Has to be Conor McGregor for me; I think he's cocky and arrogant but he didn't always seem that way.

Mine is Ryan Tubridy when I was younger and he had his Saturday night show I didn't think he was the worst but now I can't stand him.
He just loves a depressing story and milking it, along with his poor interviewing skills and this prim and proper image he has.

Hate is a strong word but Charlton Heston and Kelsey Grammer. Liked their films/tv shows but saw a few things where they were too vocal on their politics.

Richard Hillman · 09-04-2020 07:16PM

Used to love Gary Lineker but then he political.

Rothko · 09-04-2020 07:17PM

I wouldn't say hate, that'd be far too strong, but I'd have no interest at all in watching a new Will Smith movie.

I grew up in the same estate as him , he was a bully to pretty much anyone smaller than him and at 5 ‘ 6 and maybe 120 pounds at 16 I was a target , he genuinely was never a nice person. he was big into drugs at that time too. Believe me or don’t believe me a lot don’t but that’s my 2 cents

Hate is too strong a word. Immensely dislike - in alphabetical order by first name:

1. Ray D'arcy.

That is all.

Hector Ó hEochagáin. Hate doesn't enter into it, just find him irritating. His travel show 'Amú' on TG4 back in the day was great lark in its ramshackle approach, relying mostly on the the force of his personality. With acclaim grew exposure, and soon Hector was everywhere. His manic energy began to grate as the charm wore off. I can only tolerate him nowadays in very small doses.

Liam Cunningham. Turned into a moral, virtual signalling celebrity bore.

retro:electro · 09-04-2020 07:27PM

Most of them. I never want to see another celebrity again after all of this is over. I’ve always felt it but it has really brought to the forefront how vacuous, superficial and out of touch they all are. They’re all coming out of the woodwork now with corona on the loose trying to appear all humble and humerus but please crawl back into the hole you came out of nobody gives a shlt about how a multi millionaire living in a mansion is finding this hard.

Berties Horse.

Odhinn · 09-04-2020 07:34PM

Bob Geldof.

No doubt.... anyone who hits an auld fella sitting at the bar is, and always will be, utter scum.

No problem believing he was scum to start with and is now only scum with money.

Gal Gadot just needs a leg up.

Shamboo1801 · 09-04-2020 07:36PM

Belinda Carslile. To this day I have no idea why.

Meryl Streep. Used to think she was a good actress but now. Was too pally with Harvey not to know what he was doing.

He did come from a poor tenement background, so you do get a lot of labour/lefties from that background.

I remember listening to a podcast where Eamonn Dunphy interviewed him.

But yeah, at a certain point, celebrities get a bit ashamed of their status or in America can use charity as a tax write-off, and push it too hard.

Poor Uncle Tom · 09-04-2020 07:40PM

Brendan Gleeson, Patrick Bergin, Bono, Bob Geldof,

^^^^^ This ^^^^^

A completely boring, irrelevant fart who loves to pontificate to all!!

TuringBot47 · 09-04-2020 07:59PM

Gay Byrne used to be an old boring presenter, but as soon as he got involved in the road safety gig he was anti-drivers.
He's gone now, but God knows why he was considered qualified for that position.

He was great on the Den but I can't stand him anymore.

Jim Carrey, always loved him till i saw the Netflix doc about him.

The imagine video all those self isolated celebrities sung together via video link was very condescending and I was thinking the exact same as you after watching it!!

I thought Ewan McGregor was OK until I heard about what he got up to with Mary Elizabeth Winstead on the set of Fargo (the TV series), with his wife and kids at home. Turns out he wasn't just acting in that series.

I heard him today talking about joggers and covid 19, the way he was going on, like he was saying something very important and profound, he just said most joggers are good people as it is something easy going people like to do (he is a jogger by the way)

I didn't see that documentary but it's clear he had very bad publicity in the last few years.

Kim K

She seemed sound in the video but is insufferable now.

Arghus · 09-04-2020 08:22PM

Ray D'Arcy. At one stage he was probably the most popular man in the country. Around the time of 2002/3. When he was presenting Popstar or You're A Star or whatever it was called. Everyone loved Ray. You either liked him from back in the day on the Den or thought he was charming enough presenting the reality TV stuff. People liked him a lot. I don't know what happened to him, but he's become a sour faced barely competent pain in the arse, but it wasn't always like that.

Hector O' Hecvbdxighan - or whatever way you spell it - was alright when he first came on the scene, but, like everything, RTE pushed him down our throats until we were all sick of him. His persona worked well enough with what he was doing at the start, but it wore thin when it was popping up here there and everywhere.
