Despite the glamor, sophistication and outward calm, storms often fly across the sea under the name Hollywood, suddenly washing away the career of one of the artists into a pool of opals. In most cases, the actors themselves are guilty of this, by their behavior in society, statements in public or a slurred game in a particular film, they reject directors and spectators. Let's look at which of the American male artists , the recent wave of popular, directorial and producer indignation has washed away.
Mel Gibson
A film actor, as well as part-time director, producer and master of writing excellent scripts - Mel Gibson - for a reason went into the shadows for a long time. And for 10 years we have not seen new works from him, although the former all as one were bestsellers and invariably repelled their budget with interest. But overnight, the most famous film studios turned their backs on him, and he did not dare to create masterpieces “in the back of the empire”, considering that it was below his dignity.
What is the American artist Mel Gibson so guilty of? Of course, not that he was often detained and fined for driving while drunk. Which Hollywood star does not indulge in this? But the last time, when the police pulled him out from behind the wheel of a drunk and with a bottle of tequila, he began to speak unflatteringly about the Jews, saying that they were the causes of all the wars on Earth. His words immediately became public, which sharply condemned him, after which all the great studios told him that they did not need anti-Semite.
The scandal completed the rout after an interview with one of the famous Spanish newspapers in which he unflattering (to put it mildly) spoke about homosexuals. The opinion of the public on this issue was divided, but the film studios at once and unequivocally stated: “We also do not need a homophobe!”
True, after 10 years, he still came out of disgrace, having removed his grandiose project “For reasons of conscience” and taking “Golden Globe” and “Oscar” for the best direction, from which we can conclude that the Russian proverb was right: “Talent is not you drink it. " Moreover, even driving a car ...
Hayden Christensen
This is another loser from among American film artists - men. True, he is Canadian in origin, but this does not make him not an American, nor a Hollywood star (in the past).
A star is not a star, but he received his Golden Raspberry. And, as fans of the Star Wars universe say, deservedly. All of them were angry at him because he ruined such a funky role and personality as Darth Vader, aka Ekenen Skywalker. And he spoiled not by the fact that his hero was forced to take the side of the dark forces according to the script, but by the fact that he created on the screen the image of some whiner, always something displeased and whining. Although, we won’t be surprised if, in the end, a tendency to dark power was also attributed to him.
In some ways, his fate is akin to the fate of Briton Daniel Radcliffe. He, too, was slurred and tearful. For which he is now chilling on the sidelines. Although he had already earned a lot of money all his life as a child ...
John Travolta
It is generally accepted that the studios began to turn their backs on him after he incorrectly pronounced the name of one of the nominees at one of the next Academy Awards. This was hardly done on purpose, but the rejection caused the public. Added scandal to the fire and scandalous information about his penchant for homosexuality. Only now it is not clear: while some homosexuals wave of Hollywood rises, the second, for some reason, it throws ashore.
Hard words, ridicule and other utterances also do not bring reverence to the public. And the defeat of the famous American artist was completed by the statement of his former masseur, which he made in 2017 in the wake of sexual revelations provoked by Hollywood director Weinstein. He allegedly was once the target of homosexual harassment by Travolta. And this, as we understand it, put a bold and unconditional point on the career of a 64-year-old actor.
Nicolas Cage
Despite the fact that at one time, and to be more precise, in 1996, the actor was awarded the highest acting award - the Oscar in the nomination "for best male role", starting in 2007 he regularly for the same "male role", only now - the worst, gets only Golden Raspberries. What is the reason for this?
There is a merit of the directors in this, but, for the most part, everyone believes that in the wake of his bankruptcy (he ruined it, mainly divorce lawsuits), he became somehow "gray." In the end, well-known studios ceased to cooperate with him. Either afraid that his bankruptcy will somehow pass to them, or for other reasons. Although, what can I say, 6 Golden Raspberry awards did their dirty deed.
And although viewers still want to see the actor in the role of the lead actor in films, famous directors fundamentally disagree with this. And the once-famous American film actor has to take part in dubious projects that pull his fame lower and lower.
Adam Sandler
Another record holder for the number of Golden Raspberry awards. The audience and the film industry got the impression that although the American artist himself belongs to a cohort of producers and screenwriters, somewhere in the course of his acting career, Adam forgot that the actor on the screen should not only throw third-rate jokes and smile naively, but also and play. And therefore Sandler’s same behavior in every picture at some point simply disappointed both the audience and the staff of the film studios.
As the saying goes, man is the creator of his own destiny. And if you create it crookedly and not caring about the consequences, fate from this will only be a loser.
