1.
Lorde… what happened to her?!! u/parrapa_el_rapero
2.
Ellen DeGeneres. After being exposed as an asshole, she doesn't get talked about much as of today. u/Squirrelkid11
3.
James Franco vanished u/TurbulentPromise4812
4.
Kevin Spacey, back when House of Cards was popular. u/theassassintherapist
5.
Lil Pump. J Cole told him exactly what would happen to his career and lo and behold, it did. u/creepysink77
6.
Iggy Azalea. Although I guess going the Only Fans route is a "comeback" of sorts, maybe. u/mongo_man
7.
Elon Musk used to be quite well liked online. Watching him squander the goodwill and basically become one of the most despised executives in modern history has been fascinating to watch. u/Remote_Screen9395
8.
Demi Lovato was the second most Googled person of 2018. Seems much less popular now.u/Unleashtheducks
9.
Kanye. His antics finally overshadowed his music to such a degree that there was no coming back, at least for now. u/nhthelegend
10.
Taylor Lautner. He’s just kind of faded into oblivion u/BrizzelBass
11.
Macklemore. Seems like no one talks about him anymore. u/OgreWithLayers
12.
Shea Lebouf u/Notowidjojo
13.
More than five years, but I remember when Dane Cook was doing standup and movies and was a pretty big name…where is he now? u/apk5005
14.
Katy Perry. I don't think she's had a megahit for years. u/astarisaslave
15.
Johnny Depp. Whatever your feelings about Amber Heard and her accusations, Johnny’s time opening movies has passed. I think he’ll move into supporting character roles to help build younger actors, much like Nicolas Cage is doing. u/cupidslament
16.
Kim K imo. She can’t accept she’s aging and tries too hard to appeal to younger audiences. u/ruby-paz
17.
Ruby Rose may have been more like 8-10 years ago, but they were in everything. u/Chuck1983
18.
Zac Efron He kind of fizzled out after Baywatch. From what I heard he actually left the states for a while because he didn’t like how the fame changed his personality, he’s also expressed anxiety about his looks after transforming for the Baywatch role. u/megamilker101
19.
Sam Worthington. Avatar was supposed to make him into the new leading man in Hollywood. He had a few movies and he still pops up but I feel like I don’t see him very often and he’s not that great an actor u/Background_Power_843
20.
Zooey Deschanel. I haven't seen anything from her in years. xBIGxBADGERx
