Lindsay Lohan was going great once upon a time, in fact, she was touted as the next big actress to watch for. She was getting paid $10 million for every movie and many endorsement deals were offered to her. However, her habit of partying endlessly and then coming late to work irked directors and producers. Besides that, she was rude and moody too because of the hangovers that she had. While it is being said that she has recovered a lot in her personal life, her professional career seems to be going nowhere as of now.

The actor has given some wonderful performances in movies Braveheart, What Women Want, Lethal Weapon and Passion of the Christ but it has been a pretty long time that we have seen him in a big movie. His role in the movie Expendables 3 was also not able to give him a comeback. The reasons behind Mel Gibson’s dwindling professional life are his closeness to alcohol and investigations going against him for domestic violence. Many times he has sounded racist and this has led to directors and producers making a distance from him.
