Who are the least talented actors who are successful?

[WokeKarenHereAskMeAboutStuff]

In your opinion.

I’ll start.

The Rock
Gal Gadot
Mark Whalberg
Channing Tatum

I honestly think 90% of actors could be replaced and no one would know the difference. The vast, vast majority have no actual talent. They were just lucky, or good-looking, or were in the right place at the right time. One or two really are exceptional. Marlon Brando, John Gielgeud, Rik Mayal, Rowan Atkinson, etc really did have talent. If you watch Steve Martin in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, for example, there's no doubt you're watching someone with a gift. But when it comes to the vast majority of soap stars and Hollywood actors, I see no talent at all.

Emma Thompson would be top of my list. Utterly awful in everything.

Jude Law.

Keira Knightly. I had a boss like her once. The word to describe them is 'flounce'.

However, she did flounce with excellence in The Duchess. A role she was made for.

haven't you seen Forest Gump and the streets of Philedelphia (aids related film)

He was amazing.

I looove channing Tatum. Won’t hear a bad word 😂

I think Bonnie wright (ginny in Harry Potter) is dreadful and I can’t understand how they chose her when they must have had soooo many kids to choose from

Some of the best British actresses started of in soaps, especially Corrie, Sarah Lancashire, Suranne Jones, Angela Griffiths, Katherine Kelly, oddly it's been the women who have gone on to great things, I can't think of a male actor who's made the transition.

Jason statham should go back to working on a Market stall I the east end. Don’t care how handsome he is, he can’t act,

I can't stand Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey or Matthew McConaughey.or Benedict Cumberbatch. Sorry to criticize his looks but with his lack of nose bridge he looks like a snake.

Keira's awful.

Love Keanu though. He's not much of an actor but he's so buff and seems like a nice guy.

Really?

I thought he was known as one of the few 'nice guys' in Hollywood?

Judi Dench. She is just Judi Dench in everything.

I was going to say the same thing.

This was true of John Gielgud, too.

Sheriff of Nottingham? Colonel Brandon?

Maybe he is but he was amazing in those 2 roles.

Tom Hanks is amazing in Big he played an adult playing a kid, he was really good.

Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, he was wonderful as the Sheriff of Nottingham, even though he wanted to cancel Christmas!

He’s not a cunt in real life, it’s a well known fact he’s one of the nicest ones, not that there aren’t plenty of cunty Actors.

He was great in After Life. Very moving.

I met Keanu, he’s lovely.

Bring back Dougie and make 2025 great again.

Last seen looking almost unrecognisable and doing online bingo adverts.

maybe but that ain’t what a cunt is.

I do really like Channing Tatum - he's great in comedy roles like Jump Street, and bought surprising depth to Magic Mike and Fly me to the Moon. Also a really talented dancer - the 'Pony' scene in Magic Mike was not easy to pull off without looking corny for a bloke.

Gal Gadot has no acting talent but she is very easy to cast as the glamorous action hero, so I understand her success as that's a difficult niche to fill.

I see the Rock in the same way as Arnie, Van Damme, Jackie Chan etc etc - they're cast for their action choreography, not acting.

I’m always amazed how Tom hanks manages to hide his personal life so well!!

i do think a lot of these actors do a good job in the roles they are given and the award ceremonies tend to pick the good ones out - although there was the period where Weinstein was heavily influencing

Judi Dench.

Standing bolt upright and saying your lines in a posh monotone isn’t acting.

Her facial expressions don’t change. Does she even have eyebrows? They never move? Can she smile? Her mouth doesn’t change position.

She basically one of those Christmas nutcrackers without the hat.
