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.

*Owen Wilson makes me cringe! He just does - in every film he's ever made and in those stupid sofa adverts!

If I met him I would want to punch him - and looking at his nose, people clearly have already*

😂

Daniel O'Donnell. Off the creepy Richter Scale!

Oh god! Loads of his fans are dying and lots of DOD crap in the charity shops. DOD salt and pepper shakers anyone?

Lol.

I think he's just as gay as Christmas, but so deep in the closet that it comes across as creepy.

I mean, if he was "allowed" (allowed himself) to be out as a camp, gentle gay man who sings ballads ... Would you find him as creepy (?)

I think it's the denial and fakery that makes people like him creepy.

Another vote for Walliams. He makes my skin crawl. There is something very sinister about him.

Cliff “Kitty” Richard always creeped me out. First became aware of him with “Livin Doll” with the Young Ones. Creepy as fuck song lyrics.

Alan Davies aka Johnathan Creek, QI. There is something about him I really feel fearful of, and everyone I have told do not have the same response.

Alan Davies has been through a lot - losing his mother very young, sexually abused by his father from the age of eight.

I love Noel Fielding too and by all accounts he's absolutely lovely. He's definitely quirky, but I don't get anything sinister from him at all. He really makes me laugh on Bake Off too and seems great with the contestants.

I don't watch bake off, so it's good to hear he's nice on there. I did go see the mighty boosh live years ago and that was awesome.

Will add Richard Madeley, Giles Coren, Bear Grylls, James Nesbitt, Graham Norton

Jimmy Nesbit is a lovely man

Does anyone find something a bit odd about Fergie?

Also, Holly Willoughby, thought she was fantastic, met her and she was very scary, definitely find her creepy now

Sticking up for his trans child I think.

As somebody that constantly has to stick up for my trans child, especially on here, this is the reason that jumps out at me a mile off too.

So very sad.

I don't like him because he is a dedicated misogynist. I'm glad he proved 12 uear old me right that he was a wrong one. Perhaps my younger self picked up the paedo vibes from the BBC trying to sell Tennant to me following on from Eccleston. All for ratings I' sure but Tennant was intended as a magnet for a younger audience and that will never sit right with me.

Nothing to do with his wife's child from a previous marriage claiming to be trans.

Richard Osman. Love his House of Games quiz show but there's just a weird creepy undercurrent vibe...

Same! I listen to his Rest is Entertainment podcast with Marina Hyde and love the content but he really gives me the creeps

Noel Fielding - hideous.

Alexander Armstrong - how can everyone not see this?

Philip Schofield - just no.

I do like AA but his very serious impersonation of Susan Boyle is something I would like erased from my memory

Rafa Nadal

He looks so creepy and dirty

Yes, this and a really thin weird mouth, gives me the shivers! Also Trump, Mick Jagger, Harry Styles (such a mish-mash mess of a person)
Ian McShane (can’t bear the sight of him) Think there’s probably loads if I really think.

Goatblu · 13/10/2024 13:00

I mentioned David Jason. I've never heard, read or searched anything on him. He just gives me the creeps - which is what the original question was about. Just a feeling that when he pops his clogs, there might be stuff that comes out about him.

Marchitectmummy · 13/10/2024 06:21

Sadiq Khan

Something so seedy about him, I've met him in person, he made me feel itchy.

He’s always reminded me of Phillip Schofield.

Loads of his fans are dying??? Do you mean of old age?? Or because of some other reason?😳

CurlewKate · 13/10/2024 13:07

Isn't there something a little...unhinged...about a whole thread accusing innocent people of being "creepy"? Particularly the "I seem to be the only one who thinks this" posts. Imagine the triumph if something did come out. "I knew it! I told you so! See? I was right!"

Deeply distasteful. Rumours spread very easily.

I don't know why that would be a reason to find someone creepy. Can anyone enlighten me? I like DT personally

Jeff Goldblum. Really creepy.

And I wouldn't be surprised if they discovered Judy Finnigan was a cruel mother. She doesn't seem to have any warmth or empathy.

What are you basing that on, out of curiosity? I know these things are subjective but I've never got that sort of vibe from her at all.

Hopper123 · 13/10/2024 13:10

Tom Cruise I can't watch him or enjoybany folms hes in. I can't for the life of me see why so many women find him attractive he just creeps me out and seems so disingenuous.

He calls women whingey fuckers because we don't want deluded men in our single sex spaces.

He is a cunt.

glittereyelash · 13/10/2024 13:19

Theres a few. David walliams, gene Simmons, Nicholas cage, channing tatum, ronan keating, Tom cruise, James cordon, armie hammer, ezra miller, Jerry seinfeld. Just get negative vibes from all of them.
