    Does Steven Seagal still fit here?

    Dr. Phil?

      Was Steven Seagal ever relevant? I mean besides the “so trashy that it’s occasionally fun”, guilty-pleasure type of relevance he briefly enjoyed in the 1980s?

        Hence the question! I mean I feel like he had a certain relevance in his prime. Every now and then he pops up shilling for some crazy right-wing cause… or as a Sheriff’s Deputy. Similar to Dr. Phil going out on ICE raids.

    Half the 2000s Silicon Valley star executives seem to be there. Mark Zuckerberg even dresses like he’s in a Limp Bizkit cover band now. They’re not irrelevant due to money/power but they aren’t culturally relevant anymore and are seemingly all having a collective midlife crisis.

        You should read his wiki page–quite the rollercoaster from tax evasion, Wimbledon commentator, professional poker player, to prison.

          I wouldn’t call tax evasion and getting locked up as seeking relevancy but you do you.

            Hes even participated in Jungle camps to stay relevant

            https://www.hellomagazine.com/film/812463/celebrity-bear-hunt-boris-becker-knee-surgery-struggling-exclusive/ and…

            In May 2009, Becker announced the launch of online media platform Boris Becker TV. The website, in English and German, features clips from his career and footage of his daily life.[49]

              Now these are reasons. I agree. Participating in reality TV trash like Dschungelcamp is a cry for attention.

              Tax evasion and getting arrested isn’t.

    Gwen Stefani. She just has that ‘i promise I’m still cool’ desperation to her. She used to actually seem cool.

    Tom Hanks.

    I am still mad over the travesty that is the Sully falsification. I’ve heard enough about his ‘bizzare’ Elvis performance, and his unnecessary rambling in the newer Disney Pinnochio to feel certain he should’ve retired years ago.
