Most bewildering person to currently be a movie star

jonah hill.......never got him, never will.

Rooney "autistic stare " Mara

I actually find Renner attractive in spite of his douchebro personality.

Will Arnet

Dex Shepherd

They are fugly-weird looking guys. I cannot see any screen appeal.

Ben Affleck, now, then, and forever.

Chrissy Metz (at least until invent IMAX+Cinerama)

Emma "Bug Eyes" Stone

Ben Affleck

Nicole Kidman, frozen ice queen. Seth mcfarlane too. He has been cast in the new Roger Ailes film and he's incredibly repulsive to look at.

Gerard Butler. How did that happen?

Jeniffer Lawrence owns this thread.

Gerard Butler was hot once upon a time. It was years and years ago, so i have no idea how he's kept his movie star career going so long, but he was once pretty.

I saw Gerard Butler in a restaurant in LA a few months ago. He looks better in person than he does on-screen which is saying something.

Totally agree about Renner and Hill. Hill makes me nauseated.

Even Renners Skype jerkoff video was boring.

Aw! I think Seth MacFarlane is cute. But he somehow still looks like he's about 15. I find that a little disturbing.

In whose world is Jeremy Renner really a "star"?

Bradley Cooper

Gotta be Rooney Mara. Little talent. Not riveting at all. Acts like a church mouse. No confidence. Talks with a lisp. 5'2" at best. No charisma. Horrific at selling a movie. Terrible in interviews. Not overly attractive. No presence on screen or off. Wouldn't notice her in an empty room.

Brie Larson. She's plain looking and has no charisma.

For people who think Rooney Mara is odd, please go to this youtube video and fast forward to the 4:44 point and tell me WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED AT THAT MOMENT. Seriously, you need to see this.

R21 Stinky linky! Give us the name of the video.

R21, It's not a link. You copy and paste it into your address bar. Are you new to the ol' computer thing? Okay, if this helps, here's the title of the video: Rooney Mara on Letterman 2011-12-14

R21 Lol what the fuck?!! Is she fully human? I half expect to next see her crawling out of a well with her hair draped over her face!

R21 At the moment she seemed like a robot getting a technical adjustment. Very weird and science fictionesque. Creepy as fuck!

Seth Rogen! I swear, he plays the same character over and over! I can't understand the appeal at all. His scripts all read like a stoner believing his ideas are greater than they really are, yet they keep letting him make movies!

Renner and Affleck are good ones - always thought Casey was a more interesting actor than Ben, even if he's a creep.

Kidman had awful plastic surgery but she's been great in a few movies - To Die For and Eyes Wide Shut especially.

Never understood Jennifer Aniston's appeal.

[quote]always thought Casey was a more interesting actor than Ben

He is. Still is. He got me to go back to a movie theatre again for the first time since BBM. I wish he'd do something again as good as Manchester.

Ben Stiller is tall, dark and handsome.

Er, wait -- sorry, he's short, ugly and grating. Absolutely charmless. I find his continuing fame baffling.

Stiller is easy to understand because of Something About Mary's nuclear success and meet the Parents. He was ambitious and a loser and had MAJOR connections.

Rooney just swallowed a frog when she was gonna say eating hot dogs .... she was uber nervous and it hit at the wrong time. So no she's not a robot.

(Plus robots have personality lol).

R30 if she's not a robot, then why did she make that clicking noise? I am now convinced she's some sort of "Her" like creation made in a lab by David Fincher.

Rooney was nervous and swallowed spit a weird way. Some of you sound like you never see people in real life.

"Rooney was nervous and swallowed spit a weird way."

You can say that again.

I don't disagree, R30, but Meet The Parents is part of the problem for me-- it's a desperately unfunny, wince-inducing bore. It's unfathomable how something both so mean-spirited and so dull became so popular, let alone spawned what? Two or three sequels?

De Niro's character was so malevolent he belonged in a different movie.

My post was meant to be directed at R22 not R21. My bad.

That fat homophobe who used to be on Parks and Rec, and then he got all buff, but still remained a homophobe.

anna ferris.......?....that Mom person........ NO.

rami malek

Olivia Colman

Daniel Craig

Either of the Wahlbergs

Matt Damon

Elle Fanning

[quote]Either of the Wahlbergs

Donnie is more than acceptable as Danny Reagan.

