@WetBandits the comment about the defrosted looking Cillian Murphy- I’m wheezing!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

HootyMcBooby · 13/02/2024 08:13

I might be going out on a limb here but I really think that Cillian Murphy has had something done to his face in recent years. It's not just age or weight loss, his face looks really tight and stretched, and the worse for it IMO.

Ryan Reynolds.
Robbie Williams, always thought he looked like a clown without makeup on. Even in Take That days. Sorry Robbie!

Kardashian/Jenners, I have no idea why they are considered attractive or why they are famous.
Jeremy Allen White (recently of CK ads)
George Clooney. He's a good actor but I don't find him hot at all.
Jennifer Aniston. I just don't see her as pretty at all.
Alexa Chung. Looks like a broomstick.
Kate Moss. Looks good in some pictures but I've seen her in the flesh and she isn't all that good looking, just very photogenic.
Cheryl Tweedy/Cole/Whateversheisnow. I never ever understood why she was seen as this great beauty. I mean she is ok, pretty, etc. but not outstanding and not enough to make up for her glaring lack of any talent whatsoever.

CHERYL FERNANDEZ-VERCINI! Grin

These threads are brilliant in showing how different we all are which is a good thing as imagine if we all liked the same thing? How fucking dull.
The saying goes that there is someone for everyone and these threads make me agree.

FieldInWhichFucksAreGrownIsBarren · 11/02/2024 22:37

Ha ha ha, saw the thread title earlier and sought it out to say Ryan fucking Reynolds! Funny as fuck but not at all attractive. Neither is gosling though.
Don't find Henry Cavil, Jamie Dornan or Channing Tatum attractive either.

@BMXsummoner , she died in1997 aged 36, so she was probably a lot older than you
By the mid 1990s we all wanted hair like Jennifer Aniston, from what I remember.
She was probably too much older than you for you to like her hair.

Princess Diana was a year older than me and I never liked her hair. A lot of women copied her hair and clothes in the early to mid 80s, but the look didn't really suit anyone and quickly became unfashionable.

Totally agree with PPs about finding an actor unattractive until you see them in a certain role or character.

Loathed Matt Smith and his stupid eyebrowless face esp. in Dr Who. Then saw him in GOT and was… confused.

Tom Hiddleston was very attractive when he first played Loki in the Avengers and Thor, but he hasn’t aged well, the whole Taylor Swift debacle was a huge turn off and his insistence on wearing his hair in that horrible too long style has completely killed any attraction I had.

Colin Farrell on the other hand can get it now then and probably forever.

Never got the hype about Diana, she had terrible hair.

I find there’s a difference too in that I can see why other people find a celeb attractive even if I don’t (Momoa) and wondering HTF someone could ever be considered gorgeous (R Gosling)

Matt Smith as Prince Phillip was a sexually confusing time for me. Not as Dr Who but then when he played Dameon in HotD I was all flustered again

Princess Diana’s hair was hugely fashionable when she came to prominence. Not so much into the 90s when it started to feel dated. She was just getting into her stride, style-wise, when she died, I felt.
Matt Smith was fantastic in The Crown but his facial structure always puts me in mind of the Easter Island statues. Sorry Matt!

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 11/02/2024 15:02

Would have normally agreed with the Tom Hiddleston, but I saw clip of him dancing on some talkshow, and my goodness, the charisma 🥵. It wasn't even particularly good dancing, but he did it with confidence.

On Graham Norton? Yup, right with you on that. And that man can really wear a suit. Have you seen him in 'The Night Manager'? I always thought he was attractive though.

sorestupid · 11/02/2024 15:01

i love the fact that he loves dancing! shame more men don’t

Robbie Williams has always given me the ick.

Agree with PP who said Leonardo, his elfish features never did it for me.

Would have normally agreed with the Tom Hiddleston, but I saw clip of him dancing on some talkshow, and my goodness, the charisma 🥵. It wasn't even particularly good dancing, but he did it with confidence.

I will add Jodie Comer, but with caveat that sometimes she looks absolutely jaw droppingly beautiful,other times like a very approachable looking mum you might know from the school run. I don't quite understand how, as her features are lovely and obviously she is amazingly talented.

OMG I saw, most likely, the same clip of Tom Hiddleston dancing earlier today and was surprised at how attracted I was to him at that moment as had never found him particularly attractive before

@BMXsummoner , her hair was OK for the era. It was the 1980s and people had big hair.
Do a search on 1980s hairstyles.

Yes I realise that…. I still think it was an unflattering style and also that she was actually fairly plain. I grew up in the 80s and was always baffled by people going on about how beautiful she was. Though I suppose she was attractive when compared to her counterparts at the time

CheeseSandwichRiskAssessment · 11/02/2024 14:09

Diana was tall, charismatic and had a great figure, that all goes a long way.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 11/02/2024 14:06

I think Diana wore some truly awful outfits.

Uma Thurman

supposed to have been some kind of sex symbol! She is not pretty or attractive in the slightest

I agree. Billie Piper is another one that people say is attractive. I certainly don't think so

Butchyrestingface · 11/02/2024 10:34

I never found Zac Efron attractive to begin with and now, thanks to whatever the fuck he's done to his face, he looks practically deformed, poor rich lad.

DaBlackCatsAreDaBestCats · 11/02/2024 10:24

This might be unpopular but Princess Diana wasn’t “beautiful” she was styled well

What is it with people being unable to spell really well-known people's names?! I've just opened the thread and there are misspellings of seven different names on the first page alone Confused. Seven! I'm not an online spelling crusader, but seriously!

It's an unspoken MN rule.

Bluedogrug · 11/02/2024 09:43

Mossy is gorgeous.
Cillian gives me the creeps!
