2025 has already hit Hollywood hard. Fans are still reeling from the deaths of actors like Carl Weathers, Malcolm-Jamal Warner from The Cosby Show, and Oscar-winning Robert Redford. Some losses have lasted longer than others. For example, Heath Ledger’s death in 2008 still haunts the film industry today. And it seems 2025 is shaping up to be the same way. These actors have stayed in our memories. Each death reminds us how fragile life and fame can be. For fans, these deaths aren’t just headlines. They’re moments you can’t scroll past without a pause. Here are 10 actors who died in 2025 and left fans heartbroken.

Robert Redford

Robert Redford died on September 16, 2025, at his Utah home, aged 89. Redford, who appeared in over two dozen films, including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Three Days of the Condor, and All the President’s Men, was loved by many in the film industry (as you can tell by all the tributes that keep pouring in). 1973 gave him back-to-back hits with The Way We Were and The Sting, earning his only Oscar acting nomination. Behind the camera, he made history with Ordinary People, winning Best Director on his debut. Redford also founded the Sundance Film Festival. It will be a very long time before the industry will stop mourning the loss of Redford.
