I’ve literally never heard one male admit they drooled over Paris Hilton. Too uncool to do so I guess. Objectively, she’s cute. I like how she hasn’t had a boob job when she plainly is very skinny all over and certainly has the means to get one. and she was just out and out hot in Repo! The Genetic Opera!
As several people have mentioned, it’s hard to discuss the attractiveness of actors and actresses. They’re living in a system where outstanding attractiveness is standard.
It’s like talking about professional athletes. We can argue that Tim Tebow is a bad quarterback. Obviously, by real world standards, that’s ridiculous - if you ranked all the people in the world by their quarterbacking skills, Tebow would be in the top millionth percentile. But it’s also true that he’s a bad quarterback - by the standards that exist in the NFL. Being in the top millionth by real world standards doesn’t make you good enough to be in the NFL.
Same thing with actresses. I can say Jessica Biel is below average in appearance for an actress while acknowledging she would be one of the most attractive women I knew if I knew her in real life.
I really wouldn’t know who Kim Kardashian was if I ran into her on the street. But I looked for some old pics. She’s Hella Cute I would have dated that girl in an instance.
She decided to become another Hollywood hatrack, and lost way too much weight.
My three are:
- Benedict Cumberbatch: The man looks like a goat.
- Brad Pitt: Poofy lips and always looks like he needs a shower.
- Benecio del Toro: People think he’s sexy? At least with Benadryl Cummerbund and Brad Pitt I can kinda see it (and BC has a voice to die for, so there’s that, at least). With del Toro…ugh. He looks like a dirty serial killer.
The best thing about Schwimmer is that he is a fantastic talent. I never thought much of him when I saw him on Friends. But then I saw him in a few other shows including HBO’s Band of Brothers and he has the rare ability (like Meryl Streep) to become a chameleon and change his entire persona to portray different characters.
Seems to me that most successful actors are like Jack Nicholson. They have very interesting personalities and no matter what part they play, they just present as their same personality. It’s usually very interesting and they make excellent movies. But it takes real talent to do what Meryl Streep and Schwimmer and several other actors do.
Unfortunately, those chameleon type actors are very rare. There are way too few of them in Hollywood.
The only thing I would disagree with is Aniston’s legs. She has the most beautiful legs of most any actress in Hollywood. Did you ever see Derailed? There is a scene where she is sitting on a train and I have watched that scene many times just to drool over her beautiful legs.
For anyone who is interested, I think there are a few factors that have to be present in order for a woman to have beautiful legs. One of these is the kneecap. If the kneecap is pronounced, it is sexy and attractive. But most women just seem to have a rounded kneecap and you can’t really tell where the kneecap begins and ends. It’s just as if there is no kneecap.
The term “cankles” describes women whose ankles just seem to be part of their calf and the ankles are not at all pronounced. There must be a similar term for kneecaps that just seem to be a prat of the upper leg. It is usually the case in obese women. But many fit women also seem to suffer from the same condition.
I could never be attracted to any women with ugly legs. I guess legs have always been my most favorite part of a woman’s anatomy.
When you dismiss an entire group of people, that’s prejudiced. I’m African American and I find that most American White women (and almost all those of Asian descent) have inadequate posteriors and very thin and unsexy lips. Now does that mean that I wouldn’t be able to find something attractive about them?
Hell no.
That’s why I think that anyone who casually dismisses an entire group of people for specious reasons is, at best prejudiced. Also, “European looking” is simply ridiculous. Having spent several years in Europe, I can state that with the exception of Poland and former Soviet states, most European women are far less attractive than American women, in part, because they are largely “unmixed” between their ethnicities. Or with other races.
Also,while I wouldn’t say that Helen Mirren is the “hottest” actress who has ever lived ( a young Ava Gardner before she succumbed to alcoholism might best fit that role) if Ms. Mirren ever gets tired of Franco Nero and wants to give me a call…I’d drop everything and come running.
I think Lucy Liu is average and Sandra Oh below average, and they both get “bumped up” because they’re Asian.
I’ve never seen Derailed. There’s an episode in the final season of Friend’s titled “The One Where Rachel’s Sister Babysits” that you may enjoy. Aniston’s later years on the show, she’s a bit skinny, but her legs are still quite pleasant. Besides, the eps with Applegate guest-starring are very funny.
I believe it’s Vanessa Redgrave who’s with Franco Nero. Helen Mirren is married to director Taylor Hackford.
If reports are true, both those relationships are decades-long. (Quite an achievement in the entertainment industry!)
I haven’t heard this. Most people love her genuine attitude, that she views her success and fame and good luck realistically and doesn’t take it for granted, while also having fun with it. Couple this with a pretty, girl-next-door look, and you have someone who every woman wants to be, and every guy wants to be with*.
*Obviously not actually everyone
I stand corrected yet again.
Here I was blaming Mr. Nero for standing between me and my dream (obsession?)
Yup. In 20 years he’ll be the white Edward James Olmos.
She always looks like the has horribly misshapen fake breasts. Pretty much nothing turns me off faster the fake boobs, and oddly shaped ones actively repel me.
Yup, never thought she was all that. Was a major WTF moment for me when she made the top of some list.
Although usually women of her type drive me wild, my interest in Kerry Washington is a complete flatline. Even I’m not sure why.
The female stars of “Friends” were and are totally unsexy to me. The best of the three, oddly, is Lisa Kudrow.
I’m also not attracted to Lucy Liu. No real reason but she doesn’t do it for me.
For certain values of “actor”, there’s Pam Anderson. I didn’t even like her before the various surgeries.
Well, this is a thread about judging strangers superficially. Some people are attracted to skinny, buxom blondes, others are “prejudiced” against them in that they don’t find them attractive. Some people think tattoos are hot, others are disgusted by them. It doesn’t mean that they would find EVERYTHING about such a person repellent, but hey, sexy is in the eye of the beholder.
Lisa Edelstein - I like her well enough as an actress, but she is in no way attractive. Horse-faced, not unlike SJP.
This is a perfect example of how I will never really understand what women find attractive. I like the actor and the character (Daryl) just fine, but to me he looks really damn ugly. Puffy face, squinty eyes, scraggly facial hair–I just don’t get it.
Angelina Jolie - looks like a staring, scrawny praying mantis. I don’t get her supposed ‘beauty’ at all. She looks so weird. If she lost all those ugly protruding veins and put on a few pounds, she might work herself up to “OK looking”…I used to think Kristin Stewart was pretty, but her sullen vacant snotty demeanor over the years cancelled that out!
Too many men Hollywood types to mention. They all look alike in that none are exceptional. There are no stars any more… Johnny Depp is losing his looks SO FAST, what a pity! He was once extremely good looking and talented, and now he’s approaching pitiable… And that Channing Tatum or Tatum Channing, the one they keep trying to make ‘happen’ - blah, forgettable, featureless. I have to think really hard to remember what he looks like. No, I don’t care if he has great abs. The man is a zero.
Uh, the 1950s called . . . .
Bear in mind that the First Lady preceding Jackie was Mamie Eisenhower. Comparatively, Jackie was a goddess.
