15 Celebs Who Haven’t Realized They Aren’t Famous Anymore

2. Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen is not new to the highs and lows of fame and stardom. He has had an ultra successful career as Charlie Harper on Two and a Half Men before he was ultimately cut from the show for his bizarre antics. Being fired didn’t get him down, however, as it only started his outrageous Twitter rants and YouTube videos in an effort to keep the fans informed. It was the meltdown of all meltdowns that won the headlines for months and then: nothing. Silence. Rumours even spread that Charlie Sheen was dead. Once known for a promiscuous lifestyle, often bragging about just how many women he has slept with, made a public announcement that he was in fact HIV positive. This, of course, would come to a surprise for many, including the many women Charlie had been sleeping with. This brought his name back into the spotlight, but it wasn’t exactly the right material to keep it there.

Charlie is still very active on his Twitter account, but with his fame surely coming to an end, we’re not sure how long the fans will be tweeting him.

1. Tom Cruise

Once known as the male heartthrob for every action movie, box office thriller, and more, Tom Cruise is now just a memory of Hollywood’s past. For someone who is continuously working, it seems a little strange that Tom Cruise isn’t exactly making headlines for his fantastic work. This is probably because he is a hardcore Scientology devotee. You wouldn’t think that his religious beliefs would have anything to do with his fame, but with a religious group so extreme, you would be surprised about what members are and are not allowed to say.

Despite his current work, his strong beliefs to the religious group could definitely be a reason the fans aren’t like they used to be. Tom Cruise’s ex-wife, Katie Holmes, even divorced Tom in an effort to protect their daughter, Suri Cruise, from Scientology. Let’s face it, Tom’s beliefs, as valid as they may be, don’t exactly make him the most relatable celebrity in Hollywood, and it’s safe to say that this might be the reason for his dwindling fame.
