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?

Lady Gaga. She just seems so desperate, rarely do I hear men say that a women makes their skin crawl but have heard a few men say this about her

HRTQueen · 28/11/2023 13:13

George Clooney not the ick but I think he is disingenuous but not in a creepy way

Dita73 · 28/11/2023 13:39

He’s not an actor,some might say a singer but that’s debatable but I can’t even look at Peter Andre. When he was on Strictly and it was his dance I had to change the channel. If I see him I genuinely get very nauseous

Nicole Kidman - reminds me of a victorian death mask.

Jim Carey

Ugh yes

Newsenmum · 28/11/2023 14:39

leilani83 · 27/11/2023 20:22

Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hardy (after what I read about him)

Dominic West

Johnny Depp

What about Tom Hardy?

Lelophants · 28/11/2023 14:44

He’s not a film star, but mark zuckerberg gives me horrendous ick. He’s so creepy. I think he might be an alien.

TinklingToadstools · 28/11/2023 14:51

Most actors are really over rated.
Jim Carey is on the spiritual path so many won't understand his way of thinking, However l much prefer him to Tommy Lee Jones who has been accused by many of being a bully to other actors/ actresses including Jim Carey.

HOW...just how has no one mentioned Steven Segal yet ?!? He is quite possible the most repulsive man on the planet, the spray on hair, the locked in facial expression. He looks like a ventriloquist dummy that someone taught how to do spin kicks.

Also..
Jack Black.. he is not a romantic lead, in real life he would be living in a basement knocking one out to anime comics.

Benedict Cumberbatch... a man that shows what hundreds of years of upperclass inbreeding can cause.

The man child that is on the current Chanel Advert...just why??

Edited

It was something about him with a prostitute in a taxi - don't want to google it and can't remember where I read it, it was a while ago.

On a film set Charlize Theron refused to be around him unless there was a Producer present because he was so unpleasant/aggressive to her. Luckily she's a big star, an unknown would probably be told to just deal with it.

Are you not thinking of the film he was in - London Road? Apologies if it’s something else.

No, I haven't seen any of his movies, I just remember the story - there were ones about other celebs too.

PearlClutzsche · 28/11/2023 18:02

But that’s silly: in actual real life Jack Black is a successful actor, comedian and musician, definitely not a loser wanking in a basement.
I am in no way a fan, I hasten to add.

PearlClutzsche · 28/11/2023 18:03

I’m also intrigued about the incident involving rubber lips Tom Hardy… always mystified why he was swooned over on MN!

buzzy1 · 28/11/2023 18:30

Armie Hammer gave me the ick in call me by your name.. before I’d read about the abuse allegations

Ah, I did google it while I was waiting for my train and it came up with that film.

Liverpool52 · 28/11/2023 20:20

Richard Gere. Can't believe there's only been one mention him so far.

His only character is sleazy businessman shagging a prostitute. Even if the film isn't Pretty Woman, that's just how he comes across. Sleazy and creepy.

I didn’t know about allegations but I also found him gross. He was also way too old to play the part in that film.

BatshitCrazyWoman · 28/11/2023 20:31

I agree with many PPs, I do not understand the love for Tom Cruise. He makes me feel deeply uncomfortable, and is very odd looking and unattractive to me.

Not an actor, but Annabel Croft irritates me so much, I feel like she's a mean girl, but hiding it. I can't explain why. I leave the room when she's on Strictly.

It's those piggy little eyes that get me!
He's another that was always regarded as a hearthrob in the media, even though he's... really not.

I love Jack Black. He is hilarious, a brilliant rock vocalist and, before he turned into a hobo, I would have jumped him at the drop of a hat.

He is a good singer, to be fair @Lessstressedhemum . Love "Tribute"
