Psychologists are finding that our social intuition can be very accurate—in certain situations, we pick up a remarkable amount of information about someone's personality or skills in just a few seconds.
But that's not always the case, as Princeton University researcher Dr. Alexander Todorov discovered that even different images of the same person can create drastically different first impressions.
So to test our preferences, Reddit user Brody0628 made a post on the platform, asking: "What is a celebrity everyone loves but you think is insufferable? And why?" Here are the most upvoted answers they've received so far.

Gwyneth Paltrow. She can Goop right outa here.
Oprah was basically the O.G. Jerry Springer and pioneered that genre of shock-garbage-emotional-manipulation TV. Now she's interviewing Prince Harry like she's Barbara f**king Walters or something. I don't get it.

IIRC She’s also a major factor in the current anti-vax movement. She brought some guest on that said vaccines cause autism in the 90’s and the stay at home moms ate that s**t up like candy and it spread from there.
She also started that 'positive thinking cures cancer' B******T in the 90's and thought Tom Cruise was a god.
Drake or Kanye Both have heads that no longer fit through a door. Kanye can't keep his bipolar mouth shut and has skewed opinions on important things, like politics, that some of his fans gobble up. Drake literally thinks he helped the Raptors win a championship. Sit the f**k down in front, bro.

Also Drake is creepy the way he befriends young teen girls! That’s a weird thing for a grown a*s man to do.
The Biebers. Justin is giving man baby and Hailey radiates privilege blind mean girl.
honestly, he's matured, and isn't really in the spotlight all that much.
Nicki Minaj, and thankfully everyone’s finally starting to get it. All this information came out back in like 2021 and it somehow got swept under the rug. I never got good feelings from
her
Those of us that grew up in era of Lauren Hill know that Niki Minaj is an awful "rapper" and does women in wrap a great disservice.
Jennifer Lopez …so tired of hearing about her ever changing love life. So many stories as well about what a rude diva she is.
And her roles of getting out of puberty and guy troubles. It seems so demeaning and immature that a lady who is old enough to be a grandma plays clueless bride-to-be roles forever. Nothing wrong in feeling young, it is just the sense of immaturity that prevails which I see stereotypical and depreciative of women (I am a guy).
Ariana grande Not everyone loves her but she's really popular. I too used to be a fan of hers, but then too many stories about her real personality came out, then there was the donut video, then it was the constant race change, and being a homewrecker
u/heavyliquid_______
I really dislike the whole Lolita child like persona she puts on. Also get the feeling she’s gotten every single person she’s ever wanted her whole life so now it gives her an ego boost to get someone who was already in a relationship. The new boyfriend is even worse. But I get the feeling she’s gotten away with everything she’s ever done because she’s beautiful.
Homewrecker? Takes two people for that to happen yet it's always the woman whose blamed...
Will Smith. Even before the slap, he just irritated me.
Always been Justin Timberlake and finally that tide has turned. I feel so seen after all these years. HES ALWAYS BEEN THE WORST
u/trippydragonfly
Letting Janet Jackson take the fall for that superbowl show and have it ruin her career was such a low blow. And tarnishing Britney's reputation to boost his own career. And this is just personal bias but he always has the most unpleasant look on his face and there is like this dead look in his eyes
