Some celebrities who were once on the Hollywood A List end up living the glamorous life for a while when they’re unable to get gigs. Some start their own businesses or endorse products until they are able to get acting work again. Other celebrities fall off the radar for years and the public barely remembers them until they happen to make the news for something negative.
Fortunately, there are some actors who are lucky enough to make a comeback. Maybe it’s not “luck” entirely. Some of these actors have kept their professional connections over the years, and an opportunity finally came up for them to show their talent again. Others revamped their image to be more appealing. Either way, we’re sure these creative professionals are sure to be back in the spotlight again. Here are 10 of the greatest acting career comebacks.
10. Robert Downey, Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. is the son of independent filmmaker Robert Downey Sr., and became popular in the 1980s when he appeared in movies like Weird Science and Less Than Zero. In the 1990s, Downey, Jr. was more famous for his drug and alcohol binges than his acting career. Downey Jr. was in a relationship with Sarah Jessica Parker during the time he was using drugs and alcohol, and she has stated how concerned she was for him at the time. He even had a three-year prison sentence during the 90s, which meant he wasn’t getting any acting jobs for a while. In the past few years, however, Robert Downey Jr. has cleaned up his act and made a comeback. He’s quite popular these days for the Iron Man films, which have been pretty successful. Downey Jr. has also cleaned up his public image by responding warmly to young fans who admire his work.
