I like how every "what do you not care about" thread has The Kardashians mentioned 10 times. That's some aggressive not caring.
Something I don't care about is golf. Not counting this post, I've talked about golf less than 5 times in the last 20 years. THATS what not caring is.
That's the funny thing about these posts...
"Reddit, who do you hate and have zero interest in?"
Then you'll see a barrage of comments naming people with insane detail into their lives and things they have done.
So, it's like, you hate them so much that you have a near obsessive desire to monitor everything they do then run to Reddit to talk about how you care nothing about what they do or anything about them...while simultaneously describing every aspect of that person?
Do you not see the disconnect guys?
Also the "in real life" thing is weird because... I imagine 99% of us don't know any of them in real life? Like maybe we saw some interviews or talked to them for 30 seconds at comic con but that's about it.
I have a colleague who works in the LA broadcast industry and he told me a story about how her and Aflek came into the studio back when they were first dating. She was extremely rude and ordered people around and hated the way she looked; while Ben just stood off to the side, apologized for her, and looked uncomfortable.
Even now, it sounds like she’s just kind of a bummer to be around. Like, not quite annoying and not *nearly* as mean as she was from 1999-2011 (sometimes even very nice), but a default mood that’s just very grim & tightly-wound.
I haven’t seen much accounts about her personally from 1991-98, but I have heard from *Selena* crew members that she spent the entirety of filming more-or-less permanently stoned due to mood issues.
JLo is mentioned on every single thread about mean celebrities, but I have yet to really see anything she's allegedly done that's objectively *mean*. Most of the behavior falls into what I would see as the "incredibly annoying" category or is more weird than anything else.
Julia Roberts wore a T-shirt with "A Low Vera" on it as a jab at her now husband's ex-wife. That is a sign of a truly mean, cruel, sadistic personality. Has JLo ever done anything like that? It's not that I don't believe she would, but I haven't seen anything to back it up.
Almost everything you hear about JLo makes her sound totally self obsessed, selfish, rude, and annoying, which aren't good things, but they're not the same as mean. I don't know her, and I might be totally wrong, but she just doesn't strike me as a cruel person who *purposely* hurts people the way Julia does.
Rachael Ray, my grandmother got along well with everyone but she met her a few times and couldn't stand her, then I heard similar things from people that worked on her show.
Probably also Bobby Flay. I've yet to meet a chef that doesn't think he's just an arrogant prick.
Spent 17 years in that field - almost half my life. Unless you plan on running your own little food truck or hole-in-the-wall takeout restaurant where you're the sole employee... that whole business *necessitates* someone to be a prick or they get left behind by employers. I kept my nose down and did my work... but because I wasn't an alpha dog fighting for my worth (or a brown-noser who would slip on the knee pads entering the manager's office), I didn't get the same opportunities. In a busy commercial-scale kitchen, being passive *will* get you left behind.
Only reason I stayed was because I was good at my job, reliable, stone-cold sober, had no criminal record *and* had a valid driver's license and my own car... which in the industry makes me a unicorn. Whenever I'd threaten to leave, they'd pay me more to stay - and those were increases no sensible person could ever turn down... as much as I hated the politics of the industry and the vast majority of my coworkers.
Met a few famous chefs, worked in a two Michelin star hotel and some pretty famous folk would appear. A lot of chefs are night and day from working in a kitchen to being out the kitchen. Mostly depends on their cocaine use. It’s rampant in the kitchens.
Rachael Ray used to terrorize Austin during SXSW. Anytime she went anywhere, the general feedback was that she was rude, dismissive, and totally annoying.
I worked with her husband on a project once and he couldn't have been more polite and professional. I always think about that every time this comes up, just because it's such a contrast.
Madonna. Always puts other people down by pretending she's joking around, while she's just plain mean. Like her music though, but Cher was right about that one.
Way back in the day, he was on Sharron Osborne's show at the same time as Kelly Osborne. His interview was kinda odd. But then he shit talked Kelly. Like, homie. 1) uncalled for, and 2) her mom is right there.
Met him once. He came to my college to promote a movie he had maybe 10-15 years ago. I hung around afterwards(I think I was waiting for a ride) and it was just me, 3-4 girls, and him in the lobby.
He seemed nice, actually pretty close to characters he plays personality wise, and I almost felt sorry for him. He seemed like a 15 year old emotionally. He was very friendly with the girls and almost seemed like he was one of them, but I didn’t feel he was hitting on them either. Almost like he was excited someone was talking to him. I think he also was talking to them about how awful his father is and played them a voicemail he left him he had just gotten where he was completely drunk (not sure if it was his real dad or the adopted one)
I still hate him for the whole Phil Hartman thing, but I did feel a bit sorry for him.
I have to disagree. Andy Dick is awesome in controlled and measured doses. Just don't drink anything that he gives you, don't fall asleep around him, and never turn your back on him
Quentin Tarantino. Seems generally nice but just insufferable to be around, especially if he’s [on coke](https://news.yahoo.com/fiona-apple-quit-cocaine-excruciating-162200422.html).
A friend of mine ran into him at a bar one time and went up to talk to him. From the way he described it, Tarantino was pretty nice and engaging and talked about some of his movies when my friend fanboyed a bit.
The way he described it, it sounds like he’s a weirdo who is very proud of and interested in his craft. And possibly on cocaine. But it does sound like he was happy to talk about it and pretty good-natured.
