 Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out as in 2015 fans started posting pictures of Lawrence in his latest role as Santa's helper at Sun Valley Mall. The star was barely recognizable and has definitely aged so much that it's not hard to see why the the 27-year-old actor is out of work.


Let's hope that there are enough jobs at the North Pole to keep him going for a while.


Number Nine Winona Ryder 

While Winona Ryder was once one of Hollywood's hottest, The Edward Scissorhands star had a highly publicized fall from grace in 2001 when she was caught stealing over $5,000 worth of designer clothes from sakes Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. 

The incident was quickly leaked to the media and the whole world saw the security footage of Ryder stealing the goods during the trial prosecutors accused the star of using a variety of drugs illegally including oxycontin valium and vicodin. In December 2002, she was convicted of grand theft shoplifting and vandalism and sentenced to three years probation and 480 hours of community service. Writer did manage to work through her troubles and land consistent gigs but it wasn't until she backed herself a lead role on the uber popular Netflix series stranger things that she was totally accepted back into the fold it was a close one Winona.


Number Eight  Tom Cruise

 One of the most successful performers to ever grace our screens Tom Cruise started his career at the tender age of 19 since then he's been the lead in numerous major blockbusters most notably the mission impossible franchise. However, things may be about to change during the making of American made, two pilots were killed Allen wen and Carlos Burle perished when the small twin-engine plane they were flying went down in bad conditions on location in Columbia.

 According to the lawsuit filed by the payer,  Crews and director Doug Liman are largely to blame after repeatedly adding entire scenes and aerial shots without warnin

 An executive producer voiced his concerns at the time saying it was some of the most insane stuff he ever had to deal with the families do not directly name crews are Lyman as defendants in the suit but claimed that the cocktails star could have flown the plane himself as he is a qualified and experienced pilot. 

According to them, the flight was a spontaneous rushed ad-hoc mission on unfamiliar terrain in unfamiliar weather from a small jungle airstrip undoubtedly Cruz's reputation has been tarnished beyond repair 


Number Seven Shia LaBeouf 

Shia LaBeouf had a wide variety of roles as a kid playing "Lois Stevens"and "Even Stephens"  alongside her first entry Steven Anthony Lawrence as well as in feature films. His successful career went on as he landed the role of Sam Witwicky in the Transformers franchise along Megan Fox which was a commercial hit. But sometimes, the pressure is just too much for Superstars and they simply crack. Things started going awry in 2014 when the buff was char with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass at Studio 54. His behavior definitely didn't resemble that of a Disney star when he spat at officers, swore and yelled all the way to the station while he attended rehab. After the incident, a similar occurrence happened in July of 2017 where LaBeouf launched a horrible tirade of abuse against officers who tried to detain him in Savannah Georgia on the grounds of public intoxication. 

He was subsequently sentenced to a years probation fined $1,000 and is required to attend anger-management. It's no surprise given this conduct that Shia isn't on our screens anymore. 

Number 6 kendall Jenner

 You might be asking why the Uber famous kendall Jenner is on this list as there was a time when young girls everywhere wanted to be just like her, sadly for Kendall she made a disastrous career choice at some point when she agreed to star in a Pepsi commercial.


The advertisement entitled live for now sees her using a can of the beverage to make a truce between police officers and protesters. upon its release it was highly criticized for making light of important issues such as the black lives matter movement and police brutality the ad was pulled within 24 hours

Pepsi issued a formal apology including one to Kendall but maintained that she had the right to approve it before it was released. Many also speculated on her silence throughout the scandal, wondering why she hadn't apologized at all although it was later discovered that her the contract prohibited her from speaking out on the issue regardless of what went wrong here.

Kendall lost a multitude of admirers and respects from making such a careless career move. 

Number five Justin Bieber

 Regardless if you hate him or if you're a die-hard belieber, you can't deny that popstar Bieber is one of the biggest names in the industry today. He had his first head with the annoyingly catchy baby when he was just 16 years old. Though he had the face of an angel he's now notorious for his bad-boy shenanigans. Even early on in his career, Bieber wasn't the nicest to his fans often telling them to go away when they asked for autographs or selfies. Sometime ago, the star published a statement saying it has gotten to the point that people won't even say hi to me or recognize me as a human.

 I want to be able to retain my sanity I realize people will be disappointed but I don't owe anybody a picture. Couple that with his brushes with the law following a DUI and vandalism among other things and the sweet face Prince of Pop has definitely gone rogue. He seems to be holding on for now but time will only tell how this one will pan out our bet it won't be pretty 


Number four Adam Levine

 Lead singer of maroon 5 Levine may appear like the epitome of kind after all he's an expert at creating love songs the reality is quite different. One fan was left disgruntled and burning all of her CDs. According to one Reddit user, his girlfriend approached Levine super-excited to get an autograph from one of her favorite singers rather than agreeing and happily signing, Levine reportedly said I don't give autographs to ugly chicks before walking away. That's not the only story out there, the singer being less than gentlemanly either as a judge on The Voice audiences just assumed that his no-nonsense persona was simply an act unfortunately not is this kind of behavior that ruins careers and alienates fan bases.


Number Three Iggy Azalea

 Some of these singers might seem infallible but they found themselves in hot trouble through the unique world of Twitter. Rap sensation Iggy Azalea is notorious for being outspoken but she's also notorious for being a keyboard warrior. We've lost count of the amount of feuds Iggy has conjured up out of thin air. In 2011, she tried to start an argument with Crayon, constantly tweeting negative things at her and retweeting ones about her. Crayon didn't lower herself and never responded. In the same year, Azealia Banks tweeted her admiration for a geek but surprisingly that escalated into a massive issue too. When asked about her constant Twitter arguments, Azalea maintained that she didn't have a problem with anyone but the evidence says different. Gone are the days were a key was just recognized for her singing these days she's more famous than a cattle farm for the amount of beef she rears.

Number two Julianne rose Morelli

If you grew up in the 2000s, chances are you'll have watched an episode of the ultra colorful and wacky lazy town full of bright characters and obnoxious tunes.

Pink haired Stephanie often stole the show. Julianne Rose Morelli performed the part till she was considered too old by producers. according to website Glossy News, Morelia was arrested several times for prostitution and drugs although many have called this false information. Morelli herself claims to have never been arrested at all let alone for offenses such as these a debunked false story or just a crafty cover-up from this child actress. 

Number One Britney Spears

 Spears was the picture of innocence in 1998 just 16 years old when baby one more time was released. It's not been all sunshine and rainbows for the once pristine starlet she had more scandals than you can shake a stick at. From the messy breakup with Justin Timberlake due to alleged infidelity, to her very public mental breakdown where she shaved her head.


 It's been a long road for Britney due to substance abuse issues. She lost custody of her children to her ex-husband dancer Kevin Federline and bounced in and out of rehab while Brits carried on making music for the entirety of her career, many still fear the singer will have a tragic end.

 for the moment though spear seems to be doing well having just finished a residency in Las Vegas and posting numerous photos of her post-workout body on Instagram.
