Celebrities you hate but didn't always dislike

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

freshpopcorn · 09-04-2020 7:07pm

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 7:16pm

Used to love Gary Lineker but then he political.

Rothko · 09-04-2020 7:17pm

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 7:27pm

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.

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.

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 7:40pm

Brendan Gleeson, Patrick Bergin, Bono, Bob Geldof,

TuringBot47 · 09-04-2020 7:59pm

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.

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 8:22pm

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.

monkeysnapper · 09-04-2020 8:30pm

Mine has to be Ryan Giggs

Growing up as a welsh man united fan ... bought the shirts ... even tho he got a bit of a bad wrap for not playing in a lot of the welsh matches I let him off ....

A true welsh man united legend ...

Then all that changed. ......

Every time I see him now I just think what a scum bag....

It's amazing how Giggs was somehow able to keep his nice guy reputation and then some other players have reputations of being **** based on a lot less.

At the end of the day, I don't really give a fck what he got up to in his private life, but it's curious how he was able to salvage his reputation while some others just become figures of hate

Archeron · 09-04-2020 8:35pm

Ciara Kelly. I used to like her when she had the medical segment, but when she got her own show she actually made me stop listening to newstalk.

She's also a big fan of convicted child ****er Roman Polanski. One of the most two-faced people you could meet.

If you look at this clip of him being awarded an Oscar you can see the kind of people who decry Harvey Weinstein, but applaud Polanski.

I heard Sam Smith is finding it particularly hard in it's mansion.

While I slightly agree with your post.

While others would have done stupid or nasty things in their career what he did was unforgivable being it was his own brother . . And if that wasnt bad enough he did his best to silence the media

If it was a one off I'd say something but that creep was doing it for ages....

But yes I agree the guys come out the other end with his reputation still intact ......

John Terry wakes up every morning and thanks his lucky stars for Ryan Giggs riding his sister in law and taking the heat off of him.

Add Dwight Yorke with Ryan Giggs to the "I liked them as a player but it turned out that he was a reprehensible character" category

She gave him a standing ovation in that clip. Interesting Harrison Ford didn't clap at all.

Any celebrity who goes down the sjw road becomes extremely unlikable.

or force their political opinions on others - nobody cares what you think, we listen to your music/watch your shows-movies - we dont care if you dont like trump/didnt get your way and we dont want to be pointificated at

Ray Darcy - liked him growing up on the den/blackboard jungle and was likeable untill a point near the end of his tenure on Today Fm, where he changed for the worse (e.g. Interview with that MMA guy), Wondering why he changed

Matt Cooper, was great interviewer/did a great show on Today fm, now has gone such a sjw whingebag, a trump hate bore, and his show is now painful and insufferable with all the perpetually offended types (cough Gannon/McDermott etc)...sad he changed as his show was good listening and he challenged his interviewees and didnt entertain the nonsense he has on now

You summed it up perfectly there, I always felt kind of a loyalty to his programmes usually because i grew up watching the Den. He was definitely not that PC on the den or today FM, it seems he got swept up in a wave of populism culture

I don't "hate" anyone; but I wouldn't look away in disgust if Bono was getting a few slaps. That's all I'll say.

Gwyneth Paltrow does my head in recent years probably since around the time she consciously uncoupled.
