10 Actors Whose Craziness Got Them Kicked Out Of Hollywood
10. Katherine Heigl
Katherine Heigl's career pretty much started out with TV's Grey's Anatomy, before somebody, somewhere took it upon themselves and said: "Hey, she's both pretty and nice; let's make her into a movie star," which is what happened - for about five minutes. After appearing in Judd Apatow's Knocked Up, Heigl decided to badmouth the movie during its release (despite knowing what it was about and already agreeing to star in it), which served as something of a death sentence as far as certain producers were concerned. But maybe it was a mistake on her part, right? A mere slip of the tongue? Nope: Heigl's rant against Knocked Up turned out to be anything but an isolated incident as the next few years offered up more and more bouts of Heigl-related craziness, in which the actress felt it necessary to complain, bitch and moan about every movie she was in - to the point where said antics led to her being labelled as "super difficult." Now, she's struggling to find major roles in Hollywood movies, and her supposed "comeback" series, State of Affairs, just got cancelled. Not looking good, Heigl.
