Which celebrities/public figures give you the creeps?

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.

Noel Fielding - hideous.

Alexander Armstrong - how can everyone not see this?

Philip Schofield - just no.

I’ve seen a couple of mentions of Noel fielding and I’m wondering if this is because people only know him from bake-off? I don’t watch the show but always thought he was an odd choice for such a mainstream show.
He’s a surrealist comedian and artist, not exactly the right fit for a village fete vibe tv show. I wonder if you’d find him less creepy if you knew him for what he is actually good at and is more his comfort zone. Mighty Boosh was fantastically weird and funny, so creative and absurd, he played some odd characters but it made him more endearing.

I saw Jacob Reese Mog described as a "haunted Victorian pencil", and that seemed accurate.

There are some celebs I find "creepy".... main ones for me are Stephen Fry and Chris Packham. But then I have never actually met them, so I can't say they are creepy for sure.

I can't watch Tom Cruise. Something feels very off about his devotion to Scientology.

Nicholas Cage... He just seems slimy and greasy and just 🤢

I came here to say Nicholas Cage, he just looks like a wrong’un.

@Dontlletmedownbruce and anyone else confused about why David Walliams is appearing so often - he has an overarching sense of self-importance, appears to ‘play’ at being camp/gay which in itself is quite grotesque/insulting, he’s insincere and smarmy. He comes across as really needy but also quite intimidating due to his height/stature. Perhaps he’s a lovely bloke but he gives the impression that you wouldn’t want to meet him in a dark ally.

Two people have said Brian Cox and I have to ask, which Brian Cox? Are you even both talking about the same man? I need to know!

Mansionscoldandgrey · 12/10/2024 23:21

Hamble from Play School.

Brian Blessed - all that shouting plus the hairy face.

CabraCadabra · 12/10/2024 23:26

Isn't it weird how the same names crop up over and over. We must definitely have a sixth sense that picks up on bad vibes?

I can agree with many already posted. I dislike John craven who used to present countryfile. I used to hate that Fred bloke who did the weather on this morning too....

Leonardo Dicaprio (dirty old man)
Vince Vaughn (get the ick about him; seems very sexist)
Actor from Mr Tumble (something odd; wouldn’t leave my children alone with him just in case)

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.

Same with the books. He gives me the heebie jeebies.

Ricky Gervais.

DEFINITELY him! I'm not a fan of his ex-wife either, but God knows what she ever saw in him!

TeaCupSallie · 12/10/2024 23:47

Huw Edwards amd that was before all the sleaze. It was his contemptuous curled up lip that put me off.
