WTF Happened to JOSH HARTNETT?

Josh Hartnett was the biggest heartthrob of the late nineties. Bursting onto the scene in Robert Rodriguez's The Faculty, his status was reaffirmed by Halloween H20 and Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides. However, his career hit its stride in the early 2000s when he became a leading man in movies like Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor, Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down and more. Yet, towards the middle of the decade, his career started to cool after a string of flops. He disappeared from the scene for a few years, only to return in the cult series Penny Dreadful. Recently, he's seemed on the cusp of a significant comeback following a scene-stealing turn in Guy Ritchie's Wrath of Man, with him set to star in the follow-up, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, while he's also in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. Join us in this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity as we dig into his surprisingly epic career.

When I lived in L.A I saw him in wine store in West Hollywood. He was much bigger than I thought, and not going to lie, the most handsome man I have ever seen. I just nodded at him and gave a big smile, he just politely nodded back. I like to think he appreciated I didn't try to talk to him.

This is an easy one - he walked away. I don't think we can blame anyone for not wanting to be mega famous in the early 2000s - it was a terrible time for those people. He saw other famous actors having their lives ruined and said "nope". He turned down by Batman and Superman, which would have paid him $100 million. Interesting career.

Josh is such a talented actor, and he deserved to have a more high profile career. I'm glad that "Penny Dreadful" is keeping him in the spotlight for a modern audience.

It was his choice not to have a more high profile career though and you have to respect that.

He was just okay and its not about deserve. No one deserves anything. He chose to not have a hectic no privacy life style. Im happy he chose to take the chance living the American dream.

I met him during the Pearl Harbor Premiere on USS John C. Stennis back in May 2001. A very nice guy,.

We noticed him days before the Premiere on the flight deck doing interviews and in-between talking to crew members. I was surprised at how tall he was.

[@FPwLola]

I feel like Josh Hartnett's career is a testament to diversifying really early on. If he had done more indie stuff and spaced out the big budget ones he could have dodged the pressure and pipeline that so many good looking actors are stuffed into that burn them out ultimately. I'm glad to hear he's still doing what he loves and on his terms. That's what all actors want in the end, imo. The Faculty and 30 Days of Night are my faves of his, the ones that felt in his wheelhouse. Thanks for another one! 😉👌

[@mgariepy42]

Watch some of his indies. Lucky Number Slevin excepted. Bunkaru, Inherit the Viper, August, Penny Dreadful series, O Lucy! Just this year, The Fear Index series, Black Mirror S6, and Oppenheimer.😊

[@nbt2310]

Surprised at how much this video undersells the pop culture impact of Pearl Harbor. That was the most coveted role in Hollywood and Hartnett was basically crowned the biggest young actor in Hollywood when he won it. The movie was one of the most anticipated films of all time when it opened - it was 3rd highest opener ever and would have challenged the opening weekend record had it had a normal release (it was released over a Holiday against heavy competition). Affleck/Bays' reputations absorbed nearly all the hate towards the film while Josh Hartnett's popularity blew up. Pearl Harbor made Josh Hartnett an overnight superstar who was more in-demand than his costar Ben Affleck for most of 2002 onwards. Nobody was offering Ben Affleck $100 million to be Batman or Superman.

[@darnellmajor9016]

Just because it's a popular movie it doesn't mean it was a quality movie.

[@BlackJeansxx]

@@darnellmajor9016 That wasn't the point of N BT's comment.

[@mgariepy42]

We just watched Pearl Harbor The Director’s Cut. His performance is terrific. Better than anyone else’s. We watch the film on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Still confused why film got bad reviews. It’s a love story set in war time, not an historical education. 😖

[@robertknapp7938]

Josh was killing it back in the late 90s and early 2000s, he was my favorite character in The Faculty as Zeke, Scat guaranteed to jack you up.

[@roltthehunter]

He is a successful actor who is still successful. That sounds about right. I mean I get the point of this video. I am 31 so I remember him and I always thought he was amazing and I was very surprised when he kind of disappeared. But now as an adult, I think he is one of the lucky ones who really knew who he was and didn't try to force himself into shitty positions. It takes a strong character to turn away from greed to follow your passion. Josh Hartnett seems like he will continue to be successful in life and I am proud of him on a human level for that.

[@daysofapril2667]

[@dklounge7082]

How about WTF Happened To Michael Keaton, Michelle Phieffer, Anna Paquin and Mila Kunis?

[@DNOstalgia]

Keats rules!