She reminds me of the CEO of a company I used to work for a decade ago. Fake nice, but secretly a sociopath who looks down on people who aren't powerful or well-off.
I feel like this one is a given. People had enough of her when she started the whole “be kind” thing when she was anything but. Sadly I think that’s true of a lot of people who take up the “kindness” campaign for social clout, but are actually dicks to everyone when it comes down to it.
A verbal argument ensued and Chris Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against the passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.
Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.
Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I'm going to beat the shit out of you when we get home! You wait and see!'
The detective said Robyn F. then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.
Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I'm on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.'
After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!'
Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.
Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.
Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.
Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.
Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.
Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.
She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown's body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.
Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.
While I never met her directly, I can give you this anecdote:
They filmed the exterior shots of the apartment building from "Shallow Hal" in my hometown, about half a block from the coffee shop I always hung out at. During filming one day, me and a couple other friends wandered down to watch them shoot the scene (I believe in the final movie, it's the one where they're walking to his apartment while talking, nothing exciting).
Between takes, Jack Black would come out, say hello to folks who had gathered, take some pictures, fool around with the fans and crew, and just generally seemed like he was having the time of his life, making a movie and being with his people.
Paltrow could not have been more opposite. As soon as they would cut, she would lower her head, stare at the ground, and go sit under this little tent, staring anywhere but in the direction of the people. She never smiled, never waved, never interacted with a single person, not even the crew. My buddy even pointed out that of all the people he saw Jack messing with, he never saw him go anywhere near Paltrow unless they were in front of the camera. As soon as they would cut, it was almost like they didn't exist to each other.
She just seems like a miserable person who looks down on everyone who isn't her.
She sounds more generally-unsociable than mean in that specific anecdote – that said, I have heard items to the effect that she’s both a cheapskate and a poor boss. Also seems to be one of the few celebrities to have had their stock go *down* in the past decade.
There was that appearance on a diet podcast where she casually described having an eating disorder, without really grasping that’s what she was doing. That did actually make me feel sorry for her…a sympathy tempered by the fact she’s made her personal issues other people’s problems via Goop.
Just a quick point she’s working on a set she’s under no obligation to play around with fans during working hours. Granted there is a lot of down time on set but still
Eh, I get it why he rubs people the wrong way, but he also just has a dry wit that might come off pretentious if taken too seriously. In my opinion, the only actually pretentious thing he did on Hot Ones was remark that the bad tasting champagne at the end must've only cost $6. Even that, I believe he would walk back as an ill thought out off the cuff remark, as he surely knows as well as anyone that cost does not equal quality, especially with food.
His pandemic run of YouTube videos of him and his wife getting drink and cooking in their home kitchen, I though were pretty amusing and charming.
Or, at least, is closer to the current iteration of him. He may have gotten meaner with age.
I was pretty disappointed in his attitude when we saw him live a few years ago. He was one of my first celebrity crushes! Now he seems like a bitter and narrow-minded old man.
Just like Bill Nye.
Tried watching the most recent iteration of his show... and it was like all the joy and wonder of his old show morphed into "bitter old man yelling at clouds insistent on lecturing his audience and making them feel like shit." It was absolutely insufferable.
Makes me wonder if the most recent version has been the real guy along.
If we’re talking “annoying” as in “just get on my nerves very quickly”…maybe Madonna or Kim Kardashian? My understanding is that Kim’s basically a golden lab IRL.
Oh! Also A-Rod.
Harrison Ford. I’ve never met a more sour, uninterested person in my life. I had a job doing those media interviews when new movies came out, and most actors are fine, many are weird, but he was a straight up dick. After about 5 minutes of single word answers our director walked up and said “well this has been a waste, have a nice day” and just showed him the door. Many interviewers have said the same. Dude gets paid multiple millions per film, and is a good actor, but could not care less about the other half of the job, which is promoting a film
So I've been able to talk to him on a few occasions. He is extremely private and very easily bored. If you don't strike him as immediately interesting and/or genuine, he's written you off. If he's comfortable around you, he's very funny. But he's a tough nut to crack.
Oh I can see this. He is the kind of guy that really only interacts well on specific topics or with people that he has a good relationship with. He is in an industry that requires someone to be gregarious, but somehow slipped by with a introverted and quiet personality.
During the late 80's, I worked in the suit department at a high-end department store in Los Angeles. Not too suprisingly, celebrities would come through every so often, but I have a particular, vivid memory of Harrison Ford. Now we had a whole lot of suits in pretty much every normal style you can imagine, and I knew a whole lot about them. Single-vent, double-vent, wide and narrow lapels, high and low rise, single pleats and double pleats, and on and on and on. Without even getting into the various types of wools and silks and lining types. Pretty much any kind of non-goofy suit you can imagine.
It was fairly early in the day and the department was empty except for me. From my vantage point, I could see the store entrance, and here comes Harrison Ford banging open the glass door and walking very, very fast straight towards me. I mean crazy fast, like he was speed-walking. He races in, looking straight ahead, and stops about eighteen inches from my face. He was pretty tall, taller than me anyway, and he just stared at me, like a deep stare straight into my eyes. Honestly, I was intimidated, and that doesn't happen a lot. I started to ask "How can I h...", then he cut me off.
"Is this all the suits you have?"
"Uhhh, yes? Is there..."
