Which celebrities who are generally considered to be attractive do you find seriously unattractive? I have two nominations that spring to mind **Jorja Fox** - face like a frying pan and such an annoying cadence and inflection to her speech, and **Jennifer Garner**. Several times while watching Juno, I almost recoiled from the screen when they showed close-ups of her face. She’s all angles and stretchy lips. On the male side, **Colin Farrell** and **Matthew McConaughey** - mostly their facial expressions, I just want to slap the smirk off their arrogant faces. Anyway, who icks you out and why? ---

Bruce Willis and Jack Nicholson, even when they were younger. I hate smirkers. ---

One above all. I just can’t fathom why Angelina Jolie is thought of as a beauty. She has such heavy features, I just can’t see the attraction. (I’m male BTW). ---

Angelina Jolie. Her lips are entities vying for their own zip code. Kim Cattrall (sp?), but then, I’m not much into blondes. Michelle Pfeiffer, Kathleen Turner, ditto. ---

Julia Roberts. I don’t think she’s ugly, and I’m sure she’s energetic and vivacious and all those other wonderful lively adjectives. I just don’t get how people think she’s beautiful — that smile is all gums. ---

I almost started a thread like this earlier this, inspired by a movie trailer featuring Jessica Alba. Not that I’d call her unattractive or ugly–she’s not–but I do not understand the praises sung in her name. She’s cute, I’d say, or would be if she ate a freaking hambuger every once in a while. But her face is pretty ordinary, and done up as a blond Susan Storm she was …well, I’ll be nice and say the look was unwisely chosen. ---

Jennifer Anniston: as someone once mentioned, she has a face like a carved ham. Kirsten Dunst: wake the fuck up! Helena Bonham Carter: a forehead large enough to show her own movies on. Keira Knightly: give her a short haircut and she’d look like Gomer Pyle. ---

[QUOTE=Asimovian] I’ll also add my vote for Jolie to this list. [/QUOTE] Thirded. I really, really don’t understand the appeal. I also don’t like how it’s almost cliche for heterosexual females to say how gorgeous they find her, and how they’d definitely go gay for her. ---

Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, other women I consider “horse-faced”: Mariah Carey, Kathleen Turner, Carly Simon. What is it with that look? I think it’s very unappealing. My husband thinks Elizabeth Taylor is ugly, even in movies in her 20s and 30s. Like _Cat on a Hot Roof_, when most people thought she was the example of beauty. ---

[QUOTE=Astroboy14] [Sarah Jessica Parker.](http://www.sarahjessicaparkerlookslikeahorse.com/) [sup] **Fish** , pistols at dawn![/sup] [/QUOTE] We had a thread a few months back about how SJP can be very pretty or very ugly depending on how she’s photographed. Many people (including myself) agreed. It’s funny how that this thread comes, since I was just talking to a friend of mime about the new young actress Disney is hoping to become the next Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato. Seriously, Google both her and her friend and fellow star Selena Gomez and tell me which one is cuter. Chances are it’s gonna be the one without the deformed chin and weird wrinkles when she smiles. ---

[QUOTE=Chefguy] Helena Bonham Carter: a forehead large enough to show her own movies on. [/QUOTE] How do you feel about Christina Ricci, who I swear has an eight-head whenever I see her without bangs? I’m with all y’all on Angelina Jolie – I don’t see what all the hoopla is about. Benicio del Toro, check. _dons asbestos suit_ George Clooney. I’ve never seen what the big deal about him is, either, but a friend explained to me that the attraction for her is his voice. Like a motorcycle that runs on caramel, she said. ---

And following the Angelina Jolie thing, sez Wikipedia: _Jolie has said in interviews that she is bisexual and has long acknowledged that she had a sexual relationship with her Foxfire co-star Jenny Shimizu, “I would probably have married Jenny if I hadn’t married my husband. I fell in love with her the first second I saw her.”_ > **[Angelina Jolie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jolie)** > > Angelina Jolie (/dʒoʊˈliː/; born Angelina Jolie Voight; June 4, 1975) is an American actress, filmmaker and humanitarian. The recipient of numerous accolades, including an Academy Award and three Golden Globe Awards, she has been named Hollywood's highest-paid actress multiple times. > Jolie made her screen debut as a child alongside her father, Jon Voight, in Lookin' to Get Out (1982). Her film career began in earnest a decade later with the low-budget production Cyborg 2 (1993), followed by... So I’m thinking, ‘If Angelina can have _anybody,_ this Jenny Shimizu must be a knockout.’ Here’s a picture; I am so not seeing the babe-itude.

[QUOTE=Chefguy] Kirsten Dunst: wake the fuck up! [/QUOTE] There is something seriously…mannered about this woman. It isn’t just the looks which do it for me, it’s how she carries herself, vocal inflections, mannerisms, etc. which ultimately makes the difference. Dunst just seems very stiff and lifeless on screen, completely unnatural, even if she has an attractive-ish round face. She just seems incapable of injecting anything substantial into whatever role she is playing, and that lack of vitality is a big turnoff. ---
