Tom Hanks.
Great actor but his reaction to Ricky Gervais monologue at the Golden Globes put me off him.

What was the reaction ?

BauhausOfEliott · 05/08/2026 21:21

Cristiano Ronaldo
Novak Djokovic
Madonna
Jeremy Irons
Darcy Bussell

If we extend it to dead people, then also Robin Williams, Amy Winehouse, Diego Maradona and John Lennon.

I was really shocked there for a moment, then I realised I was confusing him with Bradley Walsh 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Anna Maxwell Martin 😭 one of my absolute favourites to watch on telly but I hear from various friends in the bizz that she’s a cow to work with.

I’d totally have Sheen to dinner over Tennant

oh no. I heard her on Desert Island Discs and thought that I’d get on with her really well

Oh God she completely ruined Me Before You

I’m really happy about this I thought I was the only person in the country that doesn’t like her. I’m glad I had the courage to speak up 😂

Didn't her husband die relatively recently? Might explain her reported grumpiness.

I wouldn't like Tony Robinson. Sad because I love his programmes.

Keith Allen seems scary.
Lily is probably a chip off the old block!

I saw him at a festival. He was wearing white clothes in a very mystical guru sort of way.

Tilda Swinton
Ruth Wilson
Samantha Morton

The funny thing is all of these share a “look”; just something about the construction of their faces, particularly around the mouth…do they look like someone you’re not fond of IRL, I wonder?

I love everybody’s responses but yours fascinated me!

as for me…I think Michael McIntyre is creepy as fuck. Poor chap.

Why do ppl say this ? They are always saying this on here. He seems lovely to me.

He’s a vocal supporter of trans rights, so a large proportion of Mumsnetters hate him on that basis.

Personally I think he’s great.

What did she say? Those 2 go back a very long way

Actually I've just looked it up on YouTube. It was just 2 old friends having a laugh. He took it very well I thought & I don't think she was rude

TheGreatDownandOut · 05/08/2026 21:00

You are of course correct. But I wanted to take this opportunity to finally get some shit off my chest about Emilia Clarke.

I've been dying to talk about it!

She'd be good in a game of thrones remake of the last couple of seasons!

I think Samantha Morton seems lovely irl

Will Self was funny. Years ago he was remarking on a ( I think ) Derek Jarman film. He said something like it had Tilda Swinton ' emoting in a corner'. I think he was implying it was all very pretentious.

A few years ago. She’s with someone wise now.

My mum always used to say it about Jane Seymour!

AllTheChicken · 05/08/2026 21:37

I used to really like David Tennant, but he's become really snakey in the last 5-10 years. His smile is too wide and doesnt seem to reach his eyes, and it all just feels a bit fake now unfortunately.

Emelia Clarke I am.annoyed with because she was executive producer of Ponies and it was brilliant, apart from all the gratuitous female nudity, and I feel that she should have fought for there to not be so much, thrn remembered she got it all out in GOT. Very old fashioned of me I know but where is the woman power ffs.

Anyone slimey, which is many famous men tbh

Zendaya, not because I dont think she seems nice, but something feels too nice about her

What was the reaction ?

Gervais was mocking the celebrity audience for their hypocrisy on issues like lecturing on the environment while using private jets and acting as authorities on political issues they had no real expertise on.
It was Gervais last time presenting the Golden Globes and he didn't hold back. But the face on Hanks, to me, showed a different side of him.
If you haven't seen the monologue it's well worth a watch.

Can’t believe Hannah Waddingham hasn’t come up yet.

Tom Hanks is known for being very upright and earnest though, isnt he.
