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.

Keanu Reeves.
There's a difference between having positive PR & being good looking vs. being able to act.
Yeah he’s a truly awful actor. I’m amazed he’s as popular as he is. His real life training to do his own stunts for John Wick is super impressive, and I think the first movie was fine for him since he barely talked, but goddamn, any time he says anything it’s just such a chore to listen to.
The scene in the second matrix movie where Hugo Weaving comes back and confronts him has such an incredible monologue from Hugo Weaving, and then one fucking line from Keanu is just so goddamn stilted it almost ruins the whole scene. Lol

Jennifer Coolidge. She plays the same character in everything she's in, and it's a character I don't find funny at all.

Julia Roberts.
She has way too many teeth, I'm scared.
For the black & white movie days... Barbara Stanwyck. I get that in Double Indemnity she's supposed to be an evil bitch, but even in movies where she's supposed to be the one you're rooting for...she's terrible. And in one movie I saw with her I didn't even realise it was her at first and I was still like, 'This person is terrible.' and then I realised it was her.
For the modern day - being somebody born in the 80s that grew up in the 90s... Di Caprio. Even when I was a kid I was like, 'There's something off with him and I don't know it is, but there's something off....' and everybody else is going on about how amazing he is. Now at least we know that he's a predatory creep.
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.
Leonardo DiCaprio.
Always hated him. Always called him a bad actor whose idea of acting amounts to throwing on a fake accent and literally nothing else to build his characters; no mannerisms, no method, no changing his body or his face. He's just Leonardo DiCaprio with an accent every...single...time.
Before The Revenant, when everyone was complaining about him being "snubbed" by the oscars, I always thought "no...he is legitimately fucking terrible...especially when he was younger" (ie. Romeo and Juliet, Titanic, Gangs of New York years). And I thought I was taking crazy pills since everyone else seemed to adore him because of Titanic.
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.

These are the ones I know but there are others who i dislike but never learn their names. I could also probably think of more but that's more time and headspace than they deserve.
