Hollywood is the perfect place to rise from the ashes

If there’s one thing Hollywood is passionate about, apart from discovering talents that pop out of nowhere and bubble up, it’s giving ostracized actors second chances at glory. As they say, in the city of Angels you fall upwards and nothing likes more than the return of an old glory to the top because it demonstrates and connects the shared feeling in which you can always win again. This “Rocky effect” is that several actors took advantage of to rise from their ashes.Michael Keaton or the return of the Dark Knight “Birdman” (Regency Interpraises) After being an iconic actor for Tim Burton with the two installments of Batman and Bitelchus Keaton did not have a large number of known projects during the 90s, Quentin Tarantino’s Only Jackie Brown was a prominent title in that decade for the actor, who years later would chain inferior films for what he himself was in the 80s. Game 6, Herbie: A butt, A different daughter … the beginning of the 2000’s was a period battered by critics, but in 2014 her salvation appeared: Birdman or (The unexpected virtue of ignorance). In it he played an actor who had played a winged hero in another time, in which as an actor he had some fame. Keaton starred in this story with certain autobiographical overtones in which he was nominated for an Oscar. Later would come titles such as Spiderman: Homecoming and Spotlight, roles that would confirm his rise from the ashes.Matthew McConaughey Too handsome to be a good actor? “Dallas Buyer Club” (Voltage Pictures) In the world of entertainment and acting, being a beauty icon is a double-edged sword.Matthew McConaughey began his career with notable titles such as Time to Kill and Contact, but then he spent 8 years hopping from one romantic comedy to another until the interesting roles for him disappeared. The Innocent, Mud and The Boy from the Newspaper proved that he still had a lot to offer, but he definitely made his leap to the elite in 2013 with the Dallas Buyers Club and his Oscar for Best Leading Actor.Mickey Rourke, the literal wrestler “The Wrestler” (Searchlight Pictures) Rourke’s retirement was entirely voluntary. He wanted to dedicate himself to his other great passion, boxing and it didn’t go bad at all because in the time he was competing he was unbeaten. The bad? A combat destroyed his face and he had to undergo surgery. Rourke had lost his work tool during the 80s, a beautiful face of which he was a true mass phenomenon. Darren Aronofski’s film, The Wrestler earned him an Oscar nomination that allowed him access to castings for major blockbusters such as Iron man 2 (although he denies it) Christian Slater “Mr. Robot” (USA Network) He was a recurring actor in the 80s and early 90s. Roles such as The Name of the Rose catapulted him to fame and Love point-blank transformed him into a true big-screen rebel. Slater would be chaining several supporting roles in minor works. This time, the rising from the ashes would come from the television series Mister Robot. The success of the series came from a shared role with Rami Mlek.John Travolta “Pulp Fiction” (Miramax) The story of John Travolta’s resurgence is that of a fairy tale, but contrary to tradition this time it was the princess who saved the prince.The princess in question was Diana of Wales and the Palace, The White House at a reception orchestrated by Ronald Reagan. Travolta came from being an icon in the 80s, but he went through a time when no one called him to work. Princess Diana was a huge fan of dancing and asked to dance with the actor. The image of both was a media boom and the next day the phone would not stop ringing, first it came Look who’s talking now! And then the movie that everyone knows: Pulp Fiction.
