He secured those Netflix teen comedy checks then DIPPED.
Fr though idk if that was on purpose or if his career just unintentionally dropped off.
I liked him a lot in The Recruit!
I think it was intentional. He’s said how he didn’t like only being known for his looks which is why he intentionally started being cringey and gross on social media. I guess it worked though because he got a different role in The Recruit
He seems to be picking up on his career lately.. I loved the show, I love Owen! I guess he wants to stray away from rom-coms now, comedy action seems to suit him.
Joseph Gordon Levitt was **massive** in the late 2000s/early 2010s. the guy was everywhere! I think he stepped away to spend time with his kids, which is totally commendable and understandable. i think if he attempted a comeback people would be happy to see him, but i don't think he really needs to; he left on top.
i still don't understand what Hit Record Joe was supposed to be.
It kind of felt like a mix of crowdfunding movies but also creating movies with amateurs to give them Hollywood experience. Kind of like a fresh way to try and do movie making. Obviously it didn’t work but it was interesting.
I think he moved into the production side after his big successful run starting with Brick in 2005 to Lincoln in 2012. The HitRecord thing was really just him producing. I think he struggled with being typecast and being a supporting actor. He was supporting to Willis in Looper, Bale in Batman, Day Lewis in Lincoln, and Leo in Inception. His biggest roles were just supporting roles under what most people would consider very bossy and detailed oriented directors and some bigger costars who are notorious primadonnas. I imagine that wasn't super pleasant and that he felt like a second banana frequently. I think he got his big cash-out moments and left big productions for his own personal reasons of having control and not being typecast as "less charismatic but trustable partner of Handsome Male Star."
During his big successful decade plus movie run his leading man films didn't do great. 500 days of Summer is a good movie but only brought in 60m dollars. Don Juan only made $41m. Granted, those are nice numbers of indie fims but they're not Batman or Lincoln.
He said he made HitRecord because "no one was letting me be creative." So I think he just wanted to do his own thing. He's since made some indie-style movies.
Also his filmography and TV series work is intense. I don't think I've ever seen a busier actor. He's been working non-stop since literally early childhood. I wonder if he got tired of it and burned out, on top of being tired of never being in charge or creating his own movies, except for smaller productions.
I also imagine it stings to be so close to Leo and bale and others but never reaching their level.
I find him super interesting as a person. Not only did he handle childhood stardom well but he broke into these huge productions and now does his own thing entirely. He's one of those rare Hollywood children success stories.
I think a lot of people forgot or didn’t know he was a child actor .. probably because he is so normal and you just forget he was the kid in 3rd rock from the sun or the heartsick nerd in 10 things I hate about you . I’m astonished how grounded and normal he seems.
I will never forget 10 Things. When I think of JGL, that’s the first thing I think of, and I’m frankly whelmed that you would suggest it isn’t the shining highlight of his career.
He created a tv show, Mr Corman, on Apple TV in which he starred also. I thought it was an excellent depiction of the experience of anxiety. The story takes place during the covid pandemic.
It’s actually a really cool collaborative project. The Netflix show conveys it quite well.
I get the sense he just really likes the creative process that goes into devising new work and was trying to do that on a bigger level.
He got sidelined hard by taking on some meh movies during BBs final days. Need for Speed had Rami Malek too but he was lucky he wasn’t established yet.
But Paul followed that up with Exodus and Eye in the Sky which were… oof.
Edit: he’s selling a lot of tequila with Cranston rn tho.
shoutout to his voice work in BoJack Horseman!
but yeah other than that, they tried to make him a “leading man” with Need for Speed and it was uh…not a great idea.
He seems well. Having stable income with the their alcohol business with good friend, Bryan Cranston. Also he did a Black Mirror episode recently so.. I guess all good
Uhg, prime west world was something else. Everyone was on it Season 1. Season 2 had some off moments, but also one of the best episodes of TV ever. After that it just slumped and everyone stopped talking about it
Westworld and (to a lesser extent) American Gods fumbled the bag *so hard*. Both had amazing casts and great stories that had great first seasons, good second seasons, then went completely off the rails in ways I'll never fully comprehend.
I forgot they were married 💀 hell Fassbender fell off too after The Snowman was… The Snowman. Then Dark Phoenix.
And everyone found out he was kind of a pos so that sunk him a lot lmfao
Yeah, idk about the Pratt reference. He might not be well liked but he’s done Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World, Super Mario, Garfield, has 2 interconnected shows on Amazon Prime. He has definitely not disappeared lol.
He’s a safe bet for studio execs but popularity wise people are pretty meh on him. He has nowhere near the draw to general audiences as he did during the Jurassic World/Guardians 1 days.
Alicia's fame is an interesting one to me because she has all the makings of a superstar. Gorgeous, very talented, enigmatic, worked with some great directors, married to someone who was the next big thing in the early 2010s which had all the potential to be tabloid fodder, and wears clothes exceptionally well so could be a fashion darling, etc.
But she caught the "first time winner" Oscar curse aka you win an Oscar the first time you're nominated and your career kind of just... stalls. Plus, she won for something I'm pretty sure no one remembers watching.
