Totally irrational dislike for actors/actresses??

What is it about certain actors/actresses that just make you dislike them for no reason at all?
I was just looking at the web and Melissa George (Home and Away, and others) and i just really don't like her. I have no idea why though? I don't dislike other female actresses?

do you dislike anyone famous for no reason?

Keira knightly

80% for the bit in love actually where she goes "oh, I look.... quite.... PRETTY" oh fuck off

The remaining hatred is for the annoying vacant pout she always does

Jennypug · 13/08/2017 19:14

Emma Watson.... Can't bear to watch her in anything but I can't really explain why.

QueenMortificado · 13/08/2017 19:15

Oh and Emma Watson for utterly overdoing being English and doing a furrowed brow / vacant stare all the damn time

squoosh · 13/08/2017 19:16

James McAvoy. Especially when he's described as a heart throb.

NO.

He looks like your average peely wally, bloke on the street.

QueenMortificado - Keira knightly

Bloody beaten me to it Grin

She's so simpering and try hard. No character at all.

sonlypuppyfat · 13/08/2017 19:16

I second Emma Watson very boring, I'm not keen on Bruce Willis either

MrsMoastyToasty · 13/08/2017 19:17

Keira Knightly. Just because she hardly ever blinks.

SaucyJack · 13/08/2017 19:17

I cannot abide Ruth Langsford or Eamonn Holmes- but I don't personally think there's anything irrational about it.

TheMasterNotMargarita · 13/08/2017 19:17

Nicholas Cage.
Cannot watch him, his face looks all melty. He gives me the boak and cringe simultaneously.
And I feel guilty cos probably hes really nice.

squoosh · 13/08/2017 19:17

Oh yeah Emma Watson, a hamster has more range than Emma Watson. Although I read that due to the success of Beauty and the Beast she's currently Hollywood's most bankable female star. Madness!

haba · 13/08/2017 19:17

Gary Oldman. Just don't like him, sorry, I'm sure he's lovely, and he's a good actor, I just have taken against him.

TypicallyEnglishMustard · 13/08/2017 19:17

Emma Watson. Such a terrible job of Hermione. Irrational, because I think a lot of that was down to scripting and direction, too.

Daniel Radcliffe with equal measure, as he can't act AT ALL.

Sigh. The Harry movies were such a let-down to me.

Laiste · 13/08/2017 19:18

And for the male vote ... Nicolas blasted Cage. Oh god - the same one face all the bloody time - 'confused concern furrowed brow'.

BelafonteRavenclaw · 13/08/2017 19:18

Tom Cruise. He creeps me out. I find everything about him so false and the whole Scientology thing is bizarre. I can't watch anything with him in anymore.

TartanDMs · 13/08/2017 19:19

Jack Nicholson. Something about him grates on me. I detest Lorraine Kelly too but couldn't explain why.

PuppyMonkey · 13/08/2017 19:19

It's always Keira Knightley on these threads. Like playing bingo.

ShutTheFridgeUp · 13/08/2017 19:19

Nicholas cage, Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise, Melissa Joan heart and Vanessa Hudgens. Ugh!

squoosh · 13/08/2017 19:19

Nicholas Cage is a terrible actor. But I love Con Air and I love the The Family Man. So he gets a stay of execution from me.

Mooey89 · 13/08/2017 19:19

Keira knightly and Emma Watson here too. Eugh.
Absolutely no reason why, but I cannot stand them.

TypicallyEnglishMustard · 13/08/2017 19:19

Another vote for Tom Cruise. I refuse to watch anything if he's in it.

Laiste · 13/08/2017 19:19

Leave Emma alone!

(she's the spit of my eldest (only 3 years between them) and i love her Grin)

vikingprincess81 · 13/08/2017 19:21

Keira Knightley here too, can't bloody stand her. No idea why. And Cat Deeley. She rubs me up the wrong way completely. Emilia Clarke is gorgeous though and she's totally on my list of famous people I'm allowed to sleep with if I meet them, so is Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Didn't used to like Lee Mack, but warmed to him after reading his book.
All completely irrational but Grin

MrsJayy · 13/08/2017 19:21

Daniel Ratcliffe in anything other than you know what he was a very lucky kid but he is a terrible actor.

TypicallyEnglishMustard · 13/08/2017 19:21

Not actors, but can I also put in a bid for Tom and Gio-something Fletcher? Insufferable smugs.

ForFuckSakeSusan · 13/08/2017 19:22

I second Tom Cruise, I think it stems from the Oprah Winfrey jumping up and down on the sofa incident. Cringe.

Also cannot stand Natalie Cassidy (Sonia from Eastenders) I get angry just looking at her!
