Is Mike Myers<\/strong> planning a comeback? One report says the Shrek<\/em> star wants to return to the big screen, but his bad reputation is destroying his chances. Gossip Cop<\/strong> investigates.<\/p>\n

\u2018His Rep Precedes Him\u2019<\/h2>\n

According to Star<\/em>, Myers used to be on top of the world. After the unmitigated disaster of The Love Guru<\/em>, he\u2019s largely disappeared. With his Netflix series The Pentaverate<\/em> on the way, he\u2019s on the precipice of a breakthrough. Sadly, his reported diva behavior has not gone away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was Mike\u2019s chance to change people\u2019s perception of him, but he was still prickly and cool around set,\u201d an insider says. The cast and crew apparently walked on eggshells whenever Myers was around, and former co-stars have called him \u201crude\u201d and lamented experiences on his films. There are even stories about him supposedly requiring a person on set to give him chocolate whenever he desires.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, Myers has burned professional bridges as well. A deal with HBO in 2015 went nowhere, and he\u2019s sued studios before as well. An insider concludes, \u201cHe\u2019s known as a total diva. It just doesn\u2019t pay to annoy him \u2014 ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Going On With Mike Myers?<\/h2>\n

This story acts like Myers disappeared in 2008. The Love Guru<\/em> is one of Hollywood\u2019s great bombs, but Myers is moving on. He\u2019s popped up on his old Saturday Night Live<\/em> stomping grounds many times. He\u2019s had supporting roles in Inglorious Basterds<\/em> and Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em>. Throw in a Super Bowl ad for Hulu and Myers starts looking like an in-demand performer.<\/p>\n

Mike Myers has powerful allies in Lorne Michaels, 20th Century Fox, Netflix, and David O. Russell. Myers is set to star in the latter\u2019s upcoming film as well. It sadly doesn\u2019t really matter what his reputation is: He\u2019s still in demand, and a new Austin Powers<\/em> or Wayne\u2019s World<\/em> would undeniably get made if he felt like it. A rep for Myers denies any issues on the set of Pentaverate<\/em>, so this story doesn\u2019t have a leg to stand on.<\/p>\n

Other Shocking Rumors<\/h2>\n

Star<\/em> does not have a good track record when it comes to Myers. In 2019, it claimed he and Vin Diesel would play D&D together. While both are fans of the tabletop game, that never happened. Gossip Cop<\/strong> would love to see Myers in a Fast & Furious<\/em>, but that\u2019s neither here nor there.<\/p>\n

Myers is in some high-profile company now. Some actors but far more actresses have been slammed by this tabloid for supposed \u201cdiva demands.\u201d Christina Aguilera, Anne Hathaway, and Caitlyn Jenner have all faced similar allegations, yet their careers are still intact. This is nothing more than a tropey story relying on incidents from decades ago.<\/p>\n
