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!
Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never believe he is the character I always see an actor trying to portrait a character. Like with other actores I can believe I am seeing something that happened. With DiCaprio I’m always aware that I’m watching an actor doing a performance.
I don’t know if that makes a lot of sense. But it’s one of the few “good” actor that makes me feel this way.
Owen Wilson. Something about him just makes me queasy.
Adam Sandler, with the exception of punch drunk love, maybe. I wanted to like tough cut gems, but I have up or of serving hand cringe
Til Schweiger and Matthias Schweighöfer. I hope none of you have ever heard of them. They are just bad at acting and the movies where one of them is the director are just horrible… and still they are in sooo many german movies.
I enjoy them, they’re easy to watch, I don’t need much
Tom Hanks. I’m not sure why, as he seems like a perfectly nice person, and even a good actor. But I just find him incredibly irritating for some reason.
I don’t know the man but somehow Tom Hanks gives me the “very freaky but very good at hiding it” vibes. 🤷
I mean there’s a list of actors that have ruined their shows for me:
- Danny Masterson
- Bill Cosby
- Kevin Spacey
- James Franco
- Kevin Sorbo
- Tom Cruise
So it’s not really what you asked because these are ones that I used to love and no longer do.
For the dumbest reasons, I can’t enjoy Gal Gadot. Her acting is repellent to me for some reason. Yes, she’s absolutely gorgeous but the acting ain’t great. I also didn’t enjoy Heather Graham’s acting but then I watched her in Scrubs and the role was just perfect. I hated The Rock’s acting as well, but my ex had a crush on him so we watched so many of his movies. Almost all of them shite.
Kevin Spacey has been great or straight up magnificent consistently, lol, is it the moral aspect that disturbs you? I firmly believe (and evidence keeps piling up!) that most Hollywood actresses were couch casted, many boys were touched and the cycle repeats. The entire entertainment industry is compromised and has been for years (check out who taught Diddy his tricks). Nvm the “Hollywood accounting” too, money laundering and all of that.
Basically, if you’re enjoying American media, odds are it was made by someone who’s gonna go straight to Hell, no “Go” no 200 bucks, and bigger odds than whoever is making money out of your purchase/rental is going to an even lower circle, lol. Just pirate it and you take away your contribution to amorality, right?
Gadot being pro genocide is a good reason not to support her
I had an internal laugh to myself in the Wonder Woman movie when the Amazons had an Israeli accent. I guess it was easier to train everyone else to mimic her accent than it was for her to not let it slip.
Which Rock movies aren’t shite? I recall enjoying the Rundown, but that was also well before reaching the current saturation point
Moana
lol dude, I watched Baywatch, San Andreas, Rampage, SkyScraper, Jumanji and Central Intelligence from what I remember with my ex. I swear to God those movies get blurred in my mind due to his “samey” character/acting.
I think some of the movies you could argue that aren’t shite of the Rock’s are Rundown, Jumanji, Moana, and maybe some of the Fast and Furious movies. Although, I never really watched those (I’ve only see the first) but other people seem to enjoy them.
Tom Cruise I just don’t like anything about him
Will Smith, because he’s annoyed me in every role after Prince of Bel Air
Hate the person, love the actor. He’s made loads of good movies, so I can’t complain
I’m not a fan of Tom Cruise either, but I love Edge of Tomorrow. That might be my only exception
I am no fan of Tom Cruise, but his performance in Tropic Thunder is a god damned masterpeice
I enjoyed watching Tom Cruise die over and over and over and over and over.
I’m just here to watch the bird people fuck
I liked Tom a lot in Collateral. Such a great movie.
Minority report was pretty damn solid too. Knght and day wasn’t bad for guilty pleasure
That and Magnolia.
I don’t have a problem with Tom Cruise as an actor, but ever since my daughter pointed it out, I can’t help staring at his tooth.
If you stare too deeply into the tooth, the tooth stares back into you.
Toofs
Nope. Toof. Singular.
He has a front tooth. Where most of the rest of us have two upper front teeth, co-captains of the mouth, he has one right there in the middle.
Wait until you watch Legend and see his teeth before he had work done.
My one co captain tooth is in front of another despite years of braces :( slowly leading to a central tooth and worries that I’ll have to get the misplaced one removed
-
Adam Sandler
-
Jennifer Lopez
-
“Insert ex-Saturday Night Live actor here”
-
Leonardo DiCaprio (I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’ve believed he was a shit actor forever and there’s a reason it took him so long to get an oscar…and it wasn’t because of “snubbing”…he was just routinely shit up until the Revenant.)
-
John Travolta
-
Jennifer Lawrence (Up until recently, she was literally the female DiCaprio. Everything I said about him applied to her. Unlike DiCaprio, she got far far better rather quickly and my issue with her nowadays is mostly her choice of movies just aren’t my jam.)
-
Tom Cruise
Hey now on SNL, bill Hader is awesome especially after Barry. And Phil Hartman
Ha! I was going to pipe up just to mention Bill Hader! He’s apparently quite anxious about improv but he’s also just so good.
Phil Hartman has honestly been gone for so long now I’ve forgotten him. But yeah, you are correct.
As for Bill Hader. He’s the best of a bad bunch, and he’s okay, but being one of the better SNL alums is a very very low bar to cross.
And I mean, yeah…I should definitely clarify that I’m not talking about classic SNL (Eddie Murphy, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, etc…) That generation made great films after their careers at SNL ended.

Mel Gibson.
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.
I just can’t believe he asked Winona Ryder if she was an “oven dodger.” Wtf
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.
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.
Boss Level looked interesting. When I found out he was in it…nope.
Absolutely. Take your bigoted self and go away Mel.
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.
Jared Leto
Oh another Tron movie! Oh it’s Jared Leto…
My exact thoughts. Sigh.
NiN doing the soundtrack though. Tempting
I think he nailed the character in Bladerunner 2049, but maybe it suited him so it worked.
All credit goes to the director, as Denis gets top notch performances from every single person in his films.
It probably helped that he had a relatively minor role in it too. The face of his faction of characters in the film was Luv
Seth Rogan
Will Farrell’s later stuff
Vince Vaughn
Kevin Hart
Ryan Reynolds (other than Deadpool)
Will Smith, after that slapping Chris Rock nonsense
Oh and (am Asian and tried to give her a chance but) Akwafina makes me cringe
Honorable mention: Adam Sandler makes me very wary. I get that he likes making movies with friends, but goddang his lows are low. Although recently I thought Uncut Gems was good
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
Holy shit idk how I forgot to mention Kevin Hart!
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.
Tom Cruise
This. I’m sure Mission Impossible series are entertaining action movies, but I really can’t stand looking at his smug face.
Amber Heard, Will Ferrell, Rodney Dangerfield, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Poor guy can’t get no respect
