These Celebrities Caused The Downfall of Their Own Careers

Mike Myers

SNL actor Mike Myers is known as one of Hollywood's go-to funny guys. With roles ranging from Shrek to Cat in the Hat, and Austin Powers, there's not much his range can't account for. Word on the street, however, is that he's not exactly easy to work with. He was apparently very offensive toward Indians and Hindus while on the set of The Love Guru.

The Spy Who Ruined His Career

The Austin Powers franchise is arguably what Myers is best known for, aside from his SNL sketch Wayne's World. However, that legacy was easily tarnished after The Love Guru allegations came out, and now he sort of just lives as a mildly successful comedy actor today with few projects on deck.
