Top 20 Actors Who Hated Their Characters

[@MsMojo]

Did you hate any of these characters as much as the actors did? Let us know below, and be sure to also check out our video of the Top 30 Moments We Found Out an Actor Was a Great Singer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWbYk4eJpJ6Nacksi=EgtnncG7D9yocPBa

Joe Goldberg.

[@judibickford5306]

I don't call Delores Umbridge, Delores Umb**** for nothing. I hate her as much as Imelda did.

[@trinaq]

It's a testament to Imelda Staunton's acting skills that not even SHE could stand Umbridge.

[@susanrobinson910]

She looks and acts just like my Crazy Aunt Vera from Florida! 😳 If my family Ferber had a British accent, I would have seriously worried that JK Rowling knew her! Plus, she loved dogs…not cats, like Umbridge 😂

[@trinaq]

It's easier watching Stanley Tucci play a creepy predator in "The Lovely Bones", knowing that he repeatedly apologised to Saoirse Ronan between takes, and constantly made sure that she was alright.

[@kamsismith]

I didn't know that. It’s sad but not surprising that not many actors are willing to do that.

[@widow237]

He appears to be a real gentleman. Great actor too.

[@ThePinkDragon]

so glad he felt sympathy

[@themustar601]

That may be a good testament to her acting also, if her character’s reactions to his character caused him such concern for her

[@vetarlittorf1807]

Sean Connery didn't hate James Bond. He just hated the lack of character development. That's why he regretted not doing On Her Majesty's Secret Service, since that was exactly the kind of Bond film he wanted to do.

[@kamsismith]

Jeanette McCurdy. She hated playing Sam in iCarly because 1. She never wanted to be an actress in the first place. 2. The character loved food while Jeanette was battling anoxeria in real life along with the trauma her mother put through.

[@trinaq]

It was so horrible that the writers seemingly knew about Jennette's eating disorder, yet continued to write about Sam being obsessed with food in their scripts.

[@kamsismith]

It reminded me of an actress from an 80s sitcom who went through the same thing(I forget her name and the show). Like Jennette, she also battled anorexia and while filming the show’s series finale, she had to eat a pizza with her TV family despite her just coming out of recovery.

[@trinaq]

@@kamsismith I think that you're referring to Tracey Gold in "Growing Pains", and it was uncomfortable to watch her on screen brothers rib her character Carol for her apparent chubby figure, when she had a perfectly average size. At least Gold sought help for her disorder.

[@Hectorferjr2]

Jennette McCurdy’s tragic story is the reason why T.V. networks should make sure actors are enthusiastic and passionate about acting in order to avoid toxic controversies like this. Jennette’s story hurt Miranda and everyone around her. These toxic controversies make it difficult for enthusiastic actors to book an agent to represent them. I have Cerebral Palsy. I use a posture control walker and power wheelchair for mobility. I figured having a big career on Netflix could help improve my social practice and inclusion. My high school refused to make accommodations for me to take acting classes. Now I understand why my mom and the majority of my family was so hesitant about paying for my classes and my headshots. I'm 29 years old. I’m currently finishing up my Bachelor’s Degree in Film at Bridgewater State University by this Christmas.

[@kamsismith]

@@trinaqThank you because that story broke my heart. After hearing her story and noticing the parallel between her and Jennette’s battles with anorexia along with Margaret Cho’s battle with an eating disorder while working on All-American Girl, two things came to mind: 1. Kids shouldn't be working in the entertainment industry after hearing so many stories spanning from Jackie Coogan to the horrific tragedy of Judith Barsi. 2. Have we not learned anything, especially after what happened to Karen Carpenter and how people made fun of her appearance?

[@henri191]

Robert Pattinson has good reasons to hate Twilight 😂

[@manyharmons4308]

Nah. His reasons are no different than anyone who gets remembered for a role to often. He was okay with it initially but started to hate it later. Christen Stewart just moved on and accepted that everyone will always remember bella swan.

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

He isn't a good actor anyways

[@farahsafi6175]

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

@@criminalmindsgirl2936 he was great as Cedric in Harry Potter, and he was great in Batman. There's been a couple other movies I've seen him in that he was really great in as well. You specifically aren't a fan of what you've seen him in, doesn't mean he's bad 😂

[@MarrisaPlays]

Imelda is an absolutely insanely good actress I'm not sure another actress could have made us hate her so much for doing such a good job acting.

[@chelseacanales8763]

Can’t blame Jacob for hating The Kissing Booth movies along with Robert’s hatred for the Twilight franchise

[@bikingbuggy4199]

I can. They wouldn’t be known if it wasn’t for those.

