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 just can’t believe he asked Winona Ryder if she was an “oven dodger.” Wtf
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 🤷🏻♂️

Jared Leto
I think he nailed the character in Bladerunner 2049, but maybe it suited him so it worked.
All credit goes to the director, as Denis gets top notch performances from every single person in his films.
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

Tom Cruise I just don't like anything about him
Will Smith, because he's annoyed me in every role after Prince of Bel Air
I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise either, but I love Edge of Tomorrow. That might be my only exception
I enjoyed watching Tom Cruise die over and over and over and over and over.
I am no fan of Tom Cruise, but his performance in Tropic Thunder is a god damned masterpeice

Minority report was pretty damn solid too. Knght and day wasn't bad for guilty pleasure
I liked Tom a lot in Collateral. Such a great movie.

I don't have a problem with Tom Cruise as an actor, but ever since my daughter pointed it out, I can't help staring at his tooth.
If you stare too deeply into the tooth, the tooth stares back into you.

Hate the person, love the actor. He's made loads of good movies, so I can't complain

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.
Gadot being pro genocide is a good reason not to support her
I had an internal laugh to myself in the Wonder Woman movie when the Amazons had an Israeli accent. I guess it was easier to train everyone else to mimic her accent than it was for her to not let it slip.

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.

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...

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.)

Jonah hill
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

Will Smith and Jared Leto for sure (including 2049, which was a disgrace compared to the masterpiece that is the original, despite me loving Arrival, Dune Part I and Sicario).
I also cannot stand anyone meant to appeal only to Americans, like Kevin Hart, Chevy Chase, Queen Latifah and all that stuff. Used to like Tom Hanks in the 1990s, but after that he became part of the latter group for me.
If you are ever going to try again watching a The Rock movie (I don't mind him at all, although not being calling me to watch a movie), please make it Hercules: that movie genuinely surprised me.

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.
Try Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I love Hugh in that movie and I’m not really a Hugh Grant guy either.
Yeah, I never really liked him before, but I'm down with his recent villain arc.
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.

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.
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.

The Rock is definitely overused, but he f****** killed it in the Rundown with Sean William Scott. I love Sean Williams Scott
I’m surprised to see no Chris Pratt (or CP, as he likes to be called) in this thread.
But Chris Pratt for me.
Chris Pratt is one of my big ones... Can't stand the guy
