Hey, even A-listers had to start somewhere… so thank you IMDB for recording every embarrassing moment.
Ryan Gosling - The Mickey Mouse Club
I’m pretty sure that Gosling has a mental block when it comes to having been on this show. Which got me thinking… is it the show that brings him so much shame or is there more to this story? Could it be that one time when the Mouse Club was playing truth or dare, Christina dared Ryan go to second base with Britney and he was so scared… he made peepee? I’m just saying!
Hilary Swank - Beverly Hills 90210
Hilary was thrilled when she landed the part of Carly, a single mom who hooks up with heartthrob (!) Steve Sanders. Unfortunately she was fired after 16 episodes. She said once in an interview that after getting fired, she thought to herself, “If I'm not good enough for 90210, I'm not good enough for anything.” Hilary. You’re good enough. You have two Oscars. So you can stop playing quadriplegics and transgender murder victims just to prove a point to Shannon Doherty. It’s getting a little rude.
Johnny Depp - 21 Jump Street
Johnny’s break-out role was playing a cop who was so baby-faced he could go undercover as a high school student. Now the only way he could go undercover at a high school would be as the creepy janitor, who sleeps in the boiler room, smells like Jim Beam and yet somehow remains incredibly hobo-licious.
Jennifer Lopez - In Living Color – Fly Girl
Before she was Selena, Bennifer or J-Lo, Jennifer was kickin’ it old school as a hip hoppin’ member of the fly girls on this sketch comedy show. Apparently her hairstyle was also kickin’ it old school. Before she became the new judge on American Idol, this was her most embarrassing credit.
Brad Pitt – Dallas
One of Pitt’s first jobs was starring on this popular nighttime drama. He played a cad who broke the heart of the good girl who loved him, when he left her for a sultry bad girl. He no longer stars in soap operas… unless you count his personal life, where he once played a cad who broke the heart of the star of ‘The Good Girl’, when he left her for a sultry bad girl and her adorable brood of orphans.
Tom Hanks – Bosom Buddies
The nicest guy in Hollywood got his big break in this show about two guys who dress in drag so they can enjoy the cheap rent at an all-women’s hotel. I can see why Hanks might be embarrassed about this credit, but it could be worse…over 20 years later this is still costar Peter Scolari’s best credit. Wamp-wah, ☹!
Janet Jackson - Diff’rent Strokes
As if playing the girlfriend of Willis Jackson wasn’t horrible enough, Janet is also forever captured on film rocking some hideous fashion including what can only be described as sexy Colonel Sanders—three words that should never go together. Talk about your wardrobe malfunction!
Jason Bateman - Silver Spoons
Jason played bad boy to Ricky Schroeder’s golden boy on this 80’s sitcom classic. But the real shame is that this piece of crap aired for 116 episodes while the genius Arrested Development aired for only 53. The shame is ours America!
George Clooney - Facts Of Life
On Season 7, Clooney played hunky handyman George Burnett, whose primary goal seemed to be teaching the girls this difficult fact of life—no one as hot as George would ever get with a chubby girl named Tootie. So don’t even try it, Tootie, because it would just be embarrassing for everyone involved.
Leonardo DiCaprio - Growing Pains
Di Caprio played a homeless kid who was taken in by the Seaver clan on the season 7 of this hit show. Leo was a cutie, but everyone’s favorite was Teen Beat cover boy Kirk Cameron. It looks like Leo is having the last laugh though, because while he is one of the world’s biggest stars, born-again Kirk Cameron is making internet videos of himself sticking bananas in his mouth to prove that evolution is a hoax. Leonardo DiCaprio…Jesus’ favorite.
