8 Actors Whose Hot Temper Ruined Their Careers

Celebrities, known for their talents, can stir up trouble with their wild and sometimes irrational antics. This includes endless on-set and off-set quarrels, creating chaos in an otherwise calm work environment. Their involvement in scandals and controversies adds fuel to the fire, bringing negative attention and damaging their image. From wild parties to physical altercations, their erratic behavior poses a safety risk for the cast and crew. These disruptions can lead to delays and higher production costs. So it is crucial to either get rid of the unsavory actors or blacklist them entirely. Everyone’s replaceable in showbiz.

1. Mickey Rourke

Mickey Rourke hit his career peak in the ’80s, skyrocketing to Hollywood stardom, but quickly succumbed to that pesky star fever. Accused of on-set drama, narcissism, and arrogance, he even turned down roles like in “Top Gun” and “Rain Man” for higher pay, letting Tom Cruise seize the spotlight. Despite a resurgence in the 2000s with “Sin City” and “Iron Man 2,” Rourke’s career hit a snag due to a tarnished reputation and questionable plastic surgeries, likely halting it for good.

2. Shia LaBeouf

Not only is Shia LaBeouf a mediocre actor, but his ego is through the roof. He is sure that social norms and rules do not apply to him. That is why he often has problems with the law of varying degrees of complexity, from regular hooliganism to accusations of assault. LaBeouf’s desire to attract attention in any way possible played a cruel joke on him – the important people practically stopped inviting him to big film projects. He’s not fully out yet, but if this trend continues, he’ll be flipping burgers in just a few years.

3. Katherine Heigl

The charming blonde from “Grey’s Anatomy” hit it big with iconic comedies, becoming one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses. However, her sky-high self-esteem led to ridiculous demands, on-set scandals, and open insults to colleagues. Despite attempts to revive her career on TV, projects flopped, ratings tanked, and directors quickly dropped her, showcasing the consequences of overestimating one’s abilities.
