Richard Gere. His eyes look like he's laughing at a joke, but his face tells me the jokes on the audience.

Jason Momoa. Can't act, plays every character the same, and can't seem to keep himself from smirking in every moment of screentime.
Also Paul Dano. Someone else mentioned Leo's "imposter syndrome" and I would apply that to Dano also. I can't tell if he's acting too much or not enough, but he always feels out of place.
Paul Dano was perfect in Swiss Army Man, that sense of "out of place" actually worked incredibly well for that film.
Cringe comedy actors like Ferrell. Just saying or doing stupid cringeworthy shit that really isn’t funny to make a situation more uncomfortable and unbelievable.
Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel and Ben Stiller are the 3 horsemen of the comedy apocalypse
Adam Sandler. I dunno that everyone likes him, but he seems very popular and lots of people seem to love his movies, but I can't fucking stand him. I don't enjoy his style of comedy, I find him equal parts vapid and grating in everything I've ever seen him in, I just don't see the appeal.
From the interviews that I've seen and the accounts of people who've encountered him it seems that he's a pretty genuine guy. He knows he's not making high art and isn't pretending otherwise.
I mean that wouldn't surprise me, I'm sure he's a lovely person, he's just kind of the opposite of entertaining to watch for me. But, to each their own.
Gal Godot.
I'm very impressed with Lemmy here for not doing what Reddit would have and naming a long list of attractive women. That being said, if I didn't feel a moral obligation to boycott Gal Godot, she is so talentless that she hasn't made anyone else's list because it's such a low hanging fruit.
Will Ferrell. He's a creep. He's not funny and is way too keen to play the love interest of actresses much younger than he is.
Ryan Reynolds because I've met and had the displeasure of working with him twice.
Story time?
Yea don't just drop a shit like that and don't flush.
Julia Roberts.
She has way too many teeth, I'm scared.
Tom Cruise. Enough said.
I feel the opposite. I want to hate him so badly, but he's a good actor. Like I was absolutely furious about his casting in Interview with a Vampire, then he killed it, was gaunt and vampire as hell. He is not good looking to me and seems a shit person, but my goodness he can act.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Why does this man have an acting career?
He plays one character, but the character is kind of likable and funny. To me he's the definition of a popcorn flick actor.
Ryan Reynolds. I'd be hesitant to say "everyone likes him" because while he is popular he does have a pretty big base of folks who dislike him as well.
Mark Wahlberg makes my skin crawl
He's the only actor I can think of I actively boycott other than Gal Godot. Aside from his violent racism and American nationalism which is all well documented, I just absolutely loathe the type of character he likes to play; the macho snarky asshole who feels like he got kicked out of basic training and makes being a veteran his whole personality.
There's few archetypes I hate more than the "former soldier who could kill a man, harbouring some deep unnerving instinct", or the "American in a truck who loves the flag and is just a hard working guy", and somehow he always plays and glamorises both, despite not actually being either.
Jack Black. Seems like a nice dude, but he’s a an annoying presence in every movie he’s in. His is the definition of a “sweat act”.
He turned his back on his bandmate after said bandmate made a joke about wishing Trump got assassinated, and he condemned palestine for standing up to their oppressors. He's a shitlib at best
Chris Pratt
He went downhill after parks and rec
Weight loss made him less loveable
I thought the first Guardians of the Galaxy was great, if only because (at the time) it was an unconventional casting choice and made a statement that this Marvel movie was going to be tonally different from the rest.
Following Guardians of the Galaxy, every Marvel movie started to become like Guardians of the Galaxy, and Chris Pratt started to get typecast as "action hero" rather than "hopeless goofball," which was his original purpose for being in Guardians of the Galaxy in the first place.
Every time I see his bad acting, Im just like ”why is this dude so popular and why is he landing these big roles?”
Miles Teller. Ugly mfer
Jared Leto, Tom Cruise. Here on Lemmy they might not be as loved as in the general population, but these pieces of shit posing as human beings are definitely loved more than they should.
Norman Reedus i guess? Im a big metal gear fan but I won’t play death stranding.
Norman reedus is gross and looks like the smelly guy with cigarette burns on his fingers and bitten up fingernails. He repulses me, I have nothing but contempt for him. He’s so skeevy looking.
Matt Damon
His most tolerable role was as the lead singer of Lustra in Euro Trip.
Zendaya, very boring actress
She's very typecast, but she can act. If she actually got a role where she could show strong emotion, I think she could rise to it well. She's good in Challengers and great in Euphoria.
Leonardo DiCaprio. I get huge, cringy 'imposter syndrome' vibes from him, like he knows he shouldn't be doing this for a living but soldiers on regardless. I've never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he's 'acting', and never really embodies the characters or reacts 'in the moment'. It's all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.
I hate that he became Scorsese's new De Niro, and so when I hear of a new Scorsese film I get excited and then immediately lose interest knowing that DiCaprio is probably gonna be leading it. Literally every film he has done would have been better with a different actor.
Also Nicolas Cage. I get the memey antifan sort of thing that bolsters his career, but let's be honest, there's no hint of talent in the man. He has ruined what might have been great films. Bringing Out the Dead could have been a legit classic if not for his involvement.
