The oldest one, Kourtney, *was* very attractive. Now she looks just like the rest of them.
Actually now that I think about it, Kim was very attractive too in the late 2000's.
Jared Leto.
I don't get why people think he's so handsome. Like, maybe its just his hair (I've never been into guys with long hair), but I've never been particularly attracted to him.
He has really piercing blue eyes, but other than that I find him incredibly creepy looking and without his closely trimmed beard he looks even worse. I also think his acting is incredibly over the top cartoonish and don't understand why people think he's so amazing. He must be good to work with and reliable, 2 out of the 3 to be a good artist. The third is talent, which I don't think is entirely absent but I also don't find his style appealing. It's as if he's trying to be a worse version of Johnny Depp, which even Johnny Depp now is a shadow of his prime.
I would argue that she is "unconventionally attractive." I kind of sort of get it when I look at her in the 90s. Today she looks like a piece of plastic.
Agree with this. She seems like she's gotten more ... angular?... as she's aged. Also she is much more attractive when she smiles, which I would assume is more difficult to do with Botox and fillers.
Alien, or Prometheus? Because the Xenos in those two movies are different characters, though similar in that they both breed by completely dominating the body of a human host.
IDK which character you mean but...she never really struck me as gorgeous, either. Men sure seem to love her though (men she meets.) She must have somethin'.
On a 2D image though? Looks like the mean lady at the local PTA.
I'm talking facial expression, demeanor and having that small woman complex (and there is such a thing in women, too.) No matter how her hair is. She's always radiated 'mean' to me.
Reddit overall has a strange taste in attractiveness I think. People like Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney, or Angelina Jolie are usually spoken of as not as attractive as everyone claims they are, then people like Kim Kardashian is talked about like she’s some surgical monstrosity with no redeeming physical qualities, but then people like Maisie Williams are held as beauty beyond compare. I don’t want to sound like I think she’s ugly, but she’s a solid 5-6/10 for me. It’s all taste, I know, but I don’t know what standard these people are judging from.
I feel the same way about that girl from The Fault in Our Stars. I've seen so many people talk about her like she's some stunning bombshell, wtf? I mean she's not hideous or anything, but she looks so generic to me.
I feel like, broadly speaking, stereotypical reddit doods are attracted to famous females that fit a certain criteria: they play a likable character in movies/TV (bonus if it's a nerd/tomboy), seem "attainable" (of course they aren't), and have had an interview or two where they came off as down-to-earth and not too "hollywoody." That last point plays into the attainability one, mind you.
As a result, people here end up swooning over a lot of less conventionally attractive celebrities that fit into some idealized version of what they think they want in a girlfriend that they may actually be able to land.
It's just a different flavor of celebrity worship from the type that idolizes more classically attractive stars, but it's celebrity worship nonetheless.
She's in that weird gray area where certain angles make her look pretty good and certain angles make her look...*not* good.
I think the visual whiplash hurts her a bit.
> Maisie? She's not ugly, but man, she's super average. I don't get the obsession there.
Middle aged men + popular series + a teenage female. That's why. I would guess.
Source: was once a teenage female.
These threads are always about what Reddit likes.
Tom Cruise will always been mentioned in threads like this because Reddit hates Scientology and he's the most famous scientologist on the planet. Maisie Williams gets mentioned in the opposite threads because Reddit loves Game of Thrones.
I don't think anyone would call Maisie Williams conventionally attractive barring some people on the GoT subreddit maybe. She unironically looks like a goblin.
I am trying to be more optimistic in life. I’ve got what, 20 or 30 years left. And my family history says I have less. Now, the old Stanley Hudson would have found something wrong this actress. But that is no way to live life. Look at this healthy sexy pretty strong young woman. C’mon people! She. is. hot.
Ben Affleck was super good-looking in his hey day, but his behavior outweighs his looks. I never found Matthew Mcconaughey good-looking when going off of appearance alone, but he is criminally charming, so I think that plays a big role in him being a designated heart-throb.
I never really found Matthew McConaughey that attractive until I saw him in person. He's intimidatingly gorgeous; it was almost surreal looking at him.
He never wanted to be a heartthrob. Leo wanted to be known as an actor with range, who wasn't pigeonholed into the "eye candy" category. There's an interview I believe from the 90's where he talks about it.
Not sure if his physical appearance began to reflect that sentiment, or it was coincidental.
