For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.

Tom Cruise - but damn, his performance in Tropic Thunder is a masterclass.

The first time I saw the film, I didn't even recognize that he was in it.

Kevin Spacey. Because the people that accuse him of raping them keep committing suicide right before trial. And then he released that creepy video of himself sitting in front of a fireplace talking about "killing them with kindness". I've refused to watch anything with him in it since I found out.

Jonah Hill with the exception of Wolf of the Wall Street

A name I haven't seen in this thread is Owen Wilson. I hate his aloofness and his delivery. When combined with Ben Stiller it's a force multiplier.

Hollywood is starting to make me dislike Pedro Pascal only because he's in EVERY DAMN THING.

I actually like the guy, but overexposure is a thing. And he could stand to just chill for a little while.

The first one that comes to mind is Jared Leto. Can't stand him in any role but I will tolerate him in Requiem for a Dream. And even then I've only seen that movie once which is more than enough.

Gérard Depardieu is one of the worst representatives of his own species.

He's also one of the best actors.

I've always wondered about those brilliant actors being idiots and/or assholes. How can they at the same time show (what I believed to be) such deep understanding of their fellow humans? Or is it just pure mimicry, without any intelligence and empathy?

Anthony Mackie.

He has a face that is simultaneously smug and dumbstruck. He ruined Altered Carbon, he was the weakest part of the Falcon & Einyer Soldier series, and he just screams “Overrated” to me.

But he was ok in 8 Mile.

Woody Allen. Everything about the way he acts just makes my skin crawl.

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I will never understand the accolades. His movies aren't funny, his schtick is old after like 30 seconds and Annie Hall was fucking dull as shit.

Having grown up through the 80s I hate them. Shit like his nonsense is one of the many reasons why.

I couldn't stand Jason Statham. Then many years ago I watched Spy with Melissa McCarthy and he was the perfect piss take of his characters from so many other movies. Example scene that shows his comedic stupidity. Ever since I haven't minded the guy.

Will Ferrell. He might be the most unpopular actor here? Quite a few mentions.

He’s the epitome of “cringe comedy”, the comedy where the goal is to make actions and situations more and more outrageously uncomfortable as the story progresses. Can’t stand that style. I really don’t find him funny at all and avoid his films. Exception being Elf, and the only reason why is that the script doesn’t allow him much room to act the way he usually does. He has to expend effort.

Will Farrell and people who have the same "try hard" comedy style as Will Farrell; Steve Carrell, Ben Stiller, etc.

Chris Pratt, I never got why he’s famous. I was never a fan anything he did he just seemed like a one trick pony. (Be the dumb/funny chubby guy) then he did Guardians of the Galaxy and yes I did enjoy it but that’s about it. And with him being casted in almost everything lately I’m done with him.

Amber Heard. I used to find her attractive and her acting is decent. Then, the whole court case fiasco happened and I just can’t tolerate her anymore. I haven't watched Aquaman because of her.

There are no exceptions.
