Top 5 stars who made comebacks and are famous today
PEOPLE 
Tags: stars, comebacks, fame
These stars disappeared for a while, whether it was due to drug/alcohol problems or just falling out of the spotlight, but they came back and are now pretty famous once again
| | Robert Downey Jr.: After some drug issues, he kind of fell out of the spotlight, doing some small roles in movies, but everyone took notice of him again when he starred in 2008's smash hit "Iron Man" |
| | Christian Bale: After "American Psycho" a lot of people forgot about him, until "Batman Begins" came out. Now he is a top Hollywood star. |
| | Mickey Rourke: While he was in a lot of movies, he wasn't really noticed for to many roles, that is until "The Wrestler" came out, and now he is getting a lot more attention. |
| | Heath Ledger: While he will be forever remembered now as The Joker in "The Dark Knight" he was in top grossing movies before that, and yet after those movies came out he tended to fade back into the background. He never really disappeared out of the spotlight, he just didn't get as much attention as a lot of other stars until after his death. |
| | Steve Carell: "The 40-year-old virgin" sent Steve Carell into the mainstream spotlight, because people seemed to forget about him as Brick Tamland in "Anchorman." Now he is a household name with his TV series "The Office" and he is also set to star in some more upcoming movies. |
