Badasses Who Have Lost Their Bad

Stong. Intense. Intimidating. Hollywood badasses can easily create a nice career of doing action flicks. Unfortunately, some venture away from these to show their "softer" side. And unless you are a 16 year old girl, no one wants to see that.

Ah where to start?

3) Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson: After winning a national championship with FSU's football team, winning 16 championships wrestling as The Rock, and staring in a respectable amount of movies, The Rock had earned his badass title with ease. Unfortunately, this was all forgotten when he starred in last years film, "The Tooth Fairy."

Please allow me to copy an excerpt from Wikipedia describing the plot, "One night, Derek steals a dollar from his girlfriend Carly's (Ashley Judd) six-year-old daughter Tess (Destiny Whitlock) that had been left for her lost tooth. Later that night, he receives a summons under his pillow. He magically grows wings and is transported to the realm of tooth fairies."

I rest my case. The only thing The Rock should be doing "magically" is  this


2) Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Governator. Former Mr. Olympia and star of the Terminator movies. He can break you just by looking in your general direction. So why he would sign up for Kindergarten Cop is beyond me.
I'll let Wiki do the talking again, "Using his pet ferret as a class mascot, his police training as a model for structure of the classes, and positive reinforcement, he becomes a much-admired and cherished figure to the children."

I refuse to believe Arnie would ever consider having a pet ferret.
Especially a guy who can pull this off:



1) Vin Diesel: When one thinks of Vin Diesel, they usually imagine him jumping out of helicopters from xXx or driving way too fast in the Fast and Furious films. It really hurts me to have to mention 2005's family comedy, "The Pacifier." At first glance this could be ok. He must be like a rogue who has to "pacify" some evil group of criminals right? ....

You know the drill, "...and to look after the family's five children: ...The kids prove to be difficult to handle, even with the help of nanny Helga..."

At least the nanny has a badass name.

This is what we should all be seeing a lot more of (minus one of the worst comedians of all time at the end of the video).
