He's the only actor I can think of I actively boycott other than Gal Godot. Aside from his violent racism and American nationalism which is all well documented, I just absolutely loathe the type of character he likes to play; the macho snarky asshole who feels like he got kicked out of basic training and makes being a veteran his whole personality.

There's few archetypes I hate more than the "former soldier who could kill a man, harbouring some deep unnerving instinct", or the "American in a truck who loves the flag and is just a hard working guy", and somehow he always plays and glamorises both, despite not actually being either.

Pray with me.

Cool, it's already here. Me too.

He beats up Asian people for fun you know.

He reason that Gene Hackman gave up acting, also he right wing asshole.

I felt this way until I saw him in the big sick

pratt, rob machlenny, despite him making isaip, hes really super pretentious iRL which also translated to his show. watched his interviews has given over the pandemic and beond, and hes been collaborating with questionable people, luke ryan reynold and mannings, in order to mooch of people in hollywood.

He went downhill after parks and rec

essentially a nepo-actor, through his wife, and he acts like MC when it comes to roles and "surprise" hes a supporter of alt-right groups.

Every time I see his bad acting, Im just like ”why is this dude so popular and why is he landing these big roles?”

Yup. He and Ben Affleck are movie killers for me. If I see them on the trailer, I know it’s a movie I should just avoid.

I agree. The first Wonder Woman was ok, but she's so stiff in everything since.

Oh god. Snow-white's failure is mostly her fault.

He turned his back on his bandmate after said bandmate made a joke about wishing Trump got assassinated, and he condemned palestine for standing up to their oppressors. He's a shitlib at best

I think a lot of people are turning to this opinion.

We’re ahead of the curve on this one. I’ve found him annoying for decades, and now it turns out he’s kinda a shitty person, too. It always annoyed me that he was Reddit’s darling.

I think the world turned a bit on Leto after his rat-mailing phase while playing the joker. But I'd say he probably still doesn't engender as much antipathy as he should in the general populace.

Can't argue with Tom Cruise, though. Admittedly he seems like a nice guy, but the whole funding America's biggest and most dangerous cult definitely hampers that.

Jared Leto has always given me bad vibes and with what's come out about him recently it seems like those feelings were justified

Absolutely my two choices as well

This radical dualism is partly an American thing. Here on the other side of the pond, most people believe (IMO) that one can be simultaneously a "piece of shit posing as a human being" and a great actor.

I dunno why any of them act surprised, they and we are perfectly aware they know beforehand. It's wierd that they do.

From the interviews that I've seen and the accounts of people who've encountered him it seems that he's a pretty genuine guy. He knows he's not making high art and isn't pretending otherwise.

Leonardo DiCaprio. I get huge, cringy ‘imposter syndrome’ vibes from him

Exact opposite feelings here, and I generally have a hard time suspending disbelief. I remember seeing The Basketball Diaries (this was before Titanic) and being blown away by his acting. I'd say this is a rare example of an actor being held back by good looks. A lot of folks have just not wanted to admit that this particular heartthrob has genuine talent. To contrast with, for example, Keanu, or Clooney.

I can't believe I forgot about Nicolas Cage!

Nice call!

The man does not have a single molecule of acting ability anywhere within his soul.

Edit.... Holy shit, I looked up a meme I made on Digg like 20 years ago, it's somewhere out on the internet!!! Yeah I did make it lol

I don't generally have an issue with Leo but the imposter syndrome comment is on point. He does have a vibe and that description sums it up well.

I’ve never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he’s ‘acting’, and never really embodies the characters or reacts ‘in the moment’. It’s all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.

Yes! exactly. You just summed up my thinking better than I could.

Hot

He plays one character, but the character is kind of likable and funny. To me he's the definition of a popcorn flick actor.

I definitely don't think he's super talented or anything, but he's funny and charismatic at least.

WWE really pushed many stars to become hollywood actors. bautista is one that actually tries as an actor, dwayne is a movie star attention seeker, also dwayne apparently is the "ellen degeneres" of behind the scenes too.

God he's awful. He has absolutely no acting skills. I skip everything that includes him.