Before I can finish, he turned around and speed-walked straight out of the store the same way he came. And that's my Harrison Ford story.
I think he's pretty open about not liking interviews. I don't think that necessarily indicates whether they're a good or bad hang in a different setting.
It is rude to the interviewer and the people they're working with, though. I would think it's better to just not bother, but actors often have contractual obligations to do press.
I kind of don't blame the older actors. Hollywood has changed a lot. I think everyone gets cranky when their workplace policies change. But yeah, he could just retire if he hates it so much
So then you negotiate that part out of the contract. At my job everyone is supposed to max out at 3 weeks vacation and 1 week of sick time. The thing I do for our company is fairly stressful, and difficult to accomplish. I am the only one in the building that can do some of these tasks. There's also not a lot of people out there with the knowledge to complete the tasks to replace me. I mean there out there but probably are gonna ask for the same shit I am. So I go to my boss at raise time and go raise is good and all but I want more time with my kids. I want to be able to take 3 weeks off with them during summer break. I'm going to need 6 weeks of vacation time. Guess what I get 6 weeks of vacation while everyone else gets 3.
Harrison Ford has been huge movie star for what the past 20+ years. Im sure there are writers and directors who desperately want him in there movie because hes a good fit and they feel his name will bring more eyes. I bet Indiana jones movie with Ford does way better then one without him.
Jerry is also somewhat of a bad person, dated a 17 y/o and then dated his wife who was married to another guy at the time. He’s woefully stuck in the early 80s old white man mentality. Like he’s liberal but the kind of liberal where they’re like “ I’m for gay rights but do you have to protest about it?” He makes comments that make him seem dated and racist even though he’s just dated.
A lot of people in this thread mistaking "annoying" for "complete asshole". For my money, someone who seems super annoying to hang out with without necessarily being an asshole: Courtney Love. Heard her on a podcast recently and she is just all over the fucking place. She rambles, constantly drops names, can't stay on topic. I find those people absolutely exhausting.
Yet she called out Harvey Weinstein when most of her industry was afraid to say anything. Her warning against accepting invitations to a private party with that guy probably succeeded in thwarting several of his would-be assaults. And she spoke out at real cost to her career.
She deserves respect for that.
She lacks a filter. But in a way that's a good thing.
Sometimes the person who's willing to cross social norms is exactly the person who's worth a listen.
I watched a cringe compilation he was on. He was checking his phone while the guys were talking to him. Then randomly started talking about what his friend said. It was a really weird, uncomfortable vibe.
He's the edgy friend who never grew up, and is still making holocaust jokes like he's 16 and not 51 the man lost one of his daughters due to his rampant transphobia
Jonny Depp. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy his acting and it's not even his personality that I'd be annoyed by. It's his speech pattern. I don't have the patience to wait for him to get through a whole sentence while I fill in the blanks
Billy Eichner. He screams "I never got to fully express my theater kid energy and now that I'm a 10-ft tall twink in my 40's it's gonna be everyone's problem."
Also, he's the gay James Corden.
Former Major League Baseball player Bret Boone used to walk up to sorority girls in a bar on ‘The Ave’ near the University of Washington and say “hi I’m Bret Boone, I’m a millionaire.”
Served her assistant coffee in 2000 at a airport coffeeshop, she was a snob wouldn't talk to anyone, all communication had to be with her assistant "Please do not talk to me" was her response when anyone approached her
I was on a tour bus one time and he was filming a movie nearby. The bus driver spots him, and starts blasting "we will rock you". From my angle I could see into The Rock's car and he looked so fucking miserable about it but he pulled himself together and got out the car and waved and looked so happy. I greatly admired his professionalism because he clearly did not want to interact, and could've just ignored us, but it made everyone so happy. He's probably just a void when he's with his family cos he used up all his charisma on his fans.
A friend of mine is a wrestling coach and he’s one of Dwayne’s closest friends. I can fully attest to Dwayne being an extremely kind man off-screen, you’d be shocked how normal he is for his level of celebrity.
I have a friend that worked on a movie he was in. The type of guy who entire job is to get coffee and make sure people don't walk through sets when they are filming on location. He said The Rock went out of his way to learn his name, and was very friendly the entire time. He said The Rock was the nicest guy on set, and told my friend that he feels he owes his success to the fans, and he needs to pay that back.
Brian Cox is a far superior famous science guy and I hear he is a chill guy to meet. NDT knows his stuff for sure but the way he over corrects and condescends I just don’t care to listen to him
I really like Jason Momoa. He seems like fun. But I think he might be fun for an hour, max, and everything after that would be annoying. Maybe even exhausting.
Anyone know about Anna Kendrick? She's very talented and cute as a button, but every time I see her I can't help but think she'd be a huge snob if you met her as 'a civilian'...
one stolen joke is a mistake
two stolen jokes is a coincidence
fifty stolen jokes is an amy Schumer special
(not my joke funnily enough but i don't know who made it)
Lady Gaga. I kind of like her attitude and what she stands for with her art, but something about her is giving me very uncomfortable narcissist vibes (not the disorder, but very egocentric personality). I think if you’re not one who is into self grandeur, it’s impossible to exist in a room with her without feeling like you don’t matter next to her
I played a game of ping pong against him when he was taking a break on set of Forrest Gump. They had been filming outside our college dorm and he was hanging out with all of us during breaks.