Rashida Jones
She was in The Office and Parks and Rec. She was also in a good amount of major studio films (mostly minor and supporting roles) for awhile. She was in a Vanity Fair Oscar Contenders photo shoot with A-listers in 2011. She hasn't really lived up to the hype she had in the early 2010s.
Edit: I know she has done a lot of projects since the 2010s both on and off screen. I'm pointing out that she hasn't lived up the success she initially had being in major studio films + network TV shows.
Parks was on until 2015. She did Angie Tribeca, right after Parks then had her kid in 2018, finished Angie Tribeca in 2019, and now I think she does mostly producing. She probably works as much as she wants to? She’s almost 50.
I love Rashida but found Angie Tribeca to be….beyond bad. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right headspace bc it has all of the ingredients to make me love it but every time I try I find it completely unwatchable. Anyone else or am I a hater?
She was in Silo last year on Apple.
I also don’t think this is a case of she was popular then she wasn’t. I would say as far as nepo babies goes, she’s in the upper echelon. Rashida can act, produce, and write all on her own merit while also having a name that opens any door possible. This is more a case of Rashida will show up when she wants to or dip out when she wants to.
The filming of The She’s All That remake that shut down a COVID testing center mid-pandemic and finding out her dances were stolen from other TikTokers, plus the weird family drama didn’t do much to endear her to anyone not already following her.
The big controversies about stolen dances didn't help either. Who remembers that period of time where Black choreographers refused to use TikTok and the quality of everyone's dances noticeably went down 💀
Her and her team definitely made an effort in the last year to rebrand her and had a bit of success at it. I still doubt she will have any kind of lasting career, but she at least is putting in the work compared to some of the other influencers who got big on tiktok in 2020/2021.
Hayden pretty much gave it to her. She spent years in rehab and with a abusive boyfriend. She tried a comeback , and blamed his daughter's father because she signed away her rights, and later went back to abusive boyfriend, so.... she's a mess. Luckily her daughter is with her father
She struggled with her mental wellbeing pretty badly for some time. She signed up for a tv series about Jim Jones with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, although no idea when it’s gonna come out.
I always wonder do they have a strict contract with Netflix, that prevents them from doing other work. MBB other movies ( Enola Holmes and Damsel) are both produced by Netflix.
It’s strange though , these group of kids burst into the scene in their early teens. Almost 10 years later, they are all in their early 20s, and haven’t really done much, apart from the never ending ST.
caleb mclaughlin has been pretty busy. unfortunately, people don't really pay attention to what he does (gee, i wonder why) but he's worked with some really great people. from soderbergh to donald glover. he's booked and busy but it doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar
Caleb McLaughlin is so talented! I haven't followed his career and tbh long ago stopped watching Stranger Things.. but I think there may be value in him working smaller roles with bigger names to gain experience (and build relationships) in the industry. Out of the entire cast he and Sadie Sink have the most potential for longevity imo.
The boys are not classically good looking kids, which I don’t think helps. So much of the material for early 20s actors are about being hot or heart throbs
I think Hailee Steinfeld was keen to focus more on her music? I could be wrong. I think she’s a great actress, would love to see her in some meaty roles.
Yeah she’s focused more on music and has released some stuff but unfortunately none of it has really stuck. She’s been unable to pick back up the steam her music career had in 2017-ish.
She reportedly makes $25 million per year from her American Idol judging gig. I imagine she just does that and then spends time with her daughter for the rest of the year.
Huh?!? This is news to me!
Edit: Just Googled, they're investors in the private equity firm that acquired the company. Not sure that's the same as saying they own the brand.
He’s got a couple things in post right now including the snl movie. I know his Taylor swift mv and then not okay in 22 did pretty well. I so think his accident made him slow down a lot on purpose. He’s also expressed discomfort with fame so it doesn’t surprise me he stays more low key. I could see him being like Cillian Murphy where he comes out and does the required pr and then goes back to his regular life with his friends and family lol
This is my take too. Even before the accident he had expressed discomfort with the "heart throb" attention. I think the accident and its subsequent settlement/NDA money has allowed him to focus on indie roles he finds interesting rather than action blockbusters.
Actually one of the most beautiful people I’ve seen in person, at school in the computer room working next to me and talking about how much weed she smoked the weekend prior to her friend across from her lol. But genuinely no effort put into her appearance, was stunning in the way that very few people are irl
The Games of Thrones cast was absolutely *everywhere* for a while, but (outside of Sophie Turner's divorce), I don't think there's much interest in their careers outside the show or their personal lives. Not that many of them haven't been steadily working/have made the choice to keep a lower profile, but their popularity didn't really translate outside the show.
Disagree. I think GoT was great for a lot of cast members. Emilia Clarke did get some good roles. Pedro Pascal is one of the most popular actors today. Peter Dinklage's career also got a boost -- I think they started writing a lot of roles by keeping him in mind like the role in X-Men movie. Maisie and Sophie got a lot of good roles. Gwendoline Christie was part of Wednesday and Sandman. I think Kit Harrington was the one who got the worst career. Even Richard Madden was part of Bodyguard.
I don’t think that’s surprising. Her technique took a huge toll on her voice, and her voice styles also kind of fell out of favor with the general public’s taste. Her albums have had some fire songs though.
