Box office glory fades. A new, younger star suddenly snags the roles tailor-made for them.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s why most actors don\u2019t trash their own films, no matter how bad they might be. Even Rebel Wilson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-8008483\/Rebel-Wilson-defends-Cats-movie-reveals-cult-classic.html\">defended 2019\u2019s infamous stink bomb \u201cCats.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The following stars break that unwritten rule. They have happily mocked their past efforts, inadvertently shaming their co-stars, directors and screenwriters in the process. Some did so for artistic reasons. Others may have felt pressure to criticize their less-than-woke projects.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Hanks<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve recently learned \u201cForrest Gump\u201d isn\u2019t proud of one of his two Oscar wins. Hanks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2022\/jun\/16\/tom-hanks-says-couldnt-play-gay-role-today-philadelphia\">has said<\/a> that nowadays, only a gay man could have played his role in 1993\u2019s \u201cPhiladelphia,\u201d even though he\u2019ll keep that golden statuette.<\/p>\n<p>Hanks has also attacked one of his most famous franchises, \u201cThe Da Vinci Code\u201d series, including the two sequels \u201cAngels &#038; Demons\u201d and \u201cInferno.\u201d Hanks starred as Robert Langdon in the successful saga, based on the best-selling books by Dan Brown. The saga, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/06\/13\/magazine\/tom-hanks-interview.html\">Hanks\u2019 interview with The New York Times<\/a>, is \u201cas cynical as a crossword puzzle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, those Robert Langdon sequels are hooey. \u201cThe Da Vinci Code\u201d was hooey.<\/p>\n<p>Those are delightful scavenger hunts that are about as accurate to history as the James Bond movies are to espionage. \u2026 All we were doing is promising a diversion.<\/p>\n<p>George Clooney<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cOcean\u2019s Eleven\u201d star is no stranger to clunkers, from his 2017 directorial dud \u201cSuburbicon\u201d to \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2021\/jan\/08\/grizzly-ii-review-george-clooney-laura-dern\">Grizzly II<\/a>,\u201d shot before NBC\u2019s \u201cER\u201d made him a star.<\/p>\n<p>Clooney saves most of his self-directed ire for \u201cBatman &#038; Robin,\u201d the 1997 film that crushed the Dark Knight franchise for 12 years. The film is a disaster, a tonal mishmash that attempts to summon the \u201860s TV show but fails miserably.<\/p>\n<p>Clooney has mocked the film for years, zeroing in on his contributions to the franchise. In an interview with GQ, Clooney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gq.com\/story\/george-clooney-icon-of-the-year-2020\">expanded his apology<\/a> to the film itself.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/george-clooney-admits-terrible-in-batman-and-robin\/\">.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I say \u201cBatman and Robin\u201d is a terrible film, I always go, \u201cI was terrible in it.\u201d Because I was, number one. But also because then it allows you the ability to say, \u201cHaving said I sucked in it, I can also say that none of these other elements worked either.\u201d You know? Lines like \u201cFreeze, Freeze!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clooney previously told \u201cThe Graham Norton Show\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/films\/news\/george-clooney-apologises-for-destroying-batman-robin-18-years-later-10276879.html\">played a role in crushing a beloved superhero saga<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Let me just say that I\u2019d actually thought I\u2019d destroyed the franchise until somebody else brought it back years later and changed it. I thought at the time that this was going to be a very good career move. Ummmmm, it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBatman &#038; Robin\u201d earned $107 million domestically, which was a far cry from \u201cBatman Forever\u2019s\u201d $184 million haul two years earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Shia LaBeouf<\/p>\n<p>The troubled star\u2019s career is in limbo following allegations he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/celebrities\/2022\/06\/21\/fka-twigs-looks-back-calling-abuse-ex-shia-labeouf\/7695095001\/\">sexually mistreated ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs<\/a>, charges the actor denies.<\/p>\n<p>Before those headlines, LaBeouf made some powerful enemies by trashing his work in \u201cIndiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull\u201d \u2026 and the film itself. The actor slammed his own contributions to the film, a commercial smash \u2014 but one fans soured on after its 2008 release.<\/p>\n<p>Talking to the Los Angeles Times, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/blogs\/24-frames\/story\/2010-05-15\/cannes-2010-shia-labeouf-we-botched-the-last-indiana-jones\">LaBeouf felt their pain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy\u00a0that people loved and cherished. \u2026 You get to monkey-swinging and things like that and you can blame it on the writer and you can blame it on Steven [Spielberg, who directed]. But the actor\u2019s job is to make it come alive and make it work, and I couldn\u2019t do it. So that\u2019s my fault. Simple.<\/p>\n<p>He also claimed star Harrison Ford had similar misgivings about the finished product.<\/p>\n<p>He wasn\u2019t happy with it either. Look, the movie could have been updated. There was a reason it wasn\u2019t universally accepted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSkull\u201d director Steven Spielberg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/movies\/a399730\/shia-labeouf-i-deeply-regret-criticising-steven-spielberg\/\">wasn\u2019t pleased<\/a> that LaBeouf didn\u2019t take one for the team.<\/p>\n<p>Viola Davis<\/p>\n<p>The Oscar winner is one of Hollywood\u2019s most revered stars, but an early role continues to haunt her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 2011 drama \u201cThe Help\u201d drew critical acclaim and commercial success \u2013 its $169 million U.S. box office total is rare for a dramatic film. The story follows a young writer (Emma Stone) who interviews the black women charged with tending to wealthy white families in their southern community.<\/p>\n<p>Davis played one of \u201cthe help,\u201d but the actress now looks back with disdain on the film and her contributions to it. It\u2019s worth noting Octavia Spencer, who is black, earned a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her part in the film.<\/p>\n<p>Davis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2020\/07\/cover-story-viola-davis\">complained<\/a> to Vanity Fair that the story was \u201ccreated in the filter and the cesspool of systemic racism\u201d and cared more about its \u201cwhite audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robert Pattinson<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Batman\u201d may have made Pattinson a bankable superhero star, but the \u201cTwilight\u201d films put him on the map.<\/p>\n<p>The unknown actor got the coveted role<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actors know their next gig could be their last in the fickle Hollywood arena.