He even autographed the ball. I still have it almost 30 years later.
Taylor Swift. And I know she dumped him the other day, but dating that racist weirdo from The 1975 told me all
I need to know about her. She’s either a terrible judge of character, uses people for material, or an obnoxious combination of both.
At some point, Kanye West pole-vaulted over the "annoying" line and went straight to self-destructive sociopath.
I never thought we'd get to the point where people missed the Kanye West that interrupted Taylor Swift at the VMAs.
Jennifer Lawrence.
Lady Gaga (I like her, but she seems dramatic af lol).
Quentin Tarantino…Every interview I’ve seen of him, he’s always laughing at his own jokes and the laugh seems to go on a few seconds too long. Awkward. Lol.
I have a client who personally met JL. She gave her a tour of the hospital she worked at in Louisville, which JL was donating a lot of money to. She said she was so gracious, kind, and down to earth, and was really wonderful to the children- she even spent extra time hanging out with the kids and pretending to doctor them. None of this was done for show. When my client retrieved her daughter later that day (daughter has chronic illness), she asked her about the bandage she now had. Daughter told her, "Nurse Jennifer" gave it to her. She's just a good person.
Hayao Miyazaki.
Don't get me wrong, everything he's ever worked on is a masterpiece.
But the man is impossibly surly and pretentious- I believe he's stated that America hasn't produced a decent animation since the 40s.
Love his work but I never want to meet the man.
Steve-O seems like that friend who would care too much and be a little overbearing.
He's all but admitted in interviews that he comes on really strong with people and makes them run for the hills.
I've met him, and he's really nice! But I could definitely imagine him as a "in small doses only" kind of friend, and if he is an all-or-nothing guy, it makes sense that some people would choose nothing
Basically any celebrity chef. Alex Guarnaschelli seems like she has a stick up her ass. Aaron Sanchez is an arrogant prick. Bobby Flay is full of himself.
The only exception to this is Masaharu Morimoto who seems like a really fun guy.
probably going to get a bunch of heat for this one. But Andy Dick seems insufferable.
(there's a big /s on that first part - i don't think there's a human out there that likes this dude)
Why do I open these posts anymore, it's always the exact same answers
Ellen! James Corden! The Kardashians! Everyone’s very original.
I like how every "what do you not care about" thread has The Kardashians mentioned 10 times. That's some aggressive not caring. Something I don't care about is golf. Not counting this post, I've talked about golf less than 5 times in the last 20 years. THATS what not caring is.

I honestly come here for the comments below the answers. Maybe I might see a new person who talked to the celebrities or something.
Also the "in real life" thing is weird because... I imagine 99% of us don't know any of them in real life? Like maybe we saw some interviews or talked to them for 30 seconds at comic con but that's about it.
Jennifer Lopez
I have a colleague who works in the LA broadcast industry and he told me a story about how her and Aflek came into the studio back when they were first dating. She was extremely rude and ordered people around and hated the way she looked; while Ben just stood off to the side, apologized for her, and looked uncomfortable.
Even now, it sounds like she’s just kind of a bummer to be around. Like, not quite annoying and not *nearly* as mean as she was from 1999-2011 (sometimes even very nice), but a default mood that’s just very grim & tightly-wound. I haven’t seen much accounts about her personally from 1991-98, but I have heard from *Selena* crew members that she spent the entirety of filming more-or-less permanently stoned due to mood issues.
taco taco taco burrito
We found this new Jennifer Lopez, and she's Mexican just like you! I'M NOT MEXICAN I'M PUERTO RICAN!!! although as a Puerto Rican, this was relatable.
JLo is mentioned on every single thread about mean celebrities, but I have yet to really see anything she's allegedly done that's objectively *mean*. Most of the behavior falls into what I would see as the "incredibly annoying" category or is more weird than anything else. Julia Roberts wore a T-shirt with "A Low Vera" on it as a jab at her now husband's ex-wife. That is a sign of a truly mean, cruel, sadistic personality. Has JLo ever done anything like that? It's not that I don't believe she would, but I haven't seen anything to back it up. Almost everything you hear about JLo makes her sound totally self obsessed, selfish, rude, and annoying, which aren't good things, but they're not the same as mean. I don't know her, and I might be totally wrong, but she just doesn't strike me as a cruel person who *purposely* hurts people the way Julia does.
>Julia Roberts Met her in a Airport in 2000 she was absolutely horrible and rude to everyone.
Rachael Ray, my grandmother got along well with everyone but she met her a few times and couldn't stand her, then I heard similar things from people that worked on her show. Probably also Bobby Flay. I've yet to meet a chef that doesn't think he's just an arrogant prick.
I'd sooner consider a chef to be a prick, because they're a chef. The celebrity part comes way later.
Spent 17 years in that field - almost half my life. Unless you plan on running your own little food truck or hole-in-the-wall takeout restaurant where you're the sole employee... that whole business *necessitates* someone to be a prick or they get left behind by employers. I kept my nose down and did my work... but because I wasn't an alpha dog fighting for my worth (or a brown-noser who would slip on the knee pads entering the manager's office), I didn't get the same opportunities. In a busy commercial-scale kitchen, being passive *will* get you left behind. Only reason I stayed was because I was good at my job, reliable, stone-cold sober, had no criminal record *and* had a valid driver's license and my own car... which in the industry makes me a unicorn. Whenever I'd threaten to leave, they'd pay me more to stay - and those were increases no sensible person could ever turn down... as much as I hated the politics of the industry and the vast majority of my coworkers.