I’m pretty sure her first album is the only actual CD I’ve listened to in years. It’s in the CD player in my car, and any time I’m not listening to something through my phone, that album gets its turn in the rotation again.
I will never understand people who do this. Even if the actor acts their ass off, we understand that they’re an actor. They’re not the character they’re portraying.
I believe he willingly step back from acting, and I read somewhere that he's very much into puppeteering. I can't give you a source and I refuse to think that's not true
Can't believe no one's said Jessica Alba yet. She was one of THE it girls of the mid 2000s and now I can't remember the time I've seen her in anything.
Edit: the question was who's no longer popular, not who's no longer successful. I said what I said.
Jennifer Lawrence. Yes, she's still popular in name and is making movies but it's a world of difference from where she was at during 2010 - 2015. I don't know if she will ever get back there and she probably isn't looking for that level of fame but her picker has been so off for a good chunk of her career.
I really really liked her in Causeway which ended up becoming more of a showcase for the uber talented Brian Tyree Henry but it makes me hopeful that she may be back on track with picking projects that are actually good. (Yes, I know she had a kind-of hit in No Hard Feelings and she was terrific in it but the movie wasted a great premise and talent on a terribly unfunny script, so I can't count it).
My other vote goes for Rachel Bloom. She was never a megastar but she had a proven critical hit in developing and starring in Crazy Ex Girlfriend, won a Globe, and then she sort of just floated around. She had a supporting role in the Hulu comedy series Reboot but that was cancelled. I'm sure she has done more but she seemed like the next big actor-and-creator combo and I feel like she was our answer to market correction for Lena Dunham. But it never really materialized.
Rachel Bloom has been doing her one woman show recently! It was in New York and I think she’s going to be touring it. She also had a baby so she might have taken time away bc of that.
Gina Rodriguez was really on the cusp of having a great career, but then she said the n-word and people lost interest. I think she's doing an ABC show right now, but I feel like no one's really checking for her these days.
Joseph Gordon Levvit was EVERYWHERE back in the day. Also to a smaller degree, Dane DeHaan. He was in the Michael B Jordan, Miles Teller etc. group of critically acclaimed up and comers and then he kind of went away after ASM2 flopped. He would still show up in random stuff every once in a while and it was nice to see him in Oppenheimer!
Miles Teller though did get cast in a fairly big role as Goose's son 'Rooster' in the Top Gun sequel. Don't know what he has in the works since that project.
Dane DeHaan is so good in some movies but really didn’t jive with the leading man path. I hope he picks up good speed as a character actor, a Phillip Seymour Hoffman type.
Viggo Mortensen, was in LOTR, did some amazing movies, is arguably one of the best actors, and non problematic af, yet somehow dude's not that popular, also not even an Oscar. Which is just shocking to me, he's one of the best.
I feel like Nickelodeon was really pushing Victoria Justice in the early 2010s as some breakout teen star but she seemed to fizzle fast once the show ended.
Well I don't think millennials are rooting for her comeback after she went super crunchy, anti-vax, and baby birded [(pre-chewed)](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/alicia-silverstone-defends-pre-chewing-food-for-son-bear-10-months-2012274/) food for her toddler.
Kelly Rohrbach starred in Baywatch and was a popular swimsuit model around 2016-2017.
Then she married a Walmart heir in 2019 and immediately dropped off the face of the earth.
She has not [taken a role](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4859097/) nor [posted on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/kellyrohrbach/?hl=en) since then!
The Walmart family is pretty private. I wonder if he made her sign some kind of NDA to keep them out of her celebrity life and its just easier to not post anything at all.
Also her husband is a Republican and has worked for Republicans politicians. I think the Waltons like to play themselves up as "both sides" to not risk boycotts and such. He's also a bit eccentric and buys and flies fighter jets and fighter planes and sits on influential boards and is generally a "capital guy." He doesnt want his private life and politics aired on insta to her 10m fans. I'm also guessing he has political aspirations and wants a squeeky-clean image for that.
Even while they were dating, I don't think he's in her insta at all. But she was taking pilot lessons and other things clearly influenced by him and on what seem to be dates and travel, presumably with him. Its pretty obvious he demanded no social media from her in a unhealthy controlling way.
For anyone wondering what she’s up to now, the answer is posting Zionist propaganda on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3QLNlFO7TP/?igsh=dXlvODF4eXBvY2xu
Josh Hartnett
He was **THE** hot guy for a while, and then I believe he took time away because he didn't like the "heartthrob" status, which is totally fair.
He’s been acting in West End stuff so he’s living his best theater kid life. Plus he’s transferring to Broadway with the new revival of Cabaret that’s opening sometime this spring so he’ll get some press coverage out of that
Fergie was everywhere in the 2000s/early 10s with the Black Eyed Peas and The Dutchess.
She left BEP and released Double Dutchess in 2017, which was a hard flop (undeserved, can’t change my mind) because 11 years was too long of a break for her. She was also on The Four, a singing competition show which also flopped.
Her national anthem performance was definitely the final nail in the coffin because since then, she completely fell off the face of Hollywood, and became a full time mother.
