Andrew Dice Clay - Washed up late 80s comic who was a punchline to a guy who should have been nominated for an Oscar.

His wooden acting in the Matrix really dragged him down in the 2000s( which is more the Wachowkis fault). He was seen as a joke for a long time. But now he has a giant resurgence. Starting with John Whick and onward. Now we can't get enough of him. Everybody marked out at his appearance in the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer. And, of course: I honestly don't think anything would break my heart more than a Keanu Reeves scandal. The guy by all accounts seems like the perfect role model. I'd hate to be wrong about this.

The only thing that confuses me about Keanu Reeves is why he looks so terrible in the new Bill and Ted trailers. Like some bad plastic surgery happened. Unless that’s a joke on the fact that he hasn’t aged?

Hugh Grant. Lovable fop to tabloid scandal plagued pariah to hasbeen then unexpected hero fighting against the tabloids that worked so hard to try and destroy his life to sell a few hundred more copies, and unexpected voice of reason in crazy times. Slightly related, but in the last couple of years I’ve realised he can actually act. He was great in ‘A Very English Scandal’ as a disgraced MP and went into full ham actor in ‘Paddington 2’...playing a washed up hammy actor. I agree with you about the public perception of him, but after 25 years it’s nice to see him portraying something other than the bumbling but bashful British gentlemen.

The Keanu one always kills me. I have soft spots for him, RDJ and Johnny Depp and always have, but with the latter two, I understand people can judge about things I personally believe they shouldn't. Poor Keanu, as far as I know, doesn't even have any demons for people to judge. What did he ever do except make movies and be awesome? Thank goodness now people seem to get that he's basically the best. The only thing I've seen, and this is SUPER minor, is that he's a Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare conspiracy theorist... which again is super minor and is almost quaint considering some of the other names mentioned here.

Michael Bolton. Once seen as a soft rock hack ripping off soul singers, by being willing to make fun of himself, he's gained somewhat of a following, and apparently, his musical work is being re-evaluated as well.

Channing Tatum. His pretty boy meathead roles in his early career didn't win him any favors with the male movie-going public, and when he played a pretty boy meathead Duke in GI Joe it enraged an entire generation of nostalgic 80s kids. He turned things around with 21 Jump Street, which showed that Tatum has great comedic timing AND understands his public image and is willing to laugh at himself, with that movie lampooning the pretty boy meathead character and turning it on its head. Since then, he's done Tarantino, Coen brothers, voice acting, and even critically acclaimed serious drama, and it's all been pretty well received.

Came to post this. After his death and seeing where he was at the time gave a way different perspective on One More Light. Downloaded "Heavy" when it came out just because I liked the song, and the lyrics are really uncomfortable now. It's from so much earlier and about totally different stuff, but I literally can't listen to 'In the End' any more. That chorus. That chorus. f***.

Kenny G got made fun of Wayne's World as being worse than getting drilled by the dentist.
And now?
Actually... what does everyone think of Kenny G?

Robert Downey Jr. went from a washed up, drug addict into America's sweetheart and one of the biggest movie stars on the planet.
Anybody remember the political superstar John Edwards? HOLY SHIT! In the early to late 00's, this guy was regarded as a front runner for President, and was John Kerry's VP pick. He was well-spoken, endearing, and supported important causes. Well, the real John Edwards cheated on his dying wife, had a illegitimate child, used campaign funds to cover his affair, made a campaign staffer claim the child as his own, later claimed the child after a DNA test, and told his mistress that they would marry after his wife died. He was later found guilty of six felony counts of misuse of campaign funds. His political career in ruins, he became a injury lawyer in North Carolina.

I don't know if you are purposefully doing the Howard Dean "yeaaaah" scream (or I am assuming it is that) as to make light of how unmemorable John Edwards is that you confused him for another person... But I am giving you a like none the less!
Unless I am completely wrong and John Edwards also had a YYYYEAAAh thing...
I always think of that psychic guy who's show was big for a hot minute until everyone realized cold reading was not psychic boosheet.