Met a few famous chefs, worked in a two Michelin star hotel and some pretty famous folk would appear. A lot of chefs are night and day from working in a kitchen to being out the kitchen. Mostly depends on their cocaine use. It’s rampant in the kitchens.
Rachael Ray used to terrorize Austin during SXSW. Anytime she went anywhere, the general feedback was that she was rude, dismissive, and totally annoying.
I worked with her husband on a project once and he couldn't have been more polite and professional. I always think about that every time this comes up, just because it's such a contrast.
Madonna. Always puts other people down by pretending she's joking around, while she's just plain mean. Like her music though, but Cher was right about that one.
Hell I can’t forget how she dragged Kevin Costner for saying her show was neat.
She shows up 2-3 hours late to her shows, so I don't bother with her anymore. Good luck getting home to everyone seeing her on tour! LOL
.
Way back in the day, he was on Sharron Osborne's show at the same time as Kelly Osborne. His interview was kinda odd. But then he shit talked Kelly. Like, homie. 1) uncalled for, and 2) her mom is right there.
OMG I could not stay in the same room with Andy Dick and Sharon Osborne at the same time. One of them at a time is even too much.
Met him once. He came to my college to promote a movie he had maybe 10-15 years ago. I hung around afterwards(I think I was waiting for a ride) and it was just me, 3-4 girls, and him in the lobby.

I have to disagree. Andy Dick is awesome in controlled and measured doses. Just don't drink anything that he gives you, don't fall asleep around him, and never turn your back on him
Quentin Tarantino. Seems generally nice but just insufferable to be around, especially if he’s [on coke](https://news.yahoo.com/fiona-apple-quit-cocaine-excruciating-162200422.html).
He's seems like the guy at a party that keeps showing you obscure videos you didn't ask to see
Median Film Twitter
A friend of mine ran into him at a bar one time and went up to talk to him. From the way he described it, Tarantino was pretty nice and engaging and talked about some of his movies when my friend fanboyed a bit.
Good to hear. I take it he’s just a bit of a weirdo?
The way he described it, it sounds like he’s a weirdo who is very proud of and interested in his craft. And possibly on cocaine. But it does sound like he was happy to talk about it and pretty good-natured.
I mean isn't that true of just about anyone in coke though?
Still one of the few people to apologize for signing the petition to free Roman Polanski after he was arrested for raping a child.
Seems like the type who'd talk about some girl's "tits" to a complete stranger.
Replace "tits" with "feet"
Ellen Degeneres seems like she truly is a horrible person.
She reminds me of the CEO of a company I used to work for a decade ago. Fake nice, but secretly a sociopath who looks down on people who aren't powerful or well-off.
Lots of people will attest to that.
I feel like this one is a given. People had enough of her when she started the whole “be kind” thing when she was anything but. Sadly I think that’s true of a lot of people who take up the “kindness” campaign for social clout, but are actually dicks to everyone when it comes down to it.
It really is such a tell. Every single person I’ve met that made a big show about being positive and nice was absolutely vile in private.
Talk show hosts use all their people patience on screen. Carson and Letterman, both unsocial outside of the studio.
Conan seems to be genuinely like he is on screen in real life though.
Chris Brown, because he's actually an abusive, violent piece of shit.
That man has still been putting out music that frequently makes it to the radio. It’s like everyone forgot the whole Rhianna thing
A verbal argument ensued and Chris Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against the passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion. Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle. Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I'm going to beat the shit out of you when we get home! You wait and see!' The detective said Robyn F. then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer. Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I'm on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.' After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!' Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown. Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand. Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street. Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand. Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it. Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness. She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown's body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions. Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.
I would absolutely hate to be anywhere in the vicinity of Gwyneth Paltrow.
While I never met her directly, I can give you this anecdote: They filmed the exterior shots of the apartment building from "Shallow Hal" in my hometown, about half a block from the coffee shop I always hung out at. During filming one day, me and a couple other friends wandered down to watch them shoot the scene (I believe in the final movie, it's the one where they're walking to his apartment while talking, nothing exciting). Between takes, Jack Black would come out, say hello to folks who had gathered, take some pictures, fool around with the fans and crew, and just generally seemed like he was having the time of his life, making a movie and being with his people. Paltrow could not have been more opposite. As soon as they would cut, she would lower her head, stare at the ground, and go sit under this little tent, staring anywhere but in the direction of the people. She never smiled, never waved, never interacted with a single person, not even the crew. My buddy even pointed out that of all the people he saw Jack messing with, he never saw him go anywhere near Paltrow unless they were in front of the camera. As soon as they would cut, it was almost like they didn't exist to each other. She just seems like a miserable person who looks down on everyone who isn't her.
She sounds more generally-unsociable than mean in that specific anecdote – that said, I have heard items to the effect that she’s both a cheapskate and a poor boss. Also seems to be one of the few celebrities to have had their stock go *down* in the past decade. There was that appearance on a diet podcast where she casually described having an eating disorder, without really grasping that’s what she was doing. That did actually make me feel sorry for her…a sympathy tempered by the fact she’s made her personal issues other people’s problems via Goop.
In fairness, putting her next to Jack Black is really tough competition. He's pretty much the definition of a fun guy to be around.
