3) Nick Nolte

Once a leading man of television and film, Nick Nolte began his career as a model, being named a Clairol Summer Blonde boy in the 1960s. He went on to play a series of leading man characters in the ’70s through the ’90s, always looking cool, blonde, and upper class. His patrician good looks made him an easy choice for the romantic parts, as well as any generic hero character that came along. Unfortunately, like many stars, Nolte started having problems with drugs and alcohol.

It’s never a good mix, especially for anyone who relies on his looks to get a job. Nolte has spend the last fifteen years looking seedier and older, gaining weight and losing his once-great physique. His flyaway hair, now almost completely gray, spawned a comical meme with one of his mug shots, flying away from his head as if he’d been electrocuted. It’s a slippery slope downhill, and Nolte’s sitting on a saucer sled and spinning around.
