Why Hollywood Won't Cast Cuba Gooding Jr. Anymore

Рет қаралды 106,198

Күн бұрын

There was a time not too long ago when Cuba Gooding Jr. was on top of Hollywood. The ‘90s were good for him - he appeared in a number of critically acclaimed films, including A Few Good Men and As Good as It Gets. The actor took home a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1997 for his role in Jerry Maguire.
But the good times didn’t last for Gooding. The early aughts brought a series of misfires, and the actor was almost completely relegated to a direct-to-DVD wasteland. It might have something to do with his problematic personal life. Here’s why Hollywood won’t cast Cuba Gooding Jr. anymore.
