Even in ancient times, people believed in the existence of fate. The ancient Greeks, for example, worshiped the goddesses of fate, Moiras. They believed that these maidens, personifying inevitability and chance, weave human destinies around the clock, and nothing should distract them. Otherwise, the thread gets confused, breaks, and people's lives also come to an end. In the modern world, people do not fatally believe the stars, but for sure you would have started to bypass a black cat. Representatives of different professions also have their own tricks, how not to tempt fate and achieve success. Hockey players, for example, never shave before a match, and models start their fashion shows with a certain leg.

Artists also have such signs. It is very bad, they say, if the script involves the depiction of a dead man or the shooting of an actor in a coffin. Maybe, of course, this is fiction. But today's heroes really repeated the fate of their heroes in real life, and not in the best possible way.

Robert Downey Jr

When the famous "iron man" began to appear in the film "Less than Zero", he did not expect that everything would turn out in this way. The picture tells about young people who lead an idle lifestyle and use illegal substances. Downey Jr. was so successful in playing his role that not only critics admired his work, but experienced drug addicts also appreciated it. They admitted that in certain situations they behave exactly as the actor embodied on the screen.

Of course, people in this profession often try to experience what they have to play in practice. Robert also tried to do this, especially, as they say, he was familiar with marijuana from the age of 8, and not without the help of his father. But sometimes it is one thing to indulge, and another - to really get hooked. In this case, too - work on the film is over, but drug addiction is not.

For many years, the actor tried to get rid of the addiction. Because of her, many film studios broke contracts with him, he became constantly featured in scandalous chronicles and was even sentenced to imprisonment. A Los Angeles court sentenced Robert Downey Jr. to serve a 16-month sentence and compulsory treatment for possession of cocaine, heroin and weapons. In addition to all these troubles, his wife Deborah Falconer, with whom they had a common son, left him. The actor rolled down almost the same as his character from the film. Everyone turned their backs on him, and Robert even tried to commit suicide.

However, fate changed again - Downey met a new love and was able to pull himself together. After that, we see a new career ascent of the actor and a happy personal life.

David Duchovny

Work for seven long years on the TV series Californication did not reflect on the actor David Duchovny in the best way. He adopted from his character a love of alcohol and increased sexuality. The actor began to lead a riotous life, although before that he was distinguished by moderation. The press began to write about his numerous novels, and he changed girls, as they say, like gloves.

He once studied at Princeton University in the Faculty of Education and dreamed of becoming a writer. And now participation in the film, where he played the role of a writer-womanizer, and for which he received the Golden Globe Award, beyond recognition changed the character and life of the actor. The actor publicly admitted to being hypersexual. At the insistence of the wife of actress Toy Leonie, David underwent treatment in one of the private clinics, but this did not change the situation. After seventeen years of marriage, the wife filed for divorce.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

We are used to seeing Angelina Jolie as one of the most beautiful actresses. At the same time, in 2015, Angelina presented the film Cote d'Azur to the audience, where she not only played one of the main roles, but also wrote the script herself and did all the director's work. The plot of the film tells the story of a married couple from New York who, in search of peace and new sensations, go to the south of France. Of course, their relationship for several years of marriage is far from ideal. Along the way, they meet a sensual French couple, and a dangerous passion arises.

By inviting her husband Brad Pitt to play the role, Angelina predetermined their own marriage. Soon after the release of the film, it became known that the Jolie-Pitt family was going through not the best period in their lives. The public was shocked by the high-profile divorce proceedings that ex-husband and wife began in 2016. In 2019, the court officially terminated their relationship.

Anatoly Papanov

The film "The Time of Desires" (1984) became fatal for the legendary Soviet actor Anatoly Papanov. His movie hero is an intelligent man of a creative profession, but due to the changed conditions of life and a large amount of stress, he dies of a heart attack. In real life, Anatoly Papanov, an actor and theater teacher, laureate of numerous awards, also avoided the hustle and bustle and career ambitions were completely alien to him. He devoted his whole life to his work and died when he returned home after a day of shooting.

In August 1987, he starred in the film "Cold Summer of 1953", and when he returned home, he died right in the shower. Afterwards, doctors established that the cause was cardiovascular failure - the actor had been complaining of heart pain for a long time.

Konstantin Khabensky

The plot of the film "Women's Property" is based on the love of a young man for an actress who turns out to be hopelessly ill. Ironically, this tragedy is repeated with the actor who played the main role. In real life, the wife of Konstantin Khabensky has a terrible accident. After that, she is diagnosed with a serious disease - brain cancer.

The actor supported his wife as best he could, paid for her treatment at the best clinic in Los Angeles. But the woman avoided serious treatment for fear that chemotherapy could harm the child, whom she was carrying under her heart at the time. As a result, the baby is born healthy, but his mother cannot be saved. Constantine survived, one might say, all the circles of hell, fighting for the life of his beloved woman, and then mourning her. “Of course, this is fate,” the reader will say. But such a fatal coincidence is rare.

Igor Talkov

Tragedy claimed the life of a popular singer when he was only 34 years old. Before that, he starred in the film "Beyond the Last Line", where his character was shot in the heart. Igor was persuaded for a long time to take these shootings, but for one reason or another Talkov refused. As a result, his presence on the screen was minimized, although a lot of footage was filmed.

The singer himself already had a presentiment of his death and once, calming the passengers worried about the shaking of the plane, he said not to be afraid. In his opinion, he will die alone, but with a large crowd of people, and at the hands of a killer who cannot be found. And indeed, at the October concert at the Yubileiny Sports Palace, the singer was shot.
