I don't care if Keanu can't act because I just love him as a person.

Agree with both.

A lot of you are undervaluing screen presence.

Actors who have been bad in absolutely everything? Jessica Pare is the first one that comes to mind. That woman can stink up anything.
I hear Kristen Stewart's name a lot but I've never seen her in anything.


You missed the Twilight Series? Poor you! JK

When she said that her Devil Wears Prada character took no effort to play because she was basically playing herself, I was like, "Okay I'm done with you."

She also sent Sandra Bullock some dead flowers after Bullock won an Oscar or Golden Globe, so yeah. Apparently she's not an actress, just the Devil in Prada/Chanel.


You're wrong. She was Method Acting in that movie and stayed in character despite being miserable doing so.

"Meryl previously admitted she was "so depressed" during filming because she adopted an acting style which meant she kept an icy relationship with her co-stars Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt, and afterwards she vowed never to go "Method" again.

She told Entertainment Weekly: "It was horrible! I was [miserable] in my trailer. I could hear them all rocking and laughing. I was so depressed! I said: 'Well, it's the price you pay for being boss!' That's the last time I ever attempted a Method thing!"

Blunt concurred in an interview with The Independent newspaper, saying: "Do you know she’s never done Method acting since? She said it made her so miserable on this one, because we were all having a party on the other side of the set. And she was like: ‘I won’t do this again'."

And the laughing/smirking/bad acting was all part of the act.

Be nice - poor guy has a pretty serious condition right now. He’s quite good in the roles he was given. My personal fave is The Whole Nine Yards with Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet and Michael Clarke Duncan. Honorable mention for his guest role on Friends.


He was also great all those years ago in "Moonlighting."


Of course. I thought that one goes without saying

Same! It seems like her on-screen persona is always about being the most beautiful, thinnest, and best-dressed in the room. Which she already is. You never see her playing a homeless woman. The worst was Big Little Lies, where all the other characters were constantly telling her how beautiful she is.

I might have to agree with Keanu reeves but he seems like a great guy, I don’t mind that he’s not a good actor in the movies I see him in and I have a great fondness for him so I 100% support him in being a famous person
