Emma McIntyre / Getty ImagesFamous people make up an estimated 0.000086% of the population. Yet even in this minuscule percentage, there are STILL people who are completely and utterly untalented.For us painfully average, non-famous people, Reddit user u/MinDexterity provided an outlet for us to complain about these overrated celebs, asking the internet, "Which celebrity is surprisingly bad at the thing they're famous for?" People did NOT hold back, so here are a few examples:
Note: These are other people's opinions, not necessarily my own. If your favorite celeb is on here, don't shoot the messenger, please. 🙏
1. "Jennifer Lopez."2. "The most obvious one — Taylor Swift. Besides the fact that she is the epitome of basic, her singing and dancing are on par with your average high school talent show. Excellent marketer though."

9. "Gal Gadot, arguably the worst actress ever. Every single one of her roles has her sounding the same. It seems like she has no versatility."

Chloe Productions / TPW Films12. "George Lucas. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Star Wars (or Indiana Jones), and he's very talented and in many ways a creative genius. He's written some infamous dialogue, though, made some truly hated characters, and made some truly weird and poor decisions. He's one of the richest men in Hollywood, and it amuses me cause he basically specced into the right stuff and has managed it, just fumbling sometimes."

Carlo Allegri / Getty Images20. "Bill Nye never earned a PHD or worked as a research scientist. He was a Boeing employee-turned-comedian. He is also kind of a jerk."

Paul Harris / Getty ImagesFinally:24. "Donald Trump. The answer is always Donald Trump."