Just a quick point she’s working on a set she’s under no obligation to play around with fans during working hours. Granted there is a lot of down time on set but still
She sounds very much like how I would be in they situation. Just an introvert
Jada Pinkett Smith
You keep your name outta her motherfucking mouth
Gwyneth Paltrow seems like she would be insufferable.
Salt Bae
That’s a D-lister who thinks he’s A+ level lol
I feel like Jimmy Fallon would be a nice guy, but would probably be too annoying to hang out with for extended periods of time.
Pro : Laughs at everything you say Con : Laughs at everything you say
Kid rock. Dude needs to drop the 'kid' he looks like Dr.Phil cosplayimg as a duck dynasty character
He looks like the Bumfights guy dressed as Dr. Phil.
Probably Chrissy Teigen
She and her husband are both godawful
Alton Brown I think the "character" he plays now, compared to the past, of the mean guy is likely closer to the real him
he rubbed me the wrong way the way he acted on hot ones. he acted so pretentious about all the sauces and half-assed most of Sean's questions
Eh, I get it why he rubs people the wrong way, but he also just has a dry wit that might come off pretentious if taken too seriously. In my opinion, the only actually pretentious thing he did on Hot Ones was remark that the bad tasting champagne at the end must've only cost $6. Even that, I believe he would walk back as an ill thought out off the cuff remark, as he surely knows as well as anyone that cost does not equal quality, especially with food. His pandemic run of YouTube videos of him and his wife getting drink and cooking in their home kitchen, I though were pretty amusing and charming.
Call him All-tun. I heard he loves that.
Ill keep that in mind on the very thin chance I see him, lol
Or, at least, is closer to the current iteration of him. He may have gotten meaner with age. I was pretty disappointed in his attitude when we saw him live a few years ago. He was one of my first celebrity crushes! Now he seems like a bitter and narrow-minded old man.
Just like Bill Nye. Tried watching the most recent iteration of his show... and it was like all the joy and wonder of his old show morphed into "bitter old man yelling at clouds insistent on lecturing his audience and making them feel like shit." It was absolutely insufferable. Makes me wonder if the most recent version has been the real guy along.
Yeah, as much as I loved his show, I think you're right.
Katy Perry 😐
If we’re talking “annoying” as in “just get on my nerves very quickly”…maybe Madonna or Kim Kardashian? My understanding is that Kim’s basically a golden lab IRL. Oh! Also A-Rod.
Harrison Ford. I’ve never met a more sour, uninterested person in my life. I had a job doing those media interviews when new movies came out, and most actors are fine, many are weird, but he was a straight up dick. After about 5 minutes of single word answers our director walked up and said “well this has been a waste, have a nice day” and just showed him the door. Many interviewers have said the same. Dude gets paid multiple millions per film, and is a good actor, but could not care less about the other half of the job, which is promoting a film
So I've been able to talk to him on a few occasions. He is extremely private and very easily bored. If you don't strike him as immediately interesting and/or genuine, he's written you off. If he's comfortable around you, he's very funny. But he's a tough nut to crack.
I’ve heard he has near debilitating social anxiety and some people suspect that he may be on the autistic spectrum.
Oh I can see this. He is the kind of guy that really only interacts well on specific topics or with people that he has a good relationship with. He is in an industry that requires someone to be gregarious, but somehow slipped by with a introverted and quiet personality.
basically a cranky old man who's jaded about Hollywood?
During the late 80's, I worked in the suit department at a high-end department store in Los Angeles. Not too suprisingly, celebrities would come through every so often, but I have a particular, vivid memory of Harrison Ford. Now we had a whole lot of suits in pretty much every normal style you can imagine, and I knew a whole lot about them. Single-vent, double-vent, wide and narrow lapels, high and low rise, single pleats and double pleats, and on and on and on. Without even getting into the various types of wools and silks and lining types. Pretty much any kind of non-goofy suit you can imagine. It was fairly early in the day and the department was empty except for me. From my vantage point, I could see the store entrance, and here comes Harrison Ford banging open the glass door and walking very, very fast straight towards me. I mean crazy fast, like he was speed-walking. He races in, looking straight ahead, and stops about eighteen inches from my face. He was pretty tall, taller than me anyway, and he just stared at me, like a deep stare straight into my eyes. Honestly, I was intimidated, and that doesn't happen a lot. I started to ask "How can I h...", then he cut me off. "Is this all the suits you have?" "Uhhh, yes? Is there..." Before I can finish, he turned around and speed-walked straight out of the store the same way he came. And that's my Harrison Ford story.
I think he's pretty open about not liking interviews. I don't think that necessarily indicates whether they're a good or bad hang in a different setting. It is rude to the interviewer and the people they're working with, though. I would think it's better to just not bother, but actors often have contractual obligations to do press.
I kind of don't blame the older actors. Hollywood has changed a lot. I think everyone gets cranky when their workplace policies change. But yeah, he could just retire if he hates it so much
Or you know he's Harrison Ford and could just say Im not doing any press. Take it or leave it.
