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.

This thread makes me laugh.

DB has worked with or knows of some of these here (SIL’s aunt, uncle and their DD, SIL’s cousin are all actors but DD doesn’t act anymore) as he’s worked in film/TV. I can tell you the ones he’s worked with as an Art Director and he thinks are lovely and the ones not so nice. But DB generally gets on with everyone.

Dominic West, had him come into a building where she works and says he’s a rude entitled arse. David Walliams said this before picked up her cousin I think when she was working or dining at The Ivy (the main one), she was probably early 20s and he was at least 13-16 years older than her. They started dating, he flew her out to his place in LA where after a day or so she came across evidence he was seeing someone else. So she flew straight back to London.

People I find creepy. Lorraine. Dominic West. Ant and Dec. Rest I can give or take I think.

What does that mean?

@PicklesAndTequila please come back and explain. It has confused me.

I loathe these threads.

Come here and be idly mean about people you don't know. The original invitation is bad enough but they always degenerate into ripping apart people's looks, name calling and casting worrying aspersions.

The defence, as ever, is well you don't have to read it, they'll never read it, this is the downside of fame etc. None of the defence stands up to scrutiny. Unless, 'it's okay to be needlessly cruel as long as you have a flimsy excuse' is the way you want to live your life.

Gary Neville can’t stand him commentating on the footy
Gary Barlow tries too hard
Robbie Williams can’t stand him either

Jodie Foster and Gwyneth Paltrow as actors. Just always appear to be playing thenselves and seem to be the same in everything. As a person Jodie Foster seems lovely, Gwyneth Paltrow seems spoilt, egotistical and manipulative.

SandyWaves · 10/02/2024 11:28

Lorraine Kelly...why is she still on our screens. She has ZERO talent and annoying fake laughing.

Holly Willo...however you spell it. Gives out mean girls vibe with stupid girly high pitched voice.

Alison Hammon...fake af

Richard Madeley...absolute dickhead

Oprah Winfrey....narc

Megan Markle....fake again

Price Andrew...need i say why

Katherine Ryan, look love, you're not the only one with a vagina, and that voice, reminds me of the olden days of nails scraping down a blackboard.

Carol Vorderman, made a career selling financial stuff on the back of her Countdown days, again a voice I can't bear.

PrawnDumplings · 10/02/2024 11:32

Ha! This just popped up. For the DT fans....

Carol is great at taking the tories to task though. Gotta love her for that 💛

Agree about KR the self involved schtik is SO tired 🥱

Nicholas Cage. I have an irrational hate of him and no idea why. Don’t think I’ve ever watched one of his films fully and know nothing about him but I can’t stand the man and can’t bring myself to watch the Dracula film he did recently even though I’d probably like it.

Renfield is brilliant, watch it!

Indeed, pretty sure OP said list celebs you don’t like for no reason, and yet here we are, with every reason under the sun being listed…

Tom cruise gives me the ick but David Tennant????

YOU TAKE THAT BACK. I love him 🥰

Jim Carey gives me the heebie jeebies and Eddie Murphy is a dick.

I don't think we would get along 😛Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy are legendary!

It's human nature to dislike and critique other humans, this thread isn't nasty, people are just saying they don't like other humans for no reason. It's not cruel it's just life!

Ewan Mcgregor. Want to punch the TV when he's on, hate his voice, hate his stupid grin. Hate everything he's in, and I am a Scot so it's nothing to do with that. I also hate James Mcavoy for some reason.

Tom Cruise. Bellend.

wow I hope none of those people mentioned read mumsnet.. not a nice thread.

Yes, I was tempted to chip in with mine but then I thought, it seems unfair and horrible to say I dislike someone when I have no actual reason for disliking them.

The OP specifically invited us to comment on famous people we dislike without having a reason for disliking them.

BeReet · 10/02/2024 11:58

Top of my list David Tennant, swiftly followed by Ant from A&D, then Richard Madeley.

A previous poster mentioned Timothee Chamolet (I htg have no idea how to spell it and I dislike him so much that I cba to get it right) Everything that poster said about him, I agree. I've never even watched a film with him in as I have such a negative reaction to the sight of him 😳

Sususudio · 10/02/2024 11:59

Yes, Timothee Chalamet really annoys me. ( Pretty sure he's not reading MN).

Love David Tennant though and find him very attractive.

your spidey senses are working perfectly

Another nasty thread about people we don’t know, how original.
