9 Actors Who Can't Actually Act ...

There is actually a film called ‘Bad Actors’ and all of these listed below should be made to watch it for crimes against cinema, until they recognise their guilt. What qualifies any of them to call themselves actorsis beyond me.

Liz Hurley

Liz Hurley Oh what a shallow world we live in, when wearing the ugliest dress in the history of couture can make a talent-free ‘actress’ rich and famous. I feel I know Liz Hurley’s boobs better than she does, since she ges them out at every photo-opportunity.

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton In the remake of House of Wax, Paris Hilton achieved the remarkable feat of appearing more like a waxwork before being turned into one. Try ‘acting’ again, Paris, and we’ll kidnap your chihuahua.

Madonna

Madonna Oh dear, Madonna. The list of shame that is your ‘acting’ career is too long for me to include here. Your confidence and persistence would be admirable were it not for the fact that you made the cinema-going public pay the price, in more ways than one.

Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley Why, oh why, is she described as an actress? An actress should be able to act. Acting involves being able to convincingly pretend to be someone else. Ms Knightley just makes me want to slap her in every film, because all I can see is her simpering face.

Hayden Christensen

Hayden Christensen George Lucas, j’accuse. By making this casting decision you ruined the original trilogy. Just how seriously can we now take Darth Vader, the most evil villlain in the Universe, when we have seen him as a sulky teenager stamping his feet and wailing ‘it’s not fair!’

Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck To quote Weird Al, ‘I sued Ben Affleck … do I even need a reason?’ Halfway decent in Dogma, but not as good as Matt Damon. In every other film might as well have ‘Bad Actor’ signposted above his head. More wooden than the average forest.

Jack Black

Megan Fox

Megan Fox Okay, Megan Fox, you’re pretty. Go be a model, dear. Spare us the attempts at acting.

Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey So bad, he’s not even worth checking if I’ve spelt his name correctly. Mercifully quiet lately. Perhaps even Matthew himself has realised his total lack of acting ability.

Now, this is hardly an exhaustive list, and there are many more ‘actors’ to keep this bunch company. Who would you name as unworthy of putting ‘actor’ under profession in their passport?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Keanu Reeves is the worst actor, and you forgot him. He looks exactly the same 90% of his time during a movie.

Contrary to popular proclamations, judgement on acting is not supposed to be subjective - maybe the extent but not the existence. There are conventions by which actors are commonly judged and if you are not a bad actor, then you are a good actor (which is then heightened by some to be great actors). With Jack Black, consider if he actually acts poorly or maybe, you just don't like him or the characters he plays? McConaughey - have you watched Amistad, A Time to Kill, U-571? No Al Pacino but just because his choice of films has degenerated does not mean he can't act. The others I more or less agree with - though I would still say bundling Knightley with the rest on that list is quite unjust. There is still a difference between glimpses of good acting and a complete inability to act.

Dant b dissen on Ben affleck and I totally agree wit Megan fox the only reason she gets roles is because she's hot as hell

And jack black he can act really good as well this was a horrible article if there was a dislike button on here I would hit it a million times I admire a couple of these actors. Btw you have a really bad taste of actors and actresses

Jesus... So many people that love Keira Knightly... The woman does not now how to act. She can't contribute anything more than her stiff face to a movie... The only emotion she can express is something between disgust and melancholia. Her face is stuck in that expression

OMG! i totally thought i was the only one who thought Keira Knightly couldn't act! the problem is she can one act as one character and so she is basically the same person in ever film, just with a different name and costume.

Oh come on! I totally agree with the first page but the second & third just get even more ridiculous. How dare you say that Keira Knightly cannot act, that's just an insult. I'm not Jack Black's biggest fan but he was amazing in the School of Rock. Come on, stop hating on these guys because they're beautiful AND talented. Acting is a hard job, don't judge them until you've been in their position.

Hey, it's just a light-hearted post! And sorry, I don't think that Keira can act.
