5. James Franco – The Disaster Artist

Recent allegations of sexual misconduct have done James Franco no favours where his image is concerned, and this is an actor who seems to have had a knack for falling in and out of public favour over the years.

The latest controversy comes at a time when Franco has changed many people's perception of him as an actor with his chameleonic portrayal of The Room director Tommy Wiseau in The Disaster Artist.

Franco seemed to disappear into the character while portraying him as an eccentric loner with a burning desire to create, and he pulled no punches when it comes to displaying the uglier aspects of Wiseau's personality.

The Pineapple Express star has been been tipped for an Oscar for work in The Disaster Artist, although the movie's pre-awards buzz has been overshadowed by the allegations he's facing.
