I’m sure his entire body looks like hell by now. ---

> [@WOOKINPANUBv.2](#): > > Double ugh. He always looks like he’s in character as some boy fop, circa 1782. Which is fine; just don’t cast him as a king or a scifi super hero. Also, and this is ridiculous, but I hate his stupid name and the spelling thereof. He seems… engineered. Like some committee somewhere met to come up with the ultimate pretty boy actor. I can just see the brainstorming session… “He’ll need a baroquely foreign name that everyone can say.” “I know - Timothee! It’s Timothy, but French.” “Excellent!” “He can’t be too masculine or it won’t go with the name. So let’s make him vaguely effete.” “Oooh! Oooh! Let’s give him some of that hideously hard to style, but messy looking hair!” ---

Yeah I remember him up in the tree with Portia de Rossi in _Arrested Development_ and thinking, yeah, he got significanlty worse from the old days, when even back then, as a kid (becoming a guest mini-slob under Oscar’s tutelage in an _Odd Couple_ episode) there were already all kinds of wrong in the little mutie’s face. ---

I’ll put my 2 cents in on Timothee. I first saw him in Call Me By Your Name. UGH! The whole movie was off for me. Haven’t liked him since. ---

Well then if we’re getting into _backpfeifengesicht_ territory, Martin Shkreli’s instantly repugnant visage should not go unmentioned. FFS just trying to _say_ his gross name is, well, gross. My revulsion upon looking at him can sometimes trigger this incredibly strange fluttering sound in my right ear drum (almost sounding like a bee buzzing in my ear) that happens only in shock situations, like a spider suddenly skittering by your face on a pillow. ---
