Which celebrities/public figures give you the creeps?

[Hellskitchen24]

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.

Yeah I get the feeling he's up his own arse. He looks like an overgrown schoolboy

Dominic West

I agree with loads of the responses here and it's made me curious about the themes / patterns behind the people a lot of us find icky.

A dislike of fakeness seems to be a major one. Since most public figures have to be fake to a considerable extent (either because they're literally acting or because they have to maintain a certain front regardless), it's interesting to me that there are certain traits that feel more inauthentic than others.

A lot of us seem to dislike what I think of as the 'smooth daddy' type - men in authoritative / judging / presenting positions intended to be looked up to and respected - for me this makes it all the more creepy whenever there is a hint of flirtatiousness or 'inappropriateness' from these men (which I guess is unfair in a way as they're still people with human desires and I wonder if I'm expecting something impossible from them... but then they are the ones trying to present themselves as above all that sort of thing!).

@Sux2buthen "Not at all, these threads are nasty and potentially damaging"

Just you and me, then!

I get this! I’ve watched a few clips and thought he was quite funny, until I actually watched a full
show of his and I just couldn’t!!

Jay Z
Beyonce
Kevin Hart
David Jason
Jamie Foxx

And me.

Holly Willoughby and Meghan Markle both have dead eyes, something soulless about them.

@KimberleyClark @Sux2buthen we should start a very small club....🤣

Prince Andrew and Fergie both seem creepy individually but them as a couple makes me feel physically sick. Very dark pair.

Alison Hammond
Cherie Blair
Kier Starmer
David Attenborough

Daniel?
He’s been happily married for over 20 years. He’s done interviews, tv episodes, a travel show with his wife. They seem very close and he comes across as very warm and with a great sense of humour.

Agree about David Walliams. He's creepy AF, to the point where if he hit the news headlines for being a Huw Edwards type I really don't think I'd be surprised.

I also have an actual phobia of Nicolas Cage, and Dominic West comes across as a super sleaze and makes my skin crawl.

I can't watch anything with these people in if for fear of nightmares.

She seems dead behind the eyes/something very off.

Charlie Sheen is a paedophile and sexual predator of young boys, so he is revolting rather than creepy.

Kevin Spacey was always incredibly creepy, way before any allegations against him. The allegations against him are weak so they don't add much.

Bridget Macron is terrifying looking. Everytime I see her PDA with her husband I get this visceral reaction of horror. He looks like her son but I don't have a problem with age gaps so it can't be that. There's something not right there.

James Cordon strikes me as someone who could be nasty.

Tom Hanks, theres something untrustworthy about him.

Jada Pinkett Smith has cold, dead eyes. Her children both seem creepy as well.

Rabbi Schmuley. He reminds me of someone who would take a gun and go on a killing spree.

Matt Lucas is scary, his eyes are so manic and his grin is crazed.

Benedict Cumberbatch is very attractive but also a tad creepy.

That horrendous JoJo something creature who used to wear the big bows. Shes terrifying! Like a cabbage patch doll or ventriloquist dummy come to life. She makes me think of a goosebumps story.

Joe Biden - has anyone seen that montage of loads of clips of him sniffing children?! And his estranged daughter said he used to make her shower with him as a teenager. I wouldn't be suprised if he sexually abused his kids.

Gerry McCann.

Katie Price and Peter Andre. Horrendous. Funnily enough, their children don't creep me out which is surprising seeing as they got the double creep DNA.

Beyonce. No idea why. Her smile perhaps.

He's ruined his face with surgery. I think he has the same terrible surgeon as Zac Efron.

Uggghhh vile. I just had to Google as I thought you were talking figuratively.

Always knew Blippi was a wrongun and used to make my skin crawl when I heard his disgusting voice and saw his creepy face. Refused to let DS watch it.

Eddie Izzard, Mark Zuckerberg and Olivia Coleman.

Oh and Bill Gates is horrifically creepy, like the most cliche evil madman I could think of.

It was, but he was still a married man messaging multiple women for sexual gratification, hence a lot of people don’t like him.

Oprah Winfrey is terrifying. There's something about her lack of facial expressions that is incredibly disconcerting. The way she watches her guests as they talk to her makes me feel ill.

The people mentioning Noel F and Bill Bailey 😮 I like them both and think Bill especially is very funny and so musically talented.

Agree with pp who mentioned Taylor Swift, Cliff Richard, Katy Perry and George Clooney.

I would also add Ashton Kutcher, Steve Martin and Usher.

Kylie Jenner. Her face is unnerving, pure AI vibes.

Yes I am aware but I hate his voice and how he speaks to people

Agreed @Demonhunter I particularly love Bill Bailey to absolute bits. Just seeing his face on screen makes me smile. Clever, funny and so very musical.

There are a few people on this thread who I really like. Just goes to show how subjective this all is.
