There's an old adage that warns how time is promised to no one. You can be here today, gone tomorrow, with nobody left to mourn you or remember your name.

That sentiment bodes double when you're a celebrity in Hollywood. So with that being said, let's have a look and see which of our favorite celebrities disappeared out of thin air.

Reddit User Kaiguy Young_Old_Grandma Has Nothing But Fond Memories Of Josh Hartnett.

Josh Hartnett became a household name in the '00s thanks to performances in Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, and 40 Days and 40 Nights. He appeared poised to become Hollywood's next leading man but inexplicably backed away from the camera at the height of his fame. He had a brief but memorable resurgence playing Ethan Chandler in the cult series Penny Dreadful, but since then his body of work consists mainly of arthouse pictures and low-budget TV series.

Reddit User Bobpetersen55 Often Wonders Whatever Happened To Chris Tucker.

Back in the early '90s, the world was Chris' oyster. His box office hits consist of some of the decade's most hilarious films — including Money Talks, Friday, and the Rush Hour franchise, wherein he starred opposite legendary stuntman/actor, Jackie Chan.

However, Chris has seldom been seen since the early 2010s. His last film of note was 2012's Silver Linings Playbook and he had a rather forgettable performance in Billy Lynne's Long Halftime Walk.

We Haven't Heard Anything From Pop Artist Nelly Furtado Since The Early '00s.

Much like her breakthrough song suggests, Nelly decided to be like a bird and chose to fly away from the trappings of celebrity. In the early '00s, her songs were played on every radio station and her music videos were constantly topping the charts on Much Music and MTC, respectively. To this day, if Promiscuous comes on in the club, I still feel compelled to dance and sing along to every word. A quick aside: her work with Timbaland is as close to perfect as it comes.

Cameron Diaz left an indelible impression in the minds of countless young men with her debut performance as Tiffany Carlyle opposite Jim Carrey in The Mask. From there, she launched into the upper echelon of fame and superstardom — thanks to films like The Holiday and There's Something About Mary. Cameron's last film was the much-maligned remake of Annie, and since then she's become something of a Hollywood specter, opting instead to embrace the quiet life at home with her family.
