Film stars who give you the ick

[bitchillytonight]

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
I'm so glad so many others agree as I assumed I would be minority

Not exactly a megastar but Kris Marshall gives me the ick. Although that could just be his character in Love Actually.

Also:
Martin Freeman
Owen Wilson
Ray Winstone

And of course Tom Cruise and Rowan Atkinson, as many pps have said.

Not a film star but David Jason. Lovely in his younger days but now faintly unctuous and creepy.

Whats wrong with him??

Jared Leto

I agree with everyone who mentioned Jack Black, Seth Rogen, Adam Sandler, Timothée Chalamet, Matthew Broderick, Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper.
I’d also add Vin Diesel.

Alan rickman, Tom hanks and Johnny depp. Colin firth as well actually. How that plank of wood kept getting cast as a romantic lead i have no idea.

Can't believe people think depp came out of that trial having "won". The text messages between him and paul bettany were disgusting.

Actually yeah, Paul bettany can go on the list. I used to think he was pretty inoffensive.

dwayne johnston (the rock) gives me the utter ick

Bill murray

gerald butler

Olivia colemon

lea michelle

Jeremy renner

daniel craig

benedict cumberbatch

and the biggest ICK of all Adam Driver 🤢🤢🤢

I can't be the only one icked by Kevin Costner

Tom Cruise sets off every warning system I have. Literally 'cross the street to avoid him' level. Can't bear to watch his films, interviews anything.

My life has not exactly been trauma-free and I wonder if my subconscious sees a physical 'tell' from him that suggests danger.

To name a few:

Jack Black
Bill Murray
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Johnny Depp
Robert Patterson
Jack Nicholson

Not a film star in the least, but Elon Musk.

Bradley Cooper looks like an alien wearing a skin suit.

Timothy Chalamet has a head like a rhombus.

Daniel Craig looks like a surprised Gecko

Kevin Spacey
Bill Murray
Dennis Quaid
Richard Here

Love this thread, feel like all the creepy guys mysteriously matched up with early twenties actresses are getting called out!

Hahaa! I don’t find that upsetting visually personally . If he was singing Sunshine Mountain into that mike he’d look the same as many rugby vets on night out after a game .Theres something not right with his energy as person. He’s never played a character with any empathy. He comes a cross as quite cold despite his persona.

I could never watch Robin Williams, he was creepy as you like.

Ryan Gosling, Chris Pine and Daniel Craig are too odd looking for me rather than ick but I struggle to watch them.

Olivia Colman
Bradley Cooper
Millie Bobbie Brown
Henry Cavill (the way he’s built, and always bursting out of his suits make me feel a bit queasy)
Nicholas Cage
Martin Freeman (bleugh! So smug)
Chris Pine (done something really odd to his face? Always wearing lip gloss?!)
Russell Brand
Johnny Depp

I forgot to add the following on my earlier list:

Jason Statham
Ryan Reynolds

@Tilllly YES! He does smile like he's bitten your knickers off, that's exactly it! I laughed out loud when I read that, it's the perfect description!

Not the ick, but I can't get over how light Channing Tatum's lips are compared to his skin so it looks like he's wearing light coloured lipstick. Very distracting

Cillian Murphy (shudders)

He makes my skin crawl

It's fascinating how divisive some actors can be - because there have been plenty listed here who I love watching (Cillian Murphy and Adam Driver for example). But Henry Cavill gives me the ick and everyone LOVES him.

Agree with a PP about Kris Marshall - always comes across like a smug prick whatever he's in.

James Franco. But I can’t put my finger on exactly why.

Maybe the persistent creepy sex pest rumours? (Or a spidey sense about them)

Oh yes Bill Murray - I'd been trying to remember what the film was i'd seen lately that I knew had me thinking 'he makes my skin crawl' and it was Groundhog Day.

Agree with Kevin Spacey too.

And dislike Tom Hanks, though he doesn't make my skin crawl in quite the same way.

Also in the interest of gender equality - Emilia Clarke and Gemma Arterton
