I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise either, but I love Edge of Tomorrow. That might be my only exception

Kevin Hart- doesn't act, plays himself but doesn't lean into that like Ryan Reynolds does. Will Smith- more of the above in recent years Jonah Hill- something inside me screams asshole every time I look at him Tom Cruise- he can take his propaganda elsewhere.

Hugh Grant. I'm sure he's both a wonderful person and a great actor, but... he seems to have gotten typecast into a certain type of movie that I just cannot stand. He's become a litmus test for movies I should just not bother watching.
Try Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I love Hugh in that movie and I’m not really a Hugh Grant guy either.

I’d recommend watching Heretic. I thought he crushed it as a bad guy. I also liked him in The Gentleman. Both are far from his Notting Hill and Two Weeks Notice romcom type stuff.
Henry Cavill. I've got nothing against him, I just can't stand his face.

Tom Cruise
This. I'm sure Mission Impossible series are entertaining action movies, but I really can't stand looking at his smug face.

Mel Gibson.
I renamed my cat because of this guy. I don't really like to change animals names from what it was at the shelter in case they're used to it, and I have a cat named Mel, who I suspect was named for him because there was another nearby cat in the shelter he came from named "Gibson".
So I've renamed him after Mel Brooks.

I’m sad that I like a film of him, 'We were soldiers'.
But I like the film because my dad took me to the cinema to see it, not because of the film itself.
Childhood’s trauma stuff and shits, that’s how it is and too bad it’s a Mel Gibson movie 🤷🏻♂️

Absolutely. Take your bigoted self and go away Mel.
This is the first one I agree with. Everybody else, they've had good ones, and they've had bad ones, but their name alone doesn't ruin anything for me.
I've heard there's some weird stuff around Leto, so that might be worth avoiding him, but I never really paid attention, and I don't think about that guy at all.

I just can’t believe he asked Winona Ryder if she was an “oven dodger.” Wtf
Kevin Hart
Ryan Reynolds (other than Deadpool)
Will Smith, after that slapping Chris Rock nonsense
Oh and (am Asian and tried to give her a chance but) Akwafina makes me cringe
Honorable mention: Adam Sandler makes me very wary. I get that he likes making movies with friends, but goddang his lows are low. Although recently I thought Uncut Gems was good
I +1 that Will Smith sentiment.
I feel like a hypocrite somewhat, since I'm aware of other actors who did far worse things and yet I'm not as put off in a similar manner. I guess it's easier to separate the art from the artist in some people more than others...
He was great in action/comedy big blockbuster flicks but that Oscar slap made him super insecure and uncool. Like he lost his swag. Will Smith doesn’t sell that he’s That Guy anymore
Holy shit idk how I forgot to mention Kevin Hart!

Jared Leto
I think he nailed the character in Bladerunner 2049, but maybe it suited him so it worked.
All credit goes to the director, as Denis gets top notch performances from every single person in his films.
It probably helped that he had a relatively minor role in it too. The face of his faction of characters in the film was Luv
