Charlotte Kemp Muhl, longtime partner of Sean Ono Lennon. I thought I looked alright but I feel like a sack of potatoes in comparison! Also she's 36 but somehow looks 22?

Beauty has to be in the eyes of the beholder - I've met Paul through my work and found him to be very ordinary.

Of course! That’s the joy of this thread, as others have said. I liked the poster who said she was gobsmacked by a girl her daughter thought ordinary. Personally having never been a fan of this man I found being mesmerised by him as a septuagenarian explained Beatlemania to me because I could well imagine how he’d been entrancing when young.

Cillian Murphy. His eyes are the iciest blue, like looking through the sea over an iceberg. He is other worldly.

I’ve met a lot celebs in my line of work - but Lily James I had always thought of as stunning, but IRL she was very plain. I think she must be one of those people that come alive in front of a lense.

Iman

@CrebillionFils Marilyn Monroe was the same apparently. I remember reading an article years ago where a director of one of her movies was absolutely stressed because he thought she was doing really poor acting in her scenes.
When he watched the rushes afterwards, he said it was like he was watching a totally different person, she was mesmerising.

This is the most beautiful man on the planet

I like this thread. Shows how beauty is utterly subjective.

Yes it does, really interesting.
I agree about Bobby Brazier, he’s quite stunning.
As was Tim Curry, specifically as Frank N Furter...

silvafishling · 12/12/2023 23:12

Raised eyebrows at some of the answers on here. I guess money talks

Thequeenofwishfulthinking · 12/12/2023 23:14

There are so many famous people who are attractive due to their clothes, hair and make up. Most people would look the same if they were given a makeover etc. Daisy from Coronation Street is a typical example. Loads of make up with hair extensions that are always perfect. Sorry to Daisy and the poster who mentioned her. I’ve just mentioned the character as an example. Michelle Keegan is another person off the top of my head. She’s pretty now she’s had work done but not beautiful and definitely not natural.
Genuine natural beauty is not fillers, implants and extensions.
There’s a huge difference between an attractive package and pure beauty.
Natural beauties I can think of are Kate Moss, Angelina Joliet, Anna Kournakova, Halle Berry, Lily James, Cindy Crawford, Penelope Cruz, Jenna Coleman, Olivia Newton John, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Beckinsdale, Liv Tyler and Catherine Zeta Jones
Unfortunately I’ve not met any of them irl.

Clafoutie · 12/12/2023 23:16

I thought Stella Tennant was so beautiful.

Gillian Anderson.

GEK1983 · 12/12/2023 23:16

I've never seen a more attractive man irl or on tv than Jensen Ackles. He is stunningly handsome.

Women, there's so many. Irina Shayk.

Captainobvious35 · 12/12/2023 23:17

It’s an obvious one, but a young Brad Pitt looked like he was sculpted by angels.

Travis Fimmel in Vikings.

Charlie Hunham 10 years ago.

In real life, my 50ish year old neighbour. She’s blonde, cheekbones to die for, tall, so striking. It’s hard not to study her face when she’s talking to you.

Clafoutie · 12/12/2023 23:19

Also Gaspard Ulliel. Another person very sadly no longer with us, but remarkably beautiful I thought.

When it comes to celebs I don’t know because so many have had surgery and procedures that i can no longer say who is naturally beautiful . So for me it’s old school people that haven’t had fillers, facelifts, Botox, eyelid surgery, nose jobs etc. vivien Leigh, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Omar Sharif.

Lhasatude · 12/12/2023 23:21

Will Kemp. And he can dance 😍

whynotwhatknot · 12/12/2023 23:21

problem is catherine zeta was beautiful but has had fillers done which take the edge off now

whynotwhatknot · 12/12/2023 23:25

i just cant get fillers-some of these women are beautiful but ruin it with botox and other crap i just dont understand

Dontfencemein · 12/12/2023 23:27

Lashana Lynch.
Amy Winehouse at the time of her Frank album.
Stella Tennant

CatWoman12345 · 12/12/2023 23:29

Young Kate Moss
Older Angelina Jolie

Also, my friends daughter who died at 16, she posts about her every day and that kid never took a bad picture ☹️

Channellingsophistication · 12/12/2023 23:29

Austin Butler as Elvis - honestly thought he was the most beautiful man i’d ever seen

Also Kelly Jones in the Dekota video

Lessstressedhemum · 12/12/2023 23:30

In real life, my cousin when we were teens/early 20s. He was so unbelievably gorgeous. 6ft4, blond, gloriously blue eyes, cheekbones like razor blades. Everywhere we went, girls literally flicked round him. They wouldn't leave him alone, it was embarrassing.

Famous folk, there are so many. Sophia Loren was like a work of art. Angelina Jolie is so beautiful she shouldn't be real. Young Jonny Depp was just perfect, so was young Elvis and there are not many men who could rival 1980s Seb Bach but, I think, Jensen Ackles wins. Although, at the minute, I can't stop looking at Dan Vasc who is a Brazilian YouTube singer 😳 who is the same age as my oldest son (double blush)

Pallisers · 12/12/2023 23:30

Fab thread - thanks OP.

Piers Brosnan at any age! 😃

I agree except take a look at him before he had his teeth fixed - you might want to say any age after Remington Steele. He was very good looking before that but the teeth made a difference.

I love this thread but was strikes me is the difference between beauty and attraction. I think Ed Norton is the sexiest man I've ever seen on the screen but I know he isn't beautiful. I can see how Timothee Chalamet has a beautiful face but he seems so generally tiny I can't find him attractive.

I loved Daniel Day Lewis back in his heyday.

Stella Tennant - she was incredible.

Oh,I’m so glad to find someone else who thinks this! I didn’t see your post before I said the same. I thought she was exquisite.
