> [@Kobal2](#): > > Rowan Atkinson, but that’s a low hanging fruit isn’t it ? I believe you’re right on that score. He’s great at mugging and pulling faces, but without that effort he’s not that weird looking, IMHO. Not outright handsome or beautiful, but not “bust out laughing” funny to look at. Is Ringo Starr too important an icon to make the list? Mick Jagger? ---
