10 Embarrassingly Poor Performances From Usually Great Actors

1. Robert DeNiro - The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle

http://youtu.be/epZxUhCE5l8 Excuse me a moment while I just go spit the sick out of my mouth. DeNiro, one of the greatest American method actors to ever step in front of a 35mm camera, willingly reduced to a total, unadulterated parody of himself. Honest to god, watching the clip above, it almost feels like I'm watching a f***ing pod person perform; that the real DeNiro is in fact stored in a tube somewhere underneath Hollywood against his will. In many ways, that scenario would in fact be less depressing than admitting the truth: that Robert DeNiro has fallen from grace. No, I'm being too harsh. DeNiro is still great. When he wants to be. Apparently as a child, DeNiro was a huge fan of the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons and so agreed to it as a sort of pet project. Why not? He's DeNiro, he can do whatever the f**k he wants. Still, any fan of the legendary method performer will cringe, furrow their brown, might even shed a solitary tear at how far the mighty have fallen, should they ever sit down to willingly watch this movie, willingly or otherwise. So there are our picks for ten embarrassing performances from otherwise brilliant actors. Anything you'd care to contest? Do let us know, eh?
