20. Pirates of Silicon Valley 1999, Martyn Burke

Post616 Piratessilicon

I love this movie! It tells the tale of the start of Microsoft and Apple and has a brilliant cast who do a great job of portraying their characters.

This is a list of celebrities who have destroyed either their career or their reputation through foolish actions - intentionally or unintentionally.

10. David Hasselhoff

Hasselhoff-Drunk

The star of Bay Watch has recently been suffering with alcohol abuse and in 2007 his daughter released a video of him drunkenly trying to eat a Wendy’s burger whilst arguing with her on to the internet. The result was that Hasselhoff lost custody rights to his daughters temporarily and lost all respect. In 2006 he was refused access to a British Airways flight due to drunkenness though his publicists insisted that he was not drunk, but rather unwell from taking antibiotics. Yeah right.
