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

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

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.

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.

CheeseSandwichRiskAssessment · 11/02/2024 06:57

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

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!

Cello60 · 11/02/2024 08:30

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!

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!

Only with the help of a lot of photoshop.

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

sorestupid · 11/02/2024 09:10

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.

localnotail · 11/02/2024 09:43

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.

Bluedogrug · 11/02/2024 09:43

Mossy is gorgeous.
Cillian gives me the creeps!

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.

DaBlackCatsAreDaBestCats · 11/02/2024 10:24

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

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.

Sasqets · 11/02/2024 12:19

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

BMXsummoner · 11/02/2024 13:49

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)

FayCarew · 11/02/2024 13:59

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

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 11/02/2024 14:06

I think Diana wore some truly awful outfits.

CheeseSandwichRiskAssessment · 11/02/2024 14:09

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

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

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

sorestupid · 11/02/2024 15:01

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