[@a_legitimate_salvage]

I still love Wicker Park. It got billed as a thriller but really it was a twisted romance. The performances and soundtrack were absolutely enchanting.

[@TechGamesAU]

The Faculty is one of my favourite movies to this day.

[@mojomike]

Bless your soul for giving us 21 mins of Josh Hartnett

[@shermswarthau5366]

Pedowood personalities are about as deep as a bird bath so that horrendous hair style in Halloween H-20 probably did him in,kinda like Agent Orange. JH's career was killed in 2000 and he didn't even know it.

[@sethkaicer319]

He's at home consoling himself with his paychecks.

[@nbt2310]

To answer the question - Batman Begins make a lot more money with Josh Hartnett in the leading role simply because he was much more popular than Christian Bale at the time. The Superman role he turned down was for an unmade film written by JJ Abrams which was much more commercial Superman Return. It would have probably been a big hit too.

[@cjolly5]

good for Hartnett. love he is a family man as well as an actor who chooses his roles based on family needs .love the faculty and so many others he is an awesome actor!

[@shelle3944]

I love him so much ! So blessed to have seen him on screen.

[@PeterZeeke]

I took a shot everytime he said Josh Hartnett. I'm writing this from intensive care

[@roxy5588]

Josh is such a great actor. So underrated.

[@kobrakitsch877]

Four words. HOTEL ROOM STOMACH FLU. Your welcome, JoBlo.

[@JayTaylor3dollarfilms]

He's kinda the man. Has a fam, a sexy wife, solid career. I think he did well.

[@starsofgold1506]

I really love 30 days of night and the faculty Josh is a smart guy he just wanted to be in movies but didn't want the kind of fame that meant he would need bodyguards and not being able to go out in public and just be normal. He's a great actor also loved Halloween h20 wish he would do some more horror movies

[@devinharbert6071]

Josh Hartnett is one of my Favorite Actors he’s very a Underrated I Love Lucky Number Slevin, 30 Days Of Night, The Faculty, Halloween H20, Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, Hollywood Homicide, Sin City, And Bunraku

[@bb.cute.channel]

Is he related to Tommy Lee Jones? He looks like him!!!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@Rudy_86]

I can absolutely appreciate that he was more concerned about his mental health, and his family.

[@christinearmington]

Penny Dreadful was spectacular, horrifying and resplendent.

[@PugFeist]

Bunraku is on my watch once a year at least list. I haven’t seen all his movies but that one is made so much better for having him in it.

[@mgariepy42]

I have lent out that dvd a half dozen times and had a hard time getting it returned! It is one of his very best performances in a wild, beautifully shot film with Woody Harrelson, Ron Perlman and Demi Moore having a fun fest tongue in cheek. Loooove it!

[@devinharbert6071]

Oh Come On Pearl Harbor wasn’t that bad I would say it’s one of my Favorite War Movies Cause there’s there’s a lot of Worse Films Of 2001 like Monkeybone, Freddy Got Fingered, Ghosts Of Mars, Little Nicky, Town And Country, Biodome, And Master Of Disguise But I Completely Understand why Kate Beckinsale probably hates Pearl Harbor Cause she Hated working with Michael Bay

[@Foreriverricky]

If he could pull off a cajun accent I think it be a treat to have him as gambit in the mcu

[@mgariepy42]

He’s done a Scots accent (The Lovers) and a Yorkshire one (Blow Dry). That latter film is a hoot! Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy, and Natasha Richardson shine and Josh is solid among them!

[@nassmatic]

Another great video. Thanks. Please do WTF Happened to Bridget Fonda? Thanks again.

[@jamesmorant1406]

Thank you so much I've been waiting for this one josh is such a good actor the 2000's was like his peak then he took a hugh break now he's back

[@AfriKenJedi]

The Faculty, Lucky Number Slevin and 30 Days of Night are my favorite of his movies.

[@juanruiz325]

I think a good one would be “Wtf Happened to Emile Hirsch.” The guy had a bright future ahead of himself and then he kinda faded.

[@Damon242]

From what I recall, he was arrested after assaulting someone at a festival and that tainted his career

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

@@Damon242 damn foreal smh

[@andrethegiant2877]

I went to high school with him. Was kinda nerdy, hung out with the girls more than the guys. I remember being like "that guy is gonna be a leading man in Hollywood?" What? I hope it works out for him. Also grew up Nick Swardson, I think his career ended up being better than Josh's. Hope for the best for both those guys, represent the twin cities.

Damn wow what school y'all went to
