For me the biggest one is Jacob Rees Mogg. He puts the fear of God in me. He reminds me of some villain in a horror film. If I see him on TV or a picture of him I actually get the chills.

I also find a really unsettling energy about Louis Walsh and David Walliams.

@NC543210 I was the same as your friend and really open and friendly and so expected a totally different person, it was quite surreal. I was also younger then and obviously quite shy/intimidated a bit by the situation, she was awful, typical Queen bitch type, so disappointing.

Seriously-am I the only person who finds this public labelling of total strangers unpleasant, dangerous and, frankly, creepy?

Not at all, these threads are nasty and potentially damaging

Jimmy Nesbit is a lovely man

Do you actually know him?
I'm not asking to be sarcastic but genuine question because I met him once and he was arrogant and so far up his own backside it was unbelievable.

If you think Gary Lineker is creepy, have you seen his brother Wayne Lineker? Incredibly lechy and creepy night club owner in Ibeefa.

You've reminded me of another creepy beast-

Ryan Giggs 🤮

Omg yep put Wayne on that list too! 🤮 Although can he really be described as a celebrity!? 🤔 Talking of creepy bros, Andrew Tate & bro also 🤢

I never liked Sean Lock and can't explain why exactly. His humour wasn't 'nice'. Ditto Jimmy Carr, but he seems to get better with age.

Kaz40s · 13/10/2024 22:12

Oh yeah Tom Cruise 💯%. Creepy af

Kaz40s · 13/10/2024 22:11

Gary Lineker, Richard Branson, Macron, Trudeau, Bruce Forsythe & Jim Bowen ( rewatching old footage) Lenny Henry & Bono. That's all for now but a few more names will probably come to me later on 😆

ParrotPirouette · 13/10/2024 22:08

Giles Coren, horrible man, gives me the ick just looking at a picture of him

HalloweenPart10 · 13/10/2024 22:05

Yes to David Tennant, and Tom Baker too!
Also agreeing with Tom Cruise as well.
Going to add Angela Rayner…can’t stand her.

Paul Burrell… he turned out to be quite a surprise once Diana died and he was suddenly let loose, so to speak.

Desperate for fame and attention, mired in scandal over obtaining her clothes and personal items (why on earth would a butler want anything to do with a
ladies / employers personal things? ) The poor Queen having to step in to shut him up, and even then he wouldn’t bloody shut up, made it all about
“Her Majesty and Meeee” was then exposed for his own private life, seemingly dumped his poor wife and sons for the high-life in America… etc etc
Oily, social climbing liar … ugh!

One of my friends had to work with Holly Willoughby for a while and hated it. When I've asked her about it she just says " she is deeply unpleasant to everyone, and exactly the opposite to what you see on TV"

I've always thought there was a vibe coming from her that suggested she was deeply unpleasant in reality. On celebrity juice once, she made a pretty nasty comment about Fearne Cotton. I've disliked her immensely since.

MrsMillyFluff · 13/10/2024 21:57

David Attenborough, David Jason and Jimmy Tarbuck, something creepy and predatory about all three 🤢

NC543210 · 13/10/2024 21:57

@Nowandforeveridontcare my friend who mentioned it is the kind of person who sees the good in everyone (unlike me haha) So for her to have such a strong, negative opinion on someone says a lot.

She adores Noel Fielding though. She's worked with him a lot and I've seen him mentioned a fair few times on here.

Nowandforeveridontcare · 13/10/2024 21:48

@NC543210 Yup. I worked for a friend of hers (also in the public eye) but v nice. When I went to the house, HW was there, her vibe was v bitchy, dark and almost menacing. It was actually quite upsetting as I had expected someone the complete opposite as thought she was lovely on tv. She was very gossipy, very mean girl and up her own arse. She made me feel very uncomfortable and it stayed with me for a bit, really odd, exceptionally pretty though, which made it even weirder.

FeetLikeFlippers · 13/10/2024 21:47

Not very current but Elvis Presley. I can’t understand why so many people idolise him. I’ve always found him kind of weird and creepy and when people started talking about him being a misogynist and having an unhealthy interest in teenage girls, it didn’t surprise me one bit, I just couldn’t understand why it took people so long to notice.

My opinion of her did a complete u-turn when she went all woo-woo like Gwyneth Paltrow. Up until then I’m ashamed to say I bought her wholesome girl-next-door persona and thought she was fairly down to earth!

John Tarode and Gregg Wallace.
I love CMC... but those two eating ..is like 🤢 then they shout all the time.
I watch the cooking and just listen when they are eating.

The way John Torrode opens his mouth and puts in the food. 🤢🤢🤢🤢. I thought that was just me.

CurlewKate · 13/10/2024 21:39

@Feelingleftoutagain "Martin Lewis -i hate his voice and how he talks down to people just ugh"

Blimey. Are you aware of what he has actually done to help people and call out appalling government policies?

Arche · 13/10/2024 21:39

Ryan Reynolds, Meghan Markle and Jimmy Fallon. Basically people who feel like they are acting all the time or sickly sweet.

Newsenmum · 13/10/2024 21:39

Mark Zuckerberg genuinely scares me. He looks and gives off the presence of an alien. Elon musk the same. A lot of the others on here are just annoying.

Never liked Russell brand, got creepy vibes from him. And the anchorman guy. Will Ferrell? Yeah. Also Seth rogan. Sorry comedy.

Tiramisu78 · 13/10/2024 21:32

Also George Galloway is seriously creepy

Cherie Blair always strikes me as reptillian too

Absolutely agree, she gives me the serious creeps!!

Bfmamma · 13/10/2024 21:26

Noel Edmonds and Justin Fletcher 🤢

Frankie Boyle gives me the ick

I’ll second Louis Walsh too. Creepy and disingenuous.

I’ve never liked Louis Walsh, then I saw him on CBB last year and it completely cemented my opinion that he’s a horrible little man.
