7. Ansel Elgort
Ansel Elgort became a teen heartthrob with *The Fault in Our Stars* (2014) and cemented his status as an action star in *Baby Driver* (2017), followed by Spielberg’s *West Side Story*. He was on the fast track to leading-man superstardom.
In June 2020, a woman accused Elgort of sexually assaulting her at 17 (when he was 20) in 2014; other women shared stories of inappropriate behavior. Elgort denied non-consensual acts, claiming the relationship was consensual. He stepped back from promotion, and major roles vanished. Once a guaranteed box-office draw, he’s been largely absent from big screens since.