I’m a millennial old enough to remember him being the fave of many teen when he was the frontman for *NSYNC. I was more into Backstreet Boys personally, but I also felt weird having a crush on someone that much older than me so I went with Nick Carter since he was the only one who still had a teen next to his age. I never saw the appeal in him. I’ve liked his music sure, but I’ve never found him that attractive.
Jerry Seinfeld So many people seem to love him, and his show was wildly successful, but I can’t stand him at all.
u/slippycaff
Plus, he dated a teenager when he was in his late thirties. Eww.
Chris Pratt.
Never liked him. Hated how he treated his ex wife, cheating on her like that.
Chrissy Teagan
I know I'll get hate for this but Jim Carrey. I find the guy totally obnoxious! He seems like he's got one schtick and that's all he knows.
u/MambyPamby8
Yeah I used to LOVE Jim. He was great in the 90s but the last few years he's an insufferable d**khead. He was unfairly rude as f**k towards Margot Robbie on the Graham Norton show and made several implications that she only got famous for her looks. You can see how uncomfortable she is throughout the interview from there on in. It was very mean girl stuff. I felt bloody uncomfortable watching from home.
did he also really push the anti-vax movement along? iirc his ex really pushed it for it with him.
Leonardo Dicaprio he seems like such a creep and his he is such a liar when it comes to his stance on climate change.
Jimmy Fallon. He just seems so fake and over the top. Not every guest on your talk show can be so funny you have to slap the desk and yell over them in excitement. You can only break so many times in SNL sketches before it becomes a gimmick. The late night hosts had an amazing podcast during the strike called Strike Force Five and you can really tell how much weaker he is than the rest of them.
He is a "people chameleon " ...he takes on the traits of anyone he interviews
Dakota Johnson.
A nepo baby that just doesn’t have the talent to back it up.
I’m a huge Madam Web fan, and I’m not seeing the movie purely because I know she’ll annoy me.
I can't stand Kevin Hart. He's not funny, and his stand-up shows are forced laughter in a nutshell
Not forgetting the weird circumstances of the car crash he was involved in.
Will Ferrell. He’s not funny and I find him very annoying
He is a really good voice actor. LOVED him in Megamind (and the Lego movie)
Timothy Chalamet. I don’t get the hype. And there’s just something about him that irritates me
He's dating Kylie Jenner which is a pairing I never thought would happen!
Bill Maher. He's got arrogant prick written all over him 😡
Britney Spears. I’m sorry, but I hate how everyone think she’s the greatest human ever and that any man would be lucky to have her. I get that she had it rough but her mental health is still very concerning. I think she’d be a nightmare to date. She legit needs help and her fans aren’t doing her any favours. I don’t hate her or anything but I just can’t stand how people worship her. They actually treat her like someone with an intellectual disability. For example, she spins and flops around on the floor and people are “you go girl! You live your life!” No! She’s a mother in her 40s and needs mental help. People don’t like manic Kanye but fully support manic Britney because her parents are s****y? Stop being a Britney apologist and give her some real help.
Vin Diesel - he just sounds so monotone and I don’t think he’s a great actor or even hot. Sorry not sorry
Pitch Black was awesome. But the plot was just Isaac Asimov with monsters added. (You can never go wrong with Asimov.)

