15 Movie Stars We Once Adored But Are Now Forgotten

These were some of history’s most talented actors. But, like with all wonderful things, their career came to an end, and they now dwell in obscurity.

1. Steven Seagal

Gone are the days when we thought Steven Seagal was the pinnacle of human development. On screen, he was a badass. Under Siege and Above The Law are two of his most well-known pieces. Despite his abilities, Seagal ended up as a b-list celebrity who could only land roles in obscure films that failed to make a big enough mark. His days are gone now.

2. Bruce Willis

In Die Hard, John McClane saved the lives of countless individuals. However, he was unable to save Bruce Willis‘ career. Willis has single-handedly ruined his professional career with a run of poor film selections. Willis appears to be pushing himself farther and further into the realms of obscurity, whether in Cop Out, Cold Light of Day, or The Whole Ten Yards.

3. Meg Ryan

Meg Ryan was the archetypal American Sweetheart back in the day. Ryan was a force to be reckoned with, with her girl next door beauty and curiously beautiful tomboyish characteristics. You’ll understand what we’re talking about if you’ve seen You’ve Got Mail or Sleepless in Seattle. We haven’t been able to recall her face in a long time.

4. Shia Labeouf

Following the success of Michael Bay’s Transformers films, Shia Labeouf became an international celebrity. The actor has now gone on to star in a number of critically praised films, including Fury and The Peanut Butter Falcon. Lady Luck simply will not smile on this gifted young man.

5. David Schwimmer

The part of Ross Geller in the cult classic comedy Friends will always be Schwimmer’s most memorable. He has appeared in films such as Madagascar and Run Fatboy Run. However, he never received the same level of acclaim for that performance as he did for his most famous TV one.

6. Mike Myers

The Austin Powers movie has a lot of individuals who despise it. We, too, find it wanting in a number of respects. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that they are an undisputed blockbuster franchise. Mike Myers will always be known as Austin Powers, the cool super spy. Beyond that, he has nothing to give.

7. Ashley Judd

Ashley Judd is from a famous family. Naomi Judd is her mother, and Wynonna Judd is her sister, both of whom are well-known country music singers. Judd is an Emmy-winning actress who has appeared in films such as Big Stone Gap, Double Jeopardy, and Olympus Has Fallen. She is now a political activist who participates in international humanitarian projects.

8. Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy appeared to be the real deal in the 1990s and early 2000s. He had everything we could want in a comedian: wit, comedy, good looks, and the potential to be one of Hollywood’s best. In the year 2021, Murphy has failed to build a name for himself since Doctor Dolittle and I-Spy.

9. Rob Schneider

Rob Schneider appears to have a significant rift with the general people as well as Hollywood. The Animal, Deuce Bigalow, Big Stan, and The Hot Chick were all created by the same person. What happened to him? Many folks don’t give a damn what the answer is to that query.

10. Brendan Fraser

Fraser became well-known after starring in the Mummy films. The Canadian-American actor went on to perform in films such as Inkheart and Journey To The Center Of The Earth, which cemented his status as a Hollywood heartthrob once more. Fraser has undergone a significant physical transformation. He’s now advocating for body positivity and criticizing the entertainment industry for indirectly pushing body shaming.

11. Melissa McCarthy

Amy Schumer would be our first choice if there was one comedian/actress we couldn’t live without. Melissa McCarthy is unquestionably the second. In Mike & Molly and Bridesmaids, she created a name for herself. You’d think so after seeing the horrible Ghostbusters reboot and the dreadful Thunder Force.

12. Jackie Chan

Chan has been dubbed the “Hollywood Bruce Lee.” Jackie Chan was on his way to becoming a mega-star, thanks to his quick-witted action choreography and a taste for humour. Some of his best Hollywood films are The Tuxedo, The Spy Next Door, The Karate Kid, and The Medallion. He now primarily works in the Chinese film industry. He is also a liability for American studios because of his strong political views.

13. Charlie Sheen

We’d be on that rocket with Jeff Bezos if we had a dime for every time someone laughed when they heard the name Charlie Sheen. How the mighty have fallen, Charlie Harper!!

14. Cameron Diaz

Diaz had it all: glitz, glam, celebrity, fortune, and power. The Mask demonstrated how sensual and alluring this blonde bombshell was. She’s also a fantastic actress. After her film career fell through, she became a stay-at-home parent in Los Angeles, caring for her daughter.

15. Ray Liotta

Ray Liotta put his heart and soul into every project he worked on, whether it was Goodfellas or Killing Them Softly. His performance in the moderately hit Wild Hogs was also well-received. Because of his pointless rants against major studios and directors, Liotta became a walking target for target practice. His career took a turn for the worst.
