10 Actors Who Hopefully Killed Their Careers In 2015

2. Jamie Dornan

Here's a guaranteed way to hurt your career and ensure that a large chunk of Hollywood will never take you seriously: star in a sex-filled adaptation of a reviled book that does dubious publicity for the S&M community and has such a vitriolic fanbase that the original star, Charlie Hunnam, quit before shooting began. Sure, there's only so much you can do with lines like "Laters, baby", but the guy doesn't have a single well-reviewed movie in his filmography (the highest being Marie Antoinette at 55%, though he had a fairly small part), and signing on for Fifty Shades pretty much signified he was more interested in the payday than having a respectable movie career. Credit to the guy, though, he's appearing in upcoming films from directors such as Alexandre Aja (The 9th Life of Louis Drax), Jon Favreau (The Jungle Book) and Sean Ellis (Metro Manila), but he's also got at least two more Fifty Shades movie to come over the next few years, so any good work he might do will likely be drowned out by the inevitable cringe that comes with starring in this wretched trilogy. Probably the best thing he can do is ride the wave of awfulness, take a year or two off after the final Fifty Shades movie comes out, and then stage a comeback once they begin to fade from the collective audience memory. He's still a young guy, after all.
