Top 10 Pretentious Actors


they may think they’re awesome but we
can’t help but roll our eyes at them
alright calm down please oh and wash
away the air welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 pretentious actors this
is James Franco in my house in my
library we’re just taking a look at
actors who sometimes or often take
themselves a little too seriously and
may thus come off a little delusional
about how talented and smart they really
are for the record we’re not saying we
hate these guys I think you need to be
that honest number 10
Russell Brand why I love these heroes so
much why they are so important and I
also want to subtly imply to you that I
am a little bit like them so watch out
for that that’s gonna be fun for you
Katy Perry’s former husband is famous
for playing a stoner in comedies this
makes it all the more strange to see
Russell Brand launched a youtube series
discussing politics and trashing the
media is interesting which until then we
good infidels meaning that she regards
them as infidels which means unclean
disconnected from God
don’t try and count a religious
extremism with religious extremism of
course most of his beliefs are viewed as
unconventional and a bit off like when
he compared FoxNews to Isis and urged
the British not to vote
she’s the Savage she’s totally spouting
savage values considering he’s a former
heroin and sex addict it’s even harder
for some fans to perceive him as an
intellectual and not a buffoon I’ll
email but first thing you can say
whatever is going on here and it’s to do
with pedophiles legacy they’re not as
important as a family holiday that can
be purchased for 25 pounds number 9
Russell Crowe exactly what’s the
difference between genius and most
genius quite a lot there’s no denying
that Russell Crowe is a great actor who
has starred in some amazing films like
gladiator and A Beautiful Mind
what am I now that’s fine however that
does not excuse crow from being a
complete jerk when he’s in public peers
have no choice throughout his career the
actor has built a reputation of being
rude short-tempered and difficult to
work with so much the glory of Rome
an example of his attitude was the time
he was arrested for assault for throwing
a phone at a hotel employee in 2005 yep
Russell Crowe is definitely someone who
needs to learn to chill out and I will
have my vengeance in this life or the
next
number eight James Franco James Franco
has proven himself to be a bit of a
Renaissance man
he’s a versatile actor university
teacher artist poet and philanthropist
and he’s also been considered one of the
sexiest men alive I don’t know man that
guy’s going crazy so maybe it’s
understandable that he might be a little
bit full of himself from time to time
mama’s pussy was the canvas your dad’s
dick was the paintbrush boom you’re the
art huh thanks James Franco but still it
just seems like he has to be the best at
everything to be satisfied he also made
a short film of himself making out with
a mirror you might be handsome James but
you’re not the fairest one of all
number seven Johnny Depp
where did you get that Johnny Depp is
not on this list so much for his
off-screen antics as he is for his
on-screen ones well well
Jack Sparrow isn’t it Captain Jack
Sparrow in pretty much every role he’s
in he’s playing the quirky but likeable
hero you will always remember this is
the day that you almost caught Captain
Jack that’s not to say we don’t love
Sweeney Todd and Jack Sparrow but his
shtick has gotten a little stale by now
not sure it isn’t we get it Johnny
you’re unique now maybe try starring in
a movie that doesn’t require you to call
attention to how strange you are me I’m
dishonest and a dishonest man you can
always trust me this one is number six
Joaquin Phoenix
your Emperor asked for your loyalty
Maximus take my hand I only offered once
Joaquin Phoenix was once considered one
of the best and most respected actors in
Hollywood did what I have today that all
changed in 2009 when he had one of the
most bizarre interviews ever with David
Letterman where he looked like he’d gone
completely insane what can you tell us
about your days with the Unabomber
Phoenix revealed that the entire
interview was a hoax and just a
publicity stunt for his upcoming movie
and I was looking for a beatdown and I
got one despite it being a prank
Phoenix garnered a reputation for being
someone who took his work a little too
seriously
number five Matthew McConaughey all
right all right all right Matthew
