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?

Charlie Stayt - his eyes give me the creeps.

John Torode, Matt Hancock and Trump all make me feel sick.

I get it with "unnatural" faces. Like they feel alien and it does trigger me. Like I feel queasy and have to look away.

Katie Price, Elon Musk first comes to mind but there are many others as well.

I cringe when people say celebs

I feel this way about Dominic West. He's a really good actor, but the way he bares his teeth like a male gorilla when he smiles makes me leave the room. It feels so malevolent. Didn't help that he was so believable as Fred West.

Same with Walter Goggins. My flesh crawls. And Jack Nicholson.

Edited

Dominic West for me too!! He frightens me and it’s something about the big face.

Cilla Black and Nicole Kidman. Both demonic.

Soukmyfalafel · 14/08/2025 08:06

Yeah there are some that give me the creeps and ring alarm bells for me, but not sure I'm up for bitching about it unless I know it's justified.

I doubt they'd give a shit what we think anyway.

Sally Phillips

Joanna Lumley

Agree re Elon Musk - he doesn't look human.

Kier Starmer, his hair always looks greasy and stands up, like Brylcreem did to hair in the old days.
Matt Hancock

😂 the beauty of it is that we don’t give a shit that they don’t give a shit what we think 😂🤷‍♀️

I've had this in real life and with certain celebrities. Its usually with popular well liked people. I had this feeling instantly with a woman I used to work with. I couldn't work out why as on the surface she was really lovely and happy go lucky. She ended up being a completely toxic person who was bullying multiple members of the staff.

smugmugg · 14/08/2025 08:15

No one names me feel sick but Dominic West really creeps me out. As pp said looks malevolent. And then that affair & the whole cringy MP thing of making his wife come to the front door, 🤮

HerecomesMargo · 14/08/2025 08:17

Pamela Anderson. She looks so ill and I feel 🤢when I see her face.

Steve Buscemi and Jim Carrey give me shivers.

Me too!
With Jim Carrey it is the gurning.

And Donald Trump. Everything about him, his repulsive mouth like an anus, the weird orange colour, the hair, the voice. Yuk

Bluecrystal2 · 14/08/2025 08:18

Ricky Tomlinson because he always looks sweaty and dirty.

Wiseplumant · 14/08/2025 08:28

Jimmy Carr

Screamingabdabz · 14/08/2025 08:35

Marcus Wareing makes me want to punch him he’s so insufferable but I’m not sure that’s what you mean op! 😂

I don’t get your Danny Dyer thing though. When I look at him, everything feels ok in the world!

Mrsmunchofmunchington · 14/08/2025 08:37

I think many of the men mentioned here give women a vibe that all is not well.
We should listen to that gut instinct more.
Being “kind” gets women raped.

I think he looks like he would smell of warm wee.

Omg I get this smell association too! I always think Corbyn would smell like laundry that hadn’t quite dried properly and smells all damp and fusty.

Danny Dyer I imagine him smelling of over powering cheap aftershave.

Anyone remember Chris Pontius from Jackass? I always imagined he would smell like semen for some reason!!

Michael Sheen, Trump, Ed Sheeran, David Walliams, Noel Fielding, Jamie Oliver, Prince Harry and Stephen Fry are a few that come to mind.
They don’t make me feel ill, just reaching for the remote.

I get it with Russell Brand and Elon Musk

Yes Russel Brand for me too, forgot about him 🤮
