Each actor has a role that he is proud of. But there is another side of the coin - film projects that the stars would like to erase from their track record forever. We bring to your attention the anti-rating of the actors and their most disastrous roles, which undermined the stellar reputation of the artists.
Taylor Lautner - Leal in The Ridiculous Six (2015)
- "Eternal summer"
- Scream Queens
- "My personal enemy"
The success of the vampire saga "Twilight" inspired young Lautner. They began to offer him roles in various serials and feature films, to which he willingly agreed. However, not a single film with his participation became particularly popular. The fat point in his career was put by the project "Ridiculous Six", in which Taylor starred with Adam Sandler. After that, Lautner took part in a couple of films and decided to leave the cinema for good.
Vince Vaughn as Frank Simon in True Detective season 2 (2014)
- "For reasons of conscience"
- "Cell"
- "Into the wild"
Vince's participation in the cult series "True Detective" is a great example of the fact that you don't need to invite even very talented comedians for serious roles in detective stories. Critics agreed that no matter how hard Vaughn tried to look like an evil and serious gangster, the audience always got the feeling that now he would start to make the audience laugh.
Jim Carrey - Walter in Fatal 23 (2006)
- "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
- "Mask"
- "Chrismas story"
Jim has long proved to everyone that he is equally good at comedic and dramatic roles. But still, Kerry has a project in his filmography that can be considered a failure - this is the picture "The Fatal Number 23". Both critics and viewers agreed that Jim's performance in this film is like a funny parody, and that his participation in the film is a serious but fixable career mistake.
Robert De Niro - starring in The Grandfather of Easy Behavior (2015)
- "Godfather"
- "Military Diver"
- "Bronx Story"
Robert De Niro is a world-famous actor, and his participation in a particular film is a kind of quality mark. De Niro himself has repeatedly stated how important it is to choose the right projects in which you are filming. But over the years, something went wrong - first followed by several dubious comedies about the Focker family, in which Robert played an eccentric grandfather, and then completely starred in "The Grandfather of Easy virtue." The name of the picture speaks for itself, and fans of the actor hope that De Niro will no longer stage such experiments.
Alex Pettyfer - John in I Am Number Four (2011)
- Tom Brown's School Years
- "Butler"
- "City's legends"
The joint project of India and the United States "I am the fourth" can hardly be called successful, although the picture earned $ 149 million at the box office with a budget of $ 50 million. Nevertheless, critics smashed to smithereens both the film itself and Pettyfer's game. It is unlikely that Alex would like to remember after that about participating in this project.
Owen Wilson - Jack in No Exit (2014)
- Shanghai noon
- "Meet the parents"
- "Midnight in Paris"
The action movie No Exit was supposed to be a classic film for fans of the genre. But the creators of the project, as they say, put on the wrong horse, offering the main role to comedian Owen Wilson. According to critics, the actor did not cope with the task at all and finally buried himself as a dramatic actor.
Taylor Kitsch as Sean in Wanted (2012)
- "Case of the Brave"
- "Ordinary Heart"
- "The Tragedy at Waco"
The audience remembered Taylor primarily for his performance in the popular TV series Friday Night Lights. In 2012, Kitsch managed to star in one of the most successful and one of the most disastrous films in his film career. If everything is clear with the film "John Carter" - it was successful and received a huge number of positive reviews, then Oliver Stone's film "Wanted" did not even pay off at the box office. After this project, Taylor's career began to decline, and his name can be seen less and less on posters and in the credits.
Ben Affleck - Batman in Batman v Superman (2016)
- "Good Will Hunting"
- "Pearl Harbor"
- "Shakespeare in Love"
Affleck had bad roles before the ill-fated Batman. For example, participation in the failed project "Gigli", where Ben's partner was Angelina Jolie. Still, Batman can be considered the most disastrous moment in an actor's career. The video in which Affleck listens to the first negative reviews about the picture went viral. Over time, Internet craftsmen even made a meme about sad Ben out of him, and it seems that the actor would gladly remove this film from his filmography.
Lily Collins - Clary in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones
- "Invisible side"
- "Handsome, Bad, Ugly"
- "Love, Rosie"
Lily Collins was very lucky at the very beginning of her career - she was called to notoriously successful films, and among her film colleagues were such figures as Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock and Paul Bettany. But sooner or later, the actress had to get into a failed project. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones was originally conceived as the first installment in the franchise. The creators wanted to film six books of the Mortal Instruments series and hoped for success. But everything was so bad that the project was closed immediately after the release of the first part.
Nicole Kidman (Nicole Kidman) - the main role in the film "The Witch" (2005)
- "Big Little Lies"
- "Cold Mountain"
- "Others"
It is still not clear what Nicole was guided by when she accepted the invitation to participate in The Witch. Perhaps she was attracted by the opportunity to work with the excellent comedian Jim Carrey, but he turned down at the last moment. But if the actor got the instinct that the remake of the comedy series of the same name would be a failure, then Kidman let down his intuition. On release, "The Witch" turned out to be an unfunny comedy with a dubious plot, and the entire cast, including Nicole, received the well-deserved "Golden Raspberry".
