Guess what?
Our crazy list continues today with a part 3 video of Top 10 Actors Hollywood Won’t
Hire Anymore.
We can all admit that actors often find themselves caught up in different scandals, bad decisions,
or even false accusations.
Unfortunately, being in the spotlight, it affects your career more than it would for
someone who is not.
Let’s jump into today’s list.
10) Starting off our list in the number 10 spot is Eddie Murphy.
Yes, the hilarious comedic actor has found himself in some situations that aren’t so
funny.
If you didn’t know about the story that broke the news it was Eddie Murphy being arrested
in a prostitution scandal.
The arrest happened back in 1997 and don’t think for a second that Hollywood has forgotten
about it.
On May 2nd of 1997, the police pulled over Murphy’s car at 4:45am after they observed
that a well-known transsexual prostitute got inside.
Murphy claims that he saw the person was having some trouble and pulled over to ask if they
were alright.
That’s when the prostitute asked him for a ride and he agreed.
Murphy went on the record and said, “I did nothing wrong.
I was trying to be a good Samaritan and this is what happens”.
The prostitute was arrested but no charges were placed on the actor.
Good news is, some people believed his side of the story and he still went on to book
some good acting roles.
However, the story resurfaced in 2015 because only 1 year after Murphy had picked her up,
she was dead in a very mysterious circumstance.
The case was opened up again all these years later which brought up Murphy’s little run
in with her.
TheLipTv posted a video about journalist Mark Ebner talking about Eddie and all of his past
history with different prostitutions.
He also shares that he met with one of the prostitutes who’s been with Eddie and claims
that Eddie’s lawyer, Marty Singer, paid her 50’000 dollars to change her story in
tabloids.
She even had the cheque and records to prove it.
So, Eddie’s reputation in Hollywood is no longer a good one.
He has booked some acting work but nothing that puts him in the Hollywood spotlight like
he used to be.
9) At number 9 we have Paris Hilton.
She was once the big talk of the town and held a household name for her stupid saying
“that’s hot”.
She had the title of best-selling author at one time and was a highly paid actress, model,
DJ, and brand ambassador.
But, we don’t quite hear about her anymore do we?
Here’s a few reasons why she’s not booking any more acting roles.
Well, number 1.
She sucked as an actor, if you’re just going off my opinion.
But a big reason which caused a lot of controversy for the “actress” was her 2004 sextape
that went viral called 1 Night in Paris.
Paris claims that the sex tape was actually put out by her ex-boyfriend and was never
meant to be seen by anyone.
She said it has completely ruined her life and is something she will have to explain
to her kids one day.
She also said that it gave her the title of a “slut” which is why she only really
booked roles like the slutty girlfriend in House of Wax who gives road head in one of
her scenes and dies half naked in the other.
Another reason her career has been affected is because of her politic views and being
closely tied to President Trump.
She has known Trump since childhood and Trump even took it as far as speaking about her
sex tape saying that he and his wife Melania watched it together.
There’s a disturbing image none of us need in our minds.
And to top it all off in 2012, a recording of Paris talking in a taxi cab was leaked
and it exposed her saying homophobic comments.
On the recording you can hear Paris say “Most gay men probably have aids.
Gay guys are the horniest people in the world.
They’re disgusting.
I would be so scared if I was a gay guy, you’d like, die of aids”.
When the scandal went public you can imagine what it did to her career and also her reputation
as a decent human being.
8) Sliding into spot number 8 is Isaiah Washington, the actor who is known for his role on the
famous TV show Grey’s Anatomy.
He found himself on Hollywood’s blacklist after he made some homophobic comments at
the 2007 Golden Globe Awards.
This is what had his career come crashing down because he was already on thin ice for
insulting his co-star T.R Knight with homophobic language just a year earlier.
After the incident at the Golden Globes, he was put in “executive counseling” but
not too long into it did Grey’s Anatomy decide that he was going to be fired and his
contract would not be renewed.
After being fired when the actor was asked about it he said, I quote, “after the incident
at the Golden Globes, everything just fell apart.
I lost everything.
I couldn’t afford to have an agent…
I couldn’t afford to have a publicist…
I couldn’t afford to continue”.
The former television star has found a way to continue on by starring in B-list movies
and any projects he can still get his hands on.
7) In at number 7 we have Katie Holmes, the actress who is also known as a Tom Cruise’s
ex-wife.
The actress was once in the prime of her career, booking roles in a variety of different movies.
It wasn’t until she began dating and then later married actor Tom Cruise, that her career
started to take some hits.
Over the years, Cruise has faced tons of heat when it comes to his religious beliefs and
his close link to Scientology.
It’s no coincidence that his first ex-wife Nicole Kidman, turned her back on him for
this controversial religious beliefs as well.
One of Katie’s co-stars from Dawson’s Creek, who remained close with Katie after
all those years, says that her career had been blacklisted.
They went on to tell an interviewer that her career began to take a downward spiral because
Hollywood wants nothing to do with Scientology which is believed to have skewed results of
Oscar voting on more than one occasion.
Some people have pointed out that no actor linked to Scientology ever wins an Oscar,
like Tom Cruise himself and even John Travolta for his role in Pulp Fiction.
Not to mention, Nicole Kidman was nominated but never won an Oscar while married to Cruise,
but after they divorced she took home an Oscar not long after.
Coincidence?
I think not.
Now that Katie is divorced from Cruise she has returned to Roman Catholic Church she
used to go to.
SO maybe she has time to turn it all around if she wants to?