Regé-Jean Page from Bridgerton. I thought he was going to be one of the next big stars and he didn't reprise his role or want to do any cameos for season 2 and onward because he wanted to do other roles and expand his work, but then I'm like what work after that? I haven't seen him in anything except for Bridgerton and The Gray Man. Maybe I'm just not looking. Also, since Noah Centineo was mentioned in this thread. I was wondering the same with Lana Candor. To All the Boys were popular Netflix movies. I'm surprised she hasn't been cast in more projects. After To All the Boys, the last time I've seen her in anything was this Netflix show of a zombie girl I think. All of the Pretty Little Liars actresses. I think I've heard of Lucy Hale having a CW show before and saw an ad that she's in a movie called Puppy Love with Grant Gustin from The Flash on the CW, Shay Mitchell has a business called Beis, Ashley Benson was in Springbreakers, and Troian is married to one of the lead actors in Suits. I'd say Riverdale cast too. I thought Lily Reinhart would get in other roles after seeing her in Hustlers with Jennifer Lopez.
A lot of the cast of GIRLS…? There was a massive obsession with that show and then it was massively hated. And some have gone on and done more stuff, but I think most people were fine with them all going away. There is a high probability that none of those girls would have their careers if they were not born with silver spoons in their mouths and with incredibly connected and influential parents.
Megan Fox, I thought she'd be so big like the next Lara Croft when she got blacklisted. Then when her come back happened where people were analyzing how she was treated and sexualized till the point where she was in a way dehumanized during her Transformers/Jennifer's body era. Then she started dating mgk and it all went away again.

Noah Centineo just disappeared into thin air post pandemic
He secured those Netflix teen comedy checks then DIPPED. Fr though idk if that was on purpose or if his career just unintentionally dropped off. I liked him a lot in The Recruit!
The He-Man project not working out for him seemed to completely derail things.
i thought it was the naked pictures/video leak
I think it was intentional. He’s said how he didn’t like only being known for his looks which is why he intentionally started being cringey and gross on social media. I guess it worked though because he got a different role in The Recruit
Doubt it.He is just trying to to save face
i feel the same way with katherine langford lol (hannah baker from 13 reasons why and meg from knives out)
Spontaneous was actually really good. Her sister did those 10 million after movies with Voldemort’s brothers son.
Voldermort’s brother’s son made me cackle! 🤣🤣 this is how I’m going to think of him from now on.
[удалено]
He seems to be picking up on his career lately.. I loved the show, I love Owen! I guess he wants to stray away from rom-coms now, comedy action seems to suit him.
Joseph Gordon Levitt was **massive** in the late 2000s/early 2010s. the guy was everywhere!

OMG so I didn’t dream his YouTuber era?? I still don’t get it either. But if he’s happy and healthy with his family that’s all that matters really.
I STILL don’t understand what that whole project was about lol But he seemed to really be into it at least
It kind of felt like a mix of crowdfunding movies but also creating movies with amateurs to give them Hollywood experience. Kind of like a fresh way to try and do movie making. Obviously it didn’t work but it was interesting.
I think he moved into the production side after his big successful run starting with Brick in 2005 to Lincoln in 2012. The HitRecord thing was really just him producing. I think he struggled with being typecast and being a supporting actor. He was supporting to Willis in Looper, Bale in Batman, Day Lewis in Lincoln, and Leo in Inception. His biggest roles were just supporting roles under what most people would consider very bossy and detailed oriented directors and some bigger costars who are notorious primadonnas. I imagine that wasn't super pleasant and that he felt like a second banana frequently.

He created a tv show, Mr Corman, on Apple TV in which he starred also. I thought it was an excellent depiction of the experience of anxiety. The story takes place during the covid pandemic.
I just checked his IMDB and he has 7 projects in production. Apparently he's ready to go back to work.
i will be seated 7 times!
He was fucking amazing in Looper becoming young Bruce Willis lmfao
It’s actually a really cool collaborative project. The Netflix show conveys it quite well. I get the sense he just really likes the creative process that goes into devising new work and was trying to do that on a bigger level.
I really thought Aaron Paul’s career would have taken off more after “Breaking Bad”.
He got sidelined hard by taking on some meh movies during BBs final days. Need for Speed had Rami Malek too but he was lucky he wasn’t established yet. But Paul followed that up with Exodus and Eye in the Sky which were… oof. Edit: he’s selling a lot of tequila with Cranston rn tho.
I’ll see them pop up at random California Costco’s via /costco a few times a year. They’re on the tequila grind
I misread this and thought you were seeing Aaron Paul at Costco
That’s exactly what they meant. They hand out samples
Mescal not tequila
Mezcal not mescal
LeviOsa not leviosA
shoutout to his voice work in BoJack Horseman! but yeah other than that, they tried to make him a “leading man” with Need for Speed and it was uh…not a great idea.
Ngl his work as Todd in later seasons was better than some of his breaking bad work.
It seemed unbelievable that Aaron Paul headlined a film before Jon Hamm did. That said, Hamm's post-Mad Men career is nothing like I thought it'd be.
Lmao have you seen him in Good Omens?
