Every good actor usually has at least one dud on their resume (except for John Cazale). So what do you consider the worst movie by your favorite actor or actress?
Mine...
Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis
Movie: Nine (an overwrought mess)
Jeremy Irons - Dungeons and Dragons
shareClive Owen - Beyond Borders
shareRobert Downey Jr in Doolittle. Like wtf
Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet & Emma Stone in Movie 43. How the f**k did this movie even get greenlit?!?!?!
Doolittle was a straight-up cash grab by RDJ.
Apparently, the same was true for the odious Movie 43.

What has stunned critics, however, is the depth reached, and the star wattage of those plumbing it. Asks Edelstein: "Was someone holding Kate Winslet's children hostage? Threatening to release compromising pictures of Emma Stone? Did Richard Gere or Hugh Jackman have gambling debts?"
Yet in theory you can see the logic in signing up. Many big names enjoy their biggest pay days from back-end contracts, which involve them taking a percentage of the film's profits in return for equity rates up front, and a small initial commitment (in this case, a couple of days, for about $800). If the film flies, they clean up. If it doesn't, it'll probably be buried anyway.
George Clooney, Laura Dern, Charlie Sheen; not exactly favorite actors, I've just seen a number of their movies.
The movie - GrizzlyII: Revenge (1986 & 2020); it has a rating of 3.4
It was the first acting gig for all three. Clooney said he only did it to get his Screen Actors Guild card. All three also die within roughly the first 15 minutes of the movie. I only posted this here because I see the movie and its backstory as one, big, entertaining piece of movie trivia.
