I'm sorry, how is Brendan Fraser not on this list? He literally achieved one of the greatest comebacks an actor can dream of having and with an OSCAR to prove it. Ke Huy Quan should be here too, their comebacks literally happened last year.
And he is also one of the main reasons the Marvel Cinematic Universe had the success it had. If Marvel had chose another actor as Tony Stark, they might never had the explosive growth they enjoyed between 2008 and 2020.
@@johnd.1618NOT NECESSARILY.. even though my son has Downeys face tattooed on his friggin leg.. DOWNEY IS NOW A BIG HEADED DOUCEBAG.. AND ISNT GRATEFUL OR HUMBLE.
Keanu Reeves got blacklisted because he turned down the sequel to Speed. He also suffered some intense personal losses as well as taking time away from his acting career to care for his sister while she battled leukemia.
@@patrickspencer6550 those were the personal losses. His wife miscarried, and she was later killed in a car accident. He deserves every ouch of success he has.
Turning down Speed 2 just proved that Keanu isn’t an idiot, despite the whole Bill & Ted persona he still gets associated with. Even the _premise_ of that film is laughably bad! And I’m so glad he did because it all worked out in his favour in the end. Keanu is that rarest of Hollywood unicorns - a genuine, demonstrably sweet, kind and caring soul who deserves all the success and happiness in the world. ❤️
I really admire Drew Barrymore for being able to attend rehab and get clean after a messy childhood. Nowadays, she's known more for her adult roles than her child star days.
When I first saw the title of this video, Robert Downey Jr was my first thought. There was a time I honestly thought he would die from his substance abuse. I am very thankful for his recovery. The entertainment world would not be the same without him!!!
When I heard Ryder was reprising her role in Beetlejuice in the sequel, and a 20 year old actress was plying her daughter, well, that just made me feel old!
Really is amazing...in 1999, if you'd asked me what Robert Downey Jr.'s fate would be in 2024, I would've absolutely listed "homeless" or "dead" before "Oscar-winning A-Lister".
I love that the last few Best Supporting Oscar winners have been actors such as Ke Huy Quan and Robert Downey Jr, who have made epic comebacks. Brendan Fraser is also an excellent example.
Robert Downey Jr. is the best comeback. He has always been one of my favorite actors, but seeing him play Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man has been a heyday for me, as I have loved both characters since childhood. RDJ is perfect for both.
Still in 2023 for a 2022 movie, wht has he done since? These people did multiple things after coming back and he won a sympathy oscar anddddd now he's gone silent
That wasn’t a “sympathy Oscar” ffs, his performance was legitimately fantastic. I’m not saying it’s an amazing film, but his _performance_ was unreal. And winning the Best Actor Oscar with his comeback role after all his struggles and years in the wilderness should have earned him inclusion on this list, whether he’s done jack-shit since or not.
Many nice comebacks. Keanu Reeves,Eddie Murphy,Elton John,Mickie Rourke,Drew Barimore,Britney Spearse,Joaquin Phoenix,Mariah Carey,Michael Keaton,Neil Patrick Harris,Matthew Mcconaughey. Robin Downey is great success! Really historic comenback. Legendary. So many great movies. Excellent video😁
This list needs a subtitle since it doesn't go back much further than the 70s. Two of the biggest career comebacks are overlooked: Marlon Brando (with The Godfather) and Elvis (with the 1968 TV special).
I remember watching Robert Downey Jr. get in all kinds of trouble as a child thinking he would end up in prison or dead, I am very happy that he was able to turn his whole life around.
I loved him in Ally McBeal, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, etc. Ironman, though, is my favorite. I can't see anyone else playing Tony Stark. RDJ, man, I wish I could meet him. His documentary "SR" about his dad was amazing too. Definite recommend if you haven't watched it.
The greatest comeback in the history of show business was by Frank Sinatra. He was the first teen Idol in the 40s, by the early 50s. His record label had dropped him and he had voice issues. When he got the part of Maggio in the movie from here to eternity in 1953 he was back on top. He won an Academy award for his performance in that movie. And he stayed at the top until his death in 1998.
