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!

Hugh Grant. I'm sure he's both a wonderful person and a great actor, but... he seems to have gotten typecast into a certain type of movie that I just cannot stand. He's become a litmus test for movies I should just not bother watching.

Try Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I love Hugh in that movie and I’m not really a Hugh Grant guy either.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I never really liked him before, but I'm down with his recent villain arc.

[–] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’d recommend watching Heretic. I thought he crushed it as a bad guy. I also liked him in The Gentleman. Both are far from his Notting Hill and Two Weeks Notice romcom type stuff.

Wtf, Hugh Grant as a bad guy? I'm intrigued.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yes, that Oompa Loompa was nasty.

I watched this when I had covid and holy shit i was not in a fit mental state to deal with hugh grant oompa loompas

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

Dungeons and Dragons, Heretic, Paddington 2...

He's been doing a lot of villain movies recently and he is FANTASTIC at being the bad guy!

I agree that he is awful as the main character though... I want to see him defeated!!!

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

He's great as a villain in Heretic and, oddly enough, in Paddington too.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Yes heretic was pretty good, recommended.
