Psychologists are finding that our social intuition can be very accurate—in certain situations, we pick up a remarkable amount of information about someone's personality or skills in just a few seconds.
But that's not always the case, as Princeton University researcher Dr. Alexander Todorov discovered that even different images of the same person can create drastically different first impressions.
So to test our preferences, Reddit user Brody0628 made a post on the platform, asking: "What is a celebrity everyone loves but you think is insufferable? And why?" Here are the most upvoted answers they've received so far.

Jennifer Lopez …so tired of hearing about her ever changing love life. So many stories as well about what a rude diva she is.
Always been Justin Timberlake and finally that tide has turned. I feel so seen after all these years. HES ALWAYS BEEN THE WORST

Letting Janet Jackson take the fall for that superbowl show and have it ruin her career was such a low blow. And tarnishing Britney's reputation to boost his own career. And this is just personal bias but he always has the most unpleasant look on his face and there is like this dead look in his eyes
Jerry Seinfeld So many people seem to love him, and his show was wildly successful, but I can’t stand him at all.

Plus, he dated a teenager when he was in his late thirties. Eww.
Leonardo Dicaprio he seems like such a creep and his he is such a liar when it comes to his stance on climate change.
Jimmy Fallon. He just seems so fake and over the top. Not every guest on your talk show can be so funny you have to slap the desk and yell over them in excitement. You can only break so many times in SNL sketches before it becomes a gimmick. The late night hosts had an amazing podcast during the strike called Strike Force Five and you can really tell how much weaker he is than the rest of them.
Dakota Johnson.
A nepo baby that just doesn’t have the talent to back it up.
I’m a huge Madam Web fan, and I’m not seeing the movie purely because I know she’ll annoy me.
I can't stand Kevin Hart. He's not funny, and his stand-up shows are forced laughter in a nutshell
Timothy Chalamet. I don’t get the hype. And there’s just something about him that irritates me
Vin Diesel - he just sounds so monotone and I don’t think he’s a great actor or even hot. Sorry not sorry
MrBeast. Something about him rubs me the wrong way, and his fanbase who goes after anyone with the slightest criticism doesn't help any
Insufferable is too strong a word but I suspect that Steve Irwin is much more loved outside of Australia (where I am from) than in it. Before he died a lot of people found him a bit much, a bit of a caricature and thought he was bothering the animals (rather than observing them from afar, undisturbed). I’ll probably get a lot of downvoted for saying that. It seems like he is basically the greatest person to ever live to many Americans.
Bring on the downvotes, but... I've never liked Jennifer Aniston. She just seems fake and whiney to me.
Bill Murray. I don’t hate him but for some reason the internet thinks he is God’s gift to comedy. He’s alright but he’s nowhere close to the idol that the internet makes him out to be.
Drew Barrymore
u/Ashton_Garland
She was chill in my books for a while but the minute she crossed the picket line during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike it was game over for me. Also stop being so weirdly touchy with people, it comes off as fake.
Dwayne Johnson. He was kinda charming at first, but now he seems like a corporate shill with everything he does
Fred Armisen. Of that SNL era I like pretty much everyone else, he just deeply skeevs me out for some reason.
Johnny Depp, I think he's overhyped. Used to be a fan but the last decade he lost his shine for me.
