[Film] Actors you can't stand

[marlowe]

He was always a fake.

He never rang true on screen.

Despite being a proponent of “manly values” he was one of the first Hollywood stars to have cosmetic surgery to try and keep his “youthful” looks.

The fact is that while there are some actors who cultivate a hard man image, very few actually are.

Some of Wayne’s generation of actors obviously fought in WW2 and so I’d likely say they were the real deal. But Wayne was arguably a draft dodger.

Wayne never enlisted and even filed for a 3-A draft deferment, which meant that if the sole provider for a family of four were drafted, it would cause his family undue hardship. Other version say he was too old to fight but desperately tried to enlist.

Either way, the closest he ever came to World War II service was portraying the actions of others on film. And he did that rather unconvincingly.

He was mostly a fraud.

He was also a vile racist and homophobic bigot.
Some of his comments in an interview in 1971:

“I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people,“

“I don’t feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves.”

With respect to Native Americans he said:
“I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival”

“There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.”

Jason Statham. Cockney hard man from Derbyshire.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

James Nesbitt.

I cannot and will not watch anything with this wooden, charisma-less bore who delivers his lines with no feeling whatsoever, and has a constantly perplexed expression on his face.

Just awful.

Well, that all sounds lovely.

Some will say Donald Trump is an actor. I believe you all know my feelings about Donald Trump.

Bloody actors acting on screen Clampy. Fakers.

I was once asked if I'd like someone's spare ticket to a play starring James Corden.
I replied I'd rather nail my cock to an electric eel.

Your loss. I've seen him twice on stage - in The History Boys and One Man; Two Guv'nors - and he was excellent in both. Two superb plays with an equally superb cast.

 

[Barham's tash]

Keira ****ing Knightly. Talentless, plain and wooden as hell.

Having met him several times through an ex I can fully confirm you would definitley have made the right call there.

Oh I agree he can definitely act, otherwise everyone would find him as odious as I do.

I don't think he's bad at acting.
I think he's an unbearable twat.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Bill Nighy. Can't remember if it was Mitchell and Webb who did a skit taking the piss out of his acting 'range'

 

[Motogull]

John Wayne. I adore cowboy/westerns but for some unknown reason I cannot stand anything with the Duke in.

Good call that.

I doubt he'd have been as big a star if we has born a few decades later.

 

[Jackthelad]

Steve Martin is a good call. Anyone growing up in the 90s of 4 channels on TV and Steve Martin films being shown every weekend non stop. Father of the Bride felt like it was never off TV.

A crap genre. Hated them then and now.
Three Men and a Baby was similar.

Keira ****ing Knightly. Talentless, plain and wooden as hell.

Did she rebuff your advances

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

That one in Friday Night Dinner who was also in Eastenders. Horrible individual.
Also just noticed someone put Laurence Fox, yeah, he’s a c**t

About 4 years ago he played a dying civil servant in a film called “Living” which is for me one of the best acting performances I’ve ever seen by anyone in anything. An understated masterpiece and totally believable.

I have to say, I thought that film was terrible.