[@karlsmith2570]

I strongly disliked the character of Delores Umbridge, and I was actually quite relieved to discover that Imelda Staunton equally disliked the character

[@trippyboi91]

Lissen.. I’m just happy because of HER ppl don’t come for my gurl Bellatrix too often 😂.

[@richardhoehn9922]

Wait. Who would actually LIKE Delores Umbridge?

[@karlsmith2570]

@richardhoehn9922 perhaps someone who's a complete psychopath

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

​@@karlsmith2570i don't blame Imelda for hating Umbridge

[@lacriticdealwithit8588]

This is strange, Mostly because I heard of a story where Harrison Ford sabotaged other actors' chances of getting the part of Han Solo. Apparently at the time, he was working on the set, (with a hammer) and every time someone was auditioning for the part, Ford would start hammering real loudly.... So if said story is true, then Mr. Ford is being a bit ungrateful, cuz he tried so hard to get the part, only to turn around and say he hated it....

[@lisamac2403]

I’ve heard in interviews where Brad Pitt said he hated playing Louie in interview with the vampire.

[@noodlepikmin]

Bill Murry hated playing as Garfield in the 2000s. He thought he was playing as someone else, I believe he said

[@lenathompson1733]

You mean Bill Murray hated having a voice of Garfield?

[@KittyHo-pg2zy]

IT'S BILL MURRAY !!!!!

[@judibickford5306]

He thought that the script was written by one of the Cohen Brothers.

[@photofreak56]

I still can't watch the Lovely Bones again as that movie just leaves you feeling disgusting but it's nice to know that Stanley Tucci hated his character so much that he was checking on Saoirse Ronan makes it a little less hard to deal with.

[@stephenking5852]

It’s such a depressing movie, just like the original book.

[@photofreak56]

@@stephenking5852 I read the book for school it was extremely hard to read

[@kp2223]

But christopher plumber is on the list

[@nixda9326]

pretty sure Ford doesnt really hate his Character. he just got tired over times of always being asked about Solo since he played another iconic Character with Indiana Jones but i guess People still remember him more for playing Han Solo than Indiana Jones, so i can understand why he started to dislike all the Questions about Solo.

[@devinfaucette]

No he definitely does. And Blade Runner. And up until very recently I was under the impression that he despised Indiana Jones as well, but i think he just hates him less then Deckard and Han Solo

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Amazing video ms mojo,fantastic job.

[@MeyaRoseGirl]

Edward Cullen did hate himself, so Stephenie Meyer actually really liked Rob's performance as Edward because the self-loathing came across in his performance. If someone had tried to approach it as Bella saw Edward, as this this prince charming figure, it would have felt all wrong.

[@karlsmith2570]

I'm actually quite surprised that Charles Dance, as Tywin Lannister, didn't appear on this list, at least as an honorable mention

[@zionnewkirk4838]

Charles didn't like playing Tywin or didn't like the character specifically?

[@karlsmith2570]

@zionnewkirk4838 I believe that it was more that he'd disliked the character specifically, especially due to the way the character had treated Tierion, considering whenever Charles had any scenes that had his character interacting with Peter Dinkledege as Tierion and treated him the way Tywin would, that after the Director's would call Cut, he'd apologize to Peter for how he'd treated him while in character

[@Omega_X_Factor]

Robert Pattinson hated Twilight enough he spent eight years doing movies no one saw!

[@waterjade4198]

I'm sure he figured a paycheck is a paycheck. And a very decent paycheck at that.

[@farahsafi6175]

15:56 I can 100% relate to the actress portraying Umbridge not liking to portraying that role as it was traumatizing in a way for her

[@Minidollcollector]

Jennette mcurdy also hated her character Sam Puckett as well right

[@VictoriaRichards12]

@@keirarees3179 you’re right! I was willing to root for Chuck Bass but for some reason, not for Dan. I think his character development wasn’t good, especially considering he was actually gossip girl.

[@keirarees3179]

Many HP fans will admit to hating Umbridge, to hear that Imelda hated her too is strangely satisfactory. I’m not surprised with Robert P, I love the books but the films leave a lot to be desired.

To me, your fun comes out when your with Leslie Manns character (of who I believe is the one we as audiences are SUPPOSED to side with. Not even her husband). And yeah the guys are funny, but they’re also SHIT SELFISH ASS GUYS! That ain’t cute to most people. Especially if one is about to be a father. The joy of the movie to me is seeing how Allison and Ben put those differences aside in order to grow that baby up right. I swear she missed the bigger picture.
