He tried to sell out with his weird music site or service? There used to be a commercial for it all the time. He probably didn't spend a lot and can live off interest and come back as a great supporting actor in late 40s or 50s.
Honestly, 20s and 30s are hard for men who only want to work in film. Zac and Ansel are testaments to it. Brad, Keanu, and Tom are 50s/60s are still playing action heros.

I think what happens is, short guys with boyish looks get work as long as they can plausibly play high school students or twenty-somethings, but once it’s obvious that they are in their late thirties or older, they’re gonna lose mature roles to more manly looking men.

If we're speaking career-wise... well, I'd say he probably peaked in relevance from about 2009-2013 with films like (500) Days of Summer, Inception, Looper, Lincoln, The Dark Knight Rises, 50/50, and his well-received directorial debut Don Jon. Looking back that's a respectable run.
I'm going to assume that his people tried to capitalize off this heat by putting him in Oscar buzzy roles like The Walk and Snowden, but no one liked them and they're basically these two embarrassments hanging off the end of his career so far.
Like others have said, it seems like he's devoted a lot of his time to Hit Record, which... I don't know... I remember him talking about that like a decade ago, and it was just this cute side project this actor had, and even then it never really took off... so I have no idea if it's actually popular.
Anyway, he gave a Ted Talk a few weeks ago.

I think something changed when his brother died. He did all the movies that were lined up for him, but seemed not interested to sign on for new ones. Some sort of midlife crisis triggered by the death of his brother?

He's got 4 movies lined up, according to IMDB, so it looks like he's making his way back into the spotlight.

JGL was a part of my celeb fantasy list as a young teenager. Along with Orlando Bloom, Devon Sawa, Aaron Carter, Bill Kaulitz, David Gallagher, Kevin Zegers and a few others.
And mysterious skin was definitely a part of my coming of age. I rented it from Blockbuster along with L. I. E., and I thought I had to hide both tapes in my room haha.

His face is very flat, which is probably what squished his eyes making him Asian looking. Flat faces come from mothers who can't be bothered to turn infants. Poor guy was probably horribly abused as a child.

[quote] He tried to get a Sandman adaptation going for ages, which never happened, thank god, he is totally wrong for the role
He was going to direct it as well, which worried me me the most. He probably could've pulled off playing Dream, but the director needs to be someone with vision. They are now making Sandman as a Netflix series with Allan Heinberg as a showrunner and Goyer and Gaiman producing. Heinberg wrote the Patty Jenkins Wonder Woman film and has been producing various TV shows and animations. At one point Supernatural's original showrunner Eric Kripke was to be the showrunner but thank God they let him go. Still, Sandman is such a huge story that adapting it to another media is hard as hell. And judging by the stories I've read Gaiman being involved directly is not necessarily a good thing. I've understood American Gods turned into a bit of a mess after he became involved but obviously I know nothing about it directly so I could be wrong.
Back to Joseph. I so wanted him to be a new Batman, or Robin, after The Dark Knight Rises. Nolan clearly was laying plans for the future at the end of the film but it was too bad nothing came out of it.

R1 is correct. He's 38 now, and small and delicate, at that age the leading roles go to manlier men.
So if he wants to stay in film he has to gracefully transition into character roles, playing the rat-faced co-worker who has all the good lines rather than the guy who gets the girl. Or he can step back and enjoy life as a wealthy youngish man for a bit, or do a series. So he's chosen a series, apparently, because the offers for film leads aren't coming back.

Yes, and 90% of the shit Lainey posted has been fake. JGL clearly prefers "passion projects" (including HitRECord and supporting roles in films like "Inception") to mainstream fame - and btw he's on the *extremely* short list of child actors who not only grew up in a normal fashion, but actually made a success of themselves as an adult actor. (Consider how many other male actors his age either faded into total obscurity or ended up ODing or the like.)
[quote]Honestly, 20s and 30s are hard for men who only want to work in film. Zac and Ansel are testaments to it. Brad, Keanu, and Tom are 50s/60s are still playing action heros.
Zac has done rather well for himself with the "Neighbors" films and others. Ansel has had several hits, but then had the misfortune of being tainted by the single WORST performing film in cinematic history: the Kevin Spacey-helmed "Billionaire Boys Club." Considering he's not even 25 yet, he has more than enough room for a comeback.
As for the other three: in case you missed it, Brad all but DISAPPEARED for most of this decade until the past few months, thanks to all the Brangelina drama. Keanu had largely faded as well before he lucked out with "John Wick," and is now decidedly back on top thanks to the new "Matrix" movie that's been announced. And Tammy Cruise has had almost ZERO success outside of the "Mission: Impossible" franchise, and has now resorted to desperation-level shit like a fucking "Top Gun" reboot. As if a 58-year-old FIGHTER PILOT is even the slightest bit believable! They've already announced the next two - and probably final two - "Mission: Impossible" movies will be shot back-to-back for release in 2021 & 2022, and after that point I think Tammy will quietly retire to some Co$ commune with Xenu or something.
Finally, Michael Pitt fucked HIMSELF - namely by making all the diva demands that ended up getting his character literally killed off of "Boardwalk Empire." I'm not sure he's even *worked* since then. And please: if JGL is still being involved to give TED talks at this juncture (!!), it's very safe to say he has a considerable fan base remaining (and is also a smart, well-spoken person in general).

What are you babbling about Miss Rona Barrett? Brad Pitt made many movies including "World War Z" "12 Year A Slave", "Fury" "Moneyball" from 2010 and beyond all the while producing Academy Award winning movies like "12 Year A Slave", & "Moonlight".
