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?

I know they're not actors but Lorraine Kelly and Coleen Nolan I don't like. I can imagine they are not as down to earth and likeable as they appear on tv. Giovanna Fletcher I do really like.

The woman off the oral b dentist advert (I didn't know Oral B did a toothpaste)

Oh God yes; I wish something very heavy would fall on her and squash her. Why is she so excited and surprised to learn that a toothbrush company also makes toothpaste? Never mind her teeth; it's her brain she should be worried about.

Tom Cruise. I find him really creepy, but can't put my finger on why.

Lisa kundrow's nostrils annoy me. I'm a nose person.

SkafaceClaw · 13/08/2017 20:02

Pierce Brosnan.

Thank goodness it is not just me that gets this - I just cannot stand him.

martiniwini · 13/08/2017 20:02

Kudrow*

GoldenHoops · 13/08/2017 20:04

Judy Dench.

Self-satisfied, then (re: the Fletchers). Great that they do charity work, so do plenty of people. But I find them incredibly self-satisfied in themselves. I was sent her book for review, and she had written some smug statement hand-written inside the cover, along the lines of imparting wisdom about child-rearing that no one would expect to learn or knew previously.

Oh, fuck off, love.

squoosh · 13/08/2017 20:04

Casey Affleck. Although that's not irrational, he seems like a total sleaze. And worse.

Namesarehard · 13/08/2017 20:05

That actress from twilight. Miserable bitch.

Rainbunny · 13/08/2017 20:05

I've developed a dislike of Kate Beckinsale. I've liked her in a few movies (non-vampire ones) but seeing her on a chat show recently she was incredibly contrived and fake, just trying too hard. I also view her (highly unreasonably) as desperately trying to look like a twenty year old which is beginning to look a bit sad. I'm sure she's probably absolutely lovely in RL but you know...

I've always intensely disliked Jim Carey as well - he is just not funny, Adam Sandler as well and I secretly judge people who find them amusing.

Angelina Jolie. She sets my teeth, skin and entire brain on edge.

That 'quirky' cook...the one with the 'look at my cool trendy bohemian lifestyle, I cook everything on one hob and I'm just like Amelie' one....Rachel Khoo.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 13/08/2017 20:06

Amanda Holden, Gerard Butler and yes of course Keira Knightley. Dh can't stand Gwyneth Paltrow, maybe understandable but he said she's plain looking tooConfused If she's plain I don't know what the hell he thinks I look like. Grin

iamyourequal · 13/08/2017 20:08

Oh my goodness. I cant believe thete are folk upthread who don't like Tommy Cruise and Idris Elba! !
The annoying ones are those who cant act very well. Im thinking Kirsten Stewart, Julia Stiles. Jude Law and Cillian Murphy can't act, but are both pretty easy on the eye! Any actress/actor who takes themselves too seriously and bleats on about their 'craft' and 'art' is a pain in the bot too!

YoullShootYourEyeOut · 13/08/2017 20:08

Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson. But not for no reason, they are both arseholes. Singers however would have to be Mariah Carey, no major reasons, but I detest her.

TypicallyEnglishMustard · 13/08/2017 20:09

On the subject of cooks, the Lean in 15 bloke winds me up. Why does he scream all his instructions at the camera? Just buy a microphone and use that!

And Jamie Oliver. Pretentious twat.

SaucyJack · 13/08/2017 20:09

I get what you mean about Lisa Kudrow martini. I feel the same about David Tennant's nostrils.

Flapping away like a marquee in a high winds.

Rainbunny · 13/08/2017 20:10

I would add Tom Cruise to my list but I know someone who has worked with him several times and he says he is an absolutely lovely bloke.

Thetimeisnotnow · 13/08/2017 20:11

Mylene Klass, Keira Knightly, The Fletchers, Jenny Falconer, Ben Shepard and Lisa from Eastenders.

CAN.NOT.STAND.THEM.

The are the visual/audio equivalent of nails down a blackboard.

That's my first ever post on mumsnet after loitering for years 🙈

Mayhemmumma · 13/08/2017 20:12

Emma 'i'm such a feminist' Watson. I disagree.

Kirbs1979 · 13/08/2017 20:12

Jason Statham, can't stand him, can't watch any film with him in it.

Thetimeisnotnow · 13/08/2017 20:12

And Jamie Oliver

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 13/08/2017 20:12

Rosie Whoever Whitley. She's annoying. I don't like pouting and tottering.

counterpoint · 13/08/2017 20:13

Lorraine Kelley and Meryl Streep.
Both come over as completely false and desperate for stardom and domination.
Plenty of other interviewers or actresses would have done a better job given a chance.

Brittbugs80 · 13/08/2017 20:14

How, how can you like Tom and Gi Fletcher?! Seriously, what is their appeal?

I love the Dinosaur pooped Christmas, McFly had some catchy songs and they come across as normal. I just want to give them a cuddle and pinch their cheeks!!
