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?

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

I’m with @dotdotdotdash on this one.

Elzibells · 26/11/2023 23:41

My icks are temperamental.

I loved, really loved Kit Harrington as Jon Snow but the minute I see him in anything else or interviewed, with no northern accent and bearskin...ick.

Same with Cillian Murphy. As Tommy Shelby is hot! Anything else, no. Yuck.

Nicholas Cage is a consistent ick. Cannot stand him.

So many actors and actresses on here would also be named on `Who's your favourite actor' thread!

Yep! I've always thought he was creepy as balls, don't get it at all.

moggerhanger · 26/11/2023 23:43

Jack Nicholson. Really massive ick from him.

I'm OK with those mentioned so far, though I don't get the hype around the likes of Cruise. He's competent enough but nowt special. Ditto Di Caprio, never understood why Scorcese seems to love him so much. But no ick, as such.

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.

I miss Alan Rickman - totally ick less

villamariavintrapp · 26/11/2023 23:48

Agree with most of these really.. I'll add Priyanka chopra.

LaurieStrode · 26/11/2023 23:51

Harrison Ford. Always looking as though he's about to cry or whimper.

LaurieStrode · 26/11/2023 23:52

funbags3 · 26/11/2023 23:40

Cruise, Depp, Pit, Gyllenhaal, and DiCaprio.

Agree with all.

Pitt was hot in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" but in real life, meh.

Littlelucas · 26/11/2023 23:55

I agree wholeheartedly with Martin freeman and Jack Nicholson. I love all three actresses in the witches of eastwick but can’t stand to watch it because of that creep!

I also can’t watch anything with the two Ryan’s in - Gosling because his face annoys me and Reynolds because everything about him annoys me!

Littlelucas · 26/11/2023 23:56

Ps. What is Jim Carrey supposed to have done? I’ve always quite liked him.

LaurieStrode · 26/11/2023 23:56

Daniel Craig very odd. Certainly not Bond material.

Jim Carrey makes my skin crawl. Also what's his name Murray, the Caddyshack guy. Gross perv.

Cumberbatch doesn't do it for me, nor Ioan Gruffid.

He's vulgar m, childish and gross!

heartofglass23 · 26/11/2023 23:58

Brad Pitt

Littlelucas · 26/11/2023 23:58

Colin Firth looks constipated and vaguely gammony

🤣🤣🤣

Venomous I agree with everything in your post and I’m pmsl!

Andylion · 27/11/2023 00:00

Timothée Chalamet. Just, no.

Bassetlover · 27/11/2023 00:00

Yes to Ryan Reynolds, Tom Cruise is ick personified and I know they're not film stars but the Jonas brothers all give me the absolute ick.

SprinkleOfSunak · 27/11/2023 00:01

Will Ferrell
Owen Wilson
Matthew McConaughey

LaurieStrode · 27/11/2023 00:01

Will Ferrell is repulsive, especially as Elf. He just looks like someone who doesn't bathe or shower sufficiently and who laughs at bodily function "jokes."

ReadingSoManyThreads · 27/11/2023 00:03

Oh god, I haven't heard of half of these people. What is wrong with me?!

SheerLucks · 27/11/2023 00:03

Leonardo DiCapro!

He was just so fresh and charismatic in Titanic but jeez, the things I've read, and I know so many people who've literally walked out of Killers of the Flower Moon as it's just so bad.

Viveeepip · 27/11/2023 00:04

Chris Pratt. I used to be a big fan of his after the first Guardians of the Galaxy film. Not anymore!

TedMullins · 27/11/2023 00:05

Agree with all of these but I must add Bradley Cooper. There’s something just too polished about him that turns my stomach. I can tolerate him in A Star Is Born because he looks more rugged but his face is like if you asked an AI to create “stereotypically attractive Hollywood man”

PieAndLattes · 27/11/2023 00:05

Kelsey Grammer. It feels like not acting in Frasier. He really is an arrogant, supercilious, twat.

GlitchStitch · 27/11/2023 00:05

Will Ferrell, especially when he is cast opposite beautiful younger actresses.
Owen Wilson. It's his voice and his hair.
Johnny Depp, I've never understood all the love for him and he looks like he needs a good wash.
