I find this question a little strange.
It seems obvious to me that if viewers stuck to programming with likeable actors (celebrities) there would be little content to choose from.
Part of enjoyable viewing is the ability to suspend one’s disbelief. I do this with actors too.
@ragingloli mentioned Leo DiCaprio. I am able to turn off the part of my mind that knows him as a Left Wing, climate change blowhard and simply enjoy the performance. Being Marty Scorsese’s latest muse doesn’t hurt.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Tom Cruise, yet. Jesus, what a complete FLAKE, Scientologist. Not that every film he has been in is a masterwork and he is only convincing in a narrow field of roles. (I think that Cruise is a control freak IRL and was therefore perfectly cast as one in Michael Mann’s Collateral. Scientologists: Will Smith, John Travolta…
But back to spewing shit from the mouth in the form of politics:
Irony department: Madonna, Susan Sarandon. These idiots publicly criticize the nation that nurtured their success, but even worse, defend states that would have them drawn and quartered for their seductive and sacrilegious image or portrayal of an assertive independent woman.
Roman Polanski… This genius is still at the top of his game. My wife won’t see his films because of past deeds and his evading of justice.

It can play hideous tricks on the brain.”
