I like David Tennant. I’d love to see him on stage. He’s very good at creepy and cruel but he is an actor, dahlings. Got a very soft spot for Casanova, that’s from a good while ago.

I saw his Macbeth at the cinema it was amazing he is a great actor.

Hugh Grant (but he was excellent when he played Jeremy Thorpe)
Joanna Froggat (but she’s TV mainly)

CalzoneOnLegs · 18/09/2025 12:59

Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson

He is a terrible actor .his face unsettles me.

CalzoneOnLegs · 18/09/2025 13:23

@KimberleyClark same here, have you seen him in Unforgotten? His performance was stunning when he made his confession and described his abuse as a child. It’s quite rare that an actor can do both drama and comedy so well.

CalzoneOnLegs · 18/09/2025 13:26

@Coffeeishot I know! it’s horrible isnt it ? it’s his eyes. There is a really old poster of him in that vampire film where I work and if I have to pass it I want to rip it down🤬

CalzoneOnLegs · 18/09/2025 13:27

@MinnieCauldwell he was awful in White House Farm

I don't know his opinions on cake and even if I did I doubt I would care. But calling Brooke Shields irresponsible for taking antidepressants to cope with severe postpartum depression was disgusting. That's just one example.

Blimey I didn't know that. What a cock.

CalzoneOnLegs · 18/09/2025 13:29

@Coffeeishot i watched recently “The Escape Artist’ he was excellent in it.

TheFatCatSatOnTheMat · 18/09/2025 13:31

Martin Freeman. How has he got so far??

Bladderpool · 18/09/2025 13:33

Gerard Butler, he clearly hoovers up all the scripts James McAvoy bins off. He always looks like he’s wearing someone else’s teeth.

Olivia Coleman
Benedict Cumberbatch
Tom Hanks
George Clooney

CalzoneOnLegs · 18/09/2025 13:48

@Coffeeishot he has a look of the ‘Preppy Killer’ to me

I used to love Sandra Bullock but her face is too odd now, she can hardly move it, it's like a mask. Ditto Nicole Kidman. Pedro Pascal is massively over exposed for sure and way over hyped, he's ok at best.

mylovedoesitgood · 16/08/2025 06:14

Olivia Colman for me too, she’s pretty limited as an actor and I don’t buy for one minute the “I’m so very humble” baloney.

Suranne Jones, also limited.

Reese Witherspoon used to pick interesting roles but since she pivoted to doing more TV roles, I get bored of her essentially playing the same character.

Suranne Jones, also limited.
Beg to differ. Her performance in Gentleman Jack is a tour de force.

I'm going to get shot down here, because I know he's very popular and he seems like a lovely person, but Keanu Reeves is very wooden. There was one film it actually worked in.

I agree! He's lovely, but can't act for toffee.

FunnyDoginLahLahLand · 23/09/2025 07:52

Olivia Coleman was good in The Night Manager though. Otherwise tend to agree.

Mumteedum · 23/09/2025 08:11

Armie Hammer

Don't know what the truth is there but abuse and potential cannibalism...put me off watching him!

Johnny Depp... Massive nope.
