Hollywood’s 10 worst actors –

10. Shia LaBeouf

The way Shia LaBeouf confuses presence with overacting in every role and movie he has appeared in, and the way he mixes intensity with panic, makes him an obvious choice for this list. If you want to see really bad acting, check out LaBeouf in Fury or, even worse, Megalopolis and Tax Collector.

9. Mark Wahlberg

The man who began as an underwear model and Yo MTV Raps star made the leap to the film world more than 30 years ago and has been typecast in the role of “tough guy” numerous times since. In recent years Mark Wahlberg has shown some comedic qualities when “carried” by the right comedian (Ted, The Other Guys ), but for the most part he is just depressingly one-dimensional and catastrophically bad. The best examples are Max Payne, The Union, Flight Risk and The Happening.

8. Charlie Sheen

I really like Charlie Sheen in Navy Seals, Platoon and Wall Street, but it would be downright unfair to claim that his acting is anything other than awful. Like Jerry Seinfeld, Sheen has a knack for always looking like he is pretending and as if he could burst into laughter at any moment. Compared to his father, he has never really been an actor, quite the opposite.

7. Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart made her big break as the lovestruck Bella in the Twilight movies, and as woefully awful as she is there, she is unfortunately similar in everything else she has done since. Stewart’s approach to acting is to shape her lips into thin lines and look constipated, with the most expressionless eyes that can be captured on film.

6. Jon Bernthal

If you define your whole career and base your whole “method” on just walking around with arms flailing and your head tilted back, chewing on the inside of your cheeks and trying to look as “tough” as possible, then of course there won’t be much nuance or real empathy in your acting. Especially over time. This is where the always deplorable Jon Bernthal ends up, just growling and chewing on invisible fantasy food to appear ferocious. No presence, no variety and dialogue that always comes across as unnatural and contrived. If you want to see how Bernthal embarrasses himself, check out The Accountant 2 and American Gigolo. Immediately unbearable.

5. Amber Heard

There is no doubt that the beautiful Amber Heard only got her chance in Hollywood because she was/is beautiful and has some kind of movie star look. From Never Back Down to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, her acting has always been painfully one-dimensional, thin and poor to an extent that often seems bizarre. Magic Mike XXL and Drive Angry are shining examples of Heard’s inability to do anything other than look pretty.

4. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Twenty years ago, when The Rock went from the sweaty confines of professional wrestling to the glamour of Hollywood, we could all forgive his wooden, monotonous demeanor and flat performances, but today… After playing nearly 60 well-paid, high-profile leading roles, it’s a bit bizarre that the old man still reads his lines without emotion. The Rock’s acting is as natural as Hollywood’s obsession with plastic surgery.

3. Trok Barrymore

In the 1980s classic Firebird, as an acclaimed child starlet, Drew Barrymore was and is really good. The problems began to surface in adulthood, when she began to portray all her characters as mentally retarded, although the scripts never hinted at such a disorder. This naturally led to many role interpretations that offer unintentional and immediate comedy.

2. Scott Eastwood

Nepotism is not particularly unusual in Hollywood, and perhaps the most obvious shining example of when a movie star father and his surname paved the way for his talentless offspring is Scott Eastwood. Handsome in photographs and a former male model who plunged into the world of film without any presence, charisma, intensity or charm. Scott is Scott, plain and simple. Hollow, characterless, bland and utterly terrible.

1. Hayden Christensen

When it comes to incomprehensible things in this world, I think there are few things more baffling than Hayden Christensen being able to build an acting career despite not being able to act at all. From George Lucas’ much maligned prequel films in the role of a young Darth Vader (which of course he did excruciatingly badly) to today’s plodding performances in productions like The Last Man and Outcast, Christensen always shows his worst side. There are certainly bad actors who fit into certain films alongside colleagues who lift them up, give them lines and throw them into important key scenes, allowing them to muddle through despite their lack of ability. Christensen is not one of them.
