Well, probably in a country of 333 million people we could find about 100 men and women who are both beautiful and very talented actors. Casting directors used to look for them. (For me, Diane Keaton and Cybil Sheppard and Helen Mirren and Lauren Bacall and Vivien Leigh, and Natalie Portman, etc. all come to mind from the top of my head as both beautiful and talented.) But nowadays, if they did that, it would make the nepotistic hires like Beanie Feldstein and Kristen Stewart look especially awful.

Diane Keaton has horse teeth. I have never understood why people think she's beautiful. Funny, yes, but not beautiful.

Cameron is no beauty just cute, all American girl next door, but then again shes never been known to be a true beauty.
Jennifer Aniston i think is pretty but sometimes overrated. I mean she was voted the worlds most beautiful by People mag.

In the last 10 years having been to the Hamptons (where my brother lives part of the year)I saw many celebrities.
The ones who disappointed
Gwenyth Paltrow really homily but good body
Christy Brinkley (had way too much surgery)
Catherine Zeta Jones looked very pretty (actually saw her in NYC)

The ones that looked good
Andie McDowall
Kate Capshaw (but too much makeup)
S J Parker lets just say not attractive

I saw Christie Brinkley in 1983 and she looked good. But she had a ton of freckles she covers up.
Saw Andie McDowall at the Duplicity premier party looked good.

Biggest celeb I saw was Paul Newman at the Hampton Classic.

Funniest I sat next to Fabio at the Drivers Seat in the Hamptons and met stuttering John from Howard stern show

It’s been the opposite for me. I live in NYC and have met a number of celebs through my work, and they always, always stand out in a crowd of regular people. Eg., Giselle, Ben Affleck, Jessica Biel etc.

No that’s your mom

Such a dumb retort. (But I chuckled)

I don’t think we actually want our actors to be stunningly beautiful. If someone is classically gorgeous, they are either (1) so perfect they end up with kinda boring Instagram face (2) so good looking we can’t relate to them (3) so pretty they make us feel inadequate.

So instead we pay money to watch people who have an offbeat beauty that we can relate to. Because it’s offbeat beauty rather than perfect beauty, some people will think they’re beautiful and some will think they’re not.

I actually find almost all of the people everyone is mentioning pleasing to look at, if not beautiful. I think if they were actually “ugly” they would not be famous.

But we don’t need them to be gorgeous; we just need them to be easy on the eyes and have charisma.

Yes. Watch that movie with him and Steve Carrell. Then, let’s talk. Hot.

The one where he plays a total sleazebag? No thanks!

NP. I see the abs, I think he’s probably very charismatic, but even looking at that gif I’m like…thin lips and eyes too close together.

Halle Berry. OK, she's prettyish but not the gorgeous beauty that she has been made out to be. If I was a man, I wouldn't be in a rush to date her.

I've always thought that there was something 'missing' with her.
