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!

Glen Powell.

It's like he was designed by a committee to make the most generic movie star white man imaginable.

He makes me want to buy a rape alarm, and I'm a man.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised at all if he was revealed to not actually exist, and is in fact 100% CGI.

Jude Law. He creeps me out so much I can't watch him. He's been in the news for domestic abuse which doesn't surprise me... I shudder watching him

You can tell my generation has mostly aged out of social media because no one has said Pauly Shore.

[–] AscendantSquid@lemm.ee 1 points 3 minutes ago

What's wrong with Pauly Shore?

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Billy Bob Thornton. The prick.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

The woman that played Cameron on "Halt and Catch Fire". Couldn't enjoy "Station 11" because she was in it.

Anthony Mackie

He has zero charisma and was largely responsible for bringing down the quality of Altered Carbon S2 (though the writers did him no favours) and was the most boring part of The Falcon & Winter Soldier.

I couldn't bring myself to watch the new Captain America movie mainly because of him being in the lead role.

[–] TheDarkestShark@lemmy.world 1 points 31 minutes ago

Whole heartedly agree.

His Black Mirror episode was also probably the most fucked up episode, and not in the fucked up way I want my Black Mirror episodes.

Gal gadot and Elisabeth Moss for me. Also not a fan of Jason Momoa/Chris Hemsworth type of guys. Anything with them in the lead and I generally nope out. It has to do with the plain, flat, repetitive characters and lack of depth, not the physique (for example I respect dave Bautista evolution).

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago* (last edited 37 seconds ago)

I struggle with Elizabeth Moss, too. The whole "being in a cult while making a show warning people about cults" thing is wild to me. Only other place I saw her was Mad Men and I found her unlikable. But I hated that whole show, really.

[–] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Elizabeth I'm ok with except I keep wanting to scream "leave the cult!" at the screen. Gal is gorgeous but bland

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 22 minutes ago* (last edited 21 minutes ago)

Gal is a terrible actress.

Like, a whole island full of warrior women had to put on an Israeli accent because she can't do anything else.

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 hours ago

Will Ferrel, Jack Black... the rock is rapidly getting there. Jada Plinkett Smith.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Matthew Broderick.

He's an alright actor, but seeing him always reminds me of that time he got drunk (rumored) and killed two people with his car in Ireland but faced almost zero repercussions (he got a small fine).

[–] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Gawd I'd forgotten until I saw your comment. How is he not condemned for it?

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 34 minutes ago

This was mostly pre internet and he's just never addressed it making it a non story. He claimed he had amnesia and couldn't remember the accident which definitely at least feels like it adds evidence to the drunk driving claims... But, nothing ever came of it.

He was driving with Jennifer grey, she's talked about it a bit and is obviously still traumatized, but she still backs up the 'he was sober' story that they managed to sell at the time.

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.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Julia Stiles. Saw her in Save the Last Dance and some other movie and absolutely could not get on with the movie. It's like she's not acting or doesn't know how to act. She's kind of like in audition mode the entire time and I just don't get anything from her face or her actions. I sometimes get the same thing from Keanu but at least I like the movies he's in. With her I just rage quit 5 min in seeing her. She just ruins it for me. Also yes, also don't like The Rock. I'm sure we saw the same YouTube vid where the guy bashes on him for not knowing how to act as any other "character"... which when looking back, it's true. He's literally the same persona every god damn time.

[–] dajoho@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

Came here to say Julia Stiles but you totally beat me to it! I cannot stand any film she is in either. It's really hard to describe, but your description is spot-on. It's like an empty husk with makeup has been made to act.

[–] dryfter@lemm.ee 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Ben Stiller

I just can’t. He makes me anxious just seeing him on screen. I so want to watch Meet the Fockers because DeNiro is one of my faves, I just can’t do it.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

I'd be really curious to hear your thoughts after watching the secret life of Walter Mitty.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 4 points 14 hours ago

if it makes you feel better ben stiller just embarasses himself the whole movie
