10 Actors Who Visibly Hated These Movie Roles
1. January Jones - X-Men: First Class
As terrific as X-Men: First Class generally was, there was a single performance in the movie that was taken to task by critics and fans alike: January Jones' utterly listless, unfussed turn as mutant Emma Frost.
Though Jones did a marvelous job playing put-upon housewife Betty Draper on Mad Men, she basically played Frost like a fembot, completely lacking in anything approaching believable human affect with every single one of her totally flat line readings.
While you can argue this was simply a misguided acting tic on Jones' part, her completely morose mood throughout the film suggests she was only there for the money.
Granted, Jones was forced into an eye-rollingly skimpy collection of outfits to play the part, so you can't really blame her for being a bit pissed off about the blatant sexism of it all, even if she mistakenly let her clear misery define the hollow, soulless performance itself.
