Celebrity Careers That Melted With One Bad Movie

Who knows why these movies failed? Maybe a bad director? Maybe a new genre that the actor wasn’t familiar with?

Unfortunately, it wasn’t just the movies that went bust afterward. The actors took a blow too and some found it very hard to come back from while others disappeared entirely.

Son Of Mask

Jim Carrey was a tough act to follow when he starred in “The Mask”

Unfortunately “The Son of The Mask” was a disaster by comparison. Jamie Kennedy’s acting career took a huge blow when he starred in this flat scripted, terrible visual effect movie.

Batman & Robin

Chris O’Donnell was shooting to stardom especially with his Golden Globe Nominee. Then things took quite a turn.

He leaped at the opportunity to star in a superhero movie, who wouldn’t? But the “you’re in a comic book” approach to the movie made it hard for him to ever properly come back.

Gigli

Ben Affleck had just starred in two blockbuster hits – Good Will Hunting and Armageddon.

He starred with Jennifer Lopez, his girlfriend, in Gigli and the movie ended up bombing hard. It was the final straw that broke the camel’s back.

The Phantom Menace

Jake Lloyd’s young acting career looked promising when he acted alongside a Hollywood heavyweight like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

But die-hard fans would set unrealistic expectations for him when it came to portraying young Darth Vader. The script was unforgiving and so was most of the world, unfortunately.
