People Are Sharing The Roles That Turned Them Off Their Actor Crush Forever, And It's Safe To Say I Can Never Look At Them The Same Way Again

Not even Penn Badgley's hotness could survive the Joe Goldberg gig, I'm sorry.

We've all got celeb crushes, and it's no secret that Hollywood is brimming with hotties. But sometimes, an actor — no matter how gorgeous — lands themselves a role that changes the way you look at them forever.

New Line Cinema

In fact, often it's the actor's talent in challenging roles that gives us the permanent ick in the first place. We thought we'd ask members of the BuzzFeed Community which roles their on-screen crush played that put them off the actor forever. Here's what they said:

1. Timothée Chalamet as Willy Wonka in Wonka

Warner Bros.

"Let me be crystal clear here — this is a beautiful man laboring under romantically impossible conditions. He was outrageously handsome in Little Women, and Dune... Don't get me started. The hurdy-gurdy vibes of his new role, though? A little bit harder to crush on, IMO. 

That's not the point of the part, sure, but it has unfortunately ruined my previous fave on-screen crush for good."

2. Simu Liu as Ken in Barbie

Warner Bros.

"I had a huge crush on him until I saw the Barbie movie, but something about him and his attitude in the film really put me off."

Alright Ken, you're on:

3. Colin Firth as Henry Dashwood in What a Girl Wants

Warner Bros.

"This one is so ridiculous — Colin Firth as Henry Dashwood in What a Girl Wants. Why, you ask? Because there's a scene in the movie where he's making a cup of tea, and he puts the milk in first. I'm a Brit myself, and dude, you just don't do that."

—constanvee

"100% agree."

I see where they're coming from. But between you and me, I think I could get over his caffeine crime:

4. Benedict Cumberbatch as Paul Marshall in Atonement

Universal Pictures / Focus Features / StudioCanal

"I couldn’t watch Sherlock because of him!"

5. Michael Cimino as Ethan Morales in Never Have I Ever

Netflix

"I always thought that Michael Cimino was so adorable and cute in Love, Victor, but watching him in Never Have I Ever took the shine off of him for me. Like, yeah, he was suuuper hot, but I think I loved him more as Victor. The bad boy vibe did nothing for me! In fact, it was a bit cringe."

6. Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher in The Crown

Netflix

"I couldn't watch it; it was too confusing."

Look, sometimes someone just does too good a job:

7. Stanley Tucci as George Harvey in The Lovely Bones

Paramount Pictures / DreamWorks Pictures

"There is nothing more attractive than a smart, funny man who loves Italian food. And that hotness saw The Tucc through multiple challenging roles for me. I still wanted his blue-haired self as Caesar Flickerman in The Hunger Games (so charismatic! So perceptive!). I could even get on board with live-action Beauty and the Beast Tucci. But his role in The Lovely Bones... Well, obviously, there was no going back from that."

Here he is in the bone-chilling role:

8. Tobias Menzies as Frank Randall in Outlander

Starz

"Oh my word, I couldn't watch him in anything else for ages because I was so horrified by him."

9. Rami Malek as Tom Voze in Amsterdam

20th Century Studios

"That's the only character of his I DO NOT LIKE at all. (Still love Rami, though!)"

—tanyam44ab2253d

Yep, I'm with them on that one:

10. Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies

Warner Bros.

"I've had a crush on Ralph Fiennes since The English Patient in 1996, and hasn't that just been a rollercoaster! From perfection to Amon Goth, Francis Dolarhyde, Voldemort, etc."

11. Lupita Nyong'o as Adelaide Wilson and Red in Us

Universal Pictures

"She was excellent in this film, but almost too excellent. To the extent that I now always just see her in that red jumpsuit doing that super eerie ballet dance, and it gives me the chills, the bad chills."

—bendzialdowski

Here she is in the role:

12. And Winston Duke as Gabe Wilson and Abraham in Us

Universal Pictures

"This role turned me off him completely. He was so commanding in Black Panther, and then in Us, he was such a doormat. It put me off, to be honest." 

—adaenechi

13. Penn Badgley as Joe in You

Netflix

"Look, my crush on Penn Badgley is enormous — so to put me off him, the role has to be skin-crawlingly, eye-wateringly, jaw-clenchingly creepy. Something as gross as, oh, I don't know, an evil bookstore manager who stalks women and has a literal lady cage. My love was tested and found wanting, what can I say."

I'm sorry, there's no going back from this:
