30 Beloved Celebrities People Actually Don't Like

We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which popular celebrities give them bad vibes. Some of the responses are pretty funny, some make A LOT of sense, and others are low-key upsetting (and I can't help but get a little defensive over the celebs I personally like). So yeah, it's about to get a little controversial in here. Let's see if you agree with these hot takes.1. "Post-Parks and Recreation Chris Pratt. Once he got into the action star roles, something was missing. It seems like he's got a huge ego, but tries to play it off like he’s still the same guy he always was. The goofy, screw-up thing worked in the past, but now, it’s like he’s still trying to do that while taking himself too seriously, and it just doesn’t land."

I like to think I'm a pretty good judge of character, and something about her just doesn't sit right with me."

Albert L. Ortega / Getty Images3. "Liam Hemsworth. Can't explain why. Like, I totally agree he's very good-looking and all, but at the same time, I'd hate to be stuck in a car with him for a long trip."

4. "Bobby Flay. Every Food Network fan I talk to seems to worship the potato peels he leaves behind, but personally, I find him arrogant and completely unlikable. He comes off as the type of celebrity that would walk if his name wasn't big enough on a benefit poster or if he wasn't promised a win in a cooking battle for charity."

Bennett Raglin / Getty Images5. "I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate for this, but...Mindy Kaling. Every character she plays/writes seems to be an insufferable person, e.g. Kelly Kapoor, Mindy Lahiri, and Devi Vishwakumar."
—masm2
PG/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Images6. "Neil Patrick Harris strikes me as pretty holier-than-thou. I have not and will not forgive him for the Amy Winehouse cake, nor the way he treated Rachel Bloom when he absolutely should have known better. I just get icky vibes from him."
—dahliaparts
Jamie McCarthy / Getty Images7. "Tom Brady. Sure, he was a great quarterback, but I get creepy vibes up and down my spine when I see pictures or video of him. I just don't get a nice feeling when I look at him, and I don't know why."
—Anonymous
Ethan Miller / Getty Images8. "For me, it's Henry Cavill. I used to like him a lot, and he is the best Superman, but for some reason, these past few years, I have started to feel like he's not that great behind the scenes. IDK, it's just a feeling."
—sweathess
Gilbert Flores / Getty Images9. "Miles Teller. He got into that fight in Hawaii, refused to get the COVID vaccine, and then, surprise, got COVID and shut down the set of a movie because of it. Also, the mustache doesn't help either. He gives off frat bro vibes."
—sambro777
Lionel Hahn / Getty Images10. "Chris Evans. I think he has an amazing PR team working on his behalf."

11. "Beyoncé. I'm sorry, but since breaking away from Destiny's Child, I've had zero desire to hear her music. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate her stuff — I just don't care for it. Yes, her songs are catchy. But, by choice, I have no interest in hearing her music. It doesn't have the same heart behind it that it did when she was part of a group. Now, it's more of a money-driven enterprise than an artistic sound. I don't dislike her, and I don't have an opinion on her as a person, but as a musician, I'm rather sad she went for quantity rather than quality. That's all."
—Anonymous
Kevin Winter / Getty Images12. "Definitely all the Kardashians/Jenners and also Kanye 'Ye' West, but thankfully, most people realize how awful he is now. I’ll never understand how he still has fans."
—kielilougheedj
Daniele Venturelli / Getty Images13. "Tom Cruise. He has gotten increasingly creepy over the years (especially when it comes to his romantic life and Scientology beliefs), but people still love him and go to his movies in droves. I just don't get it."
—gwinevere
Clive Mason / Getty Images14. "Jennifer Lawrence's 'one of the boys' schtick feels like it was cultured in a lab to be the antithesis to Taylor Swift's hyper-controlled public persona. It's born from the same thought process that gives rise to a certain breed of politician (on both sides of the aisle, though most movie stars would hate being compared to the, erm, most prominent example)."
—dingospleen
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Images15. "Ryan Reynolds. I know! I’m sorry! There’s just something about him that feels disingenuous."

16. "Taylor Swift! By all accounts, she's a lovely person. But I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop — someone to say she bullied them or cheated them out of money. There's something nefarious, for sure!"
—Anonymous
Tommaso Boddi / Getty Images17. "He's more just annoying to me than unsettling, but Harry Styles. I’m sick of seeing him everywhere and hearing about him, and I don’t get the hype at all. His music is mediocre, and I’m sure he’s a decent guy, but he just doesn’t appeal to me whatsoever, and I find him really overrated."

Kevin Winter / Getty Images18. "Julia Fox!!!!! Why are people pushing her towards stardom? I think you can just feel the combination of dumbness, willingness to do anything for fame and deviousness in her character."
—pinkypanther15
Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty Images19. "Oprah. Completely fake and out-of-touch."
—Anonymous
Jon Kopaloff / Getty Images20. "Drake. His vibes are RANCID. His lyrics sound like the kind of stuff I wrote in my diary in fifth grade, and it’s so full of red flags that I can’t imagine why anyone would want a relationship with him. He comes across as a whiny, crybaby man-child. It’s baffling to me."
—Anonymous
Prince Williams / Getty Images21. "Mariah Carey. Bad vibes. She has a diva persona, and it seems like she shades a lot of people and cannot get along with anyone (ex. her feud with Nicki Minaj on American Idol)."

22. "Jim Carrey. Something about him in Liar Liar sealed the deal for me. I feel like he would kill me with that giant smile on his face."
—Anonymous
Steve Granitz / Getty Images23. "Bruno Mars. His music is super mediocre, and every time I think of him, I think of that music video with the monkey masks, and I get shivers down my spine."

24. "Tom Hanks. I’ve felt this way since I was a child, and I’m 33 now. You know when you see someone and they make your skin crawl and you can’t explain it? My mother loves him and would watch his movies all the time. I would have to immediately leave the room if she turned one on because it made me sick to my stomach."

25. "I’m honestly not a Leonardo DiCaprio fan. Something about him just screams 'red flag.' Maybe it’s the girls he dates that are half his age."
—Anonymous
Dia Dipasupil / Getty Images26. "Candace Cameron Bure. Yuck, just yuck. Her social media sharing is not reflective of her pro-God lifestyle. The showing off is just gross. She is terribly unlikeable IMO and very holier-than-thou."
—Anonymous
Paul Archuleta / Getty Images27. "I don’t know why, but John Krasinski rubs me the wrong way. His voice is so…millennial."
—Anonymous
Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images28. "I cannot stand Ed Sheeran. There is no reason. I saw him open for Taylor Swift in my childhood. My bones recoil into themselves when I hear his songs. I simply can’t handle it."
—Anonymous
Jason Mendez / Getty Images29. "Adam Levine. That guy tries to be a personality, but he is fake and moody. I really dislike him. Then, one of his songs will come on, and I'll listen to it because it's very good, but afterwards, I go back to hating him again."
—Anonymous
Paras Griffin / Getty Images30. Finally: "Matthew Morrison gives me the ick anytime I see or even think of him."
