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!

    Jason Bateman. Used to be Jeremy Renner and Tim Robbins so I guess it’s an unconscious bias against little guys with too-big faces for their features.

      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.

      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.

    Kevin Hart

    Ryan Reynolds (other than Deadpool)

    Will Smith, after that slapping Chris Rock nonsense

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

      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.

      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

      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.

    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.

    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’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.

    Jenna Ortega. For awhile I only saw her name in poor bastardizations of my favourite childhood media and it has soured me on her work entirely.

      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

    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?

        A lot of actors are terrible people but Kevin Spacey specifically seems to play it up irl for some reason?

        After he got booted for the whole thing he started making videos on his YouTube channel telling the world that he would come for them and that they would regret hurting him while in character as a villain from projects he’s worked in in the past.

        He’s the only actor I know of that knows exactly why people don’t want to see him and continues to play into that specifically for some reason…

        Oh, he went right-wing religious. I think he was a Jan 6th denier/supporter saying it was antifa. His views on atheists was weird. Like, when he did the Gods Not Dead movie and he was playing an “atheist” he was like, I had to get into the mind of an atheist and be the most despicable person or something.

        He’s been a bit looney on Twitter for a while now.

        Although I haven’t checked in for a while. I haven’t checked since awkward Hitler took over.

      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.

        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.
