These 25 Actors Have Zero Haters

1-25

Nazarii Verbitskiy Nazarii Verbitskiy
TV Shows & Movies - April 21st 2026, 22:00 GMT+2
Peter Dinklage

25. Peter Dinklage

What makes Peter Dinklage so easy to root for is that he never seems interested in coasting on admiration. The wit that made Tyrion Lannister unforgettable came with real emotional weight, and outside that role he has carried the same sharp, unsentimental intelligence into everything from indies to big fantasy projects. He gives off the rare impression of being both fiercely talented and fully aware of how silly fame can be. | © HBO

Tom Holland

24. Tom Holland

Superhero fame usually comes with some exhaustion attached to it, yet Tom Holland has managed to dodge most of that by seeming genuinely enthusiastic every single time he shows up. Long before Spider-Man, he was already performing onstage in Billy Elliot, and that physicality still gives his screen work a restless, likable energy. He feels less like a manufactured star and more like a talented kid who somehow never lost the excitement. | © Marvel Studios

Hannibal

23. Mads Mikkelsen

A lot of actors can play dangerous, but Mads Mikkelsen makes danger look elegant, which is probably why audiences keep following him from Casino Royale to Hannibal and Another Round. The funny part is that the off-screen image never feels remotely menacing; it is more like watching a perfectly polite art-house vampire wander into a blockbuster and quietly steal it. That contrast has kept him admired even when he is cast as the guy ruining everyone’s day. | © NBC

Ana de Armas

22. Ana de Armas

Ana de Armas has the kind of screen presence that makes a crowded movie suddenly feel built around her. Knives Out turned that into a full breakout, and No Time to Die proved she could walk into a Bond film for a short stretch and leave people wishing the movie had given her twice as much to do. That combination of glamor, warmth, and ease tends to buy a lot of goodwill very quickly. | © MGM

Daniel Radcliffe

21. Daniel Radcliffe

Escaping a role as massive as Harry Potter should have been a career trap, but Daniel Radcliffe turned it into a strange and charming second act. Instead of chasing obvious prestige, he went toward stage work, oddball films, and projects that seemed chosen by curiosity rather than panic, which made people respect him even more. Winning a Tony for Merrily We Roll Along only reinforced the sense that he is here for the craft, not the brand maintenance. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Jack Black

20. Jack Black

Pure commitment covers a lot of ground, and nobody commits to a bit with more joy than Jack Black. Whether he is fronting Tenacious D, teaching chaos in School of Rock, or turning animated roles into spectacles, he gives everything the same all-in, slightly unhinged enthusiasm. People tend to forgive a lot when an actor seems like he is having the time of his life and wants the audience in on the joke. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Robin Williams

19. Robin Williams

Plenty of comedians are loved, but Robin Williams reached a different level because the speed and chaos were always matched by sincerity. He could go from manic improvisation to a scene that hit like a punch to the chest, and films like Good Will Hunting made clear how much depth was sitting beneath the fireworks. Even now, the affection around him feels less like nostalgia and more like gratitude. | © Phase 4 Films

Helen Mirren

18. Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren has spent decades doing something many actors never quite master: being dignified without becoming dull. One minute she is bringing emotional precision to The Queen, the next she is tossing off a wicked line reading that reminds you she understands camp, vanity, and human absurdity better than most. That mix of authority and mischief makes admiration come very easily. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Idris Elba

17. Idris Elba

Cool is usually a dangerous thing to build a persona around, because it can slide into distance, but Idris Elba rarely feels remote. The authority he brought to The Wire and Luther made him magnetic, yet there has always been enough humor and self-awareness in his public image to keep that gravitas from becoming stiffness. He moves like a movie star, but the appeal comes from how little he seems to need to prove it. | © Marvel Studios

Dev Patel

16. Dev Patel

There is a quiet sincerity to Dev Patel that has followed him from Skins to Slumdog Millionaire and well beyond it. He has grown into one of those actors who can make intelligence, vulnerability, and intensity sit in the same performance without any visible strain. Audiences usually respond well to someone who looks like he is still chasing better work instead of chasing a cooler image. | © Bankside Films

Patrick Stewart

15. Patrick Stewart

Some reputations are built on greatness, others on warmth, and Patrick Stewart somehow ended up with both. Shakespeare training, Star Trek, X-Men, and that unmistakable voice already made him a legend, but the lasting affection comes from how game he has always been about everything around the legend. He carries himself like a knighted classical actor and still seems delighted to be loved by nerds on the internet. | © Apple

Keanu Reeves Matrix

14. Keanu Reeves

At this point, Keanu Reeves almost exists in his own celebrity category: too famous to be underrated, too consistently decent-seeming to attract the usual backlash cycle. The career itself helps, of course, because The Matrix and John Wick turned him into an action monument, but the affection goes beyond filmography. He gives off the energy of someone who would rather keep working than keep curating a myth, which only makes the myth stronger. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Cropped Emilia Clarke

13. Emilia Clarke

The easiest way to become overexposed after Game of Thrones would have been leaning too hard on the icon status, but Emilia Clarke’s public image has always felt warmer and looser than that. She became globally famous as Daenerys, yet what people often seem to remember most is the humor, openness, and lack of diva energy that came with the fame. Stardom sticks better when the person wearing it seems refreshingly human. | © HBO

