Buffoon1980 . I don't blame you a bit. I used to love going to the movies but Hollywood no longer makes movies that I like. Nowadays it is the same old, same old. I love the Golden Age of Hollywood when a lot of innovations were done, storylines were clever and witty (of course, there were always crappy movies), and there weren't too many sequels. Actresses dressed beautifully as well and not half naked. Today's Hollywood is not inspiring but boring with exceptions here and there. Thank goodness my grandparents introduced me to wonderful films when growing up.

Aging in Hollywood is difficult, no matter your nationality. There's a window when you're too old for the young parts and too young for the old parts that is hard to break through, especially for the big budget films. Whether your Liz Hurley singled out as a sexpot, or Gerard Butler playing the ripped action star, the demand lessons when you're 40 or 50. Look at Bruce Willis. Some of the others (Orlando Bloom, Catherine Zeta-Jones) came to stardom in supporting roles or ensemble casts but couldn't lead a film to success on their own. Why would you expect Hollywood to keep casting them?

@OrealLove 5 жыл бұрын

wanderer79 I agree with some of what you said and I’m going to include black actresses in that category as well but....That’s not true for black “aging” actors, mainly because they aren’t having the same problems with getting roles as other actors their age. Look at Jamie Foxx, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Don Cheadle and Terrence Howard, all over 45 years old and have stellar careers right now

A lot of these actors have chosen to focus on other things or have turned down big hollywood roles even because they want to do more interesting work. Hollywood has become a big blockbuster machine that is focused less on smaller budget or even middle budget movies. Most hollywood projects have less interest in character or story. Frankly, I think it's smart to be cast in one or two big hollywood movies, do well and get your name out there. And being financially stable from it doesn't hurt either. You can have the freedom to pick and choose the roles you want to do.

Hugh Grant's "charms" left the building when he turned 50, LOL, he is irritating although he is doing Brit television. In short, most of these people are not really mysteries, Hollywood, these days, concentrates on CGI fueled cartoon movies that call for far younger actors sadly.

Liz Hurley made however a great Queen in The Royals. And like somebody else said, TV shows are mostly much better than all the trash that Hollywood produces these days. I really seldom even watch movies and mostly just prefer TV shows.

Hugh Grant is worth about $100 million and he does what he wants to do. I doubt he's particularly interested in Hollywood and as he's aged he's displayed a lot of talent. He's a very intelligent man and doesn't seem unhappy with life.

@@peterd440 Funny that omfug mentions that "Grant's charm has left the building" when he's having a massive renaissance right now. His roles in A Very English Scandal, Florence Foster Jenkins, The Gentlemen, and The Undoing is proving him to be a very capable actor. Brilliant in his recent roles. Besides, Grant is much more focused on Hacked Off.

“Carried” Kingdom of Heaven? I’m pretty sure the (presumably few) fans of that film try to enjoy it in spite of the fact Orlando Bloom was cast as the lead.

Orlando is a very good British actor, he has done a lot of independent stuff as well as Hollywood stuff. I'm desperate to watch Carnival Row - I hear it's very good.

Clive Owen is an amazing actor and deserves more roles.

I like Clive Owen and I believe Rupert will be like Ron, we haven't seen anything yet. Give him a few years and he'll do a kick ass movie with a kick ass role.

I just love the way you say some of these people won't get cast anymore... because they don't want to be. What? Couldn't actually come up with 10 but decided to do the list anyway? Business as usual at WatchMojo, eh?

Children of Men was incredible largely because of Clive Owen.

My only question is why is there a separate channel for the U.K.

Who cares what Hollywood thinks any more. They only care about their one sided politics. I love all these British actors and actresses you mentioned. Much better than many or most of our American ones

Television is being successful. George Reeves was in Gone with the Wind 1939 before he appeared as Superman on Television in 1952, George Peppard in Breakfast at Tiffany before Banachek and The A-Team, Buddy Ebsen also in Breakfast at Tiffany before The Beverly Hillbillies and Barnaby Jones. Michael Douglas in movies which names I forgot before Streets of San Francisco and many movies which names I remember since. Lucille Ball was in movies before she did I love Lucy, The Lucy Show, here's Lucy, and so on. Her and husband Desi also ran their own studio.

Clive Owen ain't no washout in my book. I saw him in the TV series The Knick, and he was superb. Oh, and I'm an american.

Ageism is alive and well in Hollywood.All of these multitalented people have come such a long way in their careers they can pick and choose what films, t.v., theater,etc that they want to be in(example being Gerard Butler's lead performance as The Phantom in the musical The Phantom of the Opera").Many don't want to live in the US either and some have retired/ semi-retired to raise families or spend time with grandkids(having missed out on their own childrens' growing up while away making movies').I still believe that they all have the ability to create/be part of great movies but want to do things in their own way and in their own time.Some may prefer creating/directing movies instead of being in them.
