Zack Efron. I hated him when he was an androgynous, mop-topped teenager, and I don’t hate him any less now that he’s an adult. That smug, smarmy, beady-eyed, look-how-cute-I-am face is just begging to be bashed in.
Also want to add Ed Sheeran. Jeebus, that’s a face only a mother could love. His song about the girl in his room is kinda catchy if you don’t know who’s singing it. But knowing he’s a schlubby troll whose eyes point in two different directions and who would get laughed out of a live role-playing game kinda kills it. If he ever had sex before that song came out (I’m sure he now gets plenty of poon from girls with low self-esteem) I’m the Pope.
And covering yourself with tattoos doesn’t make you cool when you look like Ronald McDonald’s bastard. (Actually, it doesn’t make anyone cool, but that’s a separate rant.)
I think of Ed Sheeran as a poorly sewn rejected Cabbage Patch doll.
I just saw a quote from him where he says he was an unfortunate looking kid and now he reckons god made up for it by giving him guitar skills. Much as I try not to dwell on a person’s looks I must admit he’s about as “unfortunate” as they come. I think he’s exceptionally talented and even his cheesy stuff is better than a lot of other (pop) stuff out there but it’s hard to picture a girl commanding him to “grab on my waist and put that body on me”. Sorry Ed :o
But again, this thread could have just as easily been titled “celebrities whose face I hate”.

Jennifer Garner. I know she was married to somebody famous and now she’s divorced, which is probably why she’s in those commercials, but nobody has inspired me to write mean tweets like she has. She might be a very nice person. I have no reason to hate her. But I do.

This is a perfect example of a celebrity whose face *I *hate. I don’t remember feeling that way several years ago when she was really popular. She’s as pretty as can be and seems perfectly nice, yet when I see those credit card commercials I have an urge to slap her. Not kill or maim or send her to the fiery depths of Hades; just a solid bitch slap across her face.
Whoopi Goldberg
I have NEVER understood the love for this woman. Talent-less hack.
Reese Witherspoon: Although I acknowledge that she was terrific in Freeway and Election, something about her just bugs me. I concluded, based on nothing, that she’s a horrible person in real life.
Later I learned that she can be difficult on the set and gives directors a lot of backtalk. I felt somewhat vindicated by that.
Neil Patrick Harris. I hate his smugness.
Shia LaBeouf
James Spader
Bradley Cooper
Smug with punchable faces.
My hatred for Zooey Deschanel is based entirely on the stupid spelling of her first name.
My hatred for Beyoncé started out as irrational but has become more rational over the years.
LaBeouf has done many things to earn punchability, though.
For more irrational reasons, I hate that his name is so corrupted (“beef” is spelled bœuf, not beouf, even boeuf is acceptable. And it’s a masculine world, so LeBoeuf).
You can blame Salinger for that one. It’s a boy.
In her early career she was a phenomenally talented writer and performer. Then she got rich and famous and got lost in her own shtick, abandoning everything that made her watchable in favor of mugging, spouting ill-informed opinions and trying to be some kind of bargain-basement Oprah.
You take that back right now. NPH is awesome. In a goofy way, admittedly, but awesome.
FTW?:
Robert DeNiro. I don’t think he’s acting, as much as being turned loose in front of a camera. He always looks like a thug. Never trust a man whose smile doesn’t touch his eyes.
Jane Lynch. She just looks like she has a hair trigger temper.
Bob Baffert. For a guy who’s famous four days per year, he sure acts like he’s king of the a-listers.
While I see while you’d think that, having met him in person a few times he’s actually pretty nice.
Everything I’ve ever read about her describes her as a warm, down-to-earth, genuinely nice, well-liked person. She’s also a heck of an actress. I’d love to see her in some dramatic roles. I think she could easily carry a movie. You probably wouldn’t want to see it, though.
I irrationally hated Meg Ryan and Renee Zellweger back when they had their original faces. Now I just feel bad for them.
That may be, but damn on race days he just looks so freaking smug.
Terrence Howard. It’s totally irrational. I think his acting is fine, nothing wrong with his looks. Maybe it’s his voice (too gravely, maybe), but when I see that he’s in a movie, I want to avoid it. When all my friends were gaga for Empire (the TV show), I avoided watching it even though one of my favorite actresses is the star of it.
Wow. Since I agree with about 80% of the people mentioned, my list seems to be much longer than I had thought.
Add one more: James Corden. Reason: he doesn’t keep his energy to himself!
Andy Dick creeps me out.
Quick question: given whom I revealed to be my age-appropriate celebrity crush, would it be considered irrational for me to say that I hate Geoffrey Arend?
My WAG? That show was successful largely because of a combination of people who still had some sort of feelings of nostalgia towards Garrett Morris, and people like me, who happen to be, uhm… well, let’s call it fascinated, with Kat Dennings.
