acts weird during compliments

i just find it awkward and fake when she does that

Thank god I am not the only one... I also cringe when she said "I love the british public"... I generally cringe when she acts up for the camera

shes a total actress. def cringe.

wait for the column when she gets out.. rip the house to pieces!

I cringe when she does a lot of things, this being one of them.

I hate when she rant's, she tries to come across as if she is saying something clever, but it's just rambling.

It's probably the most cringe-worthy thing she does

I wonder how she got wooed into three affairs

... those married blokes told her what a slack-faced nasty old shrew she was, did they ?



She's such a bullsh***r

It's tough to watch. So, so fake. She's got this script in her head she's playing out, and the whole "allow a softer side to shine through but act like you're desperately trying to hide it" is one of the worst parts.

Also the stupid baby faces she pulls and crazy-eyes glances she makes. Ugh!

I could understand you anti Hopkins people seeing her not liking to get compliments as being "fake" if she actively courted compliments only to then seem to reject them....but she doesn't ask for compliments and clearly isn't used to them.

Maybe you guys are ego maniacs and expect compliments all the time, but she doesn't.

You wanna see fake, watch Pricey pretend that she "only wants to make friends" in the house.

The "I can't take a compliment" thing was hard enough to watch once, but I think we've seen it half a dozen times. Very cringey acting.

I hate her baby faces even more though. I feel like there's a subtext of "check me out, I'm beyond sexy." Ick.

What? We're talking about the weird faces she pulls and how she acts when she is complimented. No sane person reacts so oddly to receiving a compliment. Nothing to do with egos.

Makes me think of the film, 'Big'

Tom Hanks, being the great actor he is, played it perfectly, with subtlety and finesse ... played the part as if he were a child

Then came the sequel with that bloke from Beverley Hills Cop

He was rubbish ... he played the part as if he were an adult pretending to be a kid ... as if kids act like imbeciles

That's Hopkins ... doing her 'impression' of being childlike ... but coming across as an imbecile

She lacks subtlety ... she lacks finesse ... she lacks humour ... she lacks intelligence

I could go on, but lets just say she's lacking

No I don't find it fake, on the contrary, it seems to be one of the few times when her mask slips.

People who are as nasty as her often have low esteem issues, and so do people who have never had compliments growing up.

I wondered about that when Keith told her he was disappointed with her and she snapped back "that's something my father would say" but looked quite taken aback at Keith...his comment got through to her.

Lots of things she does show a need to want to prove herself as strong and capable. The compliments tend to come when she acts in a nice way and nice to her seems to be a weakness she doesn't want to accept in herself.

Yeah, it'd be like if I went for a walk down the shops tomorrow, saw somebody I hadn't seen for a while and they said, "you're looking well" and all of a sudden I started going, "ooooohhh no, no compliments! teehee. Keep it to yourself please. I'm just going to run over here now, byeeeee!" whilst shuddering and hunching over in embarrassment.

They'd look at me and think I was a ****ing nutcase.

Haha exactly I mean I know people who blush and get embarrassed when complimented but never like Hopkins who turns it into a show.

haha brilliant.

I think she's just socially awkward.

Autism?

Her well trained hand gestures annoy me more when she does that out arm sweeping motion to get her point across in the diary room... I read she looked up to the the bully style sergeant when she did her army "training"....you know the ones who have all the troop shaking in their shoes... and who pick out all weaknesses and physical deformities to shame, now who do we know does that sort of thig

I cringe when she raises her eyebrow in a really contrived way when someone says something she disagrees with

the teacher you hated at school who made you sweat.. she loves it..

It is awkward and fake because it is fake. It's as if she has learnt to act how to behave when complimented. It's what people with brain disorders sometimes do. If you can't emote and be genuine, read the situation and act it out.

I hate when she says she loves the British public. She makes a living out of slagging off the British public. In fact the people who are voting for her are the very people she tears apart daily. Its quite laughable really

If you really wanted to make KH squirm, just 'love bomb' her. She'd have a meltdown.

I don't think she's acting. I think she's just weird!

Watch her, watch how she is working hard to read the situation. Reading situations is a technique that is taught to.certain people. She has definitely been taught or studied this.

Spot on, I am like that, I blush with compliments and because I get embarrassed I certainly would not start acting up to bring more attention to myself. The pretend crying when Perez was reading out his nomination for her - how stupid was that. And what was that voice she did when Callum said something nice about her, it was a very low thank you fozzy bear voice. Stupid woman
