Leonardo DiCaprio. I get huge, cringy 'imposter syndrome' vibes from him, like he knows he shouldn't be doing this for a living but soldiers on regardless. I've never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he's 'acting', and never really embodies the characters or reacts 'in the moment'. It's all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.
I hate that he became Scorsese's new De Niro, and so when I hear of a new Scorsese film I get excited and then immediately lose interest knowing that DiCaprio is probably gonna be leading it. Literally every film he has done would have been better with a different actor.
Also Nicolas Cage. I get the memey antifan sort of thing that bolsters his career, but let's be honest, there's no hint of talent in the man. He has ruined what might have been great films. Bringing Out the Dead could have been a legit classic if not for his involvement.
I don't generally have an issue with Leo but the imposter syndrome comment is on point. He does have a vibe and that description sums it up well.
I can't believe I forgot about Nicolas Cage!
Nice call!
The man does not have a single molecule of acting ability anywhere within his soul.
Edit.... Holy shit, I looked up a meme I made on Digg like 20 years ago, it's somewhere out on the internet!!! Yeah I did make it lol
Yeah but nobody likes him
🤷♂️ guess I'm nobody
Oh jeez I'm sorry dude it's ok here's a point up or whatever we call it here. For what it's worth I remember I did enjoy this one movie where he plays these twin writers or something. And that was double Cage right there
Haha, no worries man. It's just a light hearted conversation.
I'll meet you half way and say that even though I enjoy his movies, I don't think I'd like hanging out with him
Why dude, could be fun, cocaine's a hell of a drug hahahah

Yes! exactly. You just summed up my thinking better than I could.

Very good explanation, thank you!!
Finally I can explain with words why I hate the front side of his head so much.
