For me the biggest one is Jacob Rees Mogg. He puts the fear of God in me. He reminds me of some villain in a horror film. If I see him on TV or a picture of him I actually get the chills.

I also find a really unsettling energy about Louis Walsh and David Walliams.

For me it's the actor Timothy Chalamet or is it "Timothee"? I find him so creepy I haven't been able to watch the new Dune film because he has such a big part in it. I tried watching "The King" but had to switch it off because of him. I just get a horrible vibe off him and that may not be rational nor reasonable but I do and that's that!
David Walliams seems a bit iffy to me as well.
TBH , I suspect there's still a fair few dark people in the entertainment industry, that the ones we know about-Savile, Harris, Weinstein, Combs- are just the tip of the iceberg and if we did know, we could be very shocked, disillusioned ,disgusted and outraged. It's just one of those occupations that attracts people who are high in narcissistic traits (who could even be classed as having Cluster B PDs) and not who they present themselves to be.
We might never know either, which I find disturbing!

Definitely David Walliams.

Also Stephen Fry

GameOfJones · 12/10/2024 17:15

I also came on to say David Walliams. I refuse to let DD1 read his books. Tbh there have been plenty of rumours about him over the years so I don't think it's something inexplicable.

Bushmillsbabe · 12/10/2024 17:18

Jim Carrey, I don't know why, I find him soon creepy. Maybe as the first film I saw him in was The Mask, which is creepy anyway.

And my local MP is super creepy, she has a weird high pitched fake laugh

Bangwam1 · 12/10/2024 17:19

Ian Duncan Smith

AngryBird6122 · 12/10/2024 17:21

Justin timberlake gives me the ick

HappierTimesAhead · 12/10/2024 17:22

Eamonn Holmes

Tony Blair, his smile always made me think of the snake in the jungle book.

cherrytree12345 · 12/10/2024 17:23

Russell Brand

Ilovechees3 · 12/10/2024 17:24

Jim Carey, he is creepy when he smiles

cheezncrackers · 12/10/2024 17:24

I've met David Walliams. He was VERY charming, in a rather unnerving way. I suspect he may well be a narcissist, but then I think that's probably true of a great many famous faces.

Moier · 12/10/2024 17:24

John Tarode and Gregg Wallace.
I love CMC... but those two eating ..is like 🤢 then they shout all the time.
I watch the cooking and just listen when they are eating.

Projectme · 12/10/2024 17:25

Donald Sunderland always gave me the creeps. Can't watch any film he's in <shudders> no idea why 🤷‍♀️

BotterMon · 12/10/2024 17:25

David Walliams; Keir Starmer as reminds me of a robot (total charisma bypass); Russell Brand; Jim Carey; BoJo; so many!

Nell1974 · 12/10/2024 17:26

Gyles Brandreth.

Sepoctnov · 12/10/2024 17:26

Came here to say David Walliams. Skin crawling creepiness. Eurrggh.

Absolutely dreading the day my DC's school suggests any of his books.

TheReturnOfFeathersMcGraw · 12/10/2024 17:28

Jason Manford <shudder>

Also Jim Carey, David Walliams...

Sarah2891 · 12/10/2024 17:35

David Walliams was the first one that I thought of too.

ByTealShaker · 12/10/2024 17:36

Aside from the ones with sexual assault allegations, Russell Brand, Neil Gaiman and probably more that we don’t yet know about, Paul Hollywood.

username3678 · 12/10/2024 17:37

Russell Brand. I saw him once and he spent the whole time scanning all the women in the audience.

Trump obvs. Kris Jenner and Kayne West.

BippityBopper · 12/10/2024 17:41

Mr Tumble/Justin's House actor and Prince Philip (long before he was nearing death).

QuickMember · 12/10/2024 17:42

Mogg seems authentic, out of touch but still not putting on a facade. Walliams, Walsh and other “celebs” seem fake. Those I find creepy include Kamala, George Clooney and Keir Starmer. Jim Carrey is nuts but seems like he just found a niche. Will Ferrell is 🤮

PeachyKeane · 12/10/2024 17:43

Phillip Schofield, David Walliams, David Jason.

Always blokes, women don't give me the same vibes.

Ohhhthedrama · 12/10/2024 17:44

Ryan Reynolds- creepy & fake. I bet he throws some proper tantrums if the plebs surrounding him don't laugh enough at his jokes.

Londontown12 · 12/10/2024 17:45

I used to hate Rolf Harris my hubbi couldn’t understand why !
Turns out I was correct I could never put my finger on why I didn’t like him he was so creepy !
