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.

A bit old school but Lulu irritates the heck out of me. The affected Scottish accent when it suits her, I switch her straight off.

One of David Tennant's earlier roles was as a child abductor and murderer in an episode of The Bill called "Deadline".
If people saw it, perhaps that's why they find him creepy because he really was chilling.

David Mitchell. I do know why though, so it’s not an irrational dislike. He reminds me of my ex neighbour (they could almost be twins. They even sound the same) Anyway, he was a massive dickhead. I won’t watch anything with him in. The revulsion is overpowering.

I can’t stand his wife.

The guy who plays Harry Potter. Don’t know his name but anything he’s in I have to turn over, he’s just so twee

I didn't really think anything of Dominic West until he was caught canoodling Lily James. The canoodling a much younger co-star I would have thought is par for the course, but it was the 1980's politician 'My marriage is rock solid' statement afterwards. Does he really think so much of himself that he thinks people care about his marriage? Poor Lily James must have cringed herself inside out that she left the lovely Matt Smith for some silly old married guy!

That was weird. He's not that big a star. Even if he was, who other than his wife really needs to know who he's shagging?

I think his ego got a boost out of the whole thing. He seemed to love every second of it. His wife, probably not so much.

Mention of Kym Marsh reminds me- Myleene Klass defo belongs in this category.

Or My-clean Arse as some refer to her as… Grin

I agree. His wife looked like she was being held against her will!

I've been the same - except for Siobhan from the pottery thing. I like her.

Me too, at the beginning when she first started I wasn’t so sure, but she’s really settled into the role and I think adds something to thr program. I really like her. Would like to see her present more things. I’d watch if she did.

HelloStarlings · 10/02/2024 16:54

I nearly always disagree with MN. But found myself nodding at nearly every post.

Julia Robert’s, that stupid grin
Lorraine Kelley - need I say more?
James Cordon
Amanda Holden
Sarah cox
Zoe Ball
Lady Gaga - just boring, never got her appeal
Fiona Bruce- smug and superior
Nicholas cage - just weird
Kate Garraway - go away
Myleen Cass - let’s get naked with my violin
Meghan Markle - social climber extraordinaire
Gary Linekar - tbf I just hate his politics
Caitlin Moran - so full of herself and she writes mostly dribble’
Leonardo de Caprio, the most overrated actor ever, and now it turns out a bit creepy too.
david tennant, can’t watch him
kylie Minogue - talentless
Martin Lewis - sweaty type can’t put my finger on it
Nick Knowles - can’t see the point, but maybe good to have sex with?
Oprah Winfrey - success went to her head, now she’s a monetising hologram

I ❤️ Jim Carey though, at least as an actor

PrincessHoneysuckle · 10/02/2024 16:59

Mrsjayy · 10/02/2024 10:58

I think her real name is Sarah .

It's Sarah Anne but merged them

Janetime · 10/02/2024 16:59

Bit surprised by the David tennant hate, I like him. And find he often does good programs or films.

there are always some actors I find do things that tend to habe a good storyline. Nicole Kidman is another one.im not a fan, but find she picks decent things to star in.

i love lady gaga, Christ she’s talented, a brilliant actress with a phenomenal voice. Her and Bradley cooper nailed a star is born.

HelloStarlings · 10/02/2024 17:00

Oh and agree, Colleen Rooney, though don’t know why as she’s inoffensive enough; though maybe a bit of a stalwart “grabber” in life ?

HelloStarlings · 10/02/2024 17:02

Omg, I forgot Nicole Kidman. Great in the weather girl movie tbf, but everything else is mostly a passive, bland “look at me, I’m so attractive”. But she’s not a good actress IMHO. Didn’t she marry an influential producer? (just saying). And now she’s had all the bloody work on her face, ridiculous, so her face doesn’t even bloody move eg in Big Little Lies.

The 🍷 is kicking in 😂

Mistymist · 10/02/2024 17:08

Sandra Bullock
Julia Roberts
Gerard Butler

Karl Pilkington is definitely not a cling on wash your mouth out! 🤣
Hes never been bothered about being famous

He can get off the TV then can’t he if he’s not bothered 😂

It’s so cringe watching him try to be cool and funny. Uurrgghhh!!!

HelloStarlings · 10/02/2024 17:18

@Mistymist agree Sandra bullock, but not exactly sure why. Is it the smug thing? NOT good for an artist/actor - even if helpful for a normal person?

No she’s married to keith urban , he’s a very successful musician.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 10/02/2024 17:20

Elton John

I don't know why .
"Step Into Christmas" makes me want to stick earplugs in.

Not a fan <understatement>

HelloStarlings · 10/02/2024 17:23

@Janetime I stand corrected, thank you. I read that somewhere, obviously wrong. But to my mind she’s the female version of de Caprio, but perhaps more narcissistic vibe?

kerstina · 10/02/2024 17:42

For all those people moaning this is a mean thread. They are all hugely successful people I am sure they understand by now they are not going to be everyones cup of tea!
Lorraine Kelly used to be lovely but has morphed into a bit of a bitch. I blame the menopause and can sympathise.
Not keen on Myleene Klass
James Cordon
Vogue Williams
I don’t like smugness or arrogance.
Love Yasmin Aliby Brown and Ben Fogle though.

Sususudio · 10/02/2024 17:43

I very much doubt that Timotheeeeeeee Chalamet is going to be browsing MN to see what we think of him.

HelloStarlings · 10/02/2024 17:44

@kerstina imo Ben fogle is harmless. I wouldn’t choose to watch him, and I can’t remember how he got “famous”, but I think he’s a genuine person.

Mylene Klass! I have always found her so irritating. She doesn’t seem to do anything in particular, I’m really not sure what it is. But whenever I see her on tv I just feel like 🙄