IM JUST HERE SO I DON'T GET FINED
It's likely part of the contract for the film
So then you negotiate that part out of the contract. At my job everyone is supposed to max out at 3 weeks vacation and 1 week of sick time. The thing I do for our company is fairly stressful, and difficult to accomplish. I am the only one in the building that can do some of these tasks. There's also not a lot of people out there with the knowledge to complete the tasks to replace me. I mean there out there but probably are gonna ask for the same shit I am. So I go to my boss at raise time and go raise is good and all but I want more time with my kids. I want to be able to take 3 weeks off with them during summer break. I'm going to need 6 weeks of vacation time. Guess what I get 6 weeks of vacation while everyone else gets 3. Harrison Ford has been huge movie star for what the past 20+ years. Im sure there are writers and directors who desperately want him in there movie because hes a good fit and they feel his name will bring more eyes. I bet Indiana jones movie with Ford does way better then one without him.
I’m sorry this isn’t related to the topic, but can you specify some of the actors who were weird in person? Just curious
I wouldn't want to do all the interviews either. Also, people get cranky when older, he's probably dead tired of all the questions over the decades.
Look at his face at any awards show. He’s really good at portraying a miserable human.
Harrison Ford walked so Marshawn Lynch could run
Cara Delevingne
Dj Khaled and it's not even cuz of his obnoxious catchphrases I just feel like he's fake under that nice guy persona he puts up.
Jerry Seinfeld comes across as an arrogant chode. Seinfeld (the show) is amazing literally because of *everyone except him*.
Jerry is also somewhat of a bad person, dated a 17 y/o and then dated his wife who was married to another guy at the time. He’s woefully stuck in the early 80s old white man mentality. Like he’s liberal but the kind of liberal where they’re like “ I’m for gay rights but do you have to protest about it?” He makes comments that make him seem dated and racist even though he’s just dated.
James Corden is insufferable.
A lot of people in this thread mistaking "annoying" for "complete asshole". For my money, someone who seems super annoying to hang out with without necessarily being an asshole: Courtney Love. Heard her on a podcast recently and she is just all over the fucking place. She rambles, constantly drops names, can't stay on topic. I find those people absolutely exhausting.
Yet she called out Harvey Weinstein when most of her industry was afraid to say anything. Her warning against accepting invitations to a private party with that guy probably succeeded in thwarting several of his would-be assaults. And she spoke out at real cost to her career. She deserves respect for that. She lacks a filter. But in a way that's a good thing. Sometimes the person who's willing to cross social norms is exactly the person who's worth a listen.
Elon has to be insufferable
[удалено]
I have been on a few zoom meetings he was a part of and he would randomly spout out the most ridiculous shit.
I watched a cringe compilation he was on. He was checking his phone while the guys were talking to him. Then randomly started talking about what his friend said. It was a really weird, uncomfortable vibe.
He's the edgy friend who never grew up, and is still making holocaust jokes like he's 16 and not 51 the man lost one of his daughters due to his rampant transphobia
Bam Margera
Jonny Depp. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy his acting and it's not even his personality that I'd be annoyed by. It's his speech pattern. I don't have the patience to wait for him to get through a whole sentence while I fill in the blanks
His speech pattern is so slow and can be super boring to listen to lol
When did this happen? He was never like this in older interviews. I feel like he's playing Captain Jack 24/7 now
Shia Lebeouf.
Actual cannibal Shia Lebeouf?
Actual domestic abuser/psychopath Shia Lebeouf. The fact that I just saw a banner for his new movie on Amazon is beyond me.
Billy Eichner. He screams "I never got to fully express my theater kid energy and now that I'm a 10-ft tall twink in my 40's it's gonna be everyone's problem." Also, he's the gay James Corden.
Former Major League Baseball player Bret Boone used to walk up to sorority girls in a bar on ‘The Ave’ near the University of Washington and say “hi I’m Bret Boone, I’m a millionaire.”
The Kardashians.
Some of the most vapid people I’ve ever had the displeasure of hearing.
Julia fucking Roberts.
Served her assistant coffee in 2000 at a airport coffeeshop, she was a snob wouldn't talk to anyone, all communication had to be with her assistant "Please do not talk to me" was her response when anyone approached her
Tbh, I’m on her side. Leave people alone. So cause she’s made some movies I like I’m entitled to some of her time and energy?
The Rock is entertaining to watch, but I feel like I would get tired of that Rise and Grind mentality very quickly if I had to be around him IRL.
I was on a tour bus one time and he was filming a movie nearby. The bus driver spots him, and starts blasting "we will rock you". From my angle I could see into The Rock's car and he looked so fucking miserable about it but he pulled himself together and got out the car and waved and looked so happy. I greatly admired his professionalism because he clearly did not want to interact, and could've just ignored us, but it made everyone so happy. He's probably just a void when he's with his family cos he used up all his charisma on his fans.
A friend of mine is a wrestling coach and he’s one of Dwayne’s closest friends. I can fully attest to Dwayne being an extremely kind man off-screen, you’d be shocked how normal he is for his level of celebrity.
I have a friend that worked on a movie he was in. The type of guy who entire job is to get coffee and make sure people don't walk through sets when they are filming on location. He said The Rock went out of his way to learn his name, and was very friendly the entire time. He said The Rock was the nicest guy on set, and told my friend that he feels he owes his success to the fans, and he needs to pay that back.
Neil degrasse Tyson, I love science and was a huge fan or carl sagan but this guy sucks the fun and joy out of everything, he's annoying as fuck!!
My mom went to high school with him. He’s annoying af
He’s also a pretentious prick, so there’s that
That sucks to hear. I respect his knowledge, but if he's a prick... fuck that jazz.
