Are there any famous filmstars or actor's on the TV and you just can't see how they deserve their fame, as their acting skills are appalling.

I suppose I really struggle to see the greatness of Tom Hardy. Think he’s good in a few things but massively overrated.

Meryl- who I love- is also massively overrated in my opinion. Good though but she’s no Viola.

Leo Di Caprio I think is pretty one dimensional too.

Sorry but I needed to get those off my chest.

Rebel Wilson

I've always thought high grant was good but typecast as bumbling Englishman, it's good to see he's now getting to show off his talent as an older guy.

Sorry to disagree. But will agree with Rebel Wilson.

Ben Affleck has been basking in the glory of one good film for years.

In my unknowledgeable opinion obviously. I’m saying that on watching very few films of his. But I’m sure if I gave him a handshake I’d get splinters.

I am surprised that Meryl Streep has made this list... I love her in most things and the characters she plays seem to come so naturally to her, but hey ho, that's just my opinion.

I agree with Tom Hardy and Johnny Depp. They literally seem to play the same role in every film.

I would also like to add Cillian Murphy (although I love him), as I feel like I see the same stony face all the time.

And, of course, Kristen Stewart makes the list for me as well.

Will Smith. Seems to pretty much be a variation of Fresh Prince/himself in 95% of films....then occasionally he’ll come out with something like Pursuit of Happiness, where he’s absolutely brilliant- probably because he’s forced to be someone else (ie, stories based on real people) instead of his usual guff

It was a joke duh. Gervais also has more than one successful creation.

I actually think Einstein's greatest achievement was getting into Marilyn Monroes panties. Gotta hand it to him.

The Whole celebrity thing is what I don't get. I mean a person pretends to be something they aren't and gets paid ludicrous amounts to keep doing it.

I actually got thanked the other year for treating some 'Celeb' as a normal person while they were shopping. Apparently it was someone called Messenger ????? she wasn't bad looking either tbh.