Armie Hammer - John in The Lone Ranger (2013)
- "Social network"
- "By gender"
- "The Lost Chronicles of the Vietnam War"
Despite the fact that in addition to Hammer, the film starred such stars as Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and William Fichtner, the picture was called the loudest financial failure of all time. The entire cast have more than once regretted taking part in the western. As for Armie, after "The Lone Ranger" the directors did not invite him to their film projects for a couple of years.
Angelina Jolie - Eliza in The Tourist (2010)
- "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"
- Interrupted Life
- "Substitution"
Our anti-rating of actors with the most disastrous roles, which undermined their reputation, continues our anti-rating, Angelina Jolie and her heroine from "Tourist". Despite the fact that the film brought together a truly stellar cast, the picture, frankly, did not work out. Neither film critics nor viewers forgave the director and actors for the boredom that every shot of "Tourist" evokes. Many noted that the film is bad because even at the moment of relatively dynamic chases, one instinctively wants to yawn.
Brendan Fraser - Trevor Anderson in Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)
- "Blast from the Past"
- "Blinded by Desires"
- "Doom Patrol"
Many actors could envy the fame of Brendan Fraser in the late 90s. After the success of The Mummy and Blast from the Past, it would seem that nothing could push the actor off the Hollywood Olympus. This continued until 2008, when Fraser starred in several failed films in a row. In fact, Brendan was no longer offered the lead roles after taking part in Journey to the Center of the Earth. Now he increasingly plays cameo roles and starred in TV series.
Brad Pitt - starring in World War Z (2013)
- "Big jackpot"
- "Legends of Autumn"
- "Interview with a Vampire"
It seems that Pitt simply did not have time to read the script before agreeing to participate in an absolutely standard apocalyptic pseudo-horror movie about zombies. Critics agreed that this entirely cliché-based and cheap special-effects film did not completely flop just because of the name of Brad Pitt in the credits. But the fans of the actor probably had a lot of questions after they went to the "War of the Z" movie theaters in the hope of another masterpiece with their idol.
Jai Courtney as Kyle in Terminator Genisys (2015)
- "Spartacus: Blood and Sand"
- "Jack Reacher"
- "My friend Mr. Percival"
Jai's career was gaining momentum every year - he began to be called for the main roles, and the projects "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" and "Divergent" were enthusiastically received by film critics. But "Terminator Genisys" negatively affected Courtney's career - the film failed at the American box office, only the box office in the world saved it from complete collapse.
Julia Roberts - Maggie in Runaway Bride (1999)
- "Beautiful girl"
- Ocean's Eleven
- "Stepmother"
We must pay tribute to Julia - there are no paintings in her filmography that frankly ruined her reputation. She is very scrupulous about the choice of projects, but still participation in "Runaway Bride" raises many questions from film critics. After the film was released, Roberts admitted that she agreed to participate only in order to work at least once in a joint project with Richard Gere. In turn, director Garry Marshall didn't care much about the script, inspired by the success of Pretty Woman. As a result, the film even collected quite good box office receipts, but it became a passing one for its participants and viewers.
Hayden Christensen - Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002)
- "Narcosis"
- "I seduced Andy Warhol"
- "Virgins Suicide"
George Lucas took a long time to choose an actor for the role of Anakin Skywalker for the second episode of Star Wars, and eventually settled on Hayden. This role could have been a ticket to the best Hollywood projects, but, according to critics, Christensen did not cope with the responsibility entrusted to him. Taking part in the third episode of "Revenge of the Sith" cast an even greater shadow on Hayden's professional future, and now he is offered only supporting roles.
Gwyneth Paltrow - Rosemary in Love Is Evil (2001)
- "Iron Man"
- "Love and Other Disasters"
- "Seven"
The pass-through comedy "Love of Evil" was not initially positioned as a masterpiece of cinema - in the early 2000s, many such films were shot, designed for a teenage audience. What drove the Oscar-winning Gwyneth, who is famous in Hollywood for her ambitions, when she agreed to the role is unclear. Moreover, most of the time she had to be on the set in heavy makeup and costume. Perhaps Paltrow will never admit this fact, but this project with her participation is better to take and forget forever.
Brandon Routh - starring role in Superman Returns (2005)
- "Gilmore Girls"
- "Scott Pilgrim vs. All"
- "Lie to me"
Director Brian Singer envisioned Superman Returns as an epic project that would bring the iconic superhero back to the big screens. But the triumphant return did not happen - the picture received cool reviews, and Brandon's performance did not impress the audience. The actor began to rapidly lose popularity, and the failed project is still remembered to him.
Jennifer Aniston as Rose in We Are the Millers (2013)
- "Friends"
- "Marley and me"
- "The price of treason"
Jennifer Aniston concludes our anti-rating of the actors with the most disastrous roles, which undermined the reputation. 2012 and 2013 can be generally called a failure in the career of an actress. The fact is that by that time the star of "Friends" had managed to establish herself as an excellent comedic actress, but at the same time she starred in two low-standard comedies in a row. And if the fans perceived "Thirst for Wandering" as an accident, then the role in "We are the Millers" became "the icing on the cake." The humor below the belt, the lack of a good script and controversial scenes with Aniston's participation greatly tarnished the actress's reputation.
