12 excellent actors and actresses whose last film work was a complete failure (13 photos)

Most of the participants on the list will definitely appear in films, so we need to improve. For now, here it is.





We know these people as good actors and actresses who have proven this to us more than once. But not with his most recent film! We invite you to look at those living movie stars whose last role (as of September 2023) came from a truly unsuccessful project.

Cameron Diaz - "Annie" (2014)



IMDb: 5.3

Chronologically, the last released film with Cameron Diaz of the three, whose premiere occurred in 2014. The actress put her film career on hold immediately after she gave out this triplet. By the way, two other films - "Home Video" and "The Other Woman" - were also unsuccessful.

According to rumors, the actress will resume her career with a film called “Back In Action”, where Jamie Foxx will star alongside Diaz.

Richard Gere - Meet the Parents (2023)





IMDb: 4.9

Among the star veterans in this film, Diane Keaton and Susan Sarandon also appeared.

Tom Hardy - Venom 2 (2021)



IMDb: 5.9

In general, Tom hasn’t pleased fans with really good films since Dunkirk.

The actor will likely make amends in the upcoming film Desolation, which will be released this year.

Jack Nicholson - How to Know... (2010)



IMDb: 5.4

At the moment, the last role of probably the best actor in the history of cinema came in an ordinary melodrama with a poor rating.

By the way, we specifically did not include in the list of actors of the older generation who are already over 80, except for Nicholson, since in 2010 he was 73. And also Bruce Willis, because he had a good reason to star in not the best quality projects - you can here read about it if you didn’t know its history.

Jared Leto - The Haunted Mansion (2023)



IMDb: 6.2

In the case of Leto, we can say that his last and penultimate film roles were a complete failure. By the way, this same film is currently the last for Danny DeVito.

So far, Jared’s only plans are to participate in the film “Tron 3,” which will be released in 2025.

Russell Crowe - "Vatican Exorcist" (2023)



IMDb: 6.1

Just by the name alone you can understand that this is another low-quality horror film, but what did Russell Crowe forget here?

The actor will probably make amends in the fantasy superhero film Kraven the Hunter, which will be released this year.

Amy Adams - Enchanted 2 (2022)



IMDb: 5.6

Amy Adams hasn't been happy at all in recent years, and the sequel to her not-so-best film doesn't improve the situation.

Tommy Lee Jones - "Hollywood Hustle" (2020)



IMDb: 5.7

Another passable crime comedy with aging stars, which was ready back in 2020, but due to the pandemic, it was released only in 2022. Of the film legends, Robert DeNiro and Morgan Freeman also starred here.

Natalie Portman - Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)



IMDb: 6.2

The return to the franchise did not work out. Primarily because this film was completely unnecessary for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And if for Chris Hemsworth such a project is something ordinary, then for Natalie Portman we expect much more.

We'll meet her in the upcoming film "May, December."

Mel Gibson - Time of Reckoning (2023)



IMDb: 4.4

And here is the honorary owner of the worst average rating among all the films on this list. And again I want to ask the question: what did Mel Gibson forget here?

We are waiting for the actor in the upcoming John Wick spin-off series called Continental.

Michael Fassbender - X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)



IMDb: 5.7

The actor played the main role in David Fincher's new film "The Killer", which will be released very soon and promises to be extremely good. In the meantime, Fassbender's filmography is crowned by the worst film in the entire X-Men franchise.

Charlize Theron - Fast & Furious 10 (2023)



IMDb: 5.8

The legendary film series, which has long turned into a meme, is sucking in more and more excellent actors who would be better off starring in something else. And okay Statham, okay Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and even Jason Momoa. But I especially don’t want to let Charlize Theron, Brie Larson and Helen Mirren come here.
