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!

      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’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 🤷🏻‍♂️

      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.

        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

      Saw him in real life once… he yelled “shut your mouths” to his fans chanting for him to come outside. His whole appearance that day and how he treated those around him has forever made me dislike 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.

        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.

      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.

    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.

    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

      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.

    • 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.)

        I’m a huge fan of the original Mission Impossible TV series from the 60’s and 70’s. I’ve watched the entire series a few times now. I can’t stand what Cruise did to the franchise, especially since he basically plays the same thrill seeking character in all his recent movies.

      Good grief, another one I was going to mention that’s already covered.

      His movies are mostly bad, I think you and I might agree on that.

      But the other aspect of it is that a lot of the people I knew who liked his early movies were just really shitty humans. So by association, I think that affected how I saw his movies. Just seemed like a magnet for terrible people and it was hard to separate those two things for me. Not to mention, the movies themselves were objectively somewhere between awful and just not that great, so I didn’t feel like I was missing out much.

      Oh, and I got “dragged” to that movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry IN THE THEATER. And that reasserted everything I already knew to be true about Adam Sandler movies.

      IMO, he has been playing the same over-grown man-child of a character in every movie for 20 years (with exceptions).

      Also Happy Madison studios wrote Dana Carvey a blank check to make one of the worst movies ever made and that was the last nail in the coffin for his acting career.
