Which well known public figure would you say is washed up and desperately trying to cling to relevance? (No politicians)

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.
Russell Brand
Washed up yes, what is he hocking to try to cling?
Religion, to try and dodge sex abuse charges
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.
Jared Leto
Yeah fuck that guy, what a total piece of shit.
Isn't that the actor that hat had an actual cult following?
JK Rowling and Jeremy Clarkson.
Gwen Stefani. She just has that 'i promise I'm still cool' desperation to her. She used to actually seem cool.
Boris Becker
He was one of my favourite tennis players...what did he do? Haven't heard anything about him in years.
You should read his wiki page--quite the rollercoaster from tax evasion, Wimbledon commentator, professional poker player, to prison.
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.