Morgan Freeman

12. Morgan Freeman

The voice helped, obviously, because it can make almost anything sound like carved wisdom, but Morgan Freeman’s reputation was never built on narration alone. What people respond to is the calm authority, the dry humor, and the sense that he can steady a film simply by walking into frame. When an actor makes gravitas look effortless for that long, affection starts to feel almost automatic. | © Highland Film Group

Cropped Denzel Washington Malcolm X

11. Denzel Washington

Respect is a different currency from likability, and Denzel Washington has always had both. The performances carry force whether he is playing a hero, a villain, or somebody hovering dangerously between the two, and two Oscars only underline how reliable that excellence has been. There is also something deeply appealing about a star who never seems desperate for approval because he already earned it years ago. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Brendan Fraser

10. Brendan Fraser

Few public comebacks have landed with as much genuine feeling as Brendan Fraser’s. People already had affection for the adventurous, slightly goofy charm of The Mummy years, and then The Whale brought back the actor with all the bruising life experience visible on the surface. What could have turned sentimental ended up feeling deeply earned, which is usually the difference between applause and real love. | © Paramount Pictures

Samuel L Jackson

9. Samuel L. Jackson

Nobody turned righteous irritation into a form of movie-star charm quite like Samuel L. Jackson. He can shout, threaten, narrate, joke, or take over an entire blockbuster with one stare, and somehow the larger-than-life attitude has never pushed audiences away. Maybe it works because the swagger is backed by decades of great work, so even the loud version of Samuel L. Jackson feels earned rather than performed. | © Marvel Studios

Hugh Jackman

8. Hugh Jackman

Being famous for Wolverine could have locked Hugh Jackman into one lane forever, but he never let the claws define the whole career. He could do action, musicals, awards-season drama, and live performance with the same eager professionalism, which made him feel more like an old-school entertainer than a franchise prisoner. That versatility, plus the general sense that he enjoys performing for people, has kept him easy to like for a very long time. | © Marvel Studios

Marvel Universe Chadwick Boseman

7. Chadwick Boseman

Chadwick Boseman carried himself with a kind of quiet gravity that made admiration come naturally. Even before Black Panther turned him into a cultural landmark, he had already built a strong screen identity through roles like Jackie Robinson and James Brown, playing icons without flattening them into museum pieces. The legacy remains powerful because the talent was obvious, but so was the dignity. | © Marvel Studios

Rick Moranis

6. Rick Moranis

There is something almost impossible to resent about Rick Moranis because his whole screen identity was built around turning anxious awkwardness into comedy gold. Then he stepped back from Hollywood for years to raise his children after his wife’s death, which only deepened the public affection around him instead of weakening it. In an industry full of loud exits and louder comebacks, that kind of quiet decency leaves a mark. | © Walt Disney Pictures

Maggie Smith

5. Maggie Smith

Maggie Smith had the rare ability to make a line sound both perfectly elegant and faintly devastating. Long before Harry Potter and Downton Abbey introduced her to newer audiences, she had already built a towering career on wit, precision, and that look suggesting she had measured the room and found it mildly disappointing. The affection stayed strong because the sharpness never canceled out the warmth underneath it. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Jackie Chan

4. Jackie Chan

A global action star who made pain look funny is always going to inspire a special kind of devotion. Jackie Chan’s appeal was never just the martial-arts precision; it was the physical comedy, the willingness to look foolish, and the stunt work that made every set piece feel half genius, half terrible idea. When the Academy gave him an Honorary Award, it felt less like a surprise than a formal acknowledgment of what audiences had known for decades. | © Netflix

Danny De Vito

3. Danny DeVito

Danny DeVito feels like proof that chaos and charm can occupy the exact same body. He made Taxi unforgettable, kept popping up in films and television with scene-stealing menace or comedy, and also built a serious producing résumé behind the camera, which gives his career an extra layer of respect. The result is a public image that feels scrappy, funny, and weirdly wholesome all at once. | © Notorious Pictures

Willem Dafoe

2. Willem Dafoe

Here is the funny part: Willem Dafoe has one of the most delightfully unsettling faces in cinema, yet people seem to adore him anyway. Maybe it is because the career has been so fearless, moving from Platoon to The Florida Project to Poor Things without ever sanding down the oddness that makes him special. He plays unstable men, saints, monsters, and weirdos with the same conviction, and somehow that total commitment has made him one of the most beloved actors alive. | © Focus Features

Tom Hanks

1. Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks built one of the strongest reputations in Hollywood by making decency feel cinematic rather than bland. The everyman persona was always doing real work, whether in comedy or drama, and the back-to-back Oscars for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump turned that likability into something close to institutional. Entire generations grew up treating him as the face of trustworthiness, which is not a bad place to live as a movie star. | © Paramount Pictures

1-25

Fame usually comes with backlash sooner or later, which is why this kind of list feels almost suspicious. The actors here have spent years, sometimes decades, in the public eye without becoming the internet’s favorite punching bag. No endless eye-rolling, no exhausted public backlash, no reputation collapse people keep recycling for clicks. In Hollywood, staying this widely liked for this long is its own kind of rare.
