7 Famous Actors Who Destroyed Their Own Careers With A Few Careless Words

The age of filmmakers is long – there are many cases where stars continue to act and film even after their 90th birthday, such as Clint Eastwood. But there are also plenty of opposite examples, where actors disappear from the radar with one click.

I immediately want to think of Armie Hammer. The talented artist appeared in ‘Call Me by Your Name’, ‘The Agents of UNCLE’, ‘The Social Network’ – it seemed like he had a great career ahead of him. And then his posts appeared on the Internet, where he called himself a cannibal, adding accusations of harassment. He now works in the Cayman Islands as a hotel concierge. Apologies didn’t help.

A few careless words also killed The Mandalorian star Gina Carano when she allowed herself to make harsh statements about Jews. The public reaction was immediate: farewell contracts with Lucasfilm and Disney.

Hartley Sawyer, who appeared in the popular TV series “The Flash”, in one of his very old posts on social networks, made a very crude joke about violence against girls. That’s why, when these statements surfaced years later, he was released from prison. all his projects. The same fate befell Roseanne Barr, who humiliated Barack Obama’s advisor.

Michael Richards became one of the discoveries of the Seinfeld series, but in 2006 the actor made a sharp joke about African-Americans during a stand-up performance. This is the US, so the ending of the story is predictable.

Mel Gibson, who descended into anti-Semitic statements in the same year, was a little more fortunate: he disappeared from the radar for a number of years, but already won two Oscars in 2016 with his film Hacksaw Ridge. However, he still hates his colleagues.

Fortunately, there are plenty of good guys in Hollywood who are always true to their principles and do not give in to provocations. We recently found out which Western stars turn their noses up at Marvel films.
