    Didn't take long for the thread to descend to the ridiculous. Nick is an oscar winner, and was nominated in another year.

    Should have won an oscar for Con Air:):)
    No-one else could deliver that immortal line - put the bunny back in the box.

    I've always found Sam Worthington to be absolutely terrible in everything I've seen him in. And thanks to James Cameron, we have four more Avatar movies to endure him in. Having said that, another of Wortho's upcoming movies has one of the best-worst premises ever; Alphas.
    When the local Great White population spirals out of control, environmentalist Gavin McDade (Worthington) is tasked with finding a natural solution to the shark problem. He tracks down the owner of a nearby Killer Whale sanctuary, whose career as an Orca trainer was cut short when she was attacked by the star of her own show. She reluctantly agrees to reintroduce a pod of juvenile Orcas into the same waters to drive out the sharks, but soon realizes there’s a female alpha Great White lurking beneath the surface capable of destroying them all. With nowhere else to turn and with his rebellious sister’s surf competition quickly approaching, he must convince the former trainer to unleash the same creature that nearly killed her in what will become the greatest battle of apex predators the oceans have ever seen.

    Four more Avatar movies?

    Hugh Grant

    "I..I...I. I'm so terribly sorry to ask this, but I find you quite attractive and, apologies for being so forthright, but it would mean the world to me if.....if you would be so kind as to have dinner with me" - *swoon*

    **** off Hugh, in real life the girl would prefer to go off with a guy who can string a sentence together. Although he was pretty good in that recent thing with Nicole kidman to be fair

    Nah. Not having that. Terrible shout.

    I think he can be excellent in right film.
    Paddington 2 he was fantastic imo

    He was brilliant in About A Boy as well.

    Hugh Grants biggest mistake was getting involved with Richard Curtis (Four Weddings, Notting Hill,etc..) He turned him into a caricature.

    And yes, I'm counting the prostitute scandal here

    Notting Hill did quite well financially.. not a bad mistake to make

    Close the thread its been infiltrated by wind up merchants looking for a reaction. You forgot Marlon Brando, truly horrendous actor.

    Ah now in fairness he played Mr. Humphreys from Are you being Served brilliantly that time he came prancing down those steps.

    I think Barry Keoghan is terrible. Anything Ive seen him in after Love Hate, he's been the same - monosyllabic, expressionless, beyond the occasional smirk. He almost looks bored. Good luck to him though, it seems to be working.

    Vin Diesel is terrible too. Huge climactic event - "mumblemumblemumble faaahmily" - slams car into first gear and speeds off

    Nicole Kidman is now awful. Maybe she always was, but she was laughable in The Undoing. She has such little movement in her face now, she has to move everything from the shoulders up to display emotion.

    Quintin Tarantino: a minor role always. A few shrilly ranty lines and he's popped.

    Sandra Bullock. She always looks like a deer caught in the headlights. Can't stand her.

    Ryan Gosling. Completely expressionless, which worked fairly well for his role as a replicant in Blade Runner I suppose, but terrible for everything else.

    Sean Connery. Truly awful actor

    GTFO. The Rock, Indiana Jones, The Hunt for Red October, The Untouchables. He absolutely dominates the screen.

    If anything he's underrated as an actor.

    The prostitute incident happened just after this. I'm guessing he alienated a lot of Hollywood people and so had do more Curtis type movies.

    He was excellent in the movie Lawless, he was also excellent in Bronson. Gained critical acclaim for his performance in Locke and again in Taboo. I think a lot of people are struggling to make the distinction between a truly "bad actor" and actors they just dont like personally. Either that or a lot of posts are trying to get a reaction.

    I just feel that he started well but some of his most recent performances have been rambling messes. He was excellent in Peaky Blinders but his output lately has been poor. I enjoyed Venom as a film but felt it would have been much better with a different actor playing the lead.

    In the real world a posh guy like the type Grant plays would wipe the floor with most.

    Yeh but shes playing a character who would have Botox, probably. I thought they were both ok in that, her and grant.
