For example, I don’t like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It’s such a cozy movie.

    Mark Wahlberg is a racist that once tried to beat a Vietnamese person to death while shouting “I hate the Vietnamese” and other racist shit in the past.

      Apparently he ad-libbed a lot of the weird rapey dialog he has in Flight Risk (2025), not that anyone saw it because it sucks.

      Came here for this. Yes, not a good person in real life from what I’ve read.

      Also, terrible, wooden in so many movies. And yet, perfectly played his role in The Departed. So much so that I didn’t think it could be him at first.

      I hated him for this for a long time. He has since met with the victim, and the victim publicly said he forgave Wahlberg and wants him to have a second chance. To me, that’s restorative justice and I don’t think it’s my job to push for further consequences.

      Jon Hamm on the other hand…

          He was involved in a hazing incident in college. IIRC he [allegedly] used a coat hook to drag someone across the room by his asshole.

          Edit: aside from the hazing, Jon Hamm is my answer. He plays the same arrogant douche in everything he’s in, so I get the impression it’s not just a character. Similar to comedians whose whole schtick is being a dirtbag, then they turn out to be a dirtbag.
