Popular movie stars you actually hate


I’ve heard people say they can’t stand Will Farrell or Tom Hanks. I find it amusing that big stars are unwatchable for some.

Here’s mine, Jennifer Anniston. I hated friends and never felt that she deserved a movie career.

Tyler Perry really irks me.

I liked him in Deliverance but I'm not a fan of Jon Voight.

reply

Tom Cruise

He's good looking and a good actor but something about him is so slimy, and he's a narcissistic nutcase.

reply

Wouldn't say they're popular as such but I can't stand Michael Rapaport (Gobshite), Jesse Eisenberg (Delusions of grandeur) or Michael J. Pollard (One trick pony) Sandra Bollock (fake)

Nicholas cage, he just always sounds like he is reading the script rather than acting.

reply

He was considered great in his early pictures. But his voice got on people's nerves. I don't think he's ever really changed his voice for a role. Maybe he sounded even more pretentious for the movie Family Man

Brit Marling gets on my nerves.

reply

I find her annoying as well, though how would anyone consider her popular?

reply

good point

honestly, it's almost never been the case that any particular star or performer has kept me from watching a film.

but it's certainly true that some actors tend to make the kinds of films i'd rather not watch. but if any of those people do make films i'm interested in, i'll have no problem watching them.

i'd rather do anything else in the world than watch a julia roberts rom-com, but put her in confessions of a dangerous mind & i'll watch her happily.

i'd rather die than watch a jim carey comedy, but i think eternal sunshine is a truly great film, and i think he's fine in it.

i honestly don't think there's a performer who's a complete show-stopper for me.

I can't think of any stars that I hate. Not a fan of, sure.

Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, and Bruce Willis are the only 3 that come to mind. Yet, I've seen all of them in films that I've liked.
