To feel a bit sick when looking at certain celebs?

I have a weird thing where certain people make me feel physically sick/Uneasy. It’s mainly celebrities or people in the public eye.

One example is Jeremy Corbyn. Nothing to do with his politics - it’s something about him.

My latest one is Danny Dyer - especially with a moustache.

Anyone else get this?

Leonardo DiCaprio's features look too small IMO. Like someone has drawn a face with a goatee onto an egg.

Agree. He was so beautiful in Romeo + Juliet, but it's all been downhill from then on.

Seann William Scott 😩😩 I cannot watch anything he’s in.

Also, Daniel Mays has the same effect, but I do force myself because he’s such a good actor!

I also feel bad about both because I think I’m being super unreasonable 😂

I can't stand seeing Michael Macintyre -not because his humor is dull but because when he smiles he looks like a weasley creep that was my first boyfriend. Who was older, a proper perv and stalked me for a year after we split up. Urghhh just the memory of that creepy fuck makes my skin crawl.

Walton Goggins, Rainn Wilson and Bill Hader all give me the shudders and I’ve absolutely no idea why.

I find Michael Gove’s mouth very repellent. Shaped like a frog or toad’s and looks wet and slobbery

I agree! I know a genuinely lovely man who has those same flubbery looking lips and in spite of the rest of his face being perfectly nice there’s something about it that gives me the squicks and I feel terrible about it!

I've only ever had this with Howard from the big bang theory.

‘Certain types of celebs who are very overly made up and just look dirty as a result make me feel yucky. Far too much bronzer and contouring and foundation. I always imagine they smell of clothes that need washing and very strong perfume. They'd sit on your new cream sofa and leave skiddy make up marks all over it.’

I got this with everyone on Love Island in the ten minutes of it I’ve watched.

I cannot stand looking at Will Smith. Used to like him but since the slapping I think he's a thug, nothing more

Eddie Redmayne except in the Jackal where my brain told me he was playing true to himself 🧐 ie he gives me the ick because he seems nice but my subconscious thinks he's a psychopath 😅
Also Kevin Spacey even before the allegations.

There is something very strange about Eddie redmayne's mouth, I don't think he moves his lips very much.

and Rory thingy, ex politician.

Not the right Rory I know, but Rory McGrath makes me feel peculiar.

It’s strange how we get these reactions to what the majority of people would consider to be exceptionally handsome / beautiful people and yet I find that the more interesting faces are more attractive like Ed Harris when he was younger, he’s got such a ‘good’ face.

Zac Efron looks scary now too with that Thunderbirds Puppet chin he has had made

It is terrible what Zac Efron has done to his face, so sad. I wonder how he feels about the results and the public reaction.

😂God I feel this way about my own face (minus the goatee (sometimes)).

Will Smith, his wife and the two children he has with her are all very strange, I cannot think of a whole family group who are more unlikeable and unrelatable. His wife particularly reminds me of a shark.

Yes Russell brand, annoying hairyness, voice and expressions.

For recent reasons, I cannot stand looking at Russell Brand. Lock the bastard up

Sweetpea333 · 14/08/2025 14:06

Beyoncé. Her little teeth make me feel sick.

They are really like infant teeth! Still preferable to big toothy-veneers in a permanent rictus grin like meghan markle though.

MyLimeGuide · 14/08/2025 19:27

😂

LlynTegid · 14/08/2025 19:28

I don't have the feeling the OP describes, however there are some people where I think the world would be better if they were never on our screens again. Nick Knowles is definitely one high up on the list.

AWitchCalledMeg · 14/08/2025 19:29

Anotherbeeloudglade · 14/08/2025 12:36

Jason Isaacs, just a very very creepy man.

Only know him from the Harry Potter films, I cannot imagine a better lucius malfoy.. he was excellent.

Robogob · 14/08/2025 19:31

Marcus Wareing, Justin Trudeau. Both scare and repel me. They look like sociopaths.

Yes it feels like the spidey senses/gut feeling were working properly when the truth came out

Simon Cowell, he looks dead behind the eyes

Well I want to like Jada, and I feel she desperately wants to come across as a wholesome, normal stand by your man type woman, but at the end of the day, she's an actress and I feel she's covering up an awful lot to protect their image. I don't buy it

That video he made overly protesting his innocence made me want to spew. His eyes were like a madman's. I believe all the allegations 100%
