In the glitzy world of Hollywood, where fame is as fickle as the weather, some stars find themselves on the wrong side of the spotlight.

Whether due to personal issues, career missteps, or simply a decision to step away these celebrities have fallen from grace and struggled to regain their footing.

Here’s a look at some white celebrities who Hollywood seems reluctant to cast, and the reasons behind their career downturns.

Hayden Christensen: Despite showcasing his acting chops in films like “Life as a House” and “Shattered Glass,” Hayden Christensen’s association with the universally panned “Star Wars Trilogy: Episodes 1–3” has overshadowed his talents. Despite attempts at a comeback, including the film “90 Minutes in Heaven,” Christensen has struggled to shake off the stigma of his Anakin Skywalker days.

Seann William Scott: Best known for his role as Steve Stifler in the “American Pie” series, Seann William Scott has faced the classic dilemma of typecasting. Despite attempts to diversify his roles, including voice-over work in the “Ice Age” franchise, Scott has found it challenging to escape the shadow of his most iconic character.

Tobey Maguire: While Tobey Maguire achieved fame as Spider-Man, his career hit a rough patch following the lukewarm reception of “Spider-Man 3” and his involvement in an illegal poker club scandal. Despite efforts to produce critically acclaimed films like “25th Hour” and “Seabiscuit,” Maguire has struggled to recapture his former glory.

Vince Vaughn: Known for his quick wit and charm, Vince Vaughn’s career has faltered due to uninspired script choices and lackluster performances in films like “Couples Retreat” and “The Internship.” Despite attempts at rebranding, including a stint in “True Detective,” Vaughn has failed to regain his former star power.

Mel Gibson: Once a Hollywood heavyweight, Mel Gibson’s career took a hit following his arrest and a series of controversial incidents, including racist remarks and a publicized breakup. While films like “Hacksaw Ridge” earned critical acclaim, Gibson’s latest project, “Sound of Freedom,” has further alienated him from the Hollywood elite.

Jim Carrey: Known for his comedic genius in films like “The Mask” and “The Truman Show,” Jim Carrey shocked fans by announcing his retirement from Hollywood in 2022. Despite his box office success, Carrey chose to pursue other interests, signaling an end to his storied career.

Taylor Lautner: Rising to fame in the “Twilight Saga,” Taylor Lautner struggled to transition from his teen heartthrob image, facing critical and commercial failures in films like “Abduction” and “Tracers.” While finding success in comedic roles, Lautner faces an uphill battle to regain his leading man status.

Cameron Diaz: Despite early success in films like “The Mask,” Cameron Diaz’s career has stalled in recent years, with critical and commercial flops like “Sex Tape” and “Annie.” Diaz has shifted her focus to writing and personal endeavors, signaling a hiatus from the film industry.

Brendan Fraser: Allegations of assault against former Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Philip Berk led to Brendan Fraser’s blacklisting from Hollywood. Despite attempts to revive his career, Fraser’s future in the industry remains uncertain.

These white celebrities represent just a fraction of those who have fallen from grace in Hollywood. As the industry continues to evolve, the fate of these actors serves as a cautionary tale of the highs and lows of fame in Tinseltown.
