Another one for Jason Momoa. He was kind of cool in GOT but his constant smirk and raised eyebrows really pissing me off. Also, his wife? I can't remember her name, but she is tiny and really average looking to me - but considered stunning.

Also, Vincent Cassel. He is, to my eyes, really ugly! He looks even worse now he is older.

To counterbalance - Colin Firth is lovely )) Grégory Fitoussi, Thierry Godard - love watching Spiral because of them.

I’ve seen loads of celebs in real life & rich people & the glow is a thing. It’s like when you come back from holiday & you feel refreshed, look rested, light tan etc celebs have that all the time. Many look better in the flesh & they are always smaller & shorter then you think.

No that's not true. I've met her in person. She's phenomenally beautiful. She's stunning in real life, absolutely gorgeous.

Seriously? How can you say that? OMG, Boyonce is beyond stunning. She's on another level of total gorgeousness!!! And I say that as a 48 year old woman!

Interesting thread., especially the posts about seeing famous people in ordinary life and they’re having a glow.

My penn’orth - beauty is not only subjective it’s situational. I think Kate Middleton is beautiful. But there are pictures of her beside the Queen of Bhutan in which she looks really plain. It’s so odd!

To me, Timothee Chalamet is like a glass vase. You can look at the glass vase and say “Oh, that’s beautiful,” but it looks so thin and delicate that you might be a little afraid to touch it. And you definitely don’t want to have sex with it. 😂

I think Brad Pitt only just got attractive in the last decade. I wasn’t into his 1990s pretty-boy phase. Jason Momoa has way too many muscles and Channing Tatum’s neck puts me off.

When it comes to women, I don’t understand why women think Jennifer Aniston is so beautiful - and I say women, because her looks don’t really seem to ping on men’s radars. She’s pretty, and she’s aged well, but she’s not a stunning beauty.

Re: Benedict Cumberbatch, I think his voice is part of the attraction. If you’re just looking at a picture of him, it doesn’t quite communicate all of his appeal.

Yes to your description of TC. He is BEAUTIFUL but would never inspire me to rip his clothes off and give him the ride like some men. But he’s very pretty!

That's true about the aura, I saw the model Lara stone in the street and she just glowed, also wearing all black.

GroClock · 11/02/2024 04:59

Remember these celebs have been smoothed, polished and styles to the enth degree. A bit like my wedding prep where I will never ever look that nice again, but for them it’s every day!! 😂

I once stood in front of Ewan McGregor at Starbucks around the time of The Island. I don’t find him attractive, but he was actually glowing… like a weird shiny aura, dressed head to toe in black. Definitely something compelling and wow about him in the moment.

Some of these mentioned have charisma, so from photos I do not find them attractive but seeing them talk/act makes them much more attractive to me - i.e Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt.

Yes, I very much agree with this.

Crispedia · 11/02/2024 03:04

I didn’t find Cillian Murphy attractive until he played Tom Shelby in Peaky Blinders, found him gorgeous in that.

Crispedia · 11/02/2024 03:03

I don’t think Diana had classically beautiful features but I think she was an incredibly attractive, striking looking woman.

Crispedia · 11/02/2024 02:51

Paul Mescal, too pasty skinned like me.

MissRheingold · 11/02/2024 02:15

Jennifer Anniston. Hard faced and beady eyes.

Ariana Grande. Weird pixie features.

Amal Clooney. Looks more like A male than Amal with a bit of Maureen Lipman thrown in.

Clooney, comes across as being simple minded.

Johnny Depp. Wizened soap dodger with overly fake mannerisms.

Idris Elba. Looks like a bus driver.

ThechicRoyal · 11/02/2024 00:58

Jennifer Aniston or any of the friends cast - very plain looking people

Mabris · 11/02/2024 00:49

Kate Middleton

VintageBlossomHill · 11/02/2024 00:31

Cillian Murphy. I think he’s really cool, talented and love his humour but just don’t think he is that attractive.

ChellyT · 11/02/2024 00:28

DinaofCloud9 · 09/02/2024 21:38

Jason mamoa.
The Hadid sisters.
Tom Hardy.

I add to The Hadid sisters, any and all of the Kardasians/Jenners

I'm Australian so majority of our league or AFL players with model wives/gfs... seriously I saw most of these men on the street I wouldn't look twice

Because he looks like he’s been defrosted?

There is nothing about him I find attractive!

Defrosted 🤣🤣 I proper laughed!
Taylor Swift is massively overrated and I think is nasty under her facade.
Adam Driver, rough as fuck and seems nasty with no facade!

Meghan Markle. I totally don't get the hype about her beauty. I can't see any beauty in her at all. But I know on MN she's regarded as super stylish and beautiful. I've really looked at her in so many different pictures over the years, and to me she just isn't.

Shes pretty not beautiful or stunning in my opinion, same with Kate.

Treehugger22 · 11/02/2024 00:20

I'm another one for Harry styles, gosaline, zayn malik

Agree Beyonce is beautiful naturally as well

Here we go again 🙂
Cillian Murphy, FFS.

Harry Styles.

Wouldn't look twice at him in the street and i've thought that since Cowell bunged all the failures together in x factor.

<ducks>

He ruined himself with the cheap tattoos

Talkwhilstyouwalk · 10/02/2024 23:08

I feel like this is a really unkind thread.

TrixieFatell · 10/02/2024 23:07

All you blasphemers talking about Tom Hardy. He could destroy me and I'd be grateful.

Never got the appeal of Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds or Bradley Cooper. David Beckham is so icky and the likes of Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp look like they smell of stale fags and whisky.
