21 Pictures Of Celebrities Who "Disappeared Out Of Nowhere," And If I'm Being Honest, I Completely Forgot About 50% Of Them
by Sarah Aspler · BuzzFeedWhen Reddit user u/drmaxtherabbit recently asked, "What celebrity disappeared out of nowhere?", the responses slapped me in the face with nostalgia.
Here are the top-voted celebrities:
1. "The musical group known as LMFAO."
2. "Mischa Barton. She was on The OC in the '00s, then nothing."
3. "Judge Reinhold. That dude was in pretty much everything once upon a time, and now you never see him in anything."
"This guy is ''80s movie dude' for me — Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Beverly Hills Cop, and so much more. When I was a kid in Europe in the '80s, he was the standard who defined what American people sounded and acted like."
4. "Enya. I hear she made a fortune and now lives in a castle somewhere. Iconic."
5. "Erik Per Sullivan, aka Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle."
6. "It will always be Thora Birch for me."
7. "Mena Suvari. She was in the American Pie and American Beauty movies — also the 'Teenage Dirtbag' music video."
8. "Richard Simmons."
9. "Julia Stiles. She did all those movies in the mid-2000s and then gone."
"She was in Dexter in Season 5, but that was still so long ago."
10. "Gotye. Dude made a single song and just became somebody we used to know."
11. "Leelee Sobieski. She was popular in the '90s and early 2000s."
12. "Jonathan Taylor Thomas. JTT! Where he at?"
13. "Eliza Dushku."
14. "Josh Hartnett. He used to be really big."
15. "The band called Fun."
"The guitar player Jack Antonoff is maybe one of the most in-demand producers right now."
16. "What ever happened to Seann William Scott?!"
"He's on a sitcom named Welcome to Flatch."
"I used to bartend in New York City and met a ton of celebrities over the years. Seann William Scott was by far the nicest and most gracious of all of them by a mile. Such a cool dude."

17. "Jason Lee from My Name Is Earl."
18. "Josh Hutcherson. He was such a sweetheart and heartthrob. I wish his face appeared more frequently in the industry."
"Watch Future Man! It's fantastic and he's hilarious in it. I was prepared to hate Peeta Mellark in a comedy, but he's got chops. The show is a little slapstick, but it's also just really good from beginning to end."
19. "Meg Ryan."
20. Tom from Myspace.
And finally...
21. "Lou Bega, who sang 'Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of…)'."
"Maybe he's working on 'Mambo No. 6.'"