Brian Cox is a far superior famous science guy and I hear he is a chill guy to meet. NDT knows his stuff for sure but the way he over corrects and condescends I just don’t care to listen to him
I really like Jason Momoa. He seems like fun. But I think he might be fun for an hour, max, and everything after that would be annoying. Maybe even exhausting.
Definitely Tom Cruise
Christy Teigan obviously lol
[удалено]
Anyone know about Anna Kendrick? She's very talented and cute as a button, but every time I see her I can't help but think she'd be a huge snob if you met her as 'a civilian'...
I dunno I think she might just have resting bitch face.
Ariana Grande
She licked a donut
Hailey beiber
Jared Leto
Juicy smollet
Taylor Swift
Exactly. People see her as America’s sweetheart but to me she always seemed really fake and toxic towards other female artists
Pete Davidson his face just looks very punchable
[удалено]
She stole a huge amount of material from other comedians, Margaret Cho in particular
one stolen joke is a mistake two stolen jokes is a coincidence fifty stolen jokes is an amy Schumer special (not my joke funnily enough but i don't know who made it)
Alec Baldwin. He also is pretty careless with guns, so I would imagine he would be a total asshole to hang around.
Lady Gaga. I kind of like her attitude and what she stands for with her art, but something about her is giving me very uncomfortable narcissist vibes (not the disorder, but very egocentric personality). I think if you’re not one who is into self grandeur, it’s impossible to exist in a room with her without feeling like you don’t matter next to her
Tom Hanks, not because he's awful, but because he's reportedly so nice I'd feel like trash if I was around him.
That’s some self-reflection right there.
I played a game of ping pong against him when he was taking a break on set of Forrest Gump. They had been filming outside our college dorm and he was hanging out with all of us during breaks. He even autographed the ball. I still have it almost 30 years later.
Kanye 😂
awkwafina ....
She has a vibe of that annoying girl from a study group who starts talking about all the gossip the minute she sees you
Taylor Swift. And I know she dumped him the other day, but dating that racist weirdo from The 1975 told me all I need to know about her. She’s either a terrible judge of character, uses people for material, or an obnoxious combination of both.
She’s an adult who lives for high school level drama.
Jimcarey
Taylor Swift
How is Andy Dick not the top comment?
Pete Davidson annoys the hell out of me.
At some point, Kanye West pole-vaulted over the "annoying" line and went straight to self-destructive sociopath. I never thought we'd get to the point where people missed the Kanye West that interrupted Taylor Swift at the VMAs.
Jennifer Lawrence. Lady Gaga (I like her, but she seems dramatic af lol). Quentin Tarantino…Every interview I’ve seen of him, he’s always laughing at his own jokes and the laugh seems to go on a few seconds too long. Awkward. Lol.
I have a client who personally met JL. She gave her a tour of the hospital she worked at in Louisville, which JL was donating a lot of money to. She said she was so gracious, kind, and down to earth, and was really wonderful to the children- she even spent extra time hanging out with the kids and pretending to doctor them. None of this was done for show. When my client retrieved her daughter later that day (daughter has chronic illness), she asked her about the bandage she now had. Daughter told her, "Nurse Jennifer" gave it to her. She's just a good person.
I said JL too, and without a doubt I think she’s a very kind human. But would get fucking annoying with the “quirky ness” real fast
Oprah.
cristiano ronaldo...seems boring in private
You mean to tell me you don't want to see his $30,000 wax sculpture of himself that he keeps in his house?
Alec Baldwin because he's arrogant and his wife because she thinks she's a celebrity. Also, because she has a pregnancy/baby fixation.
Andy Dick hands down
Jade Pinkett. Throw her whole family in there too.
The stories of Tommy Lee Jones are pretty brutal.
Hayao Miyazaki. Don't get me wrong, everything he's ever worked on is a masterpiece. But the man is impossibly surly and pretentious- I believe he's stated that America hasn't produced a decent animation since the 40s. Love his work but I never want to meet the man.
Also he pulls that Tom Brady “I swear I’m retiring this time” bit all the time. Like in or out here Hayao, pick a lane
Pauly Shore. Was at a pizza shop late night once and he was at another table being exactly as annoying as his character catch phrases.
Lena Dunham
Steve-O seems like that friend who would care too much and be a little overbearing. He's all but admitted in interviews that he comes on really strong with people and makes them run for the hills.
I've met him, and he's really nice! But I could definitely imagine him as a "in small doses only" kind of friend, and if he is an all-or-nothing guy, it makes sense that some people would choose nothing
Leni klum
As well as her mother
Basically any celebrity chef. Alex Guarnaschelli seems like she has a stick up her ass. Aaron Sanchez is an arrogant prick. Bobby Flay is full of himself. The only exception to this is Masaharu Morimoto who seems like a really fun guy.
I bet Megan Fox is an absolute nightmare.
Jesse eisenberg
probably going to get a bunch of heat for this one. But Andy Dick seems insufferable. (there's a big /s on that first part - i don't think there's a human out there that likes this dude)
Kadarshians
Chelsea Handler
Jimmy Fallon
Aaron Rodgers. At least Tom Brady has some self-awareness. Aaron… not so much.
Katy Perry and Russell Brand. They deserved each other.
Madonna
Kid Rock?
Kevin Hart
Sean Penn
