Have you ever gone off a celebrity because of something they've done?

I used to really like Ewan McGregor until he had an affair.

Same with Robson Green in the 90s.

I loved Michael Moriarty (still do) but he's become a huge loony and an old soak.

Liked Ant McPartlin before the drink driving and infidelity.

Have you ever liked a celeb and then gone off them because of something they've said or done? Does it just prove that celebs are human like the rest of us?

Ian Watkins from Lostprophets for obvious reasons. Sickens me to see his face or hear his voice.

Me too Sad I was a huge fan for years and the sight/sound/thought of him makes me feel sick. Like I feel unclean for having ever been a fan and I want to scrub the whole band from my memory. I'd like to scrub him off the face of the planet actually.

Kurt had a lot of issues from his childhood, tbf, and probably should have been removed from his mother.

I had no idea about Wahlberg how on earth does he still have a career?

Got to agree about Depp, and tbh I think JKR agrees privately and can't admit it publicly because she is a producer. The first film was in the can when the allegations emerged and he likely signed on a sequel clause in the initial contract so they were screwed. Had it still been filming who knows?

Also Jason Manford and Vernon Kay for being pigs. And John Bishop for saying some really shitty anti Scottish things a few years back. Not as part of a routine, just plain shitty shite so he can fuck off.

dontalltalkatonce · 18/11/2018 23:33

I agree, tangoed. Ant just whinged away. $65k visa to get up there, he goes for free and gets paid, goes on Os, cameraman and guide doing twice the work and he's bitching about how hard it was. Um, don't go then.

OutragedEtc · 18/11/2018 23:39

To be fair to Ant Middleton, it must have been terrifying.

Not being able to Just For Men his beard for a whole fortnight.

LuckyDiamond · 18/11/2018 23:44

Oh yes I liked John Bishop when he very first toured. Another tedious misogynistic arse. I didn’t know about the anti Scotland stuff. That puts the tin lid on it for me.

Eddie Izzard.

For political views and for forgetting that if you are a comedian, you need to be funny.

KitchenDancefloor · 18/11/2018 23:48

I would say Seann Walsh for his recent cheating and gas-lighting, but I was only vaguely aware of him before Strictly so he has no pedestal to fall from.

KitchenDancefloor · 18/11/2018 23:51

Also Will Smith for pushing his children into the limelight at such an early age (and conversely I have huge respect for Marcus Mumford and Carey Mulligan who haven't even put their children's names in the public arena).

VerbeenaBeeks · 19/11/2018 00:10

Forgot about Johnny Depp, used to fancy him rotten as a teen but seeing what Amber said and the video I saw uploaded of one of their arguments, I can start to believe she might have been telling the truth.
I obviously don't know the truth, but it seemed damning especially as there's other earlier stuff about him out there re volatile.

SoleBizzz · 19/11/2018 00:18

I thought I'd read Will Smith is Muslim?

I went off Ewan McGregor after I found out he had worked with Roman Polanski.

LewisMam · 19/11/2018 00:36

Another vote for Chris Pratt. I absolutely adored him until I found out he was guilty of multiple cases of animal neglect. What a piece of shit he is.

VerbeenaBeeks · 19/11/2018 00:43

Whats Sean Bean done?

Oh Gawd, I don't want to know. Not read all the thread. I lurve him.
Although the fact without wiki or googling know that he's been married about 4 times, why is it breaking down so many times there must be something lol

PawneeParksDept · 19/11/2018 00:46

I think the Smiths have flirted with Scientology and were in some way involved with a Scientology school when their children were younger. I don't know if they are fully paid up but their close friendship with Tom Cruise suggests it's likely, they've never confirmed it either way

UpstartCrow · 19/11/2018 00:47

I used to like Simon Pegg until I saw him make a shitty comment live on air to his Spaced co star, Jessica Hynes.

PawneeParksDept · 19/11/2018 00:48

@UpstartCrow

Interesting. Never liked him always had a vibe. Increasingly get a similar vibe from Martin Freeman

JaneJeffer · 19/11/2018 00:53

David Bowie. I read on here that he and Angie had sex with a virgin 13 or 14 year old groupie. Gross.

Ladygodivasroom · 19/11/2018 00:54

Most men who were around in the 70s - obviously Savile, Glitter and Harris but in addition Bowie, Peel, Walker, Blackburn, Bolan etc were all shagging teenage girls ie children. These men were on telly every night throughout my childhood!

Actors: Depp (wife beater), Polanski, Spacey, Allen (rapists) Wahlberg (racist thug) ... Those are just off the top of my head. Sometimes it seems that all famous men are arseholes.

UpstartCrow · 19/11/2018 01:02

PawneeParksDept Apparently you're right about him as well.

Rockbird · 19/11/2018 01:02

SecondTimeCharm that was Hugh Bonneville?? Sad I'm gutted Sad

HeresMeh · 19/11/2018 01:03

Elton John. What a prick!

First was his meltdown in the airport in... Thailand? Maybe? When he was calling everyone 'fucking pigs'

Then more recently cause of this John Lewis Christmas advert and he has the audacity to use his mum as a story piece even though he'd fallen out with her and she hired an Elton impersonator for her 90th birthday... what a bloated sell-out hack he is!

thighofrelief · 19/11/2018 01:07

Well I'm afraid I'm very fickle and can go off celebs for snogging in public. Went off Jonathan Ross for a council house joke and Ricky Gervais for fat jokes.
