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?

I used to really fancy Will Smith. Did for years. Then I found out he was a Scientologist and that was it. Feelings gone. Figured if you were that stupid to get involved with them then you’re not worth my worship from afar time

MrsDeaconClaybourne · 18/11/2018 17:51

I opened the thread thinking Euan McGregor, only to see that's who the OP started with!

Boy George after he attached a sex worker.
Kevin Spacey.
Never liked Jonathon Ross but he was so so sleazy to Kylie Minogue on his show that I went right off him (before the Russell Brand thing).

(Not Idris Elba - he is lovely)

Gone off Stephen Fry recently.

PawneeParksDept · 18/11/2018 17:57

The first person I thought of was Chris Pratt

LOVE him in Parks and Rec

But he has form for animal neglect I read about it on here Sad

Tried to give away a cat on social media

He and his wife adopted a dog from a shelter. They were later fined when the dog was picked up wandering homeless by the same shelter, they'd "rehomed" it allegedly Hmm aka got shut and didn't care what happened to it.

The dog was elderly and ill. They then got another.

Michel Roux Jnr, dp & I loved him on masterchef, until we found out the his restaurants kept the staff’s tips. It sounds a little thing but he has so much money & waiting staff get paid a pittance - it really made us dislike him

LuggsaysNotaWomen · 18/11/2018 18:00

Stephen Fry.
Eddie Izzard and his ridiculous “girl genetics” comments turned me right off him.

On the flip side I recently saw an interview with Keira Knightly and her 17 year old co star and she was very sweet with her and she went up in my estimation (will never be a fan of her “teeth” acting though).

Yes laughed along with Frank Skinner all through the 90s until read in his autobiography that he paid for a prostitute. Can't look at him now

SimplySteve · 18/11/2018 18:01

Ricky Gervais, for his bad taste jokes about M.E.

Cristiano Ronaldo.

BearSoFair · 18/11/2018 18:02

Oscar Pistorius, for obvious reasons! Loved him during London 2012, even went and met him in Trafalgar Square at a BT medal winners event...

McTufty · 18/11/2018 18:02

Rory McIlroy when he called off his wedding two days after sending the invitations out.

Emma Watson when she wore a t-shirt saying “trans rights are human rights” without specifying which rights she meant, and tagging stonewall in it.

And yes to Euan McGregor.

Gary Barlow and the tax issues.

David Beckham and the knighthood emails. Total arse.

Not to the staff, it doesn't! Angry I didn't know that about him, how miserly and cruel.

Ktay · 18/11/2018 18:03

Yes, a local actress shoved DD1 out of the way when she was taking a second or two (really not much time at all) too long to get through the ticket barrier at the station Angry

MamaLazarou · 18/11/2018 18:04

I was mad about Anna Faris until I found out that she pronounces her name as 'AHH-na' and haven't been able to look at her the same way since. Just say Anna FGS.

StoorieHoose · 18/11/2018 18:05

Morrissey

Heartofgoldheadofcabbage · 18/11/2018 18:05

Gino D’Acampo...I was neither here nor there about him until I found out he burgled Paul Young years before he became famous..now I actively will not watch anything he is in!

ChocBix · 18/11/2018 18:08

Scarlett Johansson after she openly supported Israel’s illegal building of settlements on Palestinian land by signing with soda stream. Still makes me angry. She was my number one girl crush as well 😒.

Tom cruise just for being odd. Sorry Tom.

sosmooth · 18/11/2018 18:08

why Cristiano Ronaldo? He was accused of rape but it's never been proven? unless I'm missing something,admittedly I don't keep up with celebrity news.

TheFuckfaceWhisperer · 18/11/2018 18:08

Ian Watkins

TheQueef · 18/11/2018 18:09

Blimey loads.
I divorced Sean Bean completely when I read on here.
We were only imaginary married but I binned him.

dialecticalmaterialism · 18/11/2018 18:10

Sandi Toksvig. I loved her until I had to work with her. She’s horrible.

NotUmbongoUnchained · 18/11/2018 18:10

Whats Sean Bean done?

BehemothPullsThePeasantsPlough · 18/11/2018 18:11

Boy George, Kevin Spacey and Oscar Pistorious for obvious reasons.

Less seriously, I used to like Marcus Brigstock, whose standup had a very right-on political slant and laid it on heavy about his family image. We used to bump into him in the queue for parent and baby screenings at the local cinema. I went right off him when he ran off with his (very annoying) Spamalot co-star. Possibly unfair - for all I know Mrs B was also shagging the milkman.

TheQueef · 18/11/2018 18:12

Aw don't tell me Sandy Tomsandwich is horrid, I want to live near her local. I always picture her propping a bar up wearing tweed.

TheQueef · 18/11/2018 18:13

DV Umbongo I read he did it with several partners.
