Do you know anyone who hates a universally liked actor/actress?


I know someone who loathes Emma Stone. I don't get it. There's never been controversy with her, she doesn't seem fake, she seems likable and she never gets political. What's there to hate?

reply

I really really dislike Mark Wahlberg. And he's in everything!!!

reply

Just because he was racist against an Asian dude and gouged his eye out and didn't apologize for 20 years? Haven't we all done that at some point?

reply

He seems to be extremely well liked by everyone else... judging from how many movies he's in every year.

reply

I dislike him because I don't think he can act. Like at all. I also dislike him in interviews.

reply

I really, really dislike him too.

reply

The only valid answer to your question is, "No," because if you know anyone who hates a particular actor/actress, that means that he/she isn't universally liked.

There's probably no such thing as a universally liked actor/actress anyway. Someone like Michael J. Fox might come close, but I'm sure there's at least one person on Earth who doesn't like him; probably a lot more than one.

Robin Williams.

I don't hate him, and this isn't about him as a person. I don't enjoy the majority of his movies. I liked him in serious roles, but I couldn't stand his comedy. Same goes for Jim Carey. The over the top, always on, just isn't my thing. I know Williams is regarded as a genius, and watching him in interviews just able to improvise anything is impressive. It's also exhausting. His story is heart breaking, but I still don't like many of his movies.

My mom is not a movie or TV person, but she absolutely hates Robin Williams going back to his Mork & Mindy days. She felt bad when he died, but she just hates his hyper attitude and was annoyed by the "nanu nanu" thing.

reply

Robin Williams is one of mine too.

No doubt about his talent, but, as you say, exhausting. And also mawkish*. Leaves me cold.

* - Edit - accidental pun.

reply

Same. I had a chance to exchange greetings with RW one time. He seemed like a very nice fellow. Sadly unbalanced.

reply

"Hate" is a pretty strong word. I never cared for Chevy Chase, but I don't hate the guy... I just don't think he's really that funny. I never could understand why everyone raved about him. Maybe I'm missing something, or just don't "get it" regarding his style of humor.

reply

You should see what the cast of "Community" thinks about him.

reply

I've never seen Community, but I did hear rumors about Chase being difficult to work with. I didn't learn of this until fairly recently, so it has nothing to do with my opinion of his humor. From day one, I just never saw him as being that funny.

reply

Chase is OK but I agree that he has always been way overrated. An engaging and sometimes funny lead but his inner asshole always bleeds through his performances.

reply

Ever since I read about him being difficult to work with, I can kind of see that now.

reply

On a rewatch of his old movies with Goldie Hawn (which I really like), his characters are ignoble and even evil yet we are expected to like him because protagonist ... and look, it's SNL's Chevy Chase!

reply

I can't stand Barney the purple dinosaur. Everyone else loves him, but I find him so pretentious and arrogant. He thinks he's better than everyone.

reply

I'm team Baby Bop.

reply

Yeah, she's pretty cute.

reply

Two women I think most people like but I can't stand them. I refuse to watch anything they are in. They make me sick. Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O'Donnell.

reply

They definitely have haters.

reply

The ADD dinosaur Red was the real jerk, just like that cancer-riddled Charlie Brown knock-off kid from Canada...

reply

That's because we are told that he loves us and we love him. Where is my option Barney? "Won't you say you love me too?" sounds like a threat!! Plus you stole that song from 'this old man'.


I hate Barney too.

reply

I hate Forrest Whitaker.

reply

Whoa, whoa back up.

reply

Annoying. Always seems mildly peeved.

reply

Julia Roberts

reply

I can't say I like her much either. She has a dumb look on her face and her voice is annoying.

The media wants me to believe everyone loves Chris Evans. How is that even possible???

reply

I used to hate Chris Evans. Now I don't mind him.

reply

Really? He's only become more annoying.

Anyway, he'll always be that loser from Not Another Teen Movie to me.
