Ben Affleck... he knows why.

Catherine Tyldesley, because #cakegate.

Any of the 'unknowns' cast as lead in a Star Wars movie.

You'd think actually being able to act would be a pre-requisite as well as being a total unknown, but apparently not. Mark Hamill, Hayden Christensen, Daisy Ridley. All of them utterly hopeless.

The fast and the furious movies always make me cringe. Not a good actor/actress among them

Danny Dyer. One face. One mode. Awful.

HalloumiHo · 04/08/2023 16:55

Keira Knightley...because of the...OTT ENUNCIATION

Totally agree, he was truly awful in Eastenders

Joint award to Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner, with an honourable mention to Tom Cruise.

One word: Accents

clopper · 04/08/2023 17:32

Keira knightly and her famous pouting expression and the man that plays Charlie in Casulty.

And the way she screams.

Emma Watson. A perfect example of a young actor not bothering to develop their 'craft' as they grew.

Although luckily it seems the film industry agrees with me and she hasn't acted in anything since her wooden turn as Meg in Little Women.

Yes, Emma has not developed at all. She was at her best in her first film and has gone downhill since. Excruciating to watch.

Kevin Costner, just because of Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, that ACCENT! And of course Alan Rickman was divine.

Chanhedforthis · 04/08/2023 17:55

Adam Sandler

WhatADrabCarpet · 04/08/2023 17:56

Will Ferrell.

Always the same.

Emma Watson gets my nomination too. So wooden.

PollyPaintsFlowers · 04/08/2023 17:58

Keira Knightley, when she talks it's like she has marbles in her cheeks like what Professor Higgins did to Eliza Dolittle in My Fair Lady

Solaire · 04/08/2023 17:59

Kristen Stewart - her over acting in the Twilight movies is so bad, it’s funny. Tbf, I’ve not seen her in any other movies, so maybe it was just those ones?

sparklefresh · 04/08/2023 17:59

Emma Watson and Daisy Ridley. Being posh and reasonably attractive do not mean you have acting talent.

Seasideanticscanleadtosandybuckets · 04/08/2023 17:59

Stephen from Corrie.... Aaah...

AngeliqueDePeyrac · 04/08/2023 18:00

Clive Owen
Keanu Reeves
Another vote for Keira Knightley

Anotherchristianmama · 04/08/2023 18:02

Orlando Bloom in LoTR. Captain cardboard

Harebrain · 04/08/2023 18:02

Another vote for Emma (wooden) Watson.
