Why he might be annoying:

His nicknames were 'The King of the Movies' and 'The Handsomest Man in the World.'
He married four times and divorced three times.

The discovery of his marriage is probably what led his career to take a nose-dive.
He was very short and often had to stand on a box to do scenes.
His agent, Harry Reichenbach, made him seem more popular than he really was. It worked getting him cast as Messala in 'Ben Hur: A Tale of Christ (1926).'
He appeared in serial films later in his career, such as 'The Three Musketeers (1933)' and 'Dick Tracy (1937).'
In the 40's and 50's, he appeared in many films portraying himself.
His son, Richard Stansbury Bushman, changed his name to 'Bayne' and committed suicide in 1957.

Why he might not be annoying:

He was awarded an honorary Golden Globe (1960).

Clark Gable eventually adapted the nickname 'King of the Movies.'
