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?

Andy McDowell gives me the rage.

Angelina Jolie. I'm sure she's lovely and her actions (years of charity work) support that, but I can never shake off an unwarranted feeling that she's fake and secretly horrible.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy. It's actually their fan clubs that piss me off, but I associate them with their shrieking fans...

Hate hate Tom cruise. False and cringe

Cameron Diaz and that massive mouth

WhatALoadOfOldBollocks · 14/08/2017 18:21

I know she's not an actress but...
Holly fucking Willoughby - no talent, just got where she is with tits, smiles and flirting.

James twatface Corden - talentless wanker who for some reason has become successful. Maybe he has some dirt on someone high up.

Idris Elba - used to fancy him until I saw him interviewed. He pretended to not understand why he was a sex symbol, then immediately started flirting with the women in the audience (cringeworthingly hinting at the size of his cock). Bet he has a huge ego but pretends not to. Also alluded to thinking male children are more valuable than female children. Fuck off.

Bruce Forsyth - says something unfunny and scripted then waits for the audience to laugh with a stupid expression on his face. He makes my skin crawl too.

Cameron Diaz - just too bubbly and animated in interviews. Sets my nerves on edge.

Carol Klein (Gardeners World) - always way too excited and cheerful. Is she on something?! Calm the fuck down love.

David Walliams - seems so creepy and sleazy
Oh yes. I could imagine him having some food-based sexual fetish.

Ryan Gosling has a wonky face and his eyes are too small and close together. His lack of facial symmetry bothers me. Jake Gyllenhal is the same. I also cannot abide Emma Stone, so La La Land would have been my worst nightmare had I sullied my eyes with it. She's like an old raspy fag smoking lady trapped in a young woman's body. She may be possessed, for all I know.

mygorgeousmilo · 14/08/2017 18:28

Smug faced twatty bastard Jude Law. Nicholas Cage, obvs. Eamon Holmes and his equally wanky wife, whatserface. Keira Knightley too - chuck her into the same slop bucket as other "English rose" "nations sweetheart" types Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe. Agree with the Tom Cruise hate, too! Ever since I realised what his personality was like, I just can't watch him in anything. This new info has ruined the 80s classics like Top Gun etc for me. Dick. Ryan Gosling??? Why is he a heartthrob? He's puny and boring. Toby Maguire in the Spider-Man films that my kids love, gormless thing that he is.

Wow, this is bringing out a delightful side of me Shock

Bridget Moynahan. Seems like an uptight insufferable bitch.

And Sean Connery for being an absolutely horrific human being and beating his wife/being quoted as saying sometimes women deserve a good beating to put them in their place

mygorgeousmilo · 14/08/2017 18:32

Oh yes another one Amanda Holden - she's a nasty bitch, I just can feel it!

Ah so-called personalities are allowed too. Right.
James Cordon
Beckham Inc
Cheryl Tweedy or whatever her name is now.

Tom Hardy far to up his own backside and very pouty. I think i need to delete my Mn account after that confession

Haha! He can't help the size and shape of his lips. He's ok. Most mumsnet women fancy him rotten.

nina2b · 14/08/2017 18:42

Looks like an otter!!!! Brilliant.

Margotsmom · 14/08/2017 18:47

Dannii Minogue I cannot stand! Is she even an actress ? Oh well 😊

HazelBite · 14/08/2017 18:48

Cara Delavigne and Bruce Forsyth

Kazzyhoward · 14/08/2017 18:50

Judy Dench - I just can't see why so many people think she's wonderful. From what I've seen of her, she's not acting, just playing the same part in whatever she does. No doubt I've missed some truly inspiring performances, but from what I've seen, it's always the same dull, sour faced performance.

BabychamSocialist · 14/08/2017 18:59

Kazzyhoward

To be fair, she has basically been doing the same roles recently. However, if you can get hold of the 1968 Cabaret recording she was in, you'll see why she's so well-respected - totally different type of role for her. Notes on a Scandal is another where she plays against type, and it really works because she seems like such a sweet old lady!

Butterymuffin · 14/08/2017 19:06

Thandie Newton. So irritating in ER and then Mission Impossible 2. I've read that she's nice and that she's really good in Westworld but I can't face it.

Am Shock at a few of these though. Meryl Streep 'desperate for stardom'?? Harrison Ford???

KatsutheClockworkOctopus · 14/08/2017 19:11

Kate "I'm so down to earth did I mention all my Oscars" Winslet

Julia Roberts

YY to Billie Piper. I found her so wooden in Dr Who and had no clue why everyone loved her. To me she always looks like she's thinking " I am Billie Piper and I am Acting"

Disclaimer- I'm sure they are all lovely in rl

JuicyCake · 14/08/2017 19:21

I'm fascinated by actors / celebs that are my age (41). I love looking a their morphing faces, tragic love lives & crazy antics...
Martine McCutcheon, Anna Friel & Tara Reid are all DM click bait for me. Also enjoyed reading Ant McPartlin's drug hell in The Sun, at the weekend.
Don't hate any of these people as such, just love judging their crazy lives... I'd say that Amanda Holden & Anthea Turner were on my dislike radar.

Junebugjr · 14/08/2017 19:31

I know he's not an actor but I have to share the insufferable prick James Arthur
He sings like he's got a boiled egg in his mouth.
And there's emoting when performing, but his style of singing seems to be sounding like he's on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
I hate him!!

musicalsangeloftheopera · 14/08/2017 19:37

FFS, disliking someone for their physical appearance??? It's not like they can do much to change it!

If someone made similar comments to you or your dear darling kids, you'd be outraged and - rightly -ranting about bullying.

How is this any different just cos it's on a public forum?

Twatting hypocrites Angry

GhettoFabulous · 14/08/2017 19:45

Oh, Billie Piper. Have you seen her in Penny Dreadful? The worst Belfast accent on the face of the earth followed by the worst English one. Given that she is English I'm not sure how she managed to fuck it up, other than being talentless. And why is she always cast as a sexpot, given she's clearly the bastard child of the Banana Splits.

Totally irrational dislike for actors/actresses??
Rainbunny · 14/08/2017 20:00

Oh just remembered I also dislike Jessica Raine (Call the Midwife) and Tom Goodman-Hill (Mr Selfridge) but it's purely based upon the fact that they had an affair and he dumped his wife and children to marry her.