McConaughey has a lot to feel good about
himself for see where you go he’s a sex
symbol and he’s been getting almost
every great role as of late which has
made him one of the most recognizable
faces in Hollywood these days the park
is open 24/7 365 every decade every
goddamn century that’s it
however from his roles in self-indulgent
movies like interstellar and the wolf of
Wall Street to that cringe-inducing
Lincoln car commercial the conahey seems
a bit too satisfied with himself now
don’t you get it yet – and that beings
they’re us
but hey at least he’s not always running
around shirtless and showing off his abs
anymore
or is he sometimes you gotta go back to
actually move forward number four Jared
Leto Bobo Cupid relax I don’t buy it
between his Jesus slash long-haired look
veganism method acting and emo music
with thirty Seconds to Mars Jared Leto
seems like he really wants you to know
what a deep and great artist he is
and while he’s shown that he has both
acting and musical talent it’s hard to
take Leto seriously when you consider
that he first became famous for starring
in the teen drama my so-called life
I don’t like have any real interest in
you or anything you know Silva stop
saying on it let out is definitely
someone who needs to stop trying so hard
I appreciate your honesty
number three Gwyneth Paltrow you must be
the famous Pepper Potts
indeed I am we could easily make a whole
top-ten list for all the pretentious
things Gwyneth Paltrow has said and done
incredibly close to the common woman and
that I am a woman and I’m a mother and
we all are in a physical body with
beating hearts with compassion from her
referring to her divorce as a conscious
uncoupling to saying things like I would
rather die than let my kids eat cuppa
soup and I can’t pretend to be someone
who makes 25 grand a year the former
mrs. Chris Martin has developed a
reputation for being a spoiled princess
who is obsessed with appearing perfect
look happy oh and do not get us started
on her lifestyle newsletter goop when
when people make that false assumption
it’s because they haven’t actually gone
to the site and see what we’re selling
number two
Shia LaBeouf do it
Shia LaBeouf once seemed like a
down-to-earth kid he’s now turned into a
lackluster actor and a great narcissist
just do it don’t let your dreams be
dreams to show how famous he is Shia
once wore a bag on his head with the
words I am NOT famous anymore written on
it to a movie premiere in Berlin
then there are his motivational just do
it videos on YouTube that are meant to
inspire do it yes you can
just do it kind of hard to be inspired
by a guy who was arrested for yelling
obscenities while at a Broadway musical
when you agree sure you’re headed keep
on that
Shia we want any job before we unveil
our number one pick here are some
honorable or in this case dishonorable
mentions huge character person actually
have a character lounge in my basement
I’ll go to that alone i case you have a
karaoke lounge in your base yeah with
disco balls and write Japanese business
drinking glumly Oh
there’s duct tape downstairs go
downstairs and give the duct tape I
can’t mommy I can’t okay it’s okay
III really am NOT gonna fit into the
characteristic funny
everybody’s funny tonight number one
Sean Penn there’s a mental health
problem in Congress now Sean Penn might
be a good actor but he also seems to
think he could be a great politician at
least he certainly made it known that
he’s got political views and strong ones
at that
George Tennant and Dick Cheney and
Condoleezza Rice and George Bush at all
should be in jail whether he’s calling
for George W Bush to be impeached or
writing to the creators of South Park
about a message they were sending about
voting pen has very often used his fame
to impose his opinion on everyone else
the letter was basically like how dare
you do you realize that you could swing
this next election you could actually
this movie could actually make it so
that and we’re like it’s a puppet movie
dude we’re not trying to sway anyone
it’s like when I try to sway the
election whether you agree or disagree
with him it’s hard not to find Sean
Penn’s constant need to speak his mind
pretentious nobody’s actually taking
advantage of the diversity in this
country so why are we celebrating it we
should be actually activating it and
when you go to a place like Hitty you
just can smell humanity more than you
can hear where you’re smelling the next
day’s profit do you agree with our list

most pretentious actor and how do you
