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.

Not at all, these threads are nasty and potentially damaging

I agree.

Noel Fielding, Bill Bailey and Eddie Izzard.

Joloman74 · 14/10/2024 01:10

Tom cruise. I don't know what it is but he makes me uneasy

TheCryingTheBitchAndTheFloordrobe · 14/10/2024 01:19

I feel like lots of them must be irritating prats but that visceral creep feeling is much more unusual ime.

A couple that i hate even looking at are JD Vance (Trump's running mate) who every bit of my gut says is a wrong 'un, David Walliams (interesting that this seems almost universal!) and, bizarrely, Prince William

This was who I had in mind when I saw the past. Can't explain why but I avoid letting my son watch jt!

The ‘before he was Blippi’ video of him sh*tting on his friend certainly doesn’t help.

Catsmere · 14/10/2024 03:06

The Wachowski brothers. Starmer. Trump. Russell Brand. Don't even need to see more than still photos of them.

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.

Edited

Apparently, he was married for quite a while. I'm not sure if he's gay at all. I suspect not, if he was married. His house in Donegal is like a pilgrimage site for old ladies who love Irish balladeeers! Downright weird!

Tom Hanks
John Travolta
Katy Perry
Michael Buble
Emma Roberts

The Speakmans

EatingHealthy · 14/10/2024 04:32

I really don't understand how David Walliams has a career, he's always one of the first and most repeated on these kinds of threads.

Also agree with Tom Hanks and Alexander Armstrong.
Dan Walker makes my skin crawl.

For a bit of gender balance:
Blake Lively

So many married men are closeted.

Tom Cruise gives me the heebies. He always has done. Even before the ridiculous Oprah interview.

anwensmummy · 14/10/2024 06:07

Me too re Justin Timberlake! No idea if it’s true but years ago a friend of a friend who moved in celeb circles supposedly slept with him. Even she got the ick because just as they started doing it he whispered “JT is in you”. Every time I see him on TV now I remember that and totally cringe!

Shhhthedogssleeping · 14/10/2024 06:39

Does anyone know the YouTube channel, Special Books For Special Kids? It is run by an special education teacher and his goal is admirable - to give both kids, adults and their families, a voice to speak to the world, in whatever way they are able and to promote equality and the awareness that we are all alike and worthy. But the guy who interviews the people who contact him seems like he’s putting on an act and is using his interviewees to earn a very lucrative living. I am probably very wrong, and he is hopefully a genuine and caring person. I hope so anyhow, but I find him creepy (not in a corrupt, twisted way) , but as in an exploitative way. I feel bad for feeling this way about him.

Jonathan Ross. Ughhh!

Same with Billy Connolly. Extremely creepy woman hater.

What has he done that’s women hating? I haven’t heard of this.

Noo I love Jason Manford. Burst my bubble why does he give you the ick?

I remember him from the beginning when he used to run his own facebook page, and I soon realised what a misogynistic arse he is. Also just generally smarmy

Sending sex messages to multiple females while his wife was pregnant.

Ed Sheeran is a lovely guy though, no one has a bad word to say about him. Do you think your reaction might be because of his eyes? I think he has a bit of a lazy eye, I think they’re quite far apart too and that you find this creepy?

Edited

It’s this weird, sinister smile he does. My partner has a piano book of his music and sometimes I walk into the living room and there is Ed Sheerans face giving me this creepy head-down smirk. Freaks me right out. It’s also just something about the way he moves his fingers. I get this almost uncanny valley reaction to him, like my brain is reading him as not-quite-human.

It was a long time ago though. I like him
