Just as an FYI for almost everyone “BIFFO” stands for Big Ignorant Fucker From Offaly and he certainly was/is.
The odd thing is that when she was young, she was reasonably attractive:
Ah, but he had a winning smile.
He looks like an exhibit at the museam of natural history.
Remember, that’s what the Soviets did with their leaders after they died.
Speaking of ugly Spanish monarchs, Philip IV was no prize, either.
It’s worth keeping in mind that pre-photography, a portrait painter’s job was to make his subject look good. So someone that is ugly as sin in a portrait, well, divide by half.
I’ll get you, Dorothy! And your little dog, too!
Seriously folks, some of these are laughable. I see uglier people in the supermarket.
Yushchenko looks scary but he was poisoned, he doesn’t look like that normally.
Brian Cowen looks like a fat middle management type. I don’t think he’s spectacularly ugly.
Omar al Bashir is an ordinary looking middle aged Black dude.
Noriega - just had acne scars. Not that ugly, really.
The real contenders are
- Golda Meir
- Leonid Brezhnev
- Gaddhafi
- Those Spanish king dudes
In almost all of these folks’ cases, time did terrible things to their faces. I was amazed at how pretty Meir was as a young woman… WTF happened?
Pope Benny after the destruction of Alderaan.
(Bonus: He’s wearing a Santa hat)
Gaddafi wasn’t all that unattractive, either.
You’re right. What the hell happened to his face? His eyes seem to have narrowed significantly. I don’t understand what could have caused this.
Too much pulling his pud.
Bloody hell! He’s really handsome!
His mind changed for the worst. His face is the reflection of his mind.
I’m not sure you’d find a taxidermist who could stomach the job.
He also has an interesting family tree
I look at those pictures and think “homely woman”, not “ugly man”. Makes me wonder if there’s some kind of sex mix-up going on there.
ETA: though with that family tree, anything is possible.
Here’s what happened
