Interesting Reasons These 7 Actors Were Dumped By Hollywood

by Lakeisha

When you're a celebrity, whatever you say is understood in a million different ways. Some take it on a lighter note, others won't let it go.

Fame has become synonymous with success and happiness in modern times. People strive to achieve it for various reasons, such as gaining recognition, wealth, or social status.

However, becoming famous is no walk in the park. It requires a great deal of dedication, effort, and talent to attain the recognition that many celebrities have achieved.

Film stars, television personalities, and music icons are among the most well-known celebrities in the world. They have worked hard to establish themselves in their respective fields and have made a considerable impact on the industry.

Yet not all famous people choose to lead a life in the public eye. Some opt for a more secluded existence to protect their privacy and that of their families, while others may choose to step back from the limelight and focus on other things in life.

However, it's not everyone who leaves the public domain that does so of their own volition. There have been times when some celebrities had to leave the limelight after being blacklisted.

Here are seven actors who were forcefully booted out.

1. Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson has been known for his outspokenness and controversial remarks throughout his career. In 2006, Gibson got arrested for DUI, during which he reportedly made an insensitive comment about Jewish people, causing him to lose his fan base and career options.

Similarly, in 2010, he was caught on tape making racist and threatening comments, causing him to get blacklisted from the entertainment industry.

2. Brendan Fraser

Brendan Fraser believes his career decline was due to a meeting with Philip Berk, the former head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Fraser, in his memoir, recounts an inappropriate touching incident, describing it as the reason for his retreat from the limelight.

3. Shia Labeouf

Shia LaBeouf's breakthrough was his role as Sam Witwicky in Michael Bay's Transformers in 2007. Since then, he has taken on other film projects, including one with Brad Pitt.

However, the actor started behaving erratically as he recorded more success in the industry. Despite his troublesome reputation, Shia LaBeouf remains a highly sought-after actor.

4. Katherine Heigl

Katherine Heigl's career took off with her starring role in the hit TV show Grey's Anatomy, but her negative comments about the show got her fired.

Her reputation worsened when she criticized her movie, Knocked Up, making her one of the most disliked stars in Hollywood.

5. Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan became a star as a child actor in Disney films. However, as she matured into a teenage actress, Lohan became a controversial figure due to her frequent legal troubles and unprofessional behavior on set.

The CEO of Morgan Creek Productions even criticized her for her rude behavior while shooting for Georgia Rule.

6. Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes had a promising career as a young actress before encountering legal issues and substance abuse problems. As her struggles were increasingly made public, she had a series of breakdowns, and eventually, Hollywood studios stopped hiring her.

7. Bill Cosby

After several women came forward with accusations of assault against Bill Cosby, the highly respected actor's reputation plummeted. Cosby was convicted and received a 10-year prison sentence in 2018.

Well, it looks like life for celebrities isn’t a bed of roses. The lack of privacy and the scrutiny they’re exposed to make their life somewhat miserable.

Then again, just because you’re a celebrity doesn’t mean you can get away with everything and anything you say. That said, a celebrity’s life is constantly observed through an invisible magnifying glass.
