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!

Kevin Hart

Ryan Reynolds (other than Deadpool)

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...

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

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

  • Adam Sandler

  • Jennifer Lopez

  • "Insert ex-Saturday Night Live actor here"

  • 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.)

  • Tom Cruise

Shia LeBeouf, though he's mostly gone away at this point.

[–] NotAnotherLemmyUser@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He's following you, about 30 feet back.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Actual cannibal, Shia LeBeouf...

Will Ferrell. He gives me the creeps and he isn't funny.

Owen Wilson. Something about him just makes me queasy.

Adam Sandler, with the exception of punch drunk love, maybe. I wanted to like tough cut gems, but I have up or of serving hand cringe

Hugh Grant. I'm sure he's both a wonderful person and a great actor, but... he seems to have gotten typecast into a certain type of movie that I just cannot stand. He's become a litmus test for movies I should just not bother watching.

[–] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I’d recommend watching Heretic. I thought he crushed it as a bad guy. I also liked him in The Gentleman. Both are far from his Notting Hill and Two Weeks Notice romcom type stuff.

Til Schweiger and Matthias Schweighöfer. I hope none of you have ever heard of them. They are just bad at acting and the movies where one of them is the director are just horrible... and still they are in sooo many german movies.

I’m surprised to see no Chris Pratt (or CP, as he likes to be called) in this thread.

But Chris Pratt for me.

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

Chris Pratt is one of my big ones... Can't stand the guy

I’m surprised nobody’s said Ezra Miller yet.

Also Noah Centineo, Shailene Woodley, and - she seems like a sweet person but - Kristen Stewart.

Plus any Disney/Nickelodeon kids who never grew up past that phase; like Debby Ryan or Bella Thorne (though I don’t think she’s done much lately).

ETA: Lacey Chabert, as she’s exclusively in Hallmark-type slop now. It’s concerning.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The Rock is definitely overused, but he f****** killed it in the Rundown with Sean William Scott. I love Sean Williams Scott

[–] Atin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Amber Heard, Will Ferrell, Rodney Dangerfield, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never believe he is the character I always see an actor trying to portrait a character. Like with other actores I can believe I am seeing something that happened. With DiCaprio I'm always aware that I'm watching an actor doing a performance.

I don't know if that makes a lot of sense. But it's one of the few "good" actor that makes me feel this way.

I don’t switch anything off faster than when Danny McBride shows up