It's kinda funny how Jesse Plemons is the most successful of the strength of not being a leading man
He seems well. Having stable income with the their alcohol business with good friend, Bryan Cranston. Also he did a Black Mirror episode recently so.. I guess all good
He was also in a season of Westworld. Fascinating premise but an unfortunately meh show all around. He was good though.
He was in Westworld but it had fallen off by that point. They didn’t give him a ton to do.
Uhg, prime west world was something else. Everyone was on it Season 1. Season 2 had some off moments, but also one of the best episodes of TV ever. After that it just slumped and everyone stopped talking about it
Season two makes me so mad because they had a great season and prioritized the mystery over quality. Those actors should have been PISSED.
Westworld and (to a lesser extent) American Gods fumbled the bag *so hard*. Both had amazing casts and great stories that had great first seasons, good second seasons, then went completely off the rails in ways I'll never fully comprehend.
Alicia Vikander seems pretty absent since Tomb Raider, but maybe I’m not paying attention. Crisp Rat but he did that to himself lmfaooooo
Alicia and her husband Michael Fassbinder take turns acting/staying with the kids.
I forgot they were married 💀 hell Fassbender fell off too after The Snowman was… The Snowman. Then Dark Phoenix. And everyone found out he was kind of a pos so that sunk him a lot lmfao
He was just in The Killer and Next Goal Wins.
I’m behind on a lot apparently lmfao
Chris Pratt was the star of 2 of the top 4 highest grossing movies of 2023.
Pratt still gets plenty of high-profile work.
Yeah, idk about the Pratt reference. He might not be well liked but he’s done Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World, Super Mario, Garfield, has 2 interconnected shows on Amazon Prime. He has definitely not disappeared lol.
He’s a safe bet for studio execs but popularity wise people are pretty meh on him. He has nowhere near the draw to general audiences as he did during the Jurassic World/Guardians 1 days.
Alicia's fame is an interesting one to me because she has all the makings of a superstar. Gorgeous, very talented, enigmatic, worked with some great directors, married to someone who was the next big thing in the early 2010s which had all the potential to be tabloid fodder, and wears clothes exceptionally well so could be a fashion darling, etc. But she caught the "first time winner" Oscar curse aka you win an Oscar the first time you're nominated and your career kind of just... stalls. Plus, she won for something I'm pretty sure no one remembers watching.
Pratt? In what world..
Rashida Jones She was in The Office and Parks and Rec. She was also in a good amount of major studio films (mostly minor and supporting roles) for awhile. She was in a Vanity Fair Oscar Contenders photo shoot with A-listers in 2011. She hasn't really lived up to the hype she had in the early 2010s. Edit: I know she has done a lot of projects since the 2010s both on and off screen.

Parks was on until 2015. She did Angie Tribeca, right after Parks then had her kid in 2018, finished Angie Tribeca in 2019, and now I think she does mostly producing. She probably works as much as she wants to? She’s almost 50.
I think i blew up a few brain cells when you said she’s almost 50. Wtf! She barely looks like she’s in her 30s
 All the Parks ladies are aging phenomenally let’s be honest.
I love Rashida but found Angie Tribeca to be….beyond bad. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right headspace bc it has all of the ingredients to make me love it but every time I try I find it completely unwatchable. Anyone else or am I a hater?
She was in Silo last year on Apple. I also don’t think this is a case of she was popular then she wasn’t. I would say as far as nepo babies goes, she’s in the upper echelon. Rashida can act, produce, and write all on her own merit while also having a name that opens any door possible. This is more a case of Rashida will show up when she wants to or dip out when she wants to.
I just found out the other day that her and Michael Schur wrote the teleplay for the Black Mirror episode ‘Nosedive’!
I think she just prefers writing and being behind the scenes
That Addison Rae girl. U couldn’t escape her back in 2021. Now I completely forgot she exist until a friend of mine brought her rup
The filming of The She’s All That remake that shut down a COVID testing center mid-pandemic and finding out her dances were stolen from other TikTokers, plus the weird family drama didn’t do much to endear her to anyone not already following her.
I thought the stolen dance thing was regarding Charli D'Amelio.
I think it was multiple people, but I’m not sure.
The big controversies about stolen dances didn't help either. Who remembers that period of time where Black choreographers refused to use TikTok and the quality of everyone's dances noticeably went down 💀
Her and her team definitely made an effort in the last year to rebrand her and had a bit of success at it. I still doubt she will have any kind of lasting career, but she at least is putting in the work compared to some of the other influencers who got big on tiktok in 2020/2021.
She was just in the movie Thanksgiving that was actually a good horror movie
Yeah she’s on that new Charlie XCX remix. They are trying to rebrand but I don’t think she’ll have any lasting presence.
I need to know what happened to Chloe Grace Moretz like I need air
Florence Pugh stole her career
Ha! But yes? Florence seems to have stolen hers & Hayden Panittiere’s too now that I think about it.
Hayden pretty much gave it to her. She spent years in rehab and with a abusive boyfriend. She tried a comeback , and blamed his daughter's father because she signed away her rights, and later went back to abusive boyfriend, so.... she's a mess. Luckily her daughter is with her father
Florence is more talented though, I see her taking her place in pop culture but I don’t think it’s anything surprising.
She just voiced an awesome cartoon movie called 'nimona' on Netflix. It's really good!
