After our article about Keanu Reeves, it made me think of other big celebrities who are known to do nothing in front of the camera yet get the big paychecks and are even adored by many. Call it envy but good-looking stars are not going to cut it for me if they cannot act to save their rear ends. Speaking of rear ends…
Richard Gere - Yes, I have also heard of that gerbil rumor. This is not about that story. Let us take a look at this overrated and overpaid actor. His success is mostly from how people remembered his co-stars. Pretty Woman is all about Julia Roberts. Primal Fear was all about Edward Norton. Hell, Chicago was all about everything else! All he does is say his lines in the most unconvincing manner and this guy gets soem attention?
Paul Walker - this guy makes Keanu Reeves look like Daniel-Day Lewis. I mean, he is not even trying at all! Have you seen his films? The Fast and the Furious seemed like the perfect film for him to prove that he can outperform some other people. Instead, Vin Diesel got away with his voice. If bad acting was a crime, he would have been a lifer in prison.
Matthew McConaughey - This is what this idiot does in every film: Take off his shirt and speak in a Souther drawl. Girls go ga-ga and he laughs all the way to the bank. Blame those Sexiest Men lists. This guy gets paid for the way he looks and not for his acting. No arguments.
