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?

Nicolas Cage for me too and likewise I have no idea why. I cannot stand the sight of the man.

I thought it was just me. Cannot stand the sight of him. Deeply odd

What bugs me about Channing Tatum is how he's presented as this hot sex symbol that we're supposed to find attractive, when in fact he looks like a potato.
Not his fault though, of course.

😂😂😂 I'll have to use potato now, I had been thinking he resembled a giant thumb.

I will second whoever said Vin Diesel. I always found him weird, but then I once read an article that compared his head to a penis, and now I can't unsee it. Just a giant walking penis.

😂 and now I am not going be able to unread this.

I saw Dominic west in a play, the character he played was a total arsehole, and he embodied them so well I can't see him as anything else now.
Always get the creeps. Especially when he was in The affair.

amymel2016 · 27/11/2023 12:49

Tom Hiddleston - wet and needy

EachandEveryone · 27/11/2023 13:15

Bloody hell, a list of actors that you do like would be very short 😃

howdoihowdoi · 27/11/2023 13:15

Pozz · 26/11/2023 23:25

Jim Carey
Jack Nicholson

These two are amazing actors.

bloodyeffinnora · 27/11/2023 00:11

Robin Williams always gives me the ick also Owen Wilson

Don't be fucking ridiculous.

Lentilweaver · 27/11/2023 13:21

Channing Tatum is the kind of man men think women find attractive.

jolaylasofia · 27/11/2023 13:25

tom cruise

All bald men look like either penises or thumbs. A friend pointed this out to me when I was briefly on OLD and bemoaning the lack of men with hair in my age bracket.

Charming. If anyone posted that all skinny women look like lollipops there would be outrage.

LaurieStrode · 27/11/2023 14:52

Why are there so many more bald men than there used to be?

I quite like bald guys actually - it can look really well on some men. The last few crushes I've had have been bald guys.

Much better than trying to maintain a combover like in the 70's, or ((shudder)) a toupée...

Dominic West - so horribly smug and full of himself

Tom Cruise - comes across as very strange indeed

Jamie Foxx - gives off creepy vibes

Seconding Dominic West and Tom Cruise goes without saying.

IsThePopeCatholic · 27/11/2023 15:17

Mel Gibson , Russell Crowe. Creepy AF.

UncleHerbie · 27/11/2023 16:09

Not an actor but a talentless try hard who relies on auto tune, and is in a permanent state of priapism when he’s within sniffing distance of Tom Jones. Yes the twat that is Olly fucking Murs. His 15 mins of fame have been 16 mins too long. Ick Central

DressedForWarmth · 27/11/2023 17:12

I agree with most of these and have realised it's why I haven't watched a lot of popular films.

Can I please add Zac Efron since he changed his face this year? I find him really difficult to look at now as something just feels wrong.

LuckyPeonies · 27/11/2023 17:17

Angelina Jolie, creepy af. Reese Witherspoon, so smug and prissy, ick. I also agree with Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson, Jared Leto, Tom Cruise, Christopher Walken, Johnny Depp, icky. And I can’t watch Michael Sheen, I think it’s his nose. Megan Fox, she displays her attributes at every opportunity and then whines about being ‘objectified’. 🙄

mambojambodothetango · 27/11/2023 17:20

Agree with Chris Pine, and will add Ryan Gosling. Just want to slap that 'too relaxed to open my eyes properly' expression. Fewer women have this effect on me, but i can't bear Harriet Walter's voice.

mambojambodothetango · 27/11/2023 17:22

SprinkleOfSunak · 27/11/2023 00:01

Will Ferrell
Owen Wilson
Matthew McConaughey

Yep. All three.

mambojambodothetango · 27/11/2023 17:25

Yes Dominic West as well. Thought I was the only one. It's his teeth, I think.

Covetthee · 27/11/2023 17:28

Omg completely forgot to add the biggest winner in the Ick competition

david walliams. Literally makes my insides crawl