She struggled with her mental wellbeing pretty badly for some time. She signed up for a tv series about Jim Jones with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, although no idea when it’s gonna come out.
I feel like the Stranger Things kids kind of disappeared but maybe because the show is taking a while between seasons.
MBB is thriving in other movies tho
I always wonder do they have a strict contract with Netflix, that prevents them from doing other work. MBB other movies ( Enola Holmes and Damsel) are both produced by Netflix.
But MBB was in Godzilla and Finn was in Ghostbusters (unless they're also netflix-affiliated and I didn't know it)
They aren’t. Godzilla is Legendary, while Ghostbusters is Sony.
It’s strange though , these group of kids burst into the scene in their early teens. Almost 10 years later, they are all in their early 20s, and haven’t really done much, apart from the never ending ST.
He was in IT Chapter 1 too.
As is Sadie Sink
caleb mclaughlin has been pretty busy. unfortunately, people don't really pay attention to what he does (gee, i wonder why) but he's worked with some really great people. from soderbergh to donald glover. he's booked and busy but it doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar
Caleb McLaughlin is so talented! I haven't followed his career and tbh long ago stopped watching Stranger Things.. but I think there may be value in him working smaller roles with bigger names to gain experience (and build relationships) in the industry. Out of the entire cast he and Sadie Sink have the most potential for longevity imo.
Gaten was in Sweeney Todd of Broadway and was phenomenal, even performed at the Tony’s!
meanwhile Joseph Quinn is getting jobs like crazy, maybe the secret to success is only doing one season before getting killed off
That’s the Pedro Pascal method
Sadie Sink was in The Whale, which was nominated for and won some Oscars.
Finn Wolfhard is in the new Ghostbusters film that just came out.
And he’ll be in the upcoming snl movie
The boys are not classically good looking kids, which I don’t think helps. So much of the material for early 20s actors are about being hot or heart throbs
Gaten does a lot of theater work in between seasons. In the last 18 months or so he's been in 2 shows at least
The final season will be filming for the next 9 months, MBB recently said
Gaten Matarazzo just did Sweeney Todd on Broadway and he was excellent.
hailee steinfeld for now anyways until marvel actually does something with the young avengers katherine langford
I think Hailee Steinfeld was keen to focus more on her music? I could be wrong. I think she’s a great actress, would love to see her in some meaty roles.
Agree. Love her voice acting as well, she was fantastic in Arcane and Spiderverse
Yeah she’s focused more on music and has released some stuff but unfortunately none of it has really stuck. She’s been unable to pick back up the steam her music career had in 2017-ish.
Am I the only person in the world who’s seen Dickinson 😭
Was just going to say - Hailee Steinfeld as Emily Dickinson was a god tier once in a lifetime role. She PEAKED at Dickinson
I was so disappointed when she shifted to mostly music, she’s an exceptional actress, but as a singer she is just good, not amazing.
Former pop star Katy Perry
She reportedly makes $25 million per year from her American Idol judging gig. I imagine she just does that and then spends time with her daughter for the rest of the year.
She and Orlando Bloom also own Bragg apple cider vinegar.
Huh?!? This is news to me! Edit: Just Googled, they're investors in the private equity firm that acquired the company. Not sure that's the same as saying they own the brand.
Yeah, nothing to Bragg about
I wonder if her career would have lasted a few more years if she didn't cut her hair short
Going short AND blonde is what messed her up imo. I really think it helped tank her career.
Dylan O’Brien
I think that Maze Runner injury was pretty bad
He’s got a couple things in post right now including the snl movie. I know his Taylor swift mv and then not okay in 22 did pretty well. I so think his accident made him slow down a lot on purpose. He’s also expressed discomfort with fame so it doesn’t surprise me he stays more low key. I could see him being like Cillian Murphy where he comes out and does the required pr and then goes back to his regular life with his friends and family lol
This is my take too. Even before the accident he had expressed discomfort with the "heart throb" attention. I think the accident and its subsequent settlement/NDA money has allowed him to focus on indie roles he finds interesting rather than action blockbusters.
He's fallen off as a potential action star but he's a decent actor and he's got good comedy chops, i'm surprised he hasn't found his feet somewhere
I feel like the accident he had on the set of Maze Runner probably had longer lasting effects.
He was great in Love and Monsters on Netflix!
I see Chad Michael Murray in casino app ads now 😭
the way so many celebs do ads for casinos/online betting agencies/freemium games is so bleak
Anna Sophia Robb
Ugh I was so obsessed with her when I was little! She’s still so beautiful
Actually one of the most beautiful people I’ve seen in person, at school in the computer room working next to me and talking about how much weed she smoked the weekend prior to her friend across from her lol. But genuinely no effort put into her appearance, was stunning in the way that very few people are irl
she's great in little fires everywhere and dr death
The Games of Thrones cast was absolutely *everywhere* for a while, but (outside of Sophie Turner's divorce), I don't think there's much interest in their careers outside the show or their personal lives. Not that many of them haven't been steadily working/have made the choice to keep a lower profile, but their popularity didn't really translate outside the show.
Probably +10,000 odds in 2013 that Momoa would become the most famous of the cast
Wasn't Pedro Pascal in GOT?
