It's human nature for everyone to make irrational decisions on a whim, which could leave lasting ramifications beyond the wildest imaginations. And, in the case of Hollywood stars, it's no exception. Glamorous and picture-perfect as their life seems, they are just humans like everyone else and are prone to making mistakes. Because they lead a public eye in the spotlight, however, their mistakes can lead to controversies or even put their career into jeopardy. Here, we take a look at famous actors who fell from grace after committing a silly action or causing some serious drama.

Armie Hammer

Armie Hammer

Born on August 8, 1986, Armie Hammer was at a time one of Hollywood's brightest gems. He started his career pretty late and only gained popularity after his roles as Oliver in Call me by your name, Clyde Tomson in J.Edgar, and Alcott in Mirror Mirror. Following the breakout role in Call me by your name, in which he stars opposite Timothy Chalamet, Armie Hammer became one of the most sought-after Hollywood stars.

Cannibalism claims

Hammer could possibly have risen to the rank of A-list celebrity had it not been for several gross allegations aimed at him. The charming actor had been living such a great life with his wife Elizabeth Chambers since 2010, having everything from money to fame, before he was revealed to have violently abused his partner. With several allegations of BDSM, rape, and cannibalism fantasies that went against the girls’ consent, he destroyed his career and was dropped out of several screen projects.