He sabotaged several good franchises by signing up for several movies and then skipping out after one. Like triple x or fast and furious. Some manage to do without him, others don't. That's pretty nasty. It's fine if he doesn't want to do sequels, but then he shouldn't take contracts that clearly state they're planning them.

"sound so monotone" and "i dont think he's a great actor or hot"... how does this make him insufferable?
I remember hearing how he asked The Rock to come back for a Fast and Furious movie, and they had a disagreement. The rock was presenting Vin like he was some arrogant guy. But then The Rock news broke out, and I don't know whom to believe anymore. Our views of celebrities are so way off from reality that I just stopped carrying to make any opinions and worry what kind of people they are.
MrBeast. Something about him rubs me the wrong way, and his fanbase who goes after anyone with the slightest criticism doesn't help any
Same, even the thumbnails of his videos somehow portray him like a diety. He does good things, but I can't get over the pompousness of a video titled "I cured 100 blind people!"
Adam Sandler. He makes every movie all about himself, but he's not even a good comedian...
Insufferable is too strong a word but I suspect that Steve Irwin is much more loved outside of Australia (where I am from) than in it. Before he died a lot of people found him a bit much, a bit of a caricature and thought he was bothering the animals (rather than observing them from afar, undisturbed).
I’ll probably get a lot of downvoted for saying that. It seems like he is basically the greatest person to ever live to many Americans.
Bring on the downvotes, but... I've never liked Jennifer Aniston. She just seems fake and whiney to me.
She’s such a plain vanilla actress, yet the world acts like she’s the only woman who ever got a divorce and sun shines out of @$$.
I'm not sure how beloved she is anymore but back in the day, Jennifer Lawrence was the darling baby of the Internet. I couldn't f*****g stand her at the time though because her uber-relatable personality just seemed so forced and cringe to me. "I'm so different and quirky because I like pizza and I'd rather wear comfy sweatpants and watch movies while cuddling than dress up sexy and go clubbing." That's not unique or interesting, and the way she turned it into her entire brand made me roll my eyes so hard.
Agreed. Especially after she claimed to be the first woman in an action movie.
Bill Murray.
I don’t hate him but for some reason the internet thinks he is God’s gift to comedy. He’s alright but he’s nowhere close to the idol that the internet makes him out to be.
He's from the era when SNL was actually funny, satirical and enjoyable to watch.
Neil deGrasse Tyson - man interrupts and talks over everyone.
Drew Barrymore
u/Ashton_Garland
She was chill in my books for a while but the minute she crossed the picket line during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike it was game over for me. Also stop being so weirdly touchy with people, it comes off as fake.
Dwayne Johnson. He was kinda charming at first, but now he seems like a corporate shill with everything he does
Fred Armisen. Of that SNL era I like pretty much everyone else, he just deeply skeevs me out for some reason.
Johnny Depp, I think he's overhyped. Used to be a fan but the last decade he lost his shine for me.
So many of these are just, 'I dislike this celebrity for no real reason.' What a waste of time.
Not really. Quite a bit of them had good reasons where celebrities were rude or fake. But also, I'm not a fan of celebrity content on BP.
Load More Replies... Honestly, where's the purpose of this article? Some people dislike some celebrities. So what? Who the f**k cares?
Feels like there is a pattern here, mornings and pre-noon for me it seems as these celebrity articles have upvotes still. Then by evening they are at minus as they should. Is it us Europeans that wake up and upvote this c**p, or the americans that upvote it before they go to bed??
I can’t believe the one with Timothy Chalamet where people dislike him because they don’t like his face or because he was briefly connected to the Kardashians. I mean seriously what is wrong with people? Most of these are just rude comments about a celebrity’s appearance or voice and people have absolutely no logical reason to dislike them at all.
An article where Gen Zeros hating on others, especially older people. What a surprise.
Sienna Miller. Just loves to bring up “Jude Law cheated on me boo-hoo”, conveniently leaving out the part where she turned right around and cheated on him with Daniel Craig and then had that sleazy affair with Balthazar Getty where she was photographed straddling his lap while he pulled the top of her dress down and sucked on her t*ts. Around the same time she was photographed romping topless on a hotel balcony while her creepy hag of a mother was standing right there acting likes it’s perfectly normal to watch her adult daughter’s boobs bounce around in the breeze.
This article is made by such a diva, who is probably jealous of others success, the reasons behind the hate you gave make no sense, you being sassy, cooky and you hate them because you just have a bad mood show how low brain most of you are. You arguments are almost like ''I don't like him because he exist, or I don't like him because I'm bored and I don't know how to express my boredom''. Cringe asf, it's funny how a lot of us can stand behind a keyboard and hate on someone's just because. Go Get some milk would you...?!
These are weird opinions to have on people you don't know and have no personal connection to.
Tom Brady should be on this list. Cheated on his pregnant girlfriend (Bridget Monaghan) and cheated in the NFL multiple times. Awful person
Is this a weekly post now? It seems like this is getting posted once a week.
Can all those clowns just go away and make room for new faces? I'm tired of hearing about the same five mediocre actors appearing in every film. Hollyweird should put a fifteen film limit on every actor's career.
I've neve understood the fixation people have with celebrities. To make it to the top 1% they've all trampled and f*** over every one.
