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?

Kiera Knightley, Hilary wank Jim Cary or Clint Eastwood

WhiteHartLane · 13/08/2017 21:08

Carol Vorderman, Sylvester Stallone and Joey Barton.

Tom hardy.so bloody ordinary. If he was walking down the street you wouldn't look at him twice.

Typically have you seen Daniel Radcliffe in anything since HP? I saw him in rosencranktz and guidenstein are dead and he was really good! He was acting, and not just being Harry Potter. I also thought he was quite good in the russian doctor's notebook. (Is that what it was called?)

And as others have said:
Jim Carey
Nicolas Cage
Adam Sandler
If any of the above are in a film I just dont bother watching it anymore.

I did see Keira Knightly on the Graham Norton show and warmed to her then, although I dont think much of her acting.

Andie McDowall, although I quite liked her in Groundhog Day to be fair. In fact, I only dislike her in Four Weddings. WHY in the name of Christ would he have preferred her over Kristen Scott Thomas?!! It beggars belief.

EEandEmakes3 · 13/08/2017 21:12

Catherine Zeta Jones another one who I think got lucky.

redexpat · 13/08/2017 21:12

Oh YY to Kirsten Stewart. She pouts and flicks her hair in everything she's in.

ilovegin112 · 13/08/2017 21:13

Oh yes Beverley callard plus Amanda Holden, Russell brand, Roy's late wife in Corrie and the woman from broadchurch

chipscheeseandcurrysauce · 13/08/2017 21:13

Katie Hopkins and Piers Morgan... complete and utter cunts.

I love the Fletchers though... they're the only YouTubers I like. Also they're brilliant authors 👌🏻

steff13 · 13/08/2017 21:13

Billie Piper is the WORST.
That fake posh voice....euuuugggghhhhh!

I'm not a fan. Terrible actress. Plus, I hate her black caterpillar eyebrows and horse teeth.

minionsrule · 13/08/2017 21:15

Joey Barton? Is he an actor? Or do you mean the thug footballer?

chipscheeseandcurrysauce · 13/08/2017 21:15

I know Hopkins and Morgan aren't actors/actresses but they're the ones I really can't stand.

squoosh · 13/08/2017 21:16

Actors who adopt posh accents midway through their career are the worst.

Billie Piper, Robson Green, Donna Air.

ollieplimsoles · 13/08/2017 21:16

Jamie oliver, russell brand, piers morgan, mel b

Irrational dislike is nearly always the justification used by the school bully for targeting his/her victim. Bullies often has major issues with self-esteem.

This thread gives an enlightening insight into the minds of school bullies and how their thought processes malfunction.

ollieplimsoles · 13/08/2017 21:18

Oh shit will ferrel is the WORST!

GinisLife · 13/08/2017 21:19

Jimmy Carr - not funny and full of himself
Kate Winslet
Angelina Jolie
Kiera Knightley
Peter Kay - funny but full of himself

NicolasFlamel · 13/08/2017 21:20

Kristen Stewart.. She is just completely vacant with that set jaw and vague look. I don't understand how she's successful.

Argeles · 13/08/2017 21:22

Jessica Alba
Olivia Coleman
Imelda Staunton
Julie Walters
Thandie Newton
Cameron Diaz
Kristen Stewart
Glenn Close
Reese Wetherspoon
Sandra Bullock

Ryan Reynolds
Matthew McConaghey
Owen Wilson
Will Ferrell

These are only the actors and actresses I can think of off the top of my head - I'm sure there are plenty more!

minionsrule · 13/08/2017 21:23

Gaynor Faye, wound me up in Corrie then when she left she appeared in quite a few drama's surprisingly written by her mum Kay Mellor i think her name was. Nepotism at its best.
Also can't stand James Corden, smug smug smug

I'm mostly forced to put up with children's TV these days so I just have to mention my irrational dislike of Justin Fletcher, especially as Mr Tumble. He's just soooo annoying!!

As for actors, I agree that Ewan McGregor is very irritating. And I also have to concede that Michael Caine only ever plays himself, but then so do Clint Eastwood and Sylvester Stallone.

NorthCoast · 13/08/2017 21:25

Completely agree with the people who said Martine McCutcheon and Natalie Cassidy.

Do I need to don a bullet-proof vest if I nominate Benedict Cumberbatch?

bbpp · 13/08/2017 21:25

Emma Watson, she can't act in the slightest. It "worked" as Hermione as it just because Hermiones personality but it really shows in things like Bling Ring and other things she's done. Also what was with the very intense British accent in B & the B? IT'S FRENCH.

Welshwabbit · 13/08/2017 21:26

I cannot stand Tom Hanks. It has got to the stage where I can't watch him in anything. There is absolutely no good reason for this, although I suspect it is rooted in my dislike for the film Forrest Gump (because I'm convinced it's misogynist, which is probably also unreasonable). I keep hearing stories about what a nice bloke he is which just makes me even more irrationally annoyed.

jajabonks · 13/08/2017 21:27

Keira knightly ever since pirates of the Caribbean when she says
You think that hurts, try wearing a corset - makes me really 😡
Plus the fella who does dead pool- can't watch it as I hate his voice so much
