15 Worst Roles Of Hollywood’s Most Legendary Actors

If you're a hardcore movie fan, chances are you probably can guess which movie is great and which isn't just by looking at the list of actors. Names such as Morgan Freeman or Anthony Hopkins almost always mean it's a great film. We say almost because there are times when even the most talented stars cannot save a bad role or a bad script in general.
Yes, some movies are doomed from the start, no matter how many A-list stars you see on the credit. Everybody makes mistakes, and accepting these parts might be the biggest mistakes of these celebrities. Here are the 15 worst roles of Hollywood's most legendary actors.

1. Sir Patrick Stewart As The Poop Emoji in the Emoji Movie

Who the hell thinks of the idea to let a legendary actor like Sir Patrick Stewart play the poop emoji. THE POOP EMOJI. He is a great Shakespearean actor who is exceptionally talented, and you let him play the literary sh*ttiest role in the movie!?

2. Al Pacino As Himself In Jack and Jill

Al Pacino plays as himself in this movie, which makes us sad because his part is so flat and boring. None of his scenes really make the audiences laugh and he just sticks out like a sore thumb! This movie isn't for him and he can do so much better than this. The film was a disaster, but at least the Dunkaccino commercial at the end was good though.

3. Adam Sandler as Jack and Jill Sadelstein in Jack and Jill

As we said before, Jack and Jill is just a bad movie. Adam Sandler can play some pretty funny goofballs, but his characters in this movie are just terrible. Neither Jack nor Jill are good characters. They're just jerks in different ways.

4. Robert De Niro In Dirty Grandpa

Dirty Grandpa is just pure cringe. Viewers can not even finish it. It's like the bad parody of a bad comedy movie. De Niro is totally wasted in this film.

5. Meryl Streep As Mary Fisher In She-Devil

Meryl Streep can nail any role she plays, but not this one. It's not entirely bad, it's just not at the level that we expected. We get so used to her wacky but good comedies that we automatically set the bar higher when we see her name. Her performance in this movie can be better.

6. Emma Watson As Sam Button In The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Her performance was fine, but her American English accent was horrible. Any interest you might have had before just went out the window as soon as Watson started talking.

7. Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Eddie Redmayne, and Every Other Actor in Jupiter Ascending

This movie is just bad. They have a bunch of talented actors but none of a good script. It's a total waste of time and money for everybody who makes it and for the people who watch it too.

8. All The Actors In Cats

No matter how many big stars they get, the movie crew just can not save this film. It's unsalvageable. It's so horrible! All the actors must be forced to take these roles through some kind of big blackmail plan. The creator of the original play is so traumatized by this adaptation that he has to get a dog as a form of therapy after watching it.

9. Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey in 50 Shades of Grey

Everyone knows that Jamie Dornan become a popular actor after 50 Shades of Grey, but that doesn't mean it's his best movie. Actually, it might be his worst performance. If you want to see how brilliant his acting can be, then watch The Fall instead.

10. Natalie Portman as Isabel in Your Highness

It's hard to think about an Academy Award-winning actress when you watch Natalie Portman's performance in Your Highness. The movie is a freaking stoner comedy! And the most bizarre thing is that this mess happens just about two months after Portman wins her Best Actress Oscar for Black Swan.

11. Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. John Dolittle in Dolittle

Robert Downey Jr. won an Oscar for his role as Chaplin and should have gotten one for his performance as Iron Man. However, his next role as Dr. Dolittle has very little success. His accent in this movie is just bad and overall, it's one of the worst films of 2020.

12. Ben Kingsley as Guru Tugginmypudha in The Love Guru

Why Ben Kingsley accepted the role of Guru Tugginmypudha in The Love Guru is still a mystery until this day. The whole film is a mess. It's disgusting and boring, and it isn't even funny enough to become a joke for us to laugh about! It's a shame that Kingsley is in this movie.

13. Saoirse Ronan as Melanie Stryder/Wanderer, aka Wanda in The Host

This is by far the worst role Saoirse Ronan has ever played. It's not her fault though. The movie was doomed from the start with such a predictable and boring script. Tried as hard as she might, but she could not have saved it.

14. Kate Winslet as Jeanine Matthews in Divergent

Kate Winslet is no doubt a very talented actress, but her talent is completely wasted in this movie. Her character is very predictable and has no depth whatsoever. Her acting isn't the problem here, it's just that there is nothing in this role for her to play!

15. Tilda Swinton as Dianna in Trainwreck

This movie is not bad, it just doesn't fit Tilda. We're so used to her playing characters that are one of a kind, so it's kinda a huge letdown for a lot of us to see her as a stereotypical boss bitch with a spray tan and a pencil skirt.
Those are the 15 worst roles of Hollywood's best actors and actresses. Speaking of poor choices, there are times when iconic movie stars are so poorly cast they ruin the entire thing. Instead of turning the movie into a masterpiece like how the director wanted, they just did the complete opposite and destroyed it.
