Everybody Can’t Handle The Spotlight: Celebrities Whose Fame Literally Drove Them Crazy

- By

Dave Chappelle

Like the other two comedians on this list, Dave Chappelle didn’t reach the peak of crazy until he achieved a certain level of success. For him, that point was in 2004/2005, before production of the third season of his highly acclaimed “Chappelle’s Show” was set to begin. During a standup comedy act in 2004, the star expressed his concern over the direction of the “Chappelle’s Show” before losing it and calling his audience “stupid.” But he wouldn’t fully lose his mind until months later in 2005, when he walked away from a $50 million contract to so famously take that trip to South Africa for no particular reason.