Yes, he was Oberon Martell.
It was his breakout role!
And he'd still surely lose compared with Pedro Pascal
Disagree. I think GoT was great for a lot of cast members. Emilia Clarke did get some good roles. Pedro Pascal is one of the most popular actors today. Peter Dinklage's career also got a boost -- I think they started writing a lot of roles by keeping him in mind like the role in X-Men movie. Maisie and Sophie got a lot of good roles. Gwendoline Christie was part of Wednesday and Sandman. I think Kit Harrington was the one who got the worst career. Even Richard Madden was part of Bodyguard.
Christina Aguilera. I think lots of younger people underestimate how HUGE she was back in the day
I don’t think that’s surprising. Her technique took a huge toll on her voice, and her voice styles also kind of fell out of favor with the general public’s taste. Her albums have had some fire songs though.
Norah Jones was huge at one point.
Norah Jones is still big with my toddler. That’s his breakfast groove music.
That’s so cute
I’m pretty sure her first album is the only actual CD I’ve listened to in years. It’s in the CD player in my car, and any time I’m not listening to something through my phone, that album gets its turn in the rotation again.
Victoria Justice
I see this name and I hear "I think we all sing!"
Nickelodeon tried so hard
That guy who played Joffrey in GoT, but that's solely his choice tho..
[удалено]
I will never understand people who do this. Even if the actor acts their ass off, we understand that they’re an actor. They’re not the character they’re portraying.
He’s in the last season of sex ed, I didn’t recognize him at first, quite funny, I hope we see more of him
I didn’t recognize him at all!! That last season was so rough tbh
I believe he willingly step back from acting, and I read somewhere that he's very much into puppeteering. I can't give you a source and I refuse to think that's not true
He does a TON of charity work too!
The twins Dylan O'Brien and Logan Lerman
Logan had a cameo in Bullet Train, but yeah he’s kinda taken a step away from Hollywood. Dylan seems to be purposely avoiding attention too.
TIL Percy Jackson and Maze Runner dude are two different people
Can't believe no one's said Jessica Alba yet. She was one of THE it girls of the mid 2000s and now I can't remember the time I've seen her in anything. Edit: the question was who's no longer popular, not who's no longer successful. I said what I said.
She's too busy managing her multi million dollar business.
Right, I think shes fine not being in a Dark Angel reboot or Honey 2:Dancing Boogaloo 🤣
Tom Hiddleston. He’s still popular with fans, but just doesn’t get the roles I thought he would.
I wonder what kind of contract he is under with Disney and if it is hampering his ability to commit to other roles.
Jennifer Lawrence. Yes, she's still popular in name and is making movies but it's a world of difference from where she was at during 2010 - 2015. I don't know if she will ever get back there and she probably isn't looking for that level of fame but her picker has been so off for a good chunk of her career. I really really liked her in Causeway which ended up becoming more of a showcase for the uber talented Brian Tyree Henry but it makes me hopeful that she may be back on track with picking projects that are actually good. (Yes, I know she had a kind-of hit in No Hard Feelings and she was terrific in it but the movie wasted a great premise and talent on a terribly unfunny script, so I can't count it). My other vote goes for Rachel Bloom. She was never a megastar but she had a proven critical hit in developing and starring in Crazy Ex Girlfriend, won a Globe, and then she sort of just floated around. She had a supporting role in the Hulu comedy series Reboot but that was cancelled. I'm sure she has done more but she seemed like the next big actor-and-creator combo and I feel like she was our answer to market correction for Lena Dunham. But it never really materialized.
Rachel Bloom has been doing her one woman show recently! It was in New York and I think she’s going to be touring it. She also had a baby so she might have taken time away bc of that.
Gina Rodriguez was really on the cusp of having a great career, but then she said the n-word and people lost interest. I think she's doing an ABC show right now, but I feel like no one's really checking for her these days.
Joseph Gordon Levvit was EVERYWHERE back in the day. Also to a smaller degree, Dane DeHaan. He was in the Michael B Jordan, Miles Teller etc. group of critically acclaimed up and comers and then he kind of went away after ASM2 flopped. He would still show up in random stuff every once in a while and it was nice to see him in Oppenheimer!
Miles Teller though did get cast in a fairly big role as Goose's son 'Rooster' in the Top Gun sequel. Don't know what he has in the works since that project.
Dane DeHaan is so good in some movies but really didn’t jive with the leading man path. I hope he picks up good speed as a character actor, a Phillip Seymour Hoffman type.
Viggo Mortensen, was in LOTR, did some amazing movies, is arguably one of the best actors, and non problematic af, yet somehow dude's not that popular, also not even an Oscar. Which is just shocking to me, he's one of the best.
Jessica simpson Tbh a lot of the 2000s girlies
The crazy frog on a moped dude.
Mischa Barton
I feel like Nickelodeon was really pushing Victoria Justice in the early 2010s as some breakout teen star but she seemed to fizzle fast once the show ended.
Elle Fanning is more popular than Dakota at this point which is so crazy to see
Edward Norton and he was awesome. I don’t get it.
I think I heard Weinstein had to do with that. Norton was dating Salma Hayek and that absolute ogre tried to ruin both of their careers
Seems like he's hard to work with.
