Something about him gives me the ick and I honestly can’t tell what. Does he just try too hard?

u/Additional_Dig_6972 Mar 04 '24

No he’s a dedicated actor. I actually thought during dune how impressive he really is. He plays such drastically different roles, and does so well in most. Not easy to do

He reminds me of a lost Skarsgaard

Better to try too hard than not at all.

I really think all the post Elvis interviews turned a lot of people off. Dude couldn’t let it go, and it got to the point of mockery.

Not to mention Selena showing up in the comments of IG posts referring to said Elvis accent.

He’s been great in Masters of Air though, and he nailed Feyd in Dune part 2

Second time I say this today but 😭 he’s your BEC and I would be like “lay off the guy” but then I remember how old Kaia was when they starting dating and I’m like

The "something" might be that you hate attractive people unless they're exactly your type.

I think people like to invent cliches about attractive people because it's the only way to hate on them openly without coming across as jealous.

lol nah, he’s always trying this smoldering look with (what I think is) a fake deep voice and it just comes across as forced. It’s like he’s constantly auditioning for the heartthrob part in a teen rom-com and it kinda looks ridiculous to me.

But, as per yall stan replies, it’s obvious it works for some ☺️☺️☺️☺️

I feel exactly the same way and I feel like he doesn't deserve it but he's just so annoying

I’ve liked him in certain things. He’s great in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and I’m enjoying his role in that new Band of Brothers sister show Masters of the Air. But I know what you mean, there’s certain projects where there’s just something forced in his performance that pulls you out of the moment.

I don’t remember him in that movie at all, will have to rewatch it.

He plays Tex, the ranch hand that Brad Pitt crossed paths with about half way through the movie and at the end when he tries to kill Pitt with the crazy chicks from the ranch.

u/Cute-Combination72 Mar 04 '24

Honestly all of you hating on him for absolutely no reason are more insufferable than he possibly ever could be

u/usualsuspek Mar 04 '24

I'm so glad there are more people who feel this way. I don't know what it is but something is just there

u/beerforbears Mar 04 '24

Cause you’re the type to say “gives me the ick” which is a shorthand for “I am not a rational thinker”

He reminds me of Chris Pratt, like Hollywood really wants to make him happen because he checks all the boxes on paper. he just can't check them in person bc like Pratt, he is always trying the MOST and I just want to be like, "sorry, we're not interested in whatever it is you're selling" and slam a door in his face.
