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?

Maybe because I don't rate Knightley as an actress, she seems so controlled and false

headinhands · 13/08/2017 23:19

James Corden. Eugh. Trying too hard to be 'funny friend of guy you fancy'.

CremeFresh · 13/08/2017 23:22

My elderly parents could fill this thread with the people they dislike !

Matt Baker, Bruce Forsyth, Ant and Dec, Gabby Roslin, Michael McIntyre, Claire Balding, every single weather presenter , Eamon and Ruth, Phillip Schofield. They like John McEnroe though.

Not a dislike exactly but i'm always highly suspicious of Michael Fassbender Hmm whenever I see him interviewed, I feel like he's hiding something Grin

emmyrose2000 · 13/08/2017 23:28

Keira Knightley - can't act and has some really weird thing going on with her mouth/jaw.

Tom Cruise - think he's quite good as an actor really, but his weird, creepy off screen stuff has ruined his on screen persona for me.

Rebel Wilson - can't act.

Melissa George - annoying and can't act.

Brad Pitt -he seems like a nice guy in real life, but can't see the hype on screen or why he's considered a hearthrob.

Angelina Jolie - annoying.

Loving this thread, makes me realise that it's not just me.

A few to add to my earlier list:
Neil Morrisey
Kate Winslet
Elaine Paige
Barbara Windsor

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 13/08/2017 23:32

Well thanks OP...according to best friends and sisters I am the image of Melissa George!! 😩😩so thanks a bundle!!

Tilda Swinton. She strikes me as being smug up to her eyeballs. She also reminds me of the Dad from The Boy From Space

zukiecat · 13/08/2017 23:44

Judi Dench
Helen Mirren
Jennifer Anniston

Tom Cruise
Brad Pitt

LuluJakey1 · 13/08/2017 23:47

James McAvoy is a scawny, pale, drab, plain, little, arrogant man who thinks he is hilarious.
I have only ever seen him on Graham Norton for 10mins but that was my feeling and I can not bear to look at him or hear his name.

CarrieBradshaw85 · 13/08/2017 23:50

Maisie Williams-posh toffee nosed so and so with the head of an eternal 12 year old on a woman's' body. Emma Watson apparently is a right madam IRL

LapCatLicker "Daniel 'over-acting, shit-eating grin wearing, smuggy mcsmugface' Washington. I avoid everything he's in, it's not rational."

I've never heard of him and Google hasn't helped either. Confused

CarrieBradshaw85 · 13/08/2017 23:53

Daniel Radcliffe ugh, seen better acting in reception nativities

LightDrizzle · 13/08/2017 23:54

Jim Carey

SuckingEggs · 13/08/2017 23:56

Lorraine Kelly is wonderful IRL. Really nice woman.

BabychamSocialist · 13/08/2017 23:57

Cameron Diaz strikes me as someone I would want to slap after 30 seconds with her.

Gwyneth Paltrow can get in the bin as well. Although that's not irrational, I think everyone thinks she's an absolutely pretentious twat.

Frecklemcspeckles · 14/08/2017 00:02

I am so shocked at Tom Hanks!! He is my absolute favourite actor ever. He's a legend. Lives every single part!! From Big to Castaway to Captain Phillips and then the Hudson I love every one!!!!
Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise... Meh nightmare!

BabychamSocialist · 14/08/2017 00:02

Johnny Depp or, as he's known between me and DP, 'that cunt'. DP can't stand him and has to leave the room if he comes on TV!

On the upside, it means he got to avoid suffering through any of the Pirates of the Caribbean films like I had to.

BabychamSocialist · 14/08/2017 00:05

I used to dislike Daniel Radcliffe as well and thought of him as Harry Potter. Then DS1 made me watch some film called Imperium where he plays a cop undercover in a Neo-Nazi organisation and he's PHENOMENAL in it!

He's definitely been doing some interesting movies, according to DS and if they're as good as Imperium then he's got a good career ahead of him.

Actor/ DJ/ boxer/ soft-drinks pusher/ Superdry pusher/ "please talk about the fact that I no longer want to talk about playing Bond" Idris Elba.

You don't mean Denzel Washington do you?

He is brilliant in Cry Freedom

Beadieeye · 14/08/2017 00:15

Agree with loads of these.
Scarlet johansson. Always looks gormless! She did a perfume ad a few Christmasses ago that was absolutely excruciating to watch. I think she was meant to look seductive but she just looked bloody gormless and vacant.
Had to get this one off my chest because no one agrees with me irl

Dustbunny1900 · 14/08/2017 00:17

im surprised st the James mcavoy hate. I think he's wicked cute.

Of course Kiera. It's the strange underbite.
And Emma pube-oil Watson
Tom cruise for being a complete cockgobble who won't..just..go..away already!
Kate beckinsale for no reason whatsoever.
Cillian Murphy . Big lips vacant stare. Looks like a bored fish
Chris fucking rock. Biggest asshole in the Western Hemisphere
Angelina Jolie . Used to like her before the brad Pitt era
Kate winslets mouth annoys me
So does Alicia Silverstones
Dane cook. Nuff said

God, I feel like a judgemental bitch

PetalHead · 14/08/2017 00:17

Anna friel - aaaarrrggh! I'm always disappointed in anything she's in because she winds me up so much.

Matthew Mcconaughey, ugh so up himself. I don't feel like I'm watching a character, just him fancying himself.

Clive Owen, I just can;t understand how he ever became an actor. It's like someone just asked the nearest binman to read some lines out because he happened to be handy. (No offence to binmen!)

Dustbunny1900 · 14/08/2017 00:18

Oh and viggo has really creepy teeth