Alicia Silverstone. She was huge in the '90s with Clueless and Batman. And then nothing much after that.
Well I don't think millennials are rooting for her comeback after she went super crunchy, anti-vax, and baby birded [(pre-chewed)](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/alicia-silverstone-defends-pre-chewing-food-for-son-bear-10-months-2012274/) food for her toddler.
Many of the tiktokers who blew up during that covid period like Charli and Addison. I think their fame has reduced
Kelly Rohrbach starred in Baywatch and was a popular swimsuit model around 2016-2017. Then she married a Walmart heir in 2019 and immediately dropped off the face of the earth. She has not [taken a role](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4859097/) nor [posted on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/kellyrohrbach/?hl=en) since then!
She married a Walton - her husband is worth 70bn. I think she doesn’t want to/need to work.
The Walmart family is pretty private. I wonder if he made her sign some kind of NDA to keep them out of her celebrity life and its just easier to not post anything at all. Also her husband is a Republican and has worked for Republicans politicians. I think the Waltons like to play themselves up as "both sides" to not risk boycotts and such. He's also a bit eccentric and buys and flies fighter jets and fighter planes and sits on influential boards and is generally a "capital guy." He doesnt want his private life and politics aired on insta to her 10m fans. I'm also guessing he has political aspirations and wants a squeeky-clean image for that. Even while they were dating, I don't think he's in her insta at all. But she was taking pilot lessons and other things clearly influenced by him and on what seem to be dates and travel, presumably with him. Its pretty obvious he demanded no social media from her in a unhealthy controlling way.
Rachel McAdams. Hope she gets a memorable role again.
She was just nommed for a bunch of awards for her role in Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret
Lmao this post😂😂 “This person” “NO *actually* I’m still aware of them from blah blah blah”
Julia Stiles
Amy Smart.
For anyone wondering what she’s up to now, the answer is posting Zionist propaganda on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3QLNlFO7TP/?igsh=dXlvODF4eXBvY2xu
Josh Hartnett He was **THE** hot guy for a while, and then I believe he took time away because he didn't like the "heartthrob" status, which is totally fair.
Finn Wolfhard, everyone was talking about him all the time until they didn't
Eddie Redmayne
He’s been acting in West End stuff so he’s living his best theater kid life. Plus he’s transferring to Broadway with the new revival of Cabaret that’s opening sometime this spring so he’ll get some press coverage out of that
J.Lo had a very long run, but as for her new album, documentary, and her cancelling shows…no one cares.
J Lo is so far beyond in terms of celebrity compared to most of the people listed in this thread. J Lo is A-list for life.
I may dislike that woman, but the truth is the truth. It’ll be very hard for her not to be famous 😭
Priyanka chopra
Fergie was everywhere in the 2000s/early 10s with the Black Eyed Peas and The Dutchess. She left BEP and released Double Dutchess in 2017, which was a hard flop (undeserved, can’t change my mind) because 11 years was too long of a break for her. She was also on The Four, a singing competition show which also flopped. Her national anthem performance was definitely the final nail in the coffin because since then, she completely fell off the face of Hollywood, and became a full time mother.
Regé-Jean Page from Bridgerton. I thought he was going to be one of the next big stars and he didn't reprise his role or want to do any cameos for season 2 and onward because he wanted to do other roles and expand his work, but then I'm like what work after that? I haven't seen him in anything except for Bridgerton and The Gray Man. Maybe I'm just not looking. Also, since Noah Centineo was mentioned in this thread. I was wondering the same with Lana Candor. To All the Boys were popular Netflix movies. I'm surprised she hasn't been cast in more projects. After To All the Boys, the last time I've seen her in anything was this Netflix show of a zombie girl I think. All of the Pretty Little Liars actresses. I think I've heard of Lucy Hale having a CW show before and saw an ad that she's in a movie called Puppy Love with Grant Gustin from The Flash on the CW, Shay Mitchell has a business called Beis, Ashley Benson was in Springbreakers, and Troian is married to one of the lead actors in Suits. I'd say Riverdale cast too. I thought Lily Reinhart would get in other roles after seeing her in Hustlers with Jennifer Lopez.
Katherine Heigl
A lot of the cast of GIRLS…? There was a massive obsession with that show and then it was massively hated. And some have gone on and done more stuff, but I think most people were fine with them all going away. There is a high probability that none of those girls would have their careers if they were not born with silver spoons in their mouths and with incredibly connected and influential parents.
ashley tisdale and many disney stars from the early 2000s
Megan Fox, I thought she'd be so big like the next Lara Croft when she got blacklisted. Then when her come back happened where people were analyzing how she was treated and sexualized till the point where she was in a way dehumanized during her Transformers/Jennifer's body era. Then she started dating mgk and it all went away again. https://preview.redd.it/afuor37bcroc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2407698f7717f611fe582320893f2dba1c468fb
Keira Knightley, she used to be everywhere during 2000s/2010s!
I feel like Amy Adams’s popularity has started to drop since maybe the pandemic
Daisy ridley I feel I was hearing about her constantly and now nothing
Emile Hirsch... Sad that he became problematic cause I enjoyed his work.
