Top 10 Actors That Have Lost Their Mojo


for one reason or another these actors
seem to have lost their way welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 actors
that have lost their mojo I chased off
anyone who’s ever loved me and lately I
can’t even stand the face I see for this
list we’re focusing on notable actors
and actresses who seem to have lost that
special something in recent years what
we’re calling mojo what about the old
stinker ooh we’re referring to the
appeal cool factor and/or charm that
once made them a lot more successful and
popular than they are today
but have you looked at my file sir it
explicitly says that this is a temporary
assignment number 10 John Travolta how
are you sorry you buyers some flowers
it don’t make me come back despite the
mega success of FX’s American crime
story that’s how bring him in at 11 and
you have my word and my word is gold one
can’t deny that John Travolta has been
slipping in recent years with the mixed
reviews of his portrayal of Robert
Shapiro demonstrating this Barbara my
position has always been the same race
should not and would not be part of this
cage this is the man who once dazzled
and thrilled and hits like grease and
pulp fiction but then he starred in and
co-produced the cinematic abomination
known as Battlefield Earth if we were to
train them how to mine we’ve seen that
his acting can still be potent but he
certainly hasn’t been doing himself any
favors with his other recent roles we’re
not saying Travolta should retire it’s
just that his career trajectory seems to
be in a major decline as his good film
roles are few and far between I know
what it takes takes motivation you guys
have plenty of it
number 9 Jim Carrey that’s one hot don’t
let it go to your head by the mid-2000s
this Canadian comedian was on a roll
after starring in eat
sunshine of the spotless mind I can’t
see anything that I don’t like about you
but somehow things started to grind to a
halt after that most people blame that
halt on the decent but unremarkable the
number 23 I do this and on the fact that
the public lost interest in him and new
stars have emerged ever since we’ve all
been waiting for that kick-ass role but
instead we got kick ass too and dumb and
dumber too sure you gotta respect the
man for taking chances but it’s time for
mr. Carey to find a relevant
collaborator in comedy one that knows
how to harness what’s left of his
dwindling mojo supply you gotta admit I
totally have you suckered tonight hook
line and sinker number eight Al Pacino
student snack and always use something
to learn off we can’t really blame this
icon of cinema for deciding to take
things a bit easier after so many hit
films he’s getting older so it’s a fact
of life but flicks like Danny Collins
and manglehorn seem vastly beneath him
anybody’s been a while man it has good
just trying to play a game here sadly
it’s easier to name three or four
comedians that do a top-notch Pacino
impression than it is to name three or
four good Pacino films from the last 15
years you’re playing D&D you’re playing
D&D this whole apartment
it’s playing D&D we have infinite
respect for the man who starred in Dog
Day Afternoon
and The Godfather trilogy it’s not
personal Sonny it’s strictly business
and even in his older age he’s given
great performances like in any given
Sunday on this team we tear ourselves
and everyone else around us to pieces
for that inch yeah just promise us al
no more appearances in Adam Sandler
productions weed out our hearts would be
able to take it like I know she’s in
hair pop or get over the fence yeah come
on number seven Cameron Diaz knows
ripping his balls
his Diaz has had a rough time in the
world of acting in the new millennium
while she tried her hand at comedy twice
in the same year that unfortunately
brought us a cringe-worthy performance
in sex tape is what I am talking about I
feel good about this school and the
tone-deaf Colleen Hannigan
in Annie I used to be a bright star we
understand she would want to try
something a little edgier and a Ridley
Scott film sounds like the best place to
start however all that did was give us
the confusing and unsexy seen of her
grinding a car in the counselor so she
does his full split and then she starts
running herself hopin now let’s hope she
finds some middle ground that doesn’t
have her doing anything related to sex
based comedy at least for her own sake
because the last thing we need is a
repeat of the other woman is this some
kind of stripper groom or something oh
no no number six Jodie Foster well
that’s too bad because there’s really
not much we can do about mister The
Silence of the Lambs will undoubtedly
remain a classic suspense thriller for
generations to come
I ate his liver with some fava beans and
a nice
yanti unfortunately it seems that MS
foster hasn’t been able to shine as
brightly since roles and inside men
panic room and Elysium may have been
good but these have also been few and
far between I’m not interested in your
little ideas I’m interested in something
much larger then there were films like
the beaver and carnage which have pretty
much been swept under the rug and
forgotten let’s just hope that her
directorial venture succeeds to
counteract her lack of acting mojo is it
would be a waste for Clarice Starling to
fade into obscurity you fly back to
school now that was dawning all we need
to do is watch her breakout performance
and taxi driver to remember all that
potential mister it’s your time 15