6) Coming into spot number 6 is Thora Birch, an actress who many of us still watch in her
movie Hocus Pocus every Halloween.
She began acting as a child and turned into a star in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s;
that’s when her career really took off.
She received amazing reviews doe her performance in the Academy Award-nominated film American
Beauty, and she also received a Golden Globe nomination for her role in Ghost World.
However, the star has found herself blacklisted from Hollywood because of her difficult behavior.
During an interview when asked about her career she said “I pissed a lot of people off over
a long period of time and they found a way to upset me, hoping that upset would bring
a change in my behavior.
Like a distancing, but I’m done”.
It didn’t help that a story broke the news that her father, who was her manager for many
years, physically threatened one of her co-stars.
That’s when she was fired from the Dracula, the off-Broadway revival.
She recently returned to acting a little bit here and there, but it’s clear she will
never go on to be the star many people thought she could be.
5) Half way through the list we have Elijah Woods, obviously known for his role of Frodo
in the Lord Of The Rings movie series.
But what happened to him after that?
He continued to his acting career but got on the wrong side of Hollywood executives
when he told the media that the film industry was full of sexual predators that targeted
young child actors.
Coming from one of the most accomplished child actors of his time, the accusation was damaging
on his career.
He went on to say that he never experienced that kind of abuse himself but said, I quote,
“If you’re innocent – you have very little knowledge of the world and you want
to succeed- people with parasitic interests will see you as their prey”.
I mean, he’s not wrong.
After the comments were made his resume began to dwindle.
He began booking voiceover work in family-friendly movies like Happy Feet, but began to move
away from acting.
He started to progress a career as a DJ and even started his own label called Simian Records.
4) Swiping our number 4 spot is actress Tara Reid.
Most of us girls will know her from her role in the movie Josie and the Pussycats, and
most guys will know her from the American Pie movies.
The actress was once very successful, finding her way to play the hottie in most of her
movies.
She did go on to land a role in the TV series Scrubs which allowed her to show her talent
outside of the comedic movies we always say her in.
However, it wasn’t long after she left the show in 2005 did she find herself caught up
in hard partying, negative publicity, and awful plastic surgeries.
Which is a shame because she was naturally a very pretty girl.
All these things have been enough for studios to be turned off from casting her, and she
now finds herself booking a lot of smaller roles in short films and other projects.
3) Here we are at number 3 with Kirstie Alley.
Towards the end of the 19080’s, she was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
She received a ton of recognition and praise for her role as Rebecca Howe in the TV series
Cheers, even winning a Primetime Emmy for her performance.
She also had won over the hearts of millions of American males with her stunning good looks.
However, she struggled to remain relevant after Cheers came to an end and some personal
troubles led her gain a significant amount of weight; to a point where she was barely
recognized.
It also didn’t help that she was also closely linked to Scientology, which she sacrificed
a lot of personal relationships for.
As a result of joining the religion, reports say that many of Hollywood’s executives
avoided doing any business with her because they feared they would also be labeled in
connection to Scientology.
For years her career took a hit to most of us she fell off the face of the earth.
A few years ago she began a weight watchers program and lost some weight, and even landed
a smaller role in the TV show The Scream Queens.
But that was in 2016 and she has nothing on her IMDB resume ever since then.
2) Alright guys, taking the number 2 spot on our list is Brendan Fraser; known for his
roles in Bedazzled and The Mummy.
He was once a very popular actor that many fans adored but during the 2000’s, his career
started to fade out and a lot of people were wondering why.
Just last year, Brendan opened up to GQ for an exclusive interview, talking about what
has happened over all his absent years.
He opened up about depression after his mother’s death, which led to an unhealthy lifestyle
and weight gain.
It wasn’t until this interview that he opened up about a sexual assault incident he faced
with the former HFPA president Philip Berk, back in 2003.
He said he held it in for all these years but felt inspired by the current Me Too movement
that is going on right now.
Brendan said that the HFPA has never invited him back to the Golden Globes ever since the
incident surfaced; he also says no major productions are willing to hire him either.
1) Taking our number 1 spot is Megan Fox.
Director Michael Bay’s first Transformers movie is what turned Megan Fox into an instant
star.
From then on, Men’s Magazine couldn’t get enough of her and directors rushed to
cast her in any upcoming action films and other projects.
Let’s face it, she was one of Hollywoods biggest hotties.
She hit a snag in her career when her feud with Michael Bay went viral and caused the
majority of Hollywood to strike against her.
The feud between the two of them was heavily documented and the world was thrilled to watch
it all go down.
It was by 2009 when the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen came out, that the tension really
surfaced.
It got so bad that Megan called the director a Natzi and told Wonderland Magazine that,
I quote, “People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting.
He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is”.
She was part of the rehearsal process for the next movie, Transformers: Dark of the
Moon, but was fired from the movie after the Hitler comment.
Bay admitted in an interview that Steven Spielberg said “fire her right now” after he heard
the horrific comment.
She went on the act in movies such as Jennifer’s Body, which was a box office bomb and earned
a 43% on Rotten Tomatoes.
After that she was casted in Passion Pit which earned just 3%.
I think that’s the lowest rating I’ve ever seen on there.
Apparently she is in a movie called Zeroville that’s expected out this year, but it was
directed and created by James Franco, who’s also been blacklisted in Hollywood.
At least they can all work together and create their own movies I guess?
Okay guys, there is part 3 of our list.
Let me know all of your thoughts and feelings in the comments below so that I can reply
to some of them.