Catherine O'Hara could be included on this list going from SCTV to Beetlejuice & Home Alone with a long time in between before her role on Schitt's Creek bringing her new fans.
That amazingly understated Keanu Reeves segment was the most interesting I've seen in ages. I don't know why it got such an under the table burn. Very slick, very slick indeed.…
The Elton John segment is ridiculously misleading in that while he didn't have a top ten album in the 1980's, 1988's Reg Strikes Back did reach #16, was a smash hit worldwide and produced a single - "I Don't Want to Go On With You Like That" - that DID chart at #2 on the Billboard chart. So, yeah, he was very much making hits in the 1980's.
I agree! Totally misleading. Elton John had a BIG presence in the 1980s. "I'm Still Standing" and "Sad Songs Say So Much" were on MTV constantly (and the latter became a Sasson jeans commercial! 😄) And "That's What Friends Are For," his collaboration with Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, and Dionne Warwick was always on MTV as well (and so touching.) Also he did "Empty Garden," another tearjerker in honor of his friend John Lennon. Plus "Little Jeannie," "Nikita," and "Sacrifice." This video makes it look like he just disappeared in the late 70s and reappeared in the 90s, when in fact, he was all over the place in the 80s.
I gotta say before becoming a marvel superhero Robert downey Jr aka Tony stark\Iron man was dropping down but when the mcu started in 2008 it saved his career putting Tony in the big leagues and Robert downey jr a big actor and now he is one of the best marvel superhero of all times
This shouldn't have been on the list, necessarily, but Shania Twain's video made me think of Robert Palmer, who had a minor hit or 2 in the 1970's ("Every Kind of People" and "Bad Case of Loving You"), before totally blowing up, more than a half decade later in the mid-'80s, after joining The Power Station with members of Duran Duran then having a great solo run with "Addicted to Love" and "Simply Irresistible" amongst others.
I find it sad but inspiring that substance abuse knocked most of these folks into the dirt, and they were able to overcome their issues and climb back up.
Chapelle never ruined his career or saved it, he left on his own terms and came back stronger on his own terms and never backed down from the toxic cancel culture.
Maturity is when you realize that the lgbtq is not a real problem and poverty, health care and homelessness is the actual problem. I mean just imagine being Joe Biden or Donald trump where no one is asking you about the economy or the unemployment rate and where everyone is asking stupid questions such as What is a woman?” 😂😂 I’m not American but I can see why the rich are getting richer in your country and the poor are getting poorer! 😂😂😂 enjoy guys while you can cause soon you gonna be history like Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire 😂😂😂 bye bye
@@dcluvspie5777 should trans be excluded from comedy, everyone gets targeted in comedy, trans are no different. They want to be treated equally then shut up and take a joke.
I'm a fan of Winona Ryder , Im gIad she is back having great roles, I'm not going to missed beetlejuice 2 Hayden Christensen , 2022 -2023 he made a very successful come back in Starwars, by the way happy b day to him
Plus some more albums, none of which really hit. She’s certainly not the megastar she was before her forced exit from the spotlight. Also, she divorced her famous record producer husband after he cheated on her with her then-best friend. How do you cheat on a ten like Shania with a two?
@@darkecofreak23 that seems to be a trend with famous men. They have beautiful wives but the mistress is very average. Examples: Arnold Swarzenegar, Jude Law, mutt Lang (that was Shania’s husband for anyone they doesn’t know). It must be because they pick someone close to their family like a nanny, housekeeper, or wife’s friend. And the first two tend to be “normal looking people” in those positions.
Some of these people who cleaned up their act by getting off drugs did a lot for a lot of people. Ordinary people who were hooked got off it by following their example. . "If he (or she) did it, so can I."
Many people you mentioned just took a break. They left the limelight on purpose to rest or do other things. Therefore their careers weren't in jeopardy to begin with
Watchmojo forgot mention that Christian Shrader also voiced a crooked CIA agent in the spy comedy series Archer. 22:25 if the disinterest in Joker 2 is correct. Phoenix will have to rise a third time. He I was hoping Birdman was about a superhero turned attorney.
