Being famous sounds like it only has good sides. You earn lots of money, you’re drowned in positive attention, everyone knows who you are… but not all things are as they seem. Even celebrities can get into trouble, and much like the good things in life the bad ones are also massively amplified when you live a life of fame. It doesn’t have to be a career breaker though, but you can say goodbye to ever wanting to keep dirt on the down low.
Here’s a few celebrities that got into some legal trouble, but overcame them.
Robert Downey Jr.
Before he was Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. was mostly known for the guy that got caught with several illegal substances and went to rehab. He’s now one of the most popular actors on the planet and generally an all-round charismatic fellow.
Woody Harrelson
In fact, Woody even started his career with legal issues. Right before he started in the TV show Cheers he was arrested for disorderly conduct. And by that, we mean he was dancing in the street and resisting arrest. Sounds like a Woody Harrelson thing to do, doesn’t it?
George Michael
Perhaps the most famous of celebrity brush-ins with the law, George Michael got caught in a public bathroom as he was engaging in some naughty activities. This was before people knew he was gay, and also led to his coming out.
