10 Huge Hollywood Actors We All Loved (But Now Hate)

9. Reese Witherspoon

We Love You Moment: Legally Blonde (2001) Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon was marked as a rising star following her great turn in the underrated Freeway, playing Texan trailer trash in an updated road movie version of Little Red Riding Hood released in 1996. The following five years saw her star in Fear, Cruel Intentions, Election and American Psycho as she slowly but surely built a career as a talented and versatile actress. She found worldwide fame following the release of Legally Blonde in 2001. The role of Elle Woods, loveable blonde sorority girl-cum-brainiac was tailor made for Witherspoon and she smashed it out of the park. Industry topping pay cheques and Oscar glory followed. America had found its latest sweetheart. witherspoon reeseWe Want A Divorce Moment: Drunk & Disorderly (2013) There are some things all famous people should be careful not to do to. For example; telling the world what a nice young man the leader of North Korea is when you're an ex-basketball player with the intelligence of a sprout. At the top of the celebrity no-no list however is getting caught on camera uttering the immortal line 'Don't you know who I am?'. Getting caught on camera saying a variation of that to a Police Officer (while absolutely bone-soaked) is about as wise as taking style tips from Dennis Rodman, but that's exactly what happened to Reese Witherspoon. Following the release of the arrest video the whole world saw the actress at her worst, petulant and self-important, but the situation was amplified by the fact that she had made so many box office bombs in the years leading up to the arrest. The following were all critically and commercially panned; Rendition, Four Christmases, How Do You Know and This Means War. Unfortunately for Reese, this all means America now needs to find a new sweetheart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9fwe_NEerE Chances Of Getting Back Together: She was illegally bombed but if she can walk the line who knows.
