7 Famous People Who Basically Disappeared

Getting a big break as an actor in Hollywood is arguably the pinnacle of an actor's career, and it can lead to so many exciting opportunities. It also brings an actor more time in the spotlight than they are usually accustomed to.

Sometimes that takes away from the time and energy it takes to hone an actor's craft in order to stay at the top of their game. So, it’s not surprising that some actors shun the bright lights and fame because they'd rather focus on other parts of life.

We’ve compiled a list of famous people who disappeared from the limelight even though they were at the top of their game. Want to know who they are? Watch to find out!

Which of these stars would you like to see make a comeback soon?

[eminemdrehybrid]

Joe pesci is and always will be a LEGEND

[adhc]

Gene Hackman - who I adore - is 88 years old. He didn't mysteriously disappear from acting!

[emilytoole]

Gene Hackman, one of the best actors ever, has simply retired.

[fumblerooskie]

FFS Hackman is 88 years old and Connery is 87. Let them rest.

[charlesspurgeon]

Joe Pesci the best of the lot, a superb actor, fine to the point of brilliant.

[jamesdunn]

Sean and Gene just got old. Both earned their retirement.

[classiclistener]

Gene Hackman and Sean Connery will both be eighty-nine years-old in 2019, and, they're both living-legends, so, they'll never really disappear...ever! :)

Kudos to Rick Moranis. His heart is in the right place. God bless them.

[RobertSmith-bzug]

Gene Hackman was well over 70 in his last movie, , , that's not disappearing.. same goes for Connery, , , it's called retiring.. lol

[lisalisa]

Pesci could return. I would buy a ticket for any movie he is in.
His acting, I feel is worth it.

[anthonyevans]

sean Connery is 87 years old leave him alone

[neilburns]

That was very sad news about what happened to Rick Moranis with regards to his wife dying of cancer.

But he's chosen to stay home and bring up his children which he deserves a lot of credit for. I am glad that he's happy doing this but I also think it would be nice if Rick himself were to find someone new.

[creepofreek]

I miss Joe Pesci on the screen. But lets face it, he is old as is Sean Connery, these guys made thier money, and don't have anything to prove .

[boaty.mcboatface]

Joe Pesci's Snickers commercial was the funniest one ever. "Oh you must be supermodels. Whaddya model? Gloves?" LOLolol

[davidjackson]

In the case of Sean Connery and Gene Hackman they've each got about 50 years experience so they could retire whenever they liked.

[ChicaBuenosAires]

Sean Connery did not need Lord of The Rings nor The Matrix, he was already a legend by that point so who cares if he turned them down

[ARedGinger]

I'm not seeing anyone talk about how Sean Connery said it was ok to "slap a woman with an open hand " on Barbara Walters. I think that might have hurt his career a little.

[shayesims]

'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' is one of my very favorite films! I don't know why people hate it so much. And I agree with a comment from someone below, leave Hackman and Connery alone with some much deserved peace at their age.

Two words for Joe Pesci’s decline —“Gone Fishing”. I think it took out Danny Glover too. Anyone who can sit through that the whole way without wanting to jump out the window deserves a medal. 🏅
