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?

Lorraine Kelly is lovely IRL but I'm biased because she's Scottish Wink

Idris Elba, I've seen wardrobes with more personality and acting skills.

TypicallyEnglishMustard · 13/08/2017 19:25

Oh, and another not actor, but please can I include Zoella?

What an insufferable moron. She's thick as two short planks, just take a look at her Twitter, she can't spell or use grammar at all, and is supposedly an "author"?

Tom Fletcher gets a stay from me only because of the 'dinosaur that pooped a planet/Christmas' etc books Wink

squoosh

James McAvoy is pure sex on legs! I think it's the voice... [misses point of thread]

I'll add Michael Caine to the list. If his name is in the credits I'm automatically going to hate it.

Elizabeth Hurley can get right in the bin as well. There's just something about her - she ruins The Royals for me!

Oh how can i forget Jude friggin law his face bothers me

TypicallyEnglishMustard · 13/08/2017 19:27

Elizabeth McGovern, but only in Downton Abbey. Simpering "Oh, Rawbert" endlessly...

MrsJayy · 13/08/2017 19:27

Some of these replies are not actors just folk you don't like 😁

vikingprincess81 · 13/08/2017 19:28

I used to hate Jack Whitehall when he did his posh twat bits on panel shows, but after watching bad education not the film though, it's fucking terrible I warmed to him too. Maybe I need to stop watching panel shows HmmGrin

Again not an actor/actress but it's Amanda Holden for me.

Also can't stand Tom Fletcher and his wife.

lidoshuffle · 13/08/2017 19:28

James Nesbitt AND Fay Ripley. Cold Feet was hell.

squoosh · 13/08/2017 19:29

I was worried Lorraine, Ruth, and Eamon had taken up acting!

Although to be fair Ruth does a very good impression of a woman who actually likes Eamon Holmes. That must take proper acting chops.

IAmTheDragon · 13/08/2017 19:29

Yes on the Fletchers. The sister, Carrie too! Nightmares, all of them.

AnnMeredithPerkins · 13/08/2017 19:30

(breathes a sigh of relief... really thought i was going to get my arse handed to me on a plate here)

i'd forgotten about Keira Knightly.... that faux 'oh look at me...'

Emilia Clarke. Poor actor, super annoying laugh IRL, but I mostly hate her because I also detest Daenerys fucking Targaryan.

I still love GoT, though.

squoosh · 13/08/2017 19:30

Again not an actor/actress but it's Amanda Holden for me.

She started out as an actress. I used to like that show she was in about a hair salon in Manchester.

FoofFighter · 13/08/2017 19:31

Christopher Ecclestone. The only thing I liked him in is Fortitude. Which if you've watched it you'll realise why!

He is so wooden and one faceted.

squoosh · 13/08/2017 19:32

James McAvoy is pure sex on legs!

NO
NO
And thrice NO.

He's a small pale bloke with a non-descript face.

BossyBitch · 13/08/2017 19:32

Also, Nicolas Cage, for real life reasons. He and I had a bit of a run in at my work about a decade ago. I like watching him die on screen because he deserves it. Blush

MrsJayy · 13/08/2017 19:33

Oh that was cutting it with Angela whatsherface sqoosh

Laiste · 13/08/2017 19:33

Bloody Susanna Reid! I'd rather watch a thousand Kiera's than watch one minute of SRs hair flicking and faux innocent knicker flashing. Grrr.

squoosh · 13/08/2017 19:35

Oh tell me more Bossy!

myusernamewastaken · 13/08/2017 19:35

I agree re Tom Cruise...a real weirdo...there is a vid on youtube of him being squirted in the face at a film premiere....its hilarious....serves him right...
I also dont like Russell Crowe but im not sure why....he makes me angry..

squoosh · 13/08/2017 19:35

Cutting It, that's the one. That was enjoyable nonsense.

Gib1234 · 13/08/2017 19:35

Jim Carey_ don't know why but he really really irritates me
