For me it’s The Rock and Chris Pratt.

Guardians of the Galaxy was great but I just wish he would stop playing starlord in every other role he’s in!

      This. I’m sure Mission Impossible series are entertaining action movies, but I really can’t stand looking at his smug face.

        I’m a huge fan of the original Mission Impossible TV series from the 60’s and 70’s. I’ve watched the entire series a few times now. I can’t stand what Cruise did to the franchise, especially since he basically plays the same thrill seeking character in all his recent movies.

      I renamed my cat because of this guy. I don’t really like to change animals names from what it was at the shelter in case they’re used to it, and I have a cat named Mel, who I suspect was named for him because there was another nearby cat in the shelter he came from named “Gibson”.

      So I’ve renamed him after Mel Brooks.

        Its common for shelters to name the pets themselves, as they don’t always come with one. They might have just been going down common famous names with no real intent behind it. My cat was originally named Miami, and her brothers and sisters all had american city names too.

      This is the first one I agree with. Everybody else, they’ve had good ones, and they’ve had bad ones, but their name alone doesn’t ruin anything for me.

      I’ve heard there’s some weird stuff around Leto, so that might be worth avoiding him, but I never really paid attention, and I don’t think about that guy at all.

      I’m sad that I like a film of him, ‘We were soldiers’.

      But I like the film because my dad took me to the cinema to see it, not because of the film itself.

      Childhood’s trauma stuff and shits, that’s how it is and too bad it’s a Mel Gibson movie 🤷🏻‍♂️

        I loved that film as it was a good film. Even Mel’s baggage can’t wreck it. Sam Elliott’s character was brilliant especially.

    Kevin Hart

    Ryan Reynolds (other than Deadpool)

    Will Smith, after that slapping Chris Rock nonsense

      I +1 that Will Smith sentiment.

      I feel like a hypocrite somewhat, since I’m aware of other actors who did far worse things and yet I’m not as put off in a similar manner. I guess it’s easier to separate the art from the artist in some people more than others…

        He was great in action/comedy big blockbuster flicks but that Oscar slap made him super insecure and uncool. Like he lost his swag. Will Smith doesn’t sell that he’s That Guy anymore

      Uncut Gems was a damn masterpiece, pure stress and anxiety from start to finish. He deserved an Oscar nom for that at the least.

      Seriously with Will Smith. How am I supposed to see him in some emotional role with depth when all I see is a fragile man who can’t manage his own ego.

      Agree with the Awkwafina sentiment, I think for me it’s that she got famous for her music/comedy (not sure which had the most impact in her career) then slipped into acting like Kevin Hart and other comedians tend to do.

      Not that it shouldn’t be done, but I feel like she hasn’t really proven herself on screen. Also, the Awkwafina moniker is a bit detrimental if being taken seriously on stage is her goal.

    Hugh Grant. I’m sure he’s both a wonderful person and a great actor, but… he seems to have gotten typecast into a certain type of movie that I just cannot stand. He’s become a litmus test for movies I should just not bother watching.

      I’d recommend watching Heretic. I thought he crushed it as a bad guy. I also liked him in The Gentleman. Both are far from his Notting Hill and Two Weeks Notice romcom type stuff.

      Try Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I love Hugh in that movie and I’m not really a Hugh Grant guy either.

    Kevin Hart- doesn’t act, plays himself but doesn’t lean into that like Ryan Reynolds does. Will Smith- more of the above in recent years Jonah Hill- something inside me screams asshole every time I look at him Tom Cruise- he can take his propaganda elsewhere.

      Jonah hill isn’t a shitty person for not wanting to be referred to as the fat comedian. People only saw him in his personal life in shitty interviews and thats why people think hes an asshole.

      Check out the Edgar wright interview, they were very aware of it even when superbad was just coming out. FYI that interview is a bit.

        I will definitely take a look at that! Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that this was because of weight. He just ends up coming off as very snooty in a lot of his serious roles to me. He gives villain vibes in those roles, genuinely never watched an interview of him personally tbh.

      I have that face thing with Patrick Swayze and Meryl Streep. And the girl from Dirty Dancing. I am working on getting over Jennifer Lawrence’s face. All these people are surely somewhat good actors but there is something about their faces that I cannot stand and it makes it impossible for me to focus on the plot. I just made it through Silver Linings Playbook today, finally, it was hard but I am glad I managed, Lawrence did a good job and I forgot about her face for almost 30% of the time. One day I will manage to watch more than 15 minutes of Dirty Dancing.

          No, the people you mentioned are fine. I think it is something with the nose-chin-cheek combo that I find appalling.

          For Jennifer Lawrence it’s a separate thing, we have many similar features (like fat cheeks and hooded eyes) and it creeps me out too much and I get insecure watching her. I keep thinking how weird I must look and reevaluate my makeup the whole time, it’s too stressful.

          I also have a thing where I can’t stop thinking of rooster anuses whenever I see Kevin Bacon (his mouth).

          I want to emphasize that none of this is meant in a mean spirited way and those people are beautiful the way they are. It’s my brain that makes these associations and I very much disapprove of them.

            No reason to be ashamed. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that’s a good thing. But it also means that you can never please everyone. You are happiest when you accept yourself as you are. And never compare you with Hollywood.
            My text reads like fortune cookie advice, but it is meant honestly. Have a nice day.

        He’s solid (in my opinion) in Brawl in Cell Block 99 also, as one of his non-comedy roles.

    I’m surprised nobody’s said Ezra Miller yet.

    Also Noah Centineo, Shailene Woodley, and - she seems like a sweet person but - Kristen Stewart.

    Plus any Disney/Nickelodeon kids who never grew up past that phase; like Debby Ryan or Bella Thorne (though I don’t think she’s done much lately).

    ETA: Lacey Chabert, as she’s exclusively in Hallmark-type slop now. It’s concerning.

      I used to think he was just a crass asshole but after watching and then loving Righteous Gemstones, he grew on me. Gemstones is such a crazy, hilarious, and satisfying show and the fact that he created/showran it changed my mind about him

        Eastbound and down is pretty wild too. His sense of humor is always one step ahead of me for some reason and it works.
