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.

So many...
Tennant - ever since he started playing baddies so chillingly convincingly....
Kevin Spacey - similar and then watched docu about allegations

Walliams, Trump, Musk, Brand, Vine, Johnson etc

Jim Carrey, I don't know why, I find him soon creepy. Maybe as the first film I saw him in was The Mask, which is creepy anyway.

And my local MP is super creepy, she has a weird high pitched fake laugh

I can't bear him either. Except in the Grinch, because you can't see him, and in the Truman Show, because he's not trying to be funny in it.
I think it's because I saw a clip of him popping up behind a woman breastfeeding on a park bench in one of his films, and leering and gurning at her and it completely freaked me out. I was 4 months pregnant and probably hormonal.

Oh also Ant and Dec

FiveTreeHill · 12/10/2024 19:51

There's people that give me the proper creeps:
David Walliams, Stephen fry, Leo decaprio, Elton John, Cliff Richard, Jim Carey, Simon Cowell, ant middleton, Jay Z. Lots already mentioned. Also Noel fielding I really like but he makes me feel a bit iffy

People that are known to be unpleasant men: Johnny Depp, Russel brand, Peter Andre, Philip Schofield

And people I think would be vile if you gave the impression you didn't like them: David Tennant, James Corden, Ellen DeGeneres, Taylor Swift Lots and lots in this category tbh

But I reckon most people who end up properly famous are not that nice.

Justin Fletcher, can't explain why tbh.

Yes Mr Tumble ughh. Even worse as himself on Something Special.

Also Noel Fielding. Creep.

Must say I love these 2 guys 😍 😂

Show quote history

It’s odd, because I see the appeal. Neither of them are ugly. I can see how some women find them attractive. But they just scare me 😂

What a horrible thread.
Where do you all get off on judging people you've never met?

Nothing judgemental here.

Donald Sunderland always gave me the creeps. Can't watch any film he's in <shudders> no idea why 🤷‍♀️

@Projectme Watch things like "The Dirty Dozen" and some of the Hammer-style things he made when he was based in the UK for the quintessential mad as a cut snake Donald Sutherland.

Skyrainlight · 12/10/2024 17:23

Tony Blair, his smile always made me think of the snake in the jungle book.

Yes!

AgnesXNitt · 12/10/2024 18:32

Donald Trump.

Completely repellent and I have no idea how anyone has ever or will cast a vote for him. He makes me feel physically ill when I lay eyes on him - like a full nervous system reaction. I also don't agree with Republican policies but this is something different.

I feel exactly the same way about him. Hair on the back of my neck stands up when I see him on tv. I find him repulsive

Sarah2891 · 12/10/2024 19:34

Oh I forgot to add Kevin Spacey. He always creeped me the hell out even before the allegations. Serial killer vibes.

WalkingaroundJardine · 12/10/2024 19:30

Nigel Farage

Jeff Goldblum. Really creepy.

And I wouldn't be surprised if they discovered Judy Finnigan was a cruel mother. She doesn't seem to have any warmth or empathy.

I thought it was only me who found find Jeff Goldblum creepy,

I also find creepy
David Walliams
Jim Cary
Lloyd Webber - it's the chubby fingers
and going to upset a lot but Elvis - the lip curling and hip swiveling made me feel physically sick

SpudleyLass · 12/10/2024 19:28

David Tennant. Took against him from day one of his role as Dr Who. I couldn't justify it to anybody who asked, I just didn't like him.

His comments on Kemi and on the wider gender topic has given me deep schadenfreude.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The South Park episode summed it up. They're narcissists using vulnerable people as props whilst ignoring the plight of the Baka people.

Russell Brand.

David Walliams.

Tom Cruise.

Ellmau · 12/10/2024 19:27

Farage, Boris, Trump. And no, it's not the politics, it's an instinctive physical reaction. I have to turn off the TV.

Russell Brand, Leo DiCaprio.

Whatamitodonow · 12/10/2024 19:27

Fred sirieix. Really can’t stand him.

2Magpies24 · 12/10/2024 19:26

Angela Rayner makes me shudder. Reminds me of a school bully. I can clearly imagine her being one of the mean girls and shouting abuse in the school corridor and giggling with her mates about it, or punching someone in the stomach on the school bus. It makes me feel genuinely anxious when I see her on tv and have to turn over.
Hoping I’m wrong and she’s actually really nice in real life.

Hartley Hare & Zippy.
