Actors & Actresses you just don't like!

Much as I want to dislike him for being a Souths man and the infamous ‘throw a mobile phone at a player who would later help the Roosters to two premierships’ incident, Crowe seems in large part to be a mostly decent fellow.

Being in LA Confidential doesn’t hurt as it is arguably the best movie I’ve ever seen. Though Kevin Spacey was also in it and that didn’t work out well for everyone he’s been close to over the years.

I've spent a fair bit of time working in Woolloomooloo (Sydney) where Crow lives (out on the end of the Finger Wharf) and there's stories regularly in the local papers about him being down at the local basketball court playing basketball with the local underprivileged kids.

Pretty much the entire current season of Yellowstone

I don't have much time for Tom Cruise as a person, but every time I watch one of his movies I seem to enjoy it. Go figure.

Jesse Eisenberg

When playing an egotistical, thoroughly unlikeable POS he is fine.

But when he tries something different he still comes across as an egotistical, thoroughly unlikeable POS.

This and Ryan Reynolds too, I find him even more grating than Eisenberg somehow

Interesting that I’m not a fan of Russell Crowe, yet he seems to be a ripper of bloke by all reports.

And the actors I do enjoy seem to be utter flogs irl.

Probably says more about me if we’re speaking openly here.

Shailene Woodley

Felt my age when instead of playing a teenage girl Shailene Woodley was playing a psychiatrist or psychologist

I think I’m firmly back in the camp of liking him again after seeing a reel of Crowe just yesterday (it may have even been posted on this forum??) where he talked about sequels and basically said ‘how many sequels can you think of that were as good as the original - that’s one reason I don’t do them. But I would really love to see what happened to Bud White from LA Confidential.’

I’m glad Bud is as important a character in his career as what he is to me as a movie consumer.

it's totally irrational, but joseph gordon levitt. probably his stupid baby face.
i think it might stem from this gq photo shoot with claudia schiffer. no idea how i came across but it's kind of ick. looks like a mother and son hooking up.

 

[frontierpsychiatrist]

I’ve never liked Tom Hanks for some reason. Quite a bland actor.

People don’t like Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe but I quite like them

Agree with your whole post. The only Tom Hanks film I've ever enjoyed was Big, and that was mostly down to Zoltan and the kid who played Hanks' best friend.

I've yet to watch anything featuring Jennifer Lawrence because she annoys me and I don't even know why.

 

[HeathySure]

Tried to watch Black Doves to see if i still had the dislike for Keira Knightley, and yep, couldn't do more than 30 minutes despite the show being ok.

 

[emuboy]

I have nothing against American actor Adam Driver, but for some reason I have never liked any of the movies or TV shows he has been in, but none of this was due to Driver himself.

While I wouldn't use the term 'dislike', I was also totally unconvinced by Driver's Star Wars co-star Daisy Ridley. I just couldn't buy her performance in these films, nothing about her portrayal of her character Rey felt real. I wouldn't class her performance as 'bad', just completely unconvincing.

 

[Plugger35]

The first film I watched with Adam Driver was The Force Awakens as Kylo Ren, I didn't rate him that much or knew who he was.

The next film I watched him in was BlacKkKlansmen and I thought this guy with the big nose is good, he was the standout actor.

It wasn't until after it that I twigged that he was the same actor that played Kylo Ren, he is a much better actor in normal films.

Not even great actors like Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor looked like good actors in Star Wars films as it's all green screens.

They were trying to have lightsaber fights with an imaginary Yoda or Darth Maul on a green screen rather than with real actors.

The green screen criticism is 100% fair for the prequel series. However, they listened to the fan backlash, and used practical effects (instead of CGI) wherever possible - at least in The Force Awakens.

 

[spinynorman]

I really like Adam Driver. Paterson, Silence, BlacKKKlansman, Marriage Story, Annette and Megalopolis all show a very wide range, and he goes all in on each of them. Admittedly all are with extremely established directors so you could say it’s not too big a risk, but if they seek him out and he seeks them out that probably speaks well for him.

I see your George Clooney and raise you Hugh Grant, who plays Hugh Grant in every movie he can

Up until last night I agreed with you about Hugh Grant. Then I watched "Heretic", in which Hugh Grant is incredibly plausible as the antagonist in a psychological horror movie. He's creepy but not OTT creepy. And it's made worse because every time he opens his mouth you expect him to be Hugh Grant and say something charming but he doesn't, he just creeps you out again.

He said in an interview I watched recently that he is trying to move away from his usual charming leading man roles in rom coms.

to be fair this has been underway for a while, since the 2000s the only one he appears to have done is The Rewrite. Even when he does play a kind of charming suitor it usually has a darker manipulative undercurrent, like in stuff like Florence Foster Jenkins, A Very English Scandal, The Undoing, etc.

He is probably getting too old to play those charming leading man rom com type roles now anyway, he is well into his 60s now.
