I don’t like David Tennant, can’t put my finger on why he just seems a bit creepy. I’m sure he’s not I just don’t like him.

Chris Packham - simpering and patronising.
St David Attenborough - used be a real fan but he's whining, patronising or lecturing now.
Stephen Fry - patronising again.
David Jason, strangely creepy as he's got older. But not patronising!
Sandi Toksfig - comes across as insincere.

David Tennant was absolutely brilliant as Dennis Nilsen!

HelpMeGetThrough · 10/02/2024 10:47

You’re right! Everyone is being mean about my husband David tennant and I’ll find where you all live and make the nasty women apologise personally to our beautiful children.

I'd be keeping your eye on Billie Piper.

Apparently she calls hubby David Ten-Inch!!

Lorraine Kelly (quite pleased how many times she’s been mentioned) and Colleen Nolan

I have thought long and hard over the years about why I don't really like David Tennant. Have never told my son as he is 'his' Doctor Who. (As an aside, I have worked out that 'your' Doctor Who is the one you were watching when you were eight years old. Check it out.)

Anyway, re DT, I find him unconvincing and insincere as an actor. I can tell he is acting. And my theory is that it is because, unless he is speaking in his natural Scottish accent, he is faking it / trying very hard to 'do' another accent.

And the gurning, of course.

Amanda Abbingdon and Katherine Parkinson...one of them set off the dislike and they remind me so much of each other that now I dislike them both 🤣

oh I used to think they were the same person both Amanda Abbington and I don't like them because they confuse my brain 😃

LuluBlakey1 · 10/02/2024 10:52

Most of them. We have thousands of talentless, unintelligent, vulgar, loud, self-seeking 'celebs' and 'influencers' who will sell anything about themselves, their bodies and their lives for publicity and money.

I can't be bothered with any of them but worry about the way dim people around theworld follow them, copy them and believe them.

Wasntmeanttobelikethis · 10/02/2024 10:52

It is very telling that the same names keep cropping up
Joanne Lumley: the posh bird act is wearing soooo thin
Olivia Coleman: the smugness is unbearable; ‘ oh, golly gosh, I can’t believe I won this award’

Hoglet70 · 10/02/2024 10:53

Kevin Costner - sorry Kev!

Morecatsarebetter · 10/02/2024 10:53

Suranne (not the real name, surely) Jones. Plays the same character in every role. Don’t know how she gets all the work.
Martin Kemp and the wife. Give it a rest ffs

ohwhattodooo · 10/02/2024 10:55

Keira Knightley! Mainly from that scene in Love actually "I look quite pretty, don't I?" 🤢

to be fair that was Richard Curtis's fault.

Palindrone · 10/02/2024 10:57

I think her real name is Sarah .

ohwhattodooo · 10/02/2024 10:58

@Mrsjayy I know, I know but I can't not think of it everytime she's on screen! Sorry Kiera!

Wasntmeanttobelikethis · 10/02/2024 10:58

Yes to Suranne Jones: her overacting in Classic Corrie is highly amusing

and you want to poke your eyes out. I hate LA I'm on the threads every Christmas it's like a tradition 😃

ThelmaDinkley · 10/02/2024 11:02

How can anyone dislike Ryan Gosling and Keanu?? They are two of the nicest celebs around. I can’t stand Sara Cox all that fake northern down to earth lass routine. Stuck up cow who was rude to me and my friend.

ThelmaDinkley · 10/02/2024 11:04

And nobody better slag off Johnny Marr as he is one of the nicest blokes on the planet!

MermaidEyes · 10/02/2024 11:04

Scarlett Johansson

My DH would agree. He doesn't get why so many men fancy her.

Sususudio · 10/02/2024 11:04

So many but at the moment: Lily Collins

zingally · 10/02/2024 11:10

Vernon Kay.
He always just has this greasy look about him that is just such an ick.

Blubbled · 10/02/2024 11:14

There's loads of famous people I don't like, but I know why so I won't list them, but some of the ones I dislike but am not quite sure why are:-
Keira Knightly
Michelle Keegan
Timothee Chalamet- I have a visceral aversion to him, he just makes my flesh crawl, my stomach turn and an almost violent revulsion! I am not at all sure why I have such an intensely negative reaction to him!

I agree.

In my head Keanu Reeves is the nicest person in the world. When you seen him with his young fans he so lovely & cool.
