I think the thing with MMcC is he is SUPER annoying yet very successful and chicks appear to love him.

I wonder if he is as much of a knob as his characters.

Dated Sandra Bullock, so he's doing better than me.

erm, WRONG!

Tremors was bestest film ever and everything else he's ever done was lame. Please take that back or I'll be forced to shout through the screen at you.

Except tremors 6, that was just lame.

You can't knock Footloose.
Seriously though, what about JFK? Kevin Bacon is in that and I like it even though it is nonsense.
You have to like Kevin Bacon just for the American dad piss take of him.

McConnaughey always seems like a nice bloke when he's interviewed. Seems to understand he's not the best actor and doesn't seem to take himself too seriously unlike some of the named above.

Apparently he drives from movie set to movie set with his own airstream trailer as he likes to spend time seeing the USA rather than flying and staying in hotels all the time. Quite like that too.

Val Kilmer always seems like a bit of a knobend. Tom Hardy always appears very uncomfortable when being Interviewed but Is bloody brilliant In most things I've seen him In.

I'm gonna go with John Cusak, his early output is a veritable trompe l'oeil of hidden shallowness.

Really really hard to chose between Cruise and Gibson.

Have you seen the scientology interview thing with Cruise.... Scarey, He really believes this crap.

But then Gibson is a complete nut job, see who he hates (everyone else) and what he'd like to do to his ex...... The guy needs help.

Both have made some utter crap that I've paid money and invested time to see, MI4, Braveheart etc etc.

But it would just about go to Gibson, as I've actually enjoyed the odd Cruise film and other than madmax I'm stuggling with Mel.

I'll see your Matthew McConnaughey and raise you John Travolta!

Val Kilmer is also well known as a prize arsehole

Russell Crowe

John Cusack

A month or so ago I would have argued with you, then I heard an interview on 5Live and he was [i]so[/i] far up his own arse...

John Travolta redeems himself with Pulp Fiction.

No. So long as little Tommy Cruise walks the earth, he takes the main prize every time.

Cage is brilliant

Video NSFW.

I'm more concerned that there's been over 40 posts and no mention of Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Van Damme doesn't take himself seriously tho, that's the difference.

Cage is high on the list.

Mel Gibson has done more than anybody to contribute to the break up of the UK.

But why should he care? I'm sure he made a packet from Braveheart.

I bumped into Terry Gilliam recently - literally in fact, as he's involved in a few projects with my employer.

Nob?

Not a bit. Lovely bloke, came across as very charming and genuinely chuffed to bits to be working with us.

Then there's that Damon Albarn...went to the same secondary school as me (trufax). My brother's mate cuffed him round the head for being a cheeky swine. Nob? Nope, apparently. He's also doing a few projects with my employer and is apparently a very down to earth chap. I've had numerous dealings with some well known opera singers and without exception all of them have been very charming. Even the titled ones have a sense of humour.

Don't believe what you hear, 'slebs are people too.

But Val Kilmer is a colossal helmet from all accounts.

Are you saying Cage takes himself seriously? Have you seen Drive Angry? 🙂

Spotted a van as I was driving to Cwmcarn earlier this week with "Jean Claude Van Man" emblazoned on the side. Well, it made me laugh anyway... 😆

What about Cage in Kick Ass as well? Outstanding..

My vote has to go to the current Batman - Christian Bale..

RM high on the list of "actors that are likely to be annoying and in shit films" which the thread should really have been entitled. Guess why I've not seen "Drive Angry"?

Bale is a great actor and has done some amazing films IMO - seen the Machinist?

PrinceJohn raises a very good point

+1.

high on the list of "actors that are likely to be annoying and in shit films"

Would definitely be Jean-Claude Van Damme, IMO.

All depends.

Hugh Grant is a pain of the first order - he dislikes both acting and actors, and is reported (by many, [i]many[/i] of the people he's worked with) to be rude, discourteous, and exceptionally prickly.

Then again, he loathes Murdoch with a passion, doesn't take himself seriously, and believes that he's overpaid for what he does, though he's not stupid enough to turn down what he's offered.

He's got a difficult reputation, but when you read through what was billed as a 'difficult' interview he gave to Esquire, I ended up rather liking the bloke.

+1 for Cage. I struggle to watch any of his films. Tremors is amazing though and Bill Paxton is in both Aliens and Weird Science so has to be cool by default. 😉

McConaughey was alright in the Lincoln Lawyer and some of his other films like Sahara are enjoyably shite. He rides bikes too so thats got to be a plus point plus there was the whole getting arrested for playing the bongos naked thing.

I share the dislike for guys like Gibson, Cruise etc but i'll also add Michael Cera into the mix. I dont know anything about him as a person so just going by the roles he plays (well the role he plays every one is exactly the same) and he winds me up no end. He's not a big cinematic knob though more of an insufferable nerdy little prick

I was right there with you, with the Nicholas Cage thing.....until I saw him in "Kick Ass". He's pretty good in that. My wife hates Clint Eastwood and Michael Caine. I can see the Michael Caine thing, but Clint Eastwood!! What a legend.

Kilmer lives here in N. New Mexico and, over the past 10 years, has managed to p**s off just about everyone in the state from his neighbors to politicians (and with the den of snakes we have political-wise in New Mexico that takes some doing).

I agree - I love the new Batman films & am really hoping TDKR lives up to the previous 2 films, however after his rant on the set of Terminator Salvation I have no time for him as a person.
