I did a Google image search since I didn’t know who that was. HE is considered a hottie? By who? This is very hard to believe.
I think a number of people confuse “famous for performing” with “universally considered attractive”.
I’m sure The Church would frown on any chemical treatment.
Yeah. Zach Gallibloke is not even supposed to be hot in any conventional way.
She looks nothing like the young Queen Mum. She has a long face, high cheekbones and long hair and a different-shaped nose.
Actually, I do look a lot like the young Queen Mum - after it had been pointed out to me several times, for the Facebook ‘post a lookalike as your profile picture’ thing I actually decided to join for once and I had a few comments saying it was a great arty shot of me. And I look nothing like Pippa Middleton (well, maybe bodywise).
I think the Summer Glau love is more down to the roles she plays than her actual looks, which are a bit, well, unusual.
(Inara was by far the hottest on Firefly. In real life, if I met someone who looked like her, I’d be really distracted by how beautiful she is. But she’s destined for Mal).
Maggie Gylenhaal, in the Dark Knight, played a woman that was supposed to be universally revered as hot. Um, no. Not ugly, but not the kind to turn heads as she walks down the street either. That casting was just odd.
Four pages and nobody’s mentioned Reese Witherspoon?

I got some wood seeing her in that one, well, a raging semi anyway. I think she’s a looker, and has a nice bust.
Reese Witherspoon is my Zach Galifianakis – not supposed to be attractive. Joke response! Point and laugh! Good at what they do. But Zach’s brother, yeah I can see it.
Who said Julia Stiles above? Cut your tongue out with soap! She’s smoking hot, a terrific actress, and a sharp cookie IRL to boot. I’d rape the shit out of her.
Maggie Gyllenhaal does it for me too. Something about her eyes and her lips … so sexy.
Yeah. For example:
A few of the names on this list are actresses who are/were widely regarded as sexy, a few are actresses who are/were famous but not necessarily major sex symbols, and one of them is Courtney Love, a woman whose looks have been widely mocked for about 20 years. This probably has as much to do with her personality and style of dress as her actual face or body, and I’m sure there are people who do/did find her attractive, but I don’t think she’s ever been considered a “celebrity hottie” by the general public.
Scott Caan. He’s too short and stocky and his hairstyle looks like he’s covering something up. It doesn’t help that he has to spend a lot of time on screen with Alex O’Loughlin, who on a hotness scale of 1 to 10 is about a 14 and is also half a foot taller. I was really surprised to learn that Caan is only one day older; it seems more like a decade.
“Uh-oh, it’s a combination lock. Looks like I’m just gonna have to cut through it. Good thing I brought Reese Witherspoon’s chin!”
I’m not a Glau fan either, but she was still prettier than Morena Boccarin. I never did understand why they tried to sell her as the pretty one–that was obviously Jewel Staite, the girl they tried to sell as not measuring up to Boccarin’s beauty.
Now, I’ve seen some hotter pics of Boccarin since then, but her attractiveness on Firefly was do to her profession and actions, not her looks.
Nobody else felt this comment was over the line and offensive? Really?

I did. :dubious:
I suppose that I didn’t find it offensive because there is no shortage of people on the Internet who have no concept of anyone consenting to sex with them.
Well the part about cutting your tongue out with soap did seem very extreme. A clue perhaps to a humorous intent.
Snicker.
Simmer down, remark was intended to be over the top, so, kudos for picking up on that subtle intention. Obviously, no one advocates coercing any little actress to mate – where’s the sport? This one does have a pretty interesting academic career as an undergraduate, I remember reading, so I think, and rather vehemently, she should be excluded, from the thread.
Revise opinion of Maggie Gyllenhaal, though – I think word on the street is that she’s not really acclaimed for being hot, so probably doesn’t really belong in the running either.
I do have one, though. Gene Tierney. She I do know, pretty well anecdotally, was touted as Fox’s little moneymaker, and was famous as a beauty. Hot? No, way, cold as ice, fragile-looking, and was really too bad about her personal problems, so, tempering following comment with clemency, she never had got within a step or two of hotness.
I’m in that group and even I thought the comment was out of line.
Maggie Gyllenhaal. There can be no suspension of disbelief in any of her movies because the other actors aren’t allowed to wince when they look at her.
Cameron Diaz. If Jim Carrey had been a woman and was strung out on crack for about a decade he would look like Cameron Diaz… only better.
Jennifer Aniston looks OK sometimes but I am pretty sure she could drive a nail through a railroad tie with her chin.
Obviously it was meant to be over the top. That doesn’t make it less offensive to me, however.
