movie star actors I dislike

Here are a few movie stars I don't care for, and not (like Sean Connery, for instance) because of something about my impression of them as people.  They just rub me the wrong way, somehow.


Kevin Spacey
Nicholas Cage
Kevin Costner
Renelle Zegwegler
Jack Nicholson
Jim Carrey
Kristen Wiig
James Mason
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Kevin Bacon

Do you have some of these?

Renee Zellwegger (you mangled that one!) and Catherine Zeta Jones also rub me the wrong way.

I'd add to that:

Patricia Clarkson;
Mia Farrow;
David Spade;

I'm sure there are others ... these are off the top of my head.

Hi, Tracy.

I'm with you on David Spade, and lukewarm at best to Mia. Patricia Clarkson, not so bad, but no great shakes in my book neether.

Also Renelle mangled (gleefully) intentionally. I dislike her so irrationally that I even hold her name and its wrong-feeling pronunciation against her!

John Malkovich. Probably because he's so good at playing characters you are not supposed to like.

Ben Stiller. His movies assume I'm stupid.

Russell Crowe. Not as hot as he thinks he is.

No argument on any of those, though I have laughed at some of Ben assuming I'm stupid.

I almost included Russell Crowe, but I've avoided his movies well enough that it didn't seem fair to name him.

Mine are Jim Carrey, Kevin Bacon and Tom Cruise. Luckily, I rarely watch current films, so it's usually not a problem.

I have trouble keeping my movie stars straight. I think I'm a bit face blind. And I'm kind of out of date in my movie watching, and my celebrity recognition skills are about 30 years behind the times. So the movie stars I've come to dislike are Clint Eastwood and Tony Curtis.

Tom Cruise.

Ew.

Renee Zellweger really bothers me.

It cracks me up that I'm so used to us saying Renelle Zegwegler that I didn't even really notice that you'd used it. Renelle Zegwegler. That's just become her name to me.

Also, in answer to your original question, I've always had a passionate dislike of Melanie Griffith. She's so justifiably irrelevant it hardly seems worth mentioning, but that's who easily comes to mind as a movie actor who I can't stand. And, as you know, I'm no fan of Renelle Zegwegler.

No quarrel with your list-

Apart from James Mason- whom I love dearly.

Tom Cruise: good point, y'all.
