9. Jessica Biel Thinks She Is Too Hot For Leading Roles

Imageresult for Jessica Biel Thinks She Is Too Hot For Leading Roles

There was a time when everyone thought that Jessica Biel, the actress who got her start with the hit TV show 7th Heaven, was going to be Hollywood’s next leading lady. She seemed to have everything an iconic actress needed to make it big – beauty and talent. But Jessica’s career just seemed to suffer one blow after another. She started out well with roles in films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Elizabethtown but then she chose to do I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, which earned her a pair of Razzie nominations and did nothing for her image. Then she lost out on two major roles in The Dark Knight Rises and Les Miserables which both went to Anne Hathaway instead.

Without any meaty roles to prove his range Freddie just seemed to quietly fade into obscurity. He made his last film almost ten years ago.

But was playing the world’s most famous spy really such a good career move? After pumping out four Bond films in seven years (GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day) Brosnan’s career seemed to stall, at a time when it should have been taking off. He had a few hit and miss movies along the way; the disaster movie Dante’s Peak was, well a disaster, but he seemed to redeem himself with Mamma Mia! But from 2006 to 2013 he barely had any work at all. Is there any place left in Hollywood for this aging Bond?
