics noticed him after the release of the film "The Butterfly Effect" and called him one of the most promising actors of our time. Appearance and charisma allowed the guy to get almost any role., but he chose a simple path - romantic comedies.
It would be nice if the projects were really cult, but every new film with Kutcher becomes another "rogue". Ashton quickly became a hostage to the image and today it is not too easy for the star to find a serious role that will return him to the top.
Bruce Willis
Tracking the filmography of Bruce Willis, it was not easy to assume that he would soon be a real failure. All the problems began with the fifth part of the Die Hard franchise, which was a half-hearted attempt to revive the project.
Then Bruce tried to play in the film "The Expendables 3", but frankly greedy. The star was promised to pay 3 million dollars for 4 days of filming, but Willis thought this was not enough, and he demanded an increase in the fee. Of course, the actor's services were quickly abandoned, and Bruce himself Started acting in mid-range films.
Kevin James
The unconditional comedic talent and colorful appearance of the actor created for him a unique chance to become a Hollywood star of the first magnitude. He played really well in the series "King of Queens" and opened a direct path to a big movie. Kevin's first roles turned out just fine, so gradually the proposals from the directors began to sound more tempting.
But then the real nightmare began. James gained popularity, but stopped acting in really funny films. Almost all of Kevin's projects are comedies, the humor of which is so naive and simple that it seriously limits the audience of the pictures.
Tara Reed
The actress gained worldwide fame after the release of the films "The Big Lebowski" and "American Pie", but rather quickly disappeared from the field of view of the audience. Bad habits and addictions were to blame for everything - social life and financial freedom had a bad effect on the girl's condition.
Then there was an unsuccessful plastic surgery and numerous corrective surgeries, but time passed and, frankly, they managed to forget about Tara. Reid found nothing better than relaunch his career in the dubious Sharktornado franchise. Since the reporting films are not of high quality, we recommend them for viewing only to Tara's personal fans.
Adam Sandler
There is no doubt that Adam Sandler is an extremely talented actor. The hilarious film Lucky Gilmore, the slightly pretentious, but far from meaningless film All or Nothing, are vivid examples of the fact that the actor is capable of much. But modern tapes of Adam very rarely really "come" to the mass audience.
Experts believe that Sandler is wasting his talent, because trying to take on the maximum number of functions. He writes scripts, creates pictures on his own and plays the main roles in them, which is far from always advisable. Adam is also a good friend, he loves to shoot his buddies, even if more suitable actors are knocking on the door.
John Travolta
I must say that Travolta's career was very difficult. John is a favorite of millions and an extremely talented master, but he still has not realized his full potential. This is due to - poor choice of roles, for many years Travolta has been involved in frankly failed projects and sometimes the public simply forgets about him.
However, every time John is reborn like a Phoenix bird, Grease, Pulp Fiction, From Paris with Love are projects that allowed Travolta to stay afloat. Unfortunately, recently the actor has not come across really significant roles that can be remembered by the viewer.
Rob Schneider
We've already talked about Adam Sandler and Kevin James, it's time for their good buddy and talented comedian. If you ask people who know him personally about the actor, they will say that Rob is the funniest person in the world, and he does not get tired of entertaining his friends with selected jokes. However, it is not always appropriate to bring "kitchen" humor to the masses, which Schneider needs to think about.
Almost all films with his participation are a real Klondike of "toilet" jokes in the scenery of a naive plot, which opens before us a maximum of another common truth. However, much more often Rob's tapes are not too pretentious and are simply designed to entertain the public, which is rarely managed.
Eddie Murphy
The main comedy star of the "eighties" and "nineties" of the last century suddenly fell from the sky, sparkling with a bright fireball. Many attribute Eddie's failure to the failure of Pluto Nash, which not only was crushed by critics, but also buried the film studio that shot the tape. Murphy had a direct hand in this fiasco - he interfered in the filming process and abused his star status.
Also, Eddie is scolded for always being too much on the screen - often the actor played several characters at once. Be that as it may, the directors practically ceased to be interested in Murphy's services. Now he wants to revive his career with the revival of the forgotten Coming to America and Beverly Hills Cop franchises, but the chances of success are frankly slim.
