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?

Will Ferrell
Ben Stiller

Amy Schumer is so annoying. Can't stand Rebel Wilson and refuse to watch any film she is in.

Suranne Jones is, I think, a terrible actress and a face I would love to punch.

Not actors but I can't stand Carol Vorderman, Lesley Garrett and Coleen Nolan - all so smug and full of themselves

OxfordshireLass · 13/08/2017 20:46

Tom Hanks - too good to be true
Rob Brydon
Tom Cruise
Emily Ratawolzslski - or however you spell it

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 13/08/2017 20:48

Tom Cruise and Kate Winslet, I can't even bear to see photos of either of them let alone actually watch them in a film.

MummyIsAFreeElf · 13/08/2017 20:48

Kirsten Stewart, Robert Pattenson, Kiera Knightly, Nicholas Cage (refuse to watch anything with him in it. Instantly puts me in a fowl mood) Elijah Wood simpering pitiful little prick!! Stephen Fry (acted in the hobbit so it counts!) used to love him until he put spoilers of Star Wars Force Awakens up on twitter a few days after it was released so is justified unlike the rest 😂 Matt Smith I just want to punch him in the face. Stopped watching dr who the day he was cast. It's just his face. Literally just his face. William Shatner ... I'm going to stop myself now I could go on for days 😂

HunterofStars · 13/08/2017 20:48

Tom Cruise as he's very creepy. Gwyneth Paltrow does my head in too but don't know why. My dbro can't stand the actress who plays Fiz in Coronation Street and he absolutely hates Shane Ritchie. I also hate Jim Carey as he reminds me of my ex.

dingdongdigeridoo · 13/08/2017 20:49

James Nesbit. Dunno why. Maybe he's overly nice and I sense he has a dark side? I instantly switch over when he's on.

Can't stand Anna Kendrick. Maybe it's the teeth? I'm sure she's lovely but no.

Valeriemalorie · 13/08/2017 20:51

Jim Carrey
Adam Sandler
Keith Lemon - not an actor I know i cannot stand him

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 13/08/2017 20:51

'Suranne Jones is, I think, a terrible actress and a face I would love to punch.'

And yes, her too. I couldn't remember her name. She's in loads of things my mum likes, but she can't act but for some reason always looks so pleased with herself. Then again, I suppose if I was paid a lot of money to do something I had no aptitude for I'd probably be pretty pleased with myself too.

TriniRedVelvet · 13/08/2017 20:52

Angela Jolie, Keira Knightley, Idris Elba, James Corden, Carrie Moss. James Nesbitt, Jack Black, Paul Giamatti, Helen McRory, Sophie Okonedo. I'm sure there's more.

Mustang27 · 13/08/2017 20:53

I'm shocked at James Mcavoy and Gary Oldman I think they are both superb actors!!!

Haha to Christopher eccleston in fortitude, he is mostly a corpse love it.

You hate Billy Connolly ShockShockShock.

I stopped reading after this as it's so upsetting lol everyone hates the ppl I love. I'm going into hiding!!!

Allyg1185 · 13/08/2017 20:53

Matthew Mcconaughey. Cannot stand him

CarolinePenvenen · 13/08/2017 20:54

Sarah Lancashire - bores the shit out of me with her whiny voice.
Andie MacDowell - beautiful woman, just looks...dunno, smug.
Johnny Depp - Creepy McCreepy

JeReviens · 13/08/2017 20:58

Tom Hanks. Miranda Hart - she really gives me the stone cold zig.
Anyone on Loose Women. Loathsome shrieking harpies! Sharon fucking Osborne.
Many more.

WashingMatilda · 13/08/2017 20:59

The OP asked for 'irrational' dislike.
Keira Knightley is not irrational, it is completely understandable Smile

I'm.adding Nicole Kidman to the mix. I can't stand that woman. No idea why.

Hygge · 13/08/2017 20:59

mydogisthebest - Rebel Wilson isn't on my dislike list, but the only film I've ever seen her in is Bridesmaids, and I'm really sorry but she was sitting next to that bald bloke from Little Britain (hate that, hate him, hate David Walliams), his name is Matt something and I thought that she was him in drag for the film.

But they do that, he does that, I thought he was playing both rolls as they were meant to be brother and sister. Also I didn't like that film so I wasn't paying proper attention.

It was months later when she was on an advert for some kind of internet provider and I was looking at her thinking "why have they got that man from Little Britain in drag as that woman from Bridesmaids...oh!" that I realised she was a woman.

So now I try to be charitable towards her to make up for thinking she was the man from Little Britain.

WashingMatilda · 13/08/2017 21:00

Oh and Michael Caine is a shit actor. Plays the same character over and over again.
There I've said it

augustusglupe · 13/08/2017 21:01

Hygge Grin

bigmouthstrikesagain · 13/08/2017 21:01

I shall join in with the Tom Cruise hate - I only like films were he is the baddie or at least meant to be unlikable. The bloke from The Waltons, John Boy, gives me the heebie jeebies. Glenn Close and Mia Farrow and Michael Douglas all creepy.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 13/08/2017 21:05

Oh and David Walliams gives me the creeps.

Hygge · 13/08/2017 21:05

augustus - I know! Blush

If she'd been sitting next to anyone else, any other man in the entire world, I would have known she was a woman. But she was sitting next to him. It's not my fault!

CremeFresh · 13/08/2017 21:05

Brian Blessed is awful
