Film stars who give you the ick

Just watched The Holiday on tv. Love a bit of a cheesy romcom but why oh why did they cast Jack Black?! No chemistry with Kate winslet. There's something about him that just gives me the ick. I can't put my finger on it. I think he tries to hard to be cute. But he's not cute.

Who is your ick?

Tom Cruise, not sure why but he really gives me the creeps, definitely not sexy in any way!

Jack Black gave me the ick in Holiday and Shallow Hal.

Not sure if a film star per se but Matt Smith; I just can't watch anything with him in. Confused

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 26/11/2023 22:51

Chris Evans. I can't watch any of his films. I can't even look at his face.

Baldieheid · 26/11/2023 22:51

Robert Pattinson. Just ew. And you'd have to be insane to not find Tom Cruise a creep. Genuinely disturbing man.

JaneJeffer · 26/11/2023 22:52

Richard Dreyfuss which is annoying because he's in some great films 🦈

He's high up on my ick list too, he also makes me feel decidely uncomfortable.

TBH since I've started watching more European films/dramas a lot of the Hollywood stars give me the ick because they just look so unnatural and over polished/smoothed/whitened teeth etc.

David Tennant makes me cringe and he seems to get all the work; I can’t understand it.

ElizabethVonArnim · 26/11/2023 22:53

The worst ick was Philip Seymour Hoffman. Brian Cox (the Succession one, not the space one) gives me the ick as well.

skysmumm · 26/11/2023 22:53

Kate Winslet gave me the absolute ick in the holiday. They all did. Maybe not Jude Law but proper icky characters.

discopoodle · 26/11/2023 22:54

Eugh yes Jack black in anything actually.
Rowan Atkinson, I don't know what it is but I can't watch him.

Tom Cruise GIF

Nah

Smokeyrobinson · 26/11/2023 22:54

Dominic West - so horribly smug and full of himself

Tom Cruise - comes across as very strange indeed

Jamie Foxx - gives off creepy vibes

I just assumed people liked him, he is in so many really popular films.

Was just going to say him
Very ick
Smiles like he's bitten your knickers off

hattie43 · 26/11/2023 22:55

Jim Carey

Legendairy · 26/11/2023 22:56

Yes to Dominic West but I think some of the others mentioned are ok 😆

Came on to say Philip Seymour Hoffman too. It made him a great actor as he was usually Supposed to be vile.

I used to think that but I've warned to hlm being a good all round actor - did you see him in There She Goes?

Showercurtainofdoom · 26/11/2023 22:58

Chris Pine. He makes my skin crawl

ThreeLocusts · 26/11/2023 23:04

Present-day Johnny Depp, sadly. Brrrr. The last role he was OK ain, and only just, was Willy Wonka, ten years ago.

And yes, Cruise.

Onemoretimeok · 26/11/2023 23:12

I agree with ALL of these! i think I’m easily Icked.

and to add- Martin Freeman.

Naptrappedmummy · 26/11/2023 23:15

JaneJeffer · 26/11/2023 22:54

Nah

I find Tom Cruise unbelievably attractive 😬

mrmagpie · 26/11/2023 23:15

Gerard Butler, I don't know why but I can't watch anything he's in. I just can't stand the sight of him.

Showercurtainofdoom · 26/11/2023 23:16

Oh yes I agtee mrmagpie. It's the way he talks out of the side of his mouth constantly

bitchillytonight · 26/11/2023 23:16

Now Tom cruise I like in films but in real life...... ick!
