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?

Jimmy Carr. Repulsive. Both his shiny smug face and his fkin awful fake laugh 🤮

You're so right, I can't stand Jimmy Carr. Ive been to see loads of stand up shows (including Frankie Boyle) but his is the only one I've felt like walking out of. Endless digs about paedophiles and horrible misogynistic guff. Vile and repulsive.

@smugmuggI don’t find Rupert attractive either. Apparently the character was based on Andrew Parker Bowles, who even in his youth just looked like a chinless wonder hooray Henry to me. Apparently a real womaniser, I can only imagine he’s hung like one of his polo ponies…

Angelina Jolie + david Tennant.

He really is. I am sure he thinks he is a "thirst trap" or something but my god he is creepy.

Miley Cyrus. She’s all gums and teeth.

Elton John has this effect on me. I physically recoil when I see a picture of him and I’m not sure why.

Do you remember the Viz? He has always reminded me of the Viz character, Spoilt Bastard.

Going back to your OP, OP…

I agree about Jeremy C (politics aside). I remember watching the opening of Parliament just before The General Election where Labour got thrashed and oh boy, that awful, scowling, miserable face! He was totally refusing to engage with Boris Johnson, who was clearly being his usual clownish self and the contrast was painful.

If you’re a JC supporter you may think that’s OK, and I’m no Boris fan, but actually it wasn’t a good look. I’ve never seen a more off-putting, grim-faced old git in all my days. If you believe JC is actually a nice, regular guy, that did NOT come over at all.

No his character in Rivals isn't particularly good looking but he does have oodles of charisma & makes women feel special, so that's no doubt how he's got all those women falling at his feet

The line is 'I had to watch them try to get you undressed'

The point is the narrator is in love with Deborah, but because he's not one of the cool, 'grown-up' boys he's excluded ('We were friends, that was as far as it went/I used to walk you home sometimes, but it meant/Oh, it meant nothing to you/'Cause you were so popular').

It's a sad, sweet song about a teenage boy who's on the outside.

Thanks for this. I've never understood it.

Barry Keoghan. Something repulsive about him. I had to walk out of The Banshee of Inisherin at the cinema because I felt nauseous looking at him. Can’t really explain it but 🤮

Yes couldn’t agree with this more. Never even want to view salt burn either. He’s creepy.

How people find that ‘hot priest’ bloke off Fleabag handsome is beyond me I find his face vom. 🥴

Kirsty Allsopps smug assholery makes me want to boot the telly through the wall.

Pedro Pascal - used to be pretty ambivalent about him then saw him pawing over his female co-stars to manage his “anxiety” and his face now makes me feel 🤢

Noooooooo! Any proof? I live Pedro!

Oh God, this. Yes. He is scarily repulsive.

You know he would accept no opinion but his own.

There's tons of proof. Just google him at events with Vanessa Kirby or Sarah Paulson. That's off the top of my head.

Rylan - pretty sure he's not actually human.

Danny dyer, I always found him course and creepy, and one night he mentioned his daughter being on Love Island and "wanking" watching the programme. Turned my stomach!

🤑😱🤑 that is utterly revolting. How vile. Fancy being his daughter ? Ugh

But they all seem to be handsy with each other?

Look at the longer vids, not just these clips. Check the women's body language and facial expressions.
Yes, they often reciprocate, but you get the strong impression that they're doing so to placate him and to keep up appearances; they're under contract and promoting their work/themselves, after all.

Matt Lucas, Eddie (L)Izzard, Sam Smith and agree with many of the others already listed.

Brigette Macron is like something out of a nightmare. Like a cartoon caricature of evil.
