It’s safe to say that many celebrities take their stardom for granted and believe that they will always be famous. However, it’s a fickle life because stars can and do burn out very quickly. Few of them can maintain their cultural relevance for multiple generations. But some celebs just don’t know – or can’t accept – that no one cares anymore.
So today we’ll look at celebrities who tried and failed to maintain their superstar status. They keep battling in vain for attention but it’s not working. We’re not talking about the stars who walked away because they had enough. Here’s a list of one-hit wonders who fans just don’t care about anymore.
Jaden Smith
There was a time when it seemed inevitable that Smith would be one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. However, there was one big problem with this. Jaden’s father Will had more interest in making his son a box office draw than he did. The early signs were apparent after he starred opposite Jackie Chan in The Karate Kid.
But then there was the disastrous flop that was After Earth and it became clear he had no talent. Meanwhile, Jaden’s sister Willow flourished from an annoying child singer into a genuinely fascinating musician. Maybe it’s harsh to pick on Jaden because his father forced him to chase the fame game (via Unilad).
