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?

Nicholas bloody cage. Ick factor 10

James Stewart - Racist
John Wayne - Racist
Sean Connery - wife beater
Brad Pitt reminds me of Galen. Benficio del Toro looks like Brad’s Galenfaced and unwashed brother

All are ickworths

Will Ferrell
Owen Wilson
Matthew McConaughey

All these plus Adam Sandler - there’s just something about him that is not right.

Michael Fassbender. Awful predatory shark smile.

I can’t believe it took 6 pages for his name to come up. Fassbender gives me the complete ick. He looks like he’d bite the head off a live bunny and smile while doing it.

Bradley Cooper. just no.

and Jim Carrey, can't watch anything he is in. I objectively can see he is very talented, but don't enjoy it, too in your face. since his diagnosis came to be known, I have wondered whether he literally channels his mania?

MixedCouple · 27/11/2023 02:16

Jack Nicholson - yuck. To think that Meryl Streep had an affair with him. One creepy guy I dislike his films so creepy. Gives me the ick.

Tom Cruise total wack job and creepy!
Will smith icky!
Dwayne Johnson - his skit on child Molesting Robots on SNL was disgusting!!!! Super creep
John Travoltor - Like Tom cruise scares me!

These are the worst offenders for me.

Benedict Cumberbatch
Benicio del Toro
Timothy Chalamet
Donald Sutherland
Christian Slater
Joaquin Phoenix

oh yes, Timothy Chalamet - have you seen the nights in white satin aftershave advert. I think it's meant to be deeply seductive. 😂Forget it love, it's not going to happen, isn't it past your bedtime.

CoffeeAndEnnui · 27/11/2023 02:36

Tom Cruise (for obvious reasons)
Kelsey Grammer (feels too tightly wound and 'off')
Kieran Culkin (enjoy things he's in but makes me profoundly uncomfortable)
Jack Whitehall (makes me want to crawl out of my skin)
Quentin Tarantino (huge smarmy spoon face and perve vibes)
Bradley Cooper (dead behind the eyes like a man-shark)

Beentheredonethat123 · 27/11/2023 02:37

Chris Rock
Ben Stiller
Arnold Schwarzenegger

CoffeeAndEnnui · 27/11/2023 02:39

Ohhh and Vince Vaughn, always feels like there's something very ugly going on in his head. Brrrr.

CoffeeAndEnnui · 27/11/2023 02:44

Michael Douglas is a good call!

JANEY205 · 27/11/2023 02:52

Jim Carrey
Tom Hanks
Justin Timberlake (he’s been in some films)
Will Smith

therealcookiemonster · 27/11/2023 03:05

@thomasinacat I have to agree with you about chalamet. he's a child.

EnoughIsay · 27/11/2023 03:22

Fassbender and Bradley Cooper borrow a human suit from time to time.

They are actually aliens - of the worst kind.

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

Yes he's always given me the creeps too! He gives off a weird/controlling vibe in real life too. Perhaps it's the Scientology thing.

39and · 27/11/2023 03:24

Tom Cruise, Chris Pratt.

CoffeeAndEnnui · 27/11/2023 03:30

Can't believe I forgot Chris Pratt. Given me the raging ick since Parks and Rec.

For a bit of balance, Catherine O'Hara and Jennifer Coolidge make my flesh crawl too.

selfselfiequeen · 27/11/2023 03:42

Johnny depp is just ew and not at all attractive imho

flowerchild2000 · 27/11/2023 03:42

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.

My younger brother was obsessed with the movie Twister when he was little, he watched it almost every day on VHS for awhile. That scene with Phillip Seymour Hoffman eating steak and eggs is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. It's like the ickiest man on the planet eating gregariously, it just made me never want to eat again. That was a long time ago but it's practically burned on my brain just UGH

Lentilweaver · 27/11/2023 03:46

Brad Pitt. It's his dead eyes.

Also Timothee Chalamet. He strikes me as a mansplainer who is forever calling women TERFS.

flowerchild2000 · 27/11/2023 03:48

Gerard Butler
Brad Pitt
Leonardo DiCaprio
Matt Damon
Tom Hanks
Matthew McConaughey

They just seem so into themselves it's gross.

Dita73 · 27/11/2023 03:50

Ethan Hawke. Pretentious twat

Lentilweaver · 27/11/2023 03:50

Oh yes Michael Douglas. Not helped by the arseholes he plays.

flowerchild2000 · 27/11/2023 03:54

I think Robert Pattinson and Ryan Gosling are both unattractive, but they're usually in good films so I try to watch whatever they're in. They seem like cool people in real life, Robert seems dirty and Ryan is funny looking like he's always holding in a big fart.

WavingCatsandDogs · 27/11/2023 04:02

Vince Vaughn.

If I met him I'd genuinely be freaked.
