For me it's The Rock and Chris Pratt.

Guardians of the Galaxy was great but I just wish he would stop playing starlord in every other role he's in!

I renamed my cat because of this guy. I don't really like to change animals names from what it was at the shelter in case they're used to it, and I have a cat named Mel, who I suspect was named for him because there was another nearby cat in the shelter he came from named "Gibson".

So I've renamed him after Mel Brooks.

I just can’t believe he asked Winona Ryder if she was an “oven dodger.” Wtf

I’m sad that I like a film of him, 'We were soldiers'.

But I like the film because my dad took me to the cinema to see it, not because of the film itself.

Childhood’s trauma stuff and shits, that’s how it is and too bad it’s a Mel Gibson movie 🤷🏻‍♂️

I loved that film as it was a good film. Even Mel's baggage can't wreck it. Sam Elliott's character was brilliant especially.

This is the first one I agree with. Everybody else, they've had good ones, and they've had bad ones, but their name alone doesn't ruin anything for me.

I've heard there's some weird stuff around Leto, so that might be worth avoiding him, but I never really paid attention, and I don't think about that guy at all.

Boss Level looked interesting. When I found out he was in it...nope.

Absolutely. Take your bigoted self and go away Mel.