Marky Mark is a sign of the apocalypse. We have been in bad times since whenever he met Calvin Klein, who may be the devil himself.

I think other actors like Renner. He's like the Rudy of actor: not much of a threat but with a fighting spirit.

For me, Renner kind of looks like a testicle that has eyes and a mouth drawn on it. But that's what's hot right now, I guess.

Lady GaGa

Jennifer Hudson

Maggie Gyllenhall.

KStew Bradley Cooper Olivia Munn Liam Hemsworth Jonah Hill

G.

Most of these people are stars because of straight guys either identifying with their douchiness (Affleck, Renner, Rogen, Hill) or wanting to fuck them (Lawrence, Stone, Mara, et al).

Jennifer Lawrence. No technique, terrible accent work, unpleasant speaking voice. Her Oscar win is one of the weakest in that category.

She’s also not very pretty—big forehead, pointy chin, dead beady eyes, chipmunk cheeks, stubby nose...the list goes on and on.

She comes across as crass, ignorant, arrogant, and ungrateful for her remarkable success. She doesn’t even hide her disdain for her fans, publicly discussing how rude she is when people try to approach her in public.

Jonah Hill. He must have mega connections because he is charmless, ugly and unfunny.

Jennifer Lawrence and Brie Larson

Nobody who wasn't famous prior to the 1980s is all that compelling to me.

Jonah Hill is also a homophobe. I hate him.

Rami Malek

He’s creepy

How did Renner get all crumpled and creased? Jonah hill, Jesse Eisemberg, Adam Sandler, Michael Cera, how did these even get an audition? Jim Carrey is a mystery to me too. He's not just not funny. He unfunny.

Sean Penn. Ugly as fuck.

R55 I can't understand a word he says either.

I hate to admit it because he seemed to have so much potential at the start, but Miles Teller belongs on this list.

Cher.

Mooghan Moocain

Natasha Legero- barely a celebrity but she’s so AWFUL

Seth Rogan. Untalented. Unfunny. An eyesore. Looks like every second pudgy schmuck sitting on a park bench in New York. It’s an ascendancy of such profound second-ratedness it’s like some secret cabal of jewish mothers upvoted him. Other than that he’s adorable.

Renner is so fucking ugly. Arrival had its share of problems but he didn't make things any better, he was a charisma black hole in that film. I have to imagine he's pleasant to work with and has a good industry reputation and that is enough to carry him with decision makers because god knows I wouldn't miss him in anything.

R58 Are any of those people currently movie stars?

[quote]Jonah Hill is also a homophobe. I hate him.

I can't stand him or any of the other guys in Judd Apatow's douche crew. I vaguely recall rumors that Hill is a perv. It would be hilarious if Apatow's douche crew was exposed in addition to James Franco. I would love to see smug fake male feminist Apatow be questioned if he supports his friends. He avoids questions about Franco, but still goes on bashing other pervs.

Where is this renner jo vid link?

[quote] Gerard Butler was hot once upon a time. It was years and years ago, so i have no idea how he's kept his movie star career going so long, but he was once pretty.

I can't imagine too many people describing him as ever being pretty. His looks were hit or miss. Gerard Butler was moderately attractive on his best day. But, he had a lot of masculinity, screen presence and sex appeal. It was the combo of all those qualities that made him a movie star. He's always been a poor man's Russell Crowe. And like Crowe, he's maintained his career by sticking to "a man's man" roles.

JLaw owns this thread.

I'm going to agree with Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen.

Hopefully they're over, but they seem to be well-connected enough to keep getting work even though nobody actually likes them.

Seems like in the last several years, the studios have been absolutely forcing that fugly dyke, Cara Dela-whatever, down the public's throat. She's not only in movies, she also models, too, despite not being particularly attractive. She's dull all-around.

Leo.

Leo's early work was remarkable imo. But I cannot for the life of me understand how he's still considered a great actor. Ever since The Beach he's been the same in every single fucking movie. And everything looks painfully forced and unnatural. He still has good comedic timing, but as a dramatic actor, he makes me cringe.

I wonder what happened to him. It must have something to do with the extreme media hype after Titanic as it all went to shit after that. Maybe he became mentally ill and is drugged up to the eyeballs like Britney. He gives me seriously zombie-esque vibes in interviews.

