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?

Tell them they come across as very smug to lots of people, Huffle. I'm sure they won't mind, they seem to be very successful.

Also, they're selling their family and their children's childhood, no better than the Saccone-Joly family.

Not actors, but Nigella Lawson and Kirstie Allsop give me the rage.

Out2pasture · 13/08/2017 19:48

I'm appreciate they are talented at what they along with the rest of the camera crew do, but they are overpaid, and I don't care what so ever what they do in their private life. I don't care what they look like without make up, who they date, or what they name their children.

That bloke who played Berger in last season of sex and the city and dumped Carrie by post it I fucking hate him just typing this makes my teeth grind. He's in band of brothers and it ruins the whole bloody thing for me

Probably not his fault but his character was such a passive aggressive woman hating gas lighting cunt I wanted him to die.

Persemillion · 13/08/2017 19:48

Emma Watson
Idris Elba
James McAvoy
and...
James Nesbbit

I refuse to watch anything with them and Melissa George annoys me to no end.

MrsJamesAspey · 13/08/2017 19:48

Martine mccutcheon or whatever her name is, although can she be classed as an actress. Seems there's only one character she can do and that's martine

It made me intensely mad that apparently that series with her and Jason Donovan a couple of years ago was apparently written as a vehicle for her!!!! WHY!!!!! How many favours has she done to get all the preferential treatment that she does Angry

And breathe 😂😂😂

Julia Roberts. Can't abide her simpering.
Shia LeBeouf - charisma vacuum
Tom Hanks winds me up.

Seren85 · 13/08/2017 19:51

Joanna Lumley. Totally irrational but I can't help it. I used to feel the same about Felicity Kendal but I saw an interview with her and really warmed to her.

Izzabellasasperella · 13/08/2017 19:52

Any actor/actress who appears in an advert for gambling sites, they go straight to my hate list. Apart from Paul Kaye I have a soft spot for him.

Yorkshirebetty · 13/08/2017 19:52

Peely Wally! Excellent. So true.

Nirvana1979 · 13/08/2017 19:52

Andie McDowall. Totall ruined 4 Weddings

Shyposter · 13/08/2017 19:53

Not an actress but Louise Minchin - I will turn the tv off whenever I see her smug face. And I agree with the pp about Joanna Lumley too.

aaaaargghhhhelpme · 13/08/2017 19:53

Keeley Hawes. I'm sure she's lovely but I can't watch anything with her in it. There's an ad with her on at the mo. I have to turn it off or shout at the telly.

Yorkshirebetty · 13/08/2017 19:54

Keira Knightly. Don't get all the hype.

EEandEmakes3 · 13/08/2017 19:55

Another one for Kiera & the way she likes to jut her chin forward when she talks. Tom Cruise, just creepy, James Corden & Jude Law. He strikes me as someone who got lucky.

deadringer · 13/08/2017 19:56

Hugh bloody stuttery dithery Grant!

Jojoanna · 13/08/2017 19:56

James Nesbit can't stand him

Huffletuff · 13/08/2017 19:56

I find it hard to see how someone is being smug when most of their posts at the moment are about raising money for charity. They really won't care what random people on Mumsnet think :)

Huffletuff · 13/08/2017 19:57

James Corden is a huge knob in real life. Arrogant and egotistical.

applebags · 13/08/2017 19:57

Andie McDowell. Didn't like her in Groundhog Day even watching it as a child, and she ruined the otherwise awesome Four Weddings and a Funeral. "Is it raining? I hadn't noticed". Oh fuck off.

Yes also to Keira Knightly!

Bumdishcloths · 13/08/2017 19:58

Nicole Kidman
Care Blanchett
Jude Law

Can't stand them or their smug bloody faces, cannot verbalise why.

MsGameandWatching · 13/08/2017 19:58

Nicole Kidman. I just don't find her believable in anything she does.

Bumdishcloths · 13/08/2017 19:58

@applebags

YES ANDIE MCDOWELL TOO!

And Minnie Driver.

Ollycat · 13/08/2017 19:59

Kevin Costner - fortunately he's not as round as much now but this is a hatred I've had for many years.

Tom Cruise is a bit of a twat and Angelina Jolie is sooooooo self absorbed!

candypanda283 · 13/08/2017 19:59

I have a completely irrational hate of both James and Dave Franco. I can't even look at a picture with them in without wanting to headbutt it.
