I think many of these people are ugly, only in comparison with the truly beautiful celebrities.
Take Sarah Jessica Parker for example, she is exceptionally ugly for a leading lady, but if you compare her with the average forty-something woman, you’ll realise she is far more beautiful than average.
I thought Renee Zellweger was pretty in ‘Me, Myself, and Irene’, but kinda weird looking pretty much everywhere else.
Exceptionally cute in “Nurse Betty”.
I wholeheartedly disagree. She’s rather cute in those pictures, and has very pleasing and symmetrical and well-spaced features.
She’d be cuter if she weren’t squinting all the time.
My fat thumbs phrased it wrong. That’s what I meant. Her face is drawn from the weight loss which accentuates her bug eyes. The short hair doesn’t hide her big ears.
SO glad I’m not the only one! I also don’t understand manias surrounding Leonardo DiCaprio or Justin Bieber.
We REALLY need the “barf” smilie other VB fora have.
We do NOT need “barf” smilies here. This is the Dope! If we can’t disgust one another with words alone, we don’t belong here!
So the average forty-something woman looks like a horse?
She looks so much better without makeup! In fact, she looks a lot like the woman a friend of mine married, who is very pretty without makeup.
Whoever the woman was in the video for that horrible “Blurred Lines” song by Robin Thicke. For some reason *GQ Magazine *was obsessed with her, showing her picture in about five straight issues. It was one of many reasons I dropped my GQ subscription after one year.
No, I won’t; not “far”, not “more”, not “beautiful”, not “average”.
You’re forgetting that I’ve seen forty-something women.
I rarely mistake them for Benedict Cumberbatch.
IME / IMO, for many women “coolness” and good-looking are coupled.
So an actor can seem much better looking if he’s playing a cool character (granted, Tom’s acting helped make Loki cool, but my point stands).
Consider also Hugh Laurie (House). He didn’t get much notice from the hunnez most of his career playing likeable, posh dimwits. But make him a brooding, acerbic, genius doctor…
Yup. Chicks dig jerks. Sometimes you can even catch them out admitting it.
FTR I’m not saying that.
I was just talking about coolness and attractiveness.
Certainly the one thing missing from this thread is charisma. Most famous actors have it in excess. When you are only judging looks like in this thread that is overlooked. Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster isn’t very attractive. Hugh Laurie in person or sitting behind a piano oozes charisma.
I really want to post a link to this in the “Stupidity” thread. I’ve heard this a lot before, but it usually turns out that most guys’ definition of “jerk” is “the guy who is shtupping the woman I want to shtup.” Also, in my personal and very specific experience, guys who say this are jerks.
I’m not going to say anymore, because I don’t want to tread on pit territory, but frankly, I think what I’m responding to is pretty offensive to begin with.
No joke. One day I was watching her and it occurred to me that she looked almost exactly like Eric Roberts. That ain’t nothing great.
This is the first one in the list I’m really surprised at. I guess I can see has kinda sharp features now that it’s been mentioned, but personally, I’d wear her like a hockey mask. I find nobody more attractive. (but many at about the same level)
To be fair, they were talking about Hugh Laurie on House, who truly was a colossal jerk.
On the other hand, if we accept that this proves women like jerks, it also proves that they don’t care about money. Women were swooning over the (relatively) penniless Dr. House but wouldn’t give the Prince Regent from Blackadder the Third the time of day.
