Obnoxious child actors

I cant stand Jamie Bell, I know he is now an adult, but I remember seeing a programme about him, it was a year after Billie Elliot had been out, and by god he was a spoilt little prima-donna, he may of changed now but that spoilt little fecker is all I see when he is on screen.

Its a shame about Jaden Smith.
I wasnt aware that Will followed Scientology, in fact I distinctly remember him saying when asked about it that you dont need to be jewish to be friends with Steven Speilberg, so why would he to be friends with Tom Cruise.

I think Will's definitely go over to the dark side, there's been pictures of him leaving scientology meetings.

On another point anyone watch Cruise and Diaz on Top Gear? I avoided it because I almost certainly would have had to buy a new TV after putting my foot through the screen. Don't believe that he would get the fastest lap time either, its not easy to drive in heels.

That particular publicity train has roared into too many bloody stations. Tour de France? Top Gear? Please just fuck off.

...and take your crappy film with you.

Is there any other kind of child actor other than an obnoxious one?

[Roba Fett]

You'd be hard pressed to find many, but I think Hayley Joel Osment broke that stereotype. He was terrific in The Sixth Sense, AI and Pay It Forward. Not smug, obnoxious or irritating, just very mature performances for one so young. As ever though translating that early on-screen promise now he's come of age is proving tough.

Natalie Portman. Leon.

Even those two I found obnoxious. Portman stopped being obnoxious when she reached 21.

She stopped being obnoxious and became self-important and arrogant.

Who would you say are the most irritating and talentless child actors you've in films. For me it would be:

The young boy from 28 Weeks Later takes top spot.
The whole cast of Dance of the Dead.
And the girl from Aliens.
Maybe the girl from Jurassic Park, but i suppose she does blind terror quite well... the fact thats all she does is irrelevant.
