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.

Meghan Markle. When you see the fake smile and the forced touchy feely demeanor, and you know how she treats people around her, you feel sorry for the ones she is pretending to be nice to. Quite unsettling watching someone who is always at the centre of toxicity and uses people as disposable things.That’s a narcissist right there.

And loves herself. In the million pound drop, its all about her.

Holly Willoughby also seems that way. Totally fake.

Jack Nicholson, his voice, his look, everything

There's people that give me the proper creeps:
David Walliams, Stephen fry, Leo decaprio, Elton John, Cliff Richard, Jim Carey, Simon Cowell, ant middleton, Jay Z. Lots already mentioned. Also Noel fielding I really like but he makes me feel a bit iffy

People that are known to be unpleasant men: Johnny Depp, Russel brand, Peter Andre, Philip Schofield

And people I think would be vile if you gave the impression you didn't like them: David Tennant, James Corden, Ellen DeGeneres, Taylor Swift Lots and lots in this category tbh

But I reckon most people who end up properly famous are not that nice.

Yes to ‘properly famous = not that nice’.

I don’t like Neil Gaiman as a writer because I find his books lacking in humanity- there’s nothing warm or generous or kind in them. Plus the Covid abandonment of wife and child and breaking of all quarantine rules. I always thought Amanda Palmer was just a blatantly exploitative grifter. And it just doesn’t surprise me that there are the kind of accusations against the pair of them that there are.

But until the accusations came out, I felt it was sort of something lacking in me that meant I didn’t ‘get’ them. Now I think I need to listen to my own self more!!

Keaneau Reeves. I know how much he has done, but seems creepy to me.
Ryan Gosling too.
Charlie Sheen

Bono

David Attenborough

Prince William

Tom Hanks

Hillary Clinton

Trump is very camp and not in a funny way. Because David Lynch just died I was looking at scenes from his surreal horror film Blue Velvet and I think Trump could easily have slotted into the cast of grotesque villains.

I do find threads like this really unsettling. Especially when people appear to post the most unlikely names just to appear the most intuitive person in the thread. So everyone else says "Really? I'd never have thought it of him."

Sausagenbacon · 19/01/2025 13:02

I totally agree. Posting negative shit about people you have never met. The Internet at its worst.

Rubytuesday77 · 19/01/2025 13:18

Tom Hanks, Cliff Richard, David Jason, to name a few.

I don’t agree. There’s a host of creepy celebs about, no need to make one up.

LettuceSpray · 19/01/2025 13:34

@Lilifer @Rubytuesday77

What exactly is it about Tom Hanks you don’t like?

CurlewKate · 19/01/2025 18:00

@Rubytuesday77 "I don’t agree. There’s a host of creepy celebs about, no need to make one up"

Except people are being named on here who, as far as I know have never shown the remotest sign of being creepy. Posters just "have a feeling."

Alan Partridge is mostly based in him.

I never knew that but now i do i can see it.

Richard Madley (spelling?) - so shocked not to see his name! He gives me the Shivers

Completely agree. Absolute slimeball.

Jared Kushner. Uncanny valley.

Also, John Terry. Ick.

Machachacha · 19/01/2025 18:15

So many and the list growing every day.

The whole P Diddy thing is so shocking.
I think Oprah Winfrey is going to be a real shocker when all is revealed.

Her treatment of Monique is the real her.
She often quotes Maya Angelou's "when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time"....I believe her.

Hollywood is so beyond toxic and so many in Britain are not far behind.

Pumpkinpie1 · 19/01/2025 18:18

Elon musk and Donald Trump

Holly Willoughby is actually lovely. She is close friends with a member of my family.

James Nesbitt, totally false and is bad tempered.