minutes 8 long number 5 Johnny Depp my
husband is trying to reclaim his youth
by crying that horrible mist are doing
for me that that ship is sailing freely
Mordecai man before me as had one I will
have you know that some members of the
fairer sex do find it quite appealing
while we can never get enough of Captain
Jack Sparrow it’s fair to say that
Depp’s outrageous and witty characters
were becoming a bit formulaic his
character acting is definitely top notch
but at times he seems to be the only
thing in his films worth investing it
and that case not so good but then
there’s the opposite situation as shown
in his unremarkable performance in the
painful transcendence I’ll be long gone
you don’t let me hear the ended
luckily the release of black mass showed
us that depth still has a hunger for
roles that harken back to the days of
Donnie Brasco and blow we’re really
hoping to see more good Johnny in the
near future I knew what I was put on the
planet for it was the greatest feeling I
ever had followed very abruptly by the
worst feeling I ever had
number four Mike Myers oh I’ve got your
John Mayer honey Jam these days it seems
that this man has long forgotten what
makes good comedy though there was a
time when he really knew it all would
you like a smoke and a pancake Oh once
still was there any reason for him to
subject us to the final Austin Powers
and Trek films do you think maybe he’s
compensating for something it seems like
you can have too much of a good thing as
those franchises proved and the less
said about his venture with the Love
Guru the better I want to become a guru
so girls will like me then I will like
myself while he’s been slowly climbing
back up the ladder as seen in his brief
but solid appearance an inglorious
basterds
have hole all rotten eggs in one basket
the objective of operation Kino left the
Vaughn school we’re really hoping the
next time he branches out in comedy
he’ll have his mojo back baby
I’ve lost my mojo number three Eddie
Murphy that’s right pou nama five
talking Duncan speaking of Shrek this
comedic legend has traded originality
for a slow decline into the same old
shtick Eddie Murphy has unfortunately
become the face of the Golden Raspberry
award in recent years you listen not
gonna let anything happen to you
The Adventures of Pluto Nash Norbit meet
Dave a thousand words I want to be a
bird I want to be a burden I want to
swallow your philosophy then I want to
spit it back into the mouths of the
children of the world
what was once a glowing resume of comedy
is slowly being soiled with cheap and
unfunny films yes there have been a few
gems
as a genuinely sinister performance in
Dreamgirls reven black so that gives us
hope that no matter what jar he chooses
to tackle next he will be able to slowly
restore our faith in his mojo oh and if
you lovely number two robert de niro
finally see this this is this they say
it’s something else this is this from
now on you’re on your own on paper
2016’s dirty grandpa was a success but
was it really though is this an
acceptable performance from a legend of
cinema she told me on a deathbed you get
back out there again the answer is no
despite all of Robert De Niro’s landmark
roles Hollywood seems to want him to
play cheap tough guys or unfunny
stubborn elders and frankly we’re all
getting tired of it thanks ace you’re
not gonna drink anymore right follow me
ace
even though they weren’t Award
contenders the intern and joy show us
that given the right material De Niro
can still give us a solid performance
you know what you ought ter you like a
gas leak we don’t see you we don’t spend
you but you silently killing us all
since he’s supposed to be reuniting with
Martin Scorsese for the Irishman though
we are praying that will see De Niro
give it his all and make our jaws drop
once again for all the right reasons I’m
gonna tell you right and until you’re
doing that I just said over to the curb
pulled over to the curb of the city
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable or in this case
dishonorable mentions where are we gonna
go and see burn about your finger no
arguments yummy safe is milk was the
deal no I have like enough man watch the
mayor he’s given rode on I guess you’re
sprung for the country club it’s like an
amusement park
shall we did you get an invitation I
write about sometimes you do yeah I make
up stories about how seeing her stories
making you don’t know what you doing
that number one Adam Sandler why what
have I ever done for you what if I ever
done for anybody to be fair you could
say that Adam Sandler is fiercely loyal
to his happy Madison family and for a
good five years stretch from 1998 to
2003 his role selections seem to be
paying off with their unique blend of
mindless humor and the human element
give you my coat when you are cold but
today Sandler isn’t just phoning it in
he appears to have lost touch with
reality completely are you going bald
huh no no you’re getting fatter and your
hair doesn’t realize it needs to cover
more face
we can almost forgive him for Jack and
Jill but the fact that pixels and the
ridiculous six actually exist is proof
enough that people really really need to
stop going to see Adam Sandler films you
know me no harm
we’re just looking for our dad as
terrible reviews clearly aren’t
bothering him maybe you should have
checked with me first make sure I want
to stay do you agree with our list what
actor or actress do you think has lost a
considerable amount of mojo
