Which celebrities/public figures give you the creeps?

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.

The ginger one from Girls Aloud. Sorry, don't know her name. She gives me the creeps. She looks haunted.

Isn't it weird how the same names crop up over and over. We must definitely have a sixth sense that picks up on bad vibes?

I can agree with many already posted. I dislike John craven who used to present countryfile. I used to hate that Fred bloke who did the weather on this morning too....

Or echo chamber confirmation bias from a tiny pool of people

Jim Bowen. Sorry Jim.

Russell Brand
Renee Zellewegger

In my case (even with things reported about Russell Brand) these are both just because they remind me of people I knew when younger who were really not nice people.

I think despite the same names coming up, most of us really can't tell, otherwise far fewer people would fall for abusers or scammers.

And unfortunately, I think we also get associations in our brains which I think sets us off with anyone who we consider outside of our 'normal' range - either by being too quirky looking or too perfect looking.

David Jason
Cliff Richard
Jim Davidson

I've been hearing a lot of people saying they they don't like David Jason, is this the same DJ who played Del boy or another one as I alway thought DJ was well thought of and hailed as a national treasure?
Whats made him fall from grace that I've missed?

Jonah Hill

Liz Truss is weird and creepy. She's seriously lost the plot and now sounds like some MAGA robot.

Usernamefoundunderthecarpet · 13/10/2024 08:28

Jimmy Carr. I had the misfortune of being bought a ticket to see him recently and I think he's hiding something behind his incredibly unfunny Bernard Manning style jokes.

Christ, don't let him read any Oscar Wilde or Marquise de Sade, or any other 'off' writers if you are policing books by author rather than content
How very strange

Show quote history

Ok, as I said upthread I'm quite happy to police content that reveals the truth about the tooth fairy, racially stereotypes and places evil nurses in children's hospitals.

Keith lemon gives me the creeps. Couldn't be in a room with him.

The one I actively loathe, though, is James Corden. I think he's a rude, self-aggrandizing, smug twat.

Keith Lemon is a character not a real person.

I love Noel Fielding have for years, I hope he isn't a wrong un!

I love Noel Fielding too and by all accounts he's absolutely lovely. He's definitely quirky, but I don't get anything sinister from him at all. He really makes me laugh on Bake Off too and seems great with the contestants.

I don’t really find anyone ‘creepy’ but in response to David Williams’ name cropping up so much I looked on youtube for the aforementioned ‘hide the sausage’ skit.

My God! I am utterly appalled - that is sexual assault live on stage, how has he not been cancelled into oblivion, let alone prosecuted?! Disgusting man.

Really gross.
Sometimes people tell you who they are. Listen to them.

Donald Trump is repellent from start to finish - as is his legion of challenged fans - but his voice! Urgh. Have to turn sound off if on news, massively, massively creepy and whiney. Unbearable, please don't make me listen to 4 more years of him USA.

Probably get the thread pulled to list them here, but you could start with the Controversies section of his Wikipedia page.

So interesting the same names coming up again and again many of whom I feel the same way about.

Not sure if I’ve seen Laurence Fox yet? I always feel for Billie Piper trying to co-parent with him.

Show quote history

Blimey. Just read Walliams wiki page. How someone hasn’t complained about him god knows, that’s prosecutable behaviour in front of thousands of witnesses.

Alexander Armstrong maybe its smugness rather than creepiness but I can’t stand him.
