celebrity is a tough business all around and the pressures of fame and wealth can

be too much for some actors to handle. While these are problems that most

people with envy these actors might beg to differ

they came close to derail in their careers but we're glad they were able to

rebound back into the spotlight

Natalie Portman. Natalie Portman has never really left the public eye

but she sees it differently

she told New York magazine " I was in the biggest grossing movie of the decade and

no director wanted to work with me" which makes it sound like most of Hollywood

agreed with a hate that hardcore fans have to the Star Wars prequels.

" I can't fight a war for you"

"Jar, Jar Binks"

"Me sir, ya highness"

"yes"

I need your help

but with the help of some friends in high places she bounced back a series of

roles in movies like Cold Mountain

Garden State, Closer and Black Swan. Now Portman is once again considered one of

Hollywood's top actresses

she appeared in the first two Thor movies and her role in Exmachina

director Alex Garland of Annihilation suggest she still knows how to

pick a script.

Paul Reubens, you probably know him is Pee-Wee Herman and the scandal that

derailed his career has been a punch line for years. In 1991 Paul Rubens was

arrested for "indecent exposure"

inside an adult theater because of apparently most watched adult films for

the thrilling plots. In the fallout from the incident CBS stopped airing reruns

of Pee-wee's Playhouse and Rubens retreated from the public eye for many years.

After years out of the limelight,

Ruben's reclaimed his famous character donning the gray suit and red bowtie

once again for the 2016 Netflix film, Pee-Wee's Big Holiday

Nearly 30 years after the character's last major film, Big Top Pee-Wee

The new release was positively embraced by fans and critics alike.

Robert Downey jr.

He had promising beginnings in a number of critically acclaimed big-budget films

not to mention a stint on SNL but Robert Downey jr.'s sudden fame, mixed with an

undiagnosed bipolar disorder, resulted in a number of drug and alcohol related

arrests in the late nineties

After cleaning up his act, Downey started to roll out the hits, appearing in

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Gothika, A Scanner Darkly and Tropic Thunder. He's most known for his ongoing

lead roles in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock home series and

in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is Tony Stark also known as iron Man

nothing like staring at multibillion-dollar franchise to

pull you out of a little personal slump,huh?

Mike Tyson. The terrifying Tyson didn't start his career as an actor but founded

renaissance is one

known best as a boxing champion, Tyson's controversial life is included multiple

accusations of violence against women

longtime drug and alcohol abuse. "But I knew when I was in that court and

when I was gonna get that verdict, the verdict was gonna be guilty."

and biting off a chunk of Evander Holyfield's ear in their 1997 rematch.

after retreating from the public eye in shame

Tyson found a new life by appearing in the Hangover from 2009

Since then he got his own cartoon series,Mike Tyson Mysteries.

Holyfield and Tyson appeared together in a post-credits scene during the 2013 boxing movie,

Grudge Match

you can also catch Tyson taking on martial arts and action star Donnie Yen in Ip Man 3.

Drew Barrymore. Child actor Drew Barrymore's career was almost over before it began.

After starring in the nineteen 1982 hit E.T. at age seven

barrymore became notorious for abusing alcohol, marijuana and cocaine

by her own admission,starting at the age of eight

Fortunately, thanks to rehab and the unlikely help of a family friend

"I have to live with David Crosby for two months, which is crazy

because David has his own problems"

I know he is he was an interesting character.....in itself."

Barrymore found sobriety and started her wildly successful second act

starting movies like Scream,The Wedding Singer and Never Been Kissed

Barrymore also focuses on her family and charity work while appearing in ads

as one of the faces of Covergirl

but that doesn't mean she's slowing down in terms of acting despite the fact that

she only took four roles from 2009 to 2016 because

if she could come back from being a teenage addict and

the train wreck that was Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle

she can come back from anything

Fred Willard. Comedian and actor Fred Willard's

career was marked by nothing but funny movies... until his 2012 arrest for a lewd act

in an adult theater.The arrest cost him his job hosting Market Warriors but

Willard was quick to recover after an honest interview on late night with Jimmy Fallon

in which he showcased his legendary sense of humor

Jimmy, what do you want to talk about first

Ya know, let me say this,it's the last time I'm gonna listen to my wife when

she says why don't you go out and see a movie"

Since then he's appeared in

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

Fifty Shades of Black and a handful of television roles

and most likely discovered the joys of "private browsing mode"

Mickey Rourke, former boxer and semi-reluctant actor.Mickey Rourke enjoy the

successful career and till he was arrested for spousal abuse in 1994

after assaulting his then-wife Carre O'tis

oh yeah, and he was responsible for getting her accidentally shot

in the chest once -

just a guess but he probably didn't get a World's Best Husband mug that Christmas.

As a result, Rourke almost gave up the spotlight completely,returning a boxing,

then to acting,then to the boxing again

Wait, is he boxing in a kilt? Anyway he bounced back to acting for good

with a lead role in 2005 Sin City

"Let's go"

This major return which he had attributes to his manager and his dogs

, led to Rouke appearing in The Wrestler

Iron Man 2 and The Expendables.

Rob Lowe, in the age of the Kardashians

it's hard to remember that a sex tape could once ruin someone's career and

Rob Lowe had one of the first. Only a few years into his career-Lowe was filmed with at least

three different women.One of whom was barely above legal age

sparking a wave of media controversy

when the tape was made available for sale against his will

Lowe quickly recovered, thanks to the apparent indifference of Hollywood

and a willingness to own up to the situation.

During the years since he rebounded from a scandal

Lowe as appeared in dozens of movies,including the Camera Diaz and

Jason Segel movie, Sex tape, which was a nice meta joke in the form of stunt casting.

Even more impressive, his television resume spans hundreds of episodes

across dozens of noteworthy shows including the likes of The West Wing

Parks and Recreation

Californication, Moonbeam City and The Grinder.
