It doesn’t have to be because they’re so ugly or because they’re accused of child molestation or have any rational basis whatever. Sometimes there are people who just sorta kinda repulse us: my mother, for example, couldn’t watch Sammy Davis Jr. because he almost made her nauseous- no real reason.
For me:
Dick Cavett- I don’t know if it’s his appearance or his voice, but he literally could make me fumble for my car keys in my own living room.
Gilbert Gottfried- cannot watch him- it’s not the voice even, it’s just “something”.
Andy Dick- freaks me out, and not in a good way.
Sandra Bernhardt- ditto.

I’ll second your Sandra Bernhardt and raise you a Courtney Love and Mickey O’Rourke.

Ha ha ha. Your mom’s funny. I don’t know why, but I find that really really funny.
Hugh Grant is gross. He grosses me out. He’s like a greased raisin. Yuck. Too much clinique for men I think.
When I was a kid I thought Robin Duke was gross as hell but as an adult I see her inner beauty and think she’s cute.

You beat me to it. I’d have to add Paris Hilton, possibly Calista Flockhart and Anna Nicole Smith on the female side.
On the male side there’s Billy Bob Thornton and Jack Nicholson.

The lead singer for the Black Crowes, whatever his name is. He’s just so skinny and greasy and generally eeeeeeeeeeee-yuck. Carrot Top, too. What happened to that guy? He was never exactly handsome, but in those phone commercials, his face has become scary ugly. Bad plastic surgery or something?

Oooh… Paris and Anna Nicole- we totally “here” on both of those. What’s odd is that of the two I actually prefer Anna Nicole- at least she whored herself to get rich rather than just getting born.
Have I mentioned that I think Paris Hilton should be deported? Just a truly disgusting individual imho.

[James Carville](http://www.carville.info/)
To quote Dennis Miller:
“James Carville, a snake oil salesman who actually looks like a snake. Is it just me or is this guy harder to watch than sausage being made?..He looks like a Muppet that was washed in ‘hot’.”

I’m not too fond of Rodney Dangerfield. Or the pope. [the one and only Vatican one, I mean]
The Baldwin brothers, Don Johnson and again Mickey O’Rourke [except in ‘Barfly’] are pretty scary as well.
Can’t see the ‘charms’ of Angelina Jolie or Uma Thurman. [sorry, guys]

I’ve always felt that he looks like the banjo playing kid from _Deliverance_, all growed up.

I was never able to watch _Seinfeld_, no matter how funny it might have been, because I found the male cast members so physically repellent.
Nice, talented fellows, all, I’m sure, but for some reason they made my stomach turn.

Another vote for Anna Nicole. I think it’s that vacant look in her little pig eyes. I.Q. of a fern.

Leonardo DiCaprio (I may have spelled that wrong, I always flee from him and that impairs my spelling skills). He is just. . . oogey.

Yeah, the first name that occured to me when I saw the thread title was Cameron Diaz. I do not understand why people think she is attractive - she resembles nothing so much as a pug dog to me.

Steven Segal - probably the beady little eyes
George Lucas, especially since his neck turned into a pumpkin. It’s really hard to watch any of the extras on the SW DVDs
Tony Curtis - too pretty in the old days, now just one hell of a creepy mother.

I’ll see **Miller’s** Julia Roberts (I can never understand why so many people find her adorable) and raise him a Cher and a Celine Dion (who by all accounts is a very nice person) and a Kathy Griffin, that annoying red-haired woman from Suddenly Susan.

Quentin Tarantino.
He’s a sick fuck, and I hate him.

Minnie Driver. She totally repusles me and I have no idea why.
