Robert Downey Jr is the obvious case of a person who had a redemption arc, to simplify it he was a promising actor that got addicted to drugs, fell off, went to rehab and then became a huge hollywood big stsr known, even known for being Iron Man.
What real life person had a redemption arc?
Robert Downey Jr and Rob Lowe seem to both have gone from ridiculed “problem” actors to loved favorites.
Elton John, was alcoholic, is now sober since a long time.
Danny Trejo
Steve-O from Jackass
Jimmy Carter was always a nice guy, but a hapless president. His reputation improved substantially after he started doing work for Habitat for Humanity. He was no longer the guy chased by a swamp rabbit while out fishing; he was a humanitarian, doing his damnedest to serve the community.
Yeah, nah mate.
He’ll always be a war criminal who increased funding and arms to Indonesia while turning a blind eye to their genocide of the Timorese.
Fuck Jimmy Carter from the bottom of my heart.
Elon Musk. Started as a likeable tech billionaire but eventually redeemed himself to the right wing fascists and extreme edge lords.
I just want to know what the actual fuck happened to him. I know a lot of people will say he was always a man-child and there’s some things to back that up for sure. But I swear COVID does something to some people and they just turned into complete unredeemable asses.
Alfred Nobel invented dynamite (among several other explosives). The story goes that he read his own obituary and was called “the merchant of death”, and so left his fortune to found the Nobel Prize and leave a better legacy.
Is Ozzy Osborne clean? He might be one.
Depends on the day. Lol
Depends on the time of day.
Lol OK, I don’t follow his news enough to know!
Well, he did get rid of Sharon Osbourne, so it’s a good start.
For anyone who has followed League of Legends esports since the very very beginning, doublelift. There was a subreddit called /r/doubleliftstrophycase that sat empty for YEARS because he never managed to win anything despite trash-talking everyone in the scene (and admittedly a lot of individual talent). But then he started winning, and he didn’t stop winning. He’s now without question the most storied player in North America, and people refer to him as “the main character of the LCS.” A true legend.
Granit Xhaka ❤️
I don’t know anything about him, do tell
