every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
focusing on the most interesting and
inspiring instances when celebrities
lifted themselves up from some dark
personal situations and returned to the
top of their game
this could mean financial success or
simply a feel-good story of redemption
but the running theme here is having
fallen down and getting back up again
number 10 and night Shyamalan for a
while there it seemed as if director M
night Shyamalan might never recover from
the career slump beset in only a few
short years after his breakthrough 1999
hit The Sixth Sense
you shouldn’t look at people it makes
them feel bad how did you got looking at
me a string of critical and commercial
failures bfet Shyamalan throughout the
late Ott’s into the 2010 with films like
The Happening after earth and especially
The Last Airbender all but running the
director out of business
thankfully there was enough buzz behind
Shyamalan 2015 film the visit and his
producer work on the TV show wayward
Pines to mount an honest-to-goodness
comeback one which was cemented with the
hit film split stupid and that makes
silly mistakes number 9 Justin Bieber
it’s never easy growing up in the
spotlight just ask Justin Bieber the
teen pop idol found success hard and
fast as a youth and it wasn’t long
before Bieber was making headlines for
anything but music the Canadian singer
went through the tabloid ringer when it
came to his bad behavior but all of that
appeared to change in 2015 indeed it
seemed as if we were being treated to an
older more mature Justin Bieber and his
album that year purpose reflected that
focus with songs like sorry love
yourself and what do you mean striking a
chord with critics and fans alike what
do you say number 8 Mel Gibson elem
Scotland is free anyone in Hollywood
will tell you how difficult it is to
overcome bad publicity but it takes a
certain kind of person to come back
after two PR nightmares Gibson was
essentially blacklisted in the movie
business
following a pair of rants from 2006 and
2010 earning the original Mad Max actor
a reputation for racism anti-semitism
sexism and violence
I’ll be all right my somebody clearly
gets enacted infrequently during this
time and directed even less until his
work on 2016 hacksaw Ridge earned him an
Oscar nomination for Best Director I
believe any man who takes such pride in
his natural naked State will surely
enjoy the brisk of the outdoors
now move your private private part
Hollywood is unlikely to ever forget
Gibson’s crimes but they appear willing
to give him a shot at forgiveness number
7 Martha Stewart
it doesn’t say none of your business how
do you come out of a prison stint and
still manage to look fabulous cook
deliciously and decorate with the
greatest of ease only Martha Stewart
knows the home making guru hit a
roadblock in 2004 when she was sent to
prison for making false statements to
investigators about her role in
accepting inside information about a
stock sale Stewart spent five months
behind bars and five more on house
arrest before emerging to rebuild a
lesser businesswoman might have simply
retreated from the spotlight but not
Martha Stewart whose brand is bigger
than ever
proving that sometimes you just have to
accept the cards the way they’re dealt
fresh-killed beaut or kill the chicken
yourself yes I have number six
Mickey Rourke bet me 20 Mickey Rourke
impressed critics and fans alike with
his work in such a tease hit as diner
and angel heart then Rourke’s life
derailed with him seemingly sabotaging
his own career turning down roles and
causing problems on set he also suffered
some blows to his movie star good looks
thanks to some botched plastic surgery
and a boxing career thankfully a couple
of critically acclaimed and financially
successful films managed to turn things
around for work namely Sin City and The
Wrestler
the latter was particularly poignant
showcasing just how powerful and
sympathetic war could be as an actor and
earning him an Oscar nod in the process
as well as proving that raw talent never
truly goes away I’m an old broken-down
piece of meat
and I’m alone number five Rob Lowe young
fans that only know Rob Lowe from his
work on television commercials or
programs like Parks and Recreation in
the West Wing may be surprised to hear
that Lowe was once basically persona non
grata in Hollywood they’ve got the real
thing is low then shining star was badly
tarnished in 1988 after a sex tape was
released featuring the actor with two
women one of whom was just 16 years old
although the age of consent in Georgia
was 14 at the time this scandal combined
with low substance abuse and erratic
behavior severely affected his personal
stock for years god you’re so beautiful
it wasn’t until Lowe cleaned up his act
that he managed to return from his
disgrace number 4 Drew Barrymore –
Martha came really remember when we
mentioned how hard it can be to grow up
in the spotlight
drew Barrymore is a poster child for
both the dangers of childhood celebrity
and the potential to come out the other
side Barrymore gained worldwide
attention as a child star with iconic
performances in such films as
firestarter and most notably ET the
extra-terrestrial before the pressures
of quick stardom began to take their
toll it would take multiple trips to
rehab and a suicide attempt before
Barrymore would rebound in the 90s and
she now enjoys a pleasant status on
Hollywood’s a-list number three Winona
Ryder I can’t believe I just count the
best friend the Netflix hit stranger
things may have reminded us in 2016 just
how bright writer star can shine but
truthfully the actress had been slowly
coming back for years after a strong
start to her career spanning from the
late 80s to the 90s a 2001 arrest for
shoplifting temporarily derailed the
actress a hiatus followed which ended
with her role in the 2006 film A Scanner
Darkly yeah I didn’t came from sorry I
didn’t mean to hurt your feelings I am
just proud of it right now
since then she’s
busy working on films like the dilemma
Star Trek and Darren Aronofsky’s Black
Swan though she’s arguably been back for
years it was undeniably her role in
stranger things which earned her
numerous Award nominations that cemented
her return 12 years wealthier she’s been
looking for number two Britney Spears
many of us remember those shocking
photos of 90s pop queen Britney Spears
with a shaved head acting completely
crazy and attacking a car with an
umbrella by 2007 the performer has
fallen on hard times thanks to a heavy
substance abuse habit an ugly custody
battle with former husband Kevin
Federline and the death of her aunt
these days however beers have seen her
stock ride back to the top thanks to a
hot Las Vegas residency and a number of
well-received singles this combined with
sobriety and health as seen Britney rise
from the ashes of some truly dark time
number one Robert Downey jr. we start a
fashion easy receive 10% thrust capacity
achieves leg and 3 – he may be Iron Man
now but there was a time not so long ago
that Robert Downey jr. almost lost it
all the actor had repeated run-ins with
the law on account of his heavy
substance abuse issues she’s her kids we
want you know fake fashion loud music
every weekend religiously I want to
provide it for them and I want to do it

a toll on Downey’s personal life to the
point where he was arrested in 1996 for
falling asleep in a bed it just so
happened to belong to his neighbor it
took a rehab stint in California prison
marred by a number of relapses to start
