It is very difficult to be seen all the time. Some get their heads turned and others get in trouble with the law because of their pride.

Here are the five actors who found it challenging to deal with their overwhelming fame.

Tobey Maguire

The former superhero rose to fame with his role in the Spider-Man franchise. However, the actor found it difficult to cope with the immense popularity that came with the role.

He once admitted that he struggled with the attention and pressure that came with being part of such a huge franchise.

Maguire has also been known to be a bit of a recluse, avoiding the limelight and staying away from the public eye. After the Spider-man movies, we rarely see him on the big screen.

Wesley Snipes

The Blade star used to be one of the most popular actors in Hollywood. However, his career took a turn for the worse when he was sentenced to prison for tax evasion.

Since then, Snipes has struggled to make a comeback in the industry, and his once-great path to fame has been marred by legal troubles.

Lindsay Lohan

The Parent Trap actor was a promising young star in the industry. However, another case of personal and legal problems. Lohan has a long story with her addiction and has had several run-ins with the law.

While she has attempted to make a comeback in recent years, her troubles have continued to overshadow her career.

Macaulay Culkin

Once again, a great role in an incredibly popular movie that still has an audience.

Behind the fame was the following addiction, but at some point Culkin just got tired of the cinema, started acting less, created his own band and recently became a model.

So today Macaulay is enjoying his life, while his brother Kieran is building the career and continues to act, albeit in small but good projects.

Mel Gibson

Undoubtedly a good director and actor who shone over all of Hollywood at the end of the century. His career took a hit when he was caught making anti-Semitic remarks during a DUI arrest.

Gibson was blacklisted for a while, but the success of Hacksaw Ridge gave him the unforgettable experience of being nominated for an Oscar again.