Having been involved with the foundation of Stranger Things, the Founder, Oppenheimer, Russian Doll, Orange is the New Black, Santa Clarita Diet and a whole lot of other items on the list (and not on it that helped some of these guys) I have to admit I'm struggling for motivation in recent years. In terms of inspiration I feel jaded and whilst I'm honoured to have helped people get their stuff together and entertain people doing it, I've been repairing, restoring and upgrading guitars and looking after guinea pigs and my parents to maintain any connection to reality. Maybe I'll find my Wonderful Life moment maybe not.
I’m surprised Stallone didn’t make the list. Doing the same thing over and over is usually a bad thing but he’s been able to reinvigorate his career despite that.
Sir Elton John helped get Robert Downy Jr. Back in the spotlight. By having him lip sync in his "I want love" music video after his drug addiction. No one wanted anything to do with R.D.J.
As a child of the eighties, RDJ is the most surprising come back for me. The fact he is even alive is a miracle. He woke up in a home he didn’t own. So many people with substance abuse and mental health issues don’t always make out the other side.
Elton John had an L.P. called 2 Low 4 Zero which had the title track,Kiss The Bride,I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues,and I’m Still Standing all on the same record from 1982. He also wrote a memorial song 🎶 called Secret Garden for John Lennon after he died. Sharen
OMG I totally agree with you your number 1. Meryl in Death Becomes Her was AMAZING. Since I saw the announcement of this video the day before, I thought to myself: "DBH is her BEST performance since Sophie's, that better be on the top of that list". Of note: this is my favorite film ever.
Elton John had "I'm Still Standing", "Sad Songs", "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" all in the 1980s and yet the albums never charted in the top 10! Crazy.

My favorite redemption story is Robert Downey Jr. He certainly managed to pull off one of the greatest 180° turnarounds! Many of the others are OK, but I'm not sure that I agree that Keanu was in a slump when he did The Lake House with Sandra Bullock. They have great chemistry together, and I love that movie!

Finally some recognition for Christian Slater. Underrated actor. I'm so glad that he got his life under control, got sober and clean!
“Saved” was a great movie full of twisted humor. Macaulay Caulkin also did an awesome job in that movie.
I agree. It goes in and out of rotation on streaming service at about the rate I want to rewatch, so it works out, lol.
Still bitter about Chaplin. Downey deserved that Oscar.
Robert Downey Jr - I loved how he said playing Iron man actually turned his life around. Which proved how influential Comics can be. 🧏🏿♂️🙆🏻♀️
It still gets to me that the scene where Tony is asking for a cheeseburger is a reference to the moment RDJ realized that he had to get clean.

He is also on UA-cam.

No. 15, his voice portrayal as Nick Wilde is still one of my absolute favorites about the "Zootopia" franchise here 🐰🦊❤️
Hopefully Johnny Depp joins the list then.
Eddie Murphy feel off peoples radar? When was this? He's always been on a whole lot of peoplexs radars
My favorite redemption story is Robert Downey Jr. He certainly managed to pull off one of the greatest 180° turnarounds!
Many of the others are OK, but I'm not sure that I agree that Keanu was in a slump when he did The Lake House with Sandra Bullock. They have great chemistry together, and I love that movie!
But Saved is a fabulous indie film, and Mandy Moore’s character was hilariously annoying.
My two all favorite comebacks, Elton John, and Robert Downey Jr.
disappointed that Brendan Fraiser was not on this list
I loved Ryan's Green Lantern!
When did you film this? You left out Rob Lowe's show Lonestar 9-1-1 and Brendan Fraser. Come on
1:45 That don't impress me much. Don't get me wrong, I think she's all right, but she won't keep me warm on a cold winter's night.
12:52 Young listeners? Damn, I feel attacked!😂😂😂
Michael Keaton is my Batman. 💙
How long ago did you do this video? For Robin Wright, you omitted her being in Wonder Woman or was that film after you did this video?
Wow, what an intriguing list! It's fascinating to see how these stars navigated challenges and managed to reignite their careers
I recognized D'Angelo for the "Always be my maybe" movie.
So these type of talented people saved their careers in the show business, meanwhile sadly other talented people couldn't.
