Who are the least talented actors who are successful?

[WokeKarenHereAskMeAboutStuff]

In your opinion.

I’ll start.

The Rock
Gal Gadot
Mark Whalberg
Channing Tatum

Keira Knightley

Emma Watson

Daniel Radcliffe

Nicole Kidman

James Corden

Not for well over a decade, it’s a gender neutral term now keep up!

another vote for Emma Watson, just dreadful.
Channing Tatum was good in Blink Twice, his wife directed him so maybe that helped.

agree Hugh Grants renaissance as a villain is perfect for him and he’s clearly loving it.

I like Daniel Radcliffe but I've seen him in several theatre productions and in every one his co stars outshone him.
The best I've seen live is Ben wishart, amazingly talented.

That was when I began to think he was really talented and I loved him so much in Paddington 2 .

I disagree, I think he did in his early years but has developed over time. Some interesting roles: Alfie was very different to Get Carter, and Harry Brown is outstanding, though my personal favourite is The Man who would be King. Same accent in all of them but he wasn't playing someone from a different region in any of them.

I was just coming to say Nicola Walker!
She's very mumbly and has a weird stop start rhythm to how she speaks.

Why are British child actors so much worse than American ones. American child actors are bloody amazing a lot of the time.

Keira Knightly; Lesley Manville

Idris Elba
Keira once a tree Knightley
Dawn French
Suranne Jones
Tilda Swinton
Cate Blanchette

Ben Whishaw. Utterly plastic he should be laminated

A lot of the privately educated English lot who somehow land up in Hollywood films. A testament to the ' It's not what you know but who you know' advantage to private schools.

Idris Elba??? Tilda Swinton ?? I am surprised! The rest of your list: agree!

Snap!

Emma Watson needs to learn how to breathe correctly and speak without gabbling. Daniel Radcliffe is just a lazy actor when I’ve seen him live, but possibly those were his drinking days.

Idris really is unidimensional. Pretty boy vapid
Tilda by Christ she’s so hammmy

Daughter of Phil Collins. Now married to Charlie MacDowell who is the son of Malcolm MacDowell who was Alex in The Clockwork Orange.

Lily Collins is from the speak your weight school of acting

I think people are bad at telling the difference between not liking someone and them being bad at acting a role.

There's also miscasting and there's roles that are simply shit where it's not really the actors fault.

A few exceptions but I disagree with most people's suggestions in this thread. Being one character is why they get cast for the role. It doesn't mean it's the extent of their range. Dwayne Johnson plays movies as the character he's acted his entire career before film acting. He's eminently watchable but it helps if you like the kind of stupid shit he's cast in. Hugh Grant is varied and capable, in gentlemen he was absolutely revolting and played it perfectly, couldn't have been much less Hugh Grant.

Tom Cruise!? Whoever said that is crazy

Keanu and Keira are not great actors but I really like them. Keira is so cute.
Emma Watson- can't stand her. Awful acting and a PITA hors scène.

I would have agreed with you regarding the last two, until....

Paddington 2
(surely a contender for best film ever made?)

and...

Renfield.
Even DH, who hates Nicholas Cage, had to admit that was pretty darn brilliant.

Cameron Diaz. Cameron Dire more like.

Agreed!

It's almost as if this is all based on personal opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a 6’3” hunk he’s not really been dealt a bad hand in life!

Oh forgot: Lily Rose Depp, another nepo baby who can't act.

Michael Caine - a revelation in The Quiet American. we also watched ‘the making of’ dvd with it, describing his acting philosophy and the historical background to the film

High Grant, also a revelation! in Florence Foster Jenkins - when he assures Florence (Meryl Streep) ‘we ARE a family’ how can an actors voice be filled with such kindness