Anyway, for reasons beyond my comprehension, a lot of people still consider him 'one of the finest actors of his generation'. Maybe it's explained by the fact that his fans seem to be mostly straight douchebro types these days. From what I know, straight men are not very good at reading emotions. So it would make sense that they have low standards when it comes to acting.

I've never seen Cara D. in anything, but she has only one single cuntish facial expression in photos. I can't even begin to imagine how badly her acting must suck.

Jason Momoa before he shaved.

Since when do actors have to be 'tall'?

Most probably lie about their height anyway.

Tom Cruise certainly isn't hurting, neither is Kevin Hart.

But as for the topic at hand, I'd say Will Ferrell, Jason Segel, Mark Wahlberg, Tobey Maguire.

Why does GQ have a hard on for Jonah Hill. Like that fat fuck is some sort of style icon?

Jonah Hill is a Hollywood Jew from a dad who was in the business. Any more questions?

Tiffany Haddish

Any of the Apatow crew...it brought a smile to my face watching Seth's latest movie bomb badly this weekend. It didn't even make 10 million.

Benedict Cumberbatch

Reese Witherspoon and her chin.

Any of Tina Fey's friends (Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, etc.)

Milo Vermicelli, or whatever his name is. He's buff but he's a pitiful actor. A male bimbo.

Rebel Wilson

Emily Blunt

Adam Driver

Meryl Streep. Snore

Lin-Manuel Miranda

Jessica Chastain, Kristen Stewart, Elizabeth Banks

Casey Affleck

Timothee Chalamet.

Amy Schumer

Another mention for pug-faced Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Jon hamm

Another vote for Ben Stiller.

Kate Hudson

Emma Robert's, Jon Hamm, Ben Stiller

Jonah Hill. Why? Fat, ugly, unfunny

R90, *of instead of for. Oops.

Olivia Colman is a damned good actress.

Adam Sandler, Breechbirth Cumberbatch, Eddie Redface, Adam Driver, Lens Dunham, dude who plays Jon Snow (not a star, but he’s so bad!), Ben Stiller, Ricky Gervais, Judi Dench, Patricia Heaton, Tim Allen, Jason Schwartzman, Jason Biggs, Dax Shepard, Mooghan McMoo.

A lot of these people aren’t stars but are famous at what they do, so that counts.

I don't get the Ryans (Gosling and Reynolds) as sex symbols. Charming enough on screen, not unattractive, but harldly sex on two legs. Do women prefer innocuous over hot these days? I like I man that looks like he's up to something, not like he could be my neighbor.

R75 I agree with you on Haddish. Her acting fucking sucks.

Ryan Gosling was a hot bitch for about 5 years, ending a few years ago already. When he tarted himself up and played a stud he looked like one. He's a prime example of how 6 and 7s can manufacture hotness through smoke and mirrors and willpower.

Brie Larson

Gosling is one of the most overrated people ever.

Mark Ruffalo owns

R75, R100 I agree but I also think she's being smart. She's not a great talent or a classic beauty but she was very big after Girls Trip. So while she has the spotlight, she's taking every damn check she can. She knows she won't be popular forever. I'd do the same thing if I were her.

Nicole Kidman! I’d love to know who her audience base is. She’s an absolutely shithouse actress except when playing calculating bitches. Other than that she’s just an white porpoise in a distracting range of wigs. But hey — the now completely irrelevant Vanity Fair LOVES HER. Yet another article about how brave (eh?), daring (eh?), and self inventing (filler addicted?) she is? Sure — why not! But in the REAL WORLD she doesn’t resonate in any way. It’s like she exists in some strange self-applauding Hollywood bubble.

Will Ferrell, Jonah Hill, and Tom Cruise all play the same character in every single movie. But then again, I think Madea is a comic genius.

Kevin Hart. I don’t get it.

She might as well be a classically trained thespian next to Jennifer homewrecker Aniston who talented, pretty, or nice, and seems to exist in a parallel universe where feminism never existed.

ISN'T any of those things, I mean.

[quote] That fat homophobe who used to be on Parks and Rec, and then he got all buff, but still remained a homophobe.

Then why'd he bother getting buff?

Amy schumer

For the first time in my life I agree with everyone here.