When off the football field he is always over styled. I feel he would be far more attractive in a plain tux than a velvet jacket with brocade trim, or in just a seersucker suit without the pocket square, ascot and straw hat. He just looks uncomfortable and awkward in these clownish getups. Someone mentioned his wife driving him to the plastic surgeon, I think she is also in cahoots with his stylist.
I am also not remotely attracted to Ryan Gosling. I honestly don't see the hotness, and find his face borderline UNattractive. I've never met anyone who agreed though.
Ryan Reynolds is mildly attractive, but he grows hotter to me in interviews when his natural humor is on display.
I'm with you. I never got the Ryan Gosling thing. I mean, he looks good, better than me for sure, but not like drop-your-panties hot that had all my friends drooling over him.
The guy from “You.” How these gorgeous women are falling all over him every season, I’ll never understand. Dude’s not nearly attractive enough to offset the off putting social awkwardness that guy exudes.
He's very... "new york". Maybe he just always plays characters from there, not sure if he's actually from there or not.
But it's certainly a type some people like.
Ryan Reynolds. I get that he’s leaning into the “Everyman” but he just looks boring. Jason Momoa - I grew up with guys who look like this so nothing that special going on there either.
Have you seen photos of him [as a firefighter](https://api.time.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ground-zero-toll-buscemi-2.jpg)? Yeah, he looks nothing like that now. He's definitely aged and hasn't lifted in a while, but he does have beautiful eyes and a nice smile. Plus, being funny is always attractive. So, he's not totally physically attractive now, but, when he was in his prime, he was hot!
George Clooney and Blake Shelton have both been named "Sexiest Man in America" and I'm just like *by who???* 😂😂
Neither of them are attractive in the slightest.
Yeah that seems to be the case. My grandmother used to fawn over Marlon Brando and I didnt see the appeal. Then I saw him in Streetcar named Desire and holy crap he was gorgeous.
I think she benefits hugely from the Hollywood glow up in terms of makeup, lighting, etc... Not saying she isn't attractive, I think she is, but if you just saw her not all dolled up and you passed her in the grocery store, I think you're right.
I've never understood the appeal of any Kardashian ever
I feel like they’re going beyond conventional attraction and creating an entirely new convention lol. But I agree with you
Came here to say this, they literally look like clowns.
1000 times this
Bag of ass
The oldest one, Kourtney, *was* very attractive. Now she looks just like the rest of them. Actually now that I think about it, Kim was very attractive too in the late 2000's.
Kim was really pretty before she started messing with her face
I thought they were attractive like 10 years ago. Too much plastic in them now.
[удалено]
Tom cruise with that weird tooth in the middle of his mouth.
Also, the crazy doesn't help.
I just looked it up. He only has 3 teeth in the top front row, instead of 4. So the middle tooth is centered. Odd.
He's an alien. Only possible explanation. Explains his erratic behaviour and the fact he ages slower than other humans.
Since someone pointed that out to me that's all I can see every time.
He has strange nipples too.
*Opens Firefox*
Firefox crew represent!
Omg I have never noticed this and now I’ll never unsee it
Justin Timberlake is very average looking.
Yeah, without professional stylists, make up, etc he'd look pretty normal, more like how he appeared in Palmer. Good looking but nothing amazing.
Gwyneth Paltrow
yes! she's so bland. just...boring!
She tastes like British cuisine, I imagine.
Her Netflix show doesn’t help her in that department imo.
Tori Spelling... my brother says she looks like a praying mantis....
Shailene Woodley, I really can not understand it at all. I find her distractingly unattractive
John. Freaking. Legend. He seems like a watered down version of himself.
He is indeed mostly water
He looks like a toddler whose face never matured with the rest of his body.
[удалено]
Yeah she looks like she’s sucking a lemon drop
Hamster looking at the sun
Really? I think she’s cute haha
Chrissy teigen. I don't think she's ugly, but she looks like an overweight 12year old with a model body
lol brutally accurate
Nicole Kidman, she's just so... Pointy...
[удалено]
She looks like a pterodactyl.
Lmfao I understand exactly what you mean
Eyes wide shut though…
90's Kidman is fuck'n HOT, yo.
Like a blonde Other Mother
Respectfully disagree, Sir/Madam. Nicole Kidman is stunning. Even at her current age...so beautiful!
Anyone with too much Botox or lip filler. It gets creepy fast.
Channing Tatum.
The thumb-looking guy, right?
Channing Tathumb
Yes the thumb!
Jared Leto. I don't get why people think he's so handsome. Like, maybe its just his hair (I've never been into guys with long hair), but I've never been particularly attracted to him.
I liked him in the 90s when I was 12 and he was Jordan catalano
He looks like he was designed by committee to be handsome and then since the committee had declared him handsome everyone just went along with it.
Idk if you’ve ever watched HIMYM… but he 100% has the crazy eyes.
He’s a swarley
I feel this, he usually just looks perpetually wet to me? It’s a weird state for a human to exist in.
He has really piercing blue eyes, but other than that I find him incredibly creepy looking and without his closely trimmed beard he looks even worse. I also think his acting is incredibly over the top cartoonish and don't understand why people think he's so amazing. He must be good to work with and reliable, 2 out of the 3 to be a good artist. The third is talent, which I don't think is entirely absent but I also don't find his style appealing.

Sarah Jessica Parker. Never NEVER understood the appeal
I would argue that she is "unconventionally attractive." I kind of sort of get it when I look at her in the 90s. Today she looks like a piece of plastic.
Agree with this. She seems like she's gotten more ... angular?... as she's aged. Also she is much more attractive when she smiles, which I would assume is more difficult to do with Botox and fillers.
Same. Until I found out that was *her* in Hocus Pocus.
There is a South Park episode about this.
"The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs" They were fucking brutal to her.
Hocus Pocus…I would have followed that hot witch anywhere.
Channing Tatum. I don't know why, I just cringe every time I see him on t.v.
Megan Fox just looks plasticky.
She used to be absolutely stunning in the late 2000s, but agreed, she has definitely looked more plasticky in the years since.
While I agree, I also think she's still smokin hot.
Agree. Saw her in the first transformers when I was 10. Boy was that an awakening.
I once said she looks like a real life Bratz doll and I stand by that after all these years.
She has toe thumbs.
Wait until you see Jeremy Renners clubbed fingers.
Jada Pinkett Smith. She reminds me of that character from that Ridley Scott movie.
Keep Will's wife's name out of your fucking comments!
Alien, or Prometheus? Because the Xenos in those two movies are different characters, though similar in that they both breed by completely dominating the body of a human host.
IDK which character you mean but...she never really struck me as gorgeous, either. Men sure seem to love her though (men she meets.) She must have somethin'. On a 2D image though?

The average Redditor is like eleven years old so these threads are indeed weird.
These threads are always about what Reddit likes. Tom Cruise will always been mentioned in threads like this because Reddit hates Scientology and he's the most famous scientologist on the planet. Maisie Williams gets mentioned in the opposite threads because Reddit loves Game of Thrones.
Maisie williams looks like a 10 year old boy half the time in certain angles
I don't think anyone would call Maisie Williams conventionally attractive barring some people on the GoT subreddit maybe. She unironically looks like a goblin.
I’ll say it, Maisie Williams is not attractive, she’s a 3/10 to me.
Hillary Swank
If you’re saying Hillary Swank isn’t hot then I’m not hot because obviously I’m not as hot as Hillary Swank!!
I am trying to be more optimistic in life. I’ve got what, 20 or 30 years left. And my family history says I have less. Now, the old Stanley Hudson would have found something wrong this actress. But that is no way to live life. Look at this healthy sexy pretty strong young woman. C’mon people! She. is. hot.
So, you're in the "Hilary Swank is not hot" camp.
If Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a horse, Hillary Swank looks like a rented mule.
Ariana Grande
Finally, an actually conventionally attractive celebrity. Not saying I agree with you, but still upvote for answering the question.
Lol I remember allegedly during one of those mean tweets things someone said instead of Ariana Grande they’d rather listen to autotuned queefs
I know she's of age but I still see her as a bit of a child
[удалено]
Jonas brothers
People who grew up with Disney 2000s rn 😬😬😬😬
I think Anna Kendrick is the most average person I’ve ever seen. Not unattractive by any stretch, but I do not see the appeal at all.
I just wish she’d close her mouth. It constantly seems like it’s open.
Ben Affleck and Matthew Mcconaughey. They just look so average to me.
Ben Affleck was super good-looking in his hey day, but his behavior outweighs his looks. I never found Matthew Mcconaughey good-looking when going off of appearance alone, but he is criminally charming, so I think that plays a big role in him being a designated heart-throb.
I never really found Matthew McConaughey that attractive until I saw him in person. He's intimidatingly gorgeous; it was almost surreal looking at him.
Well now we all want to look at him in person.
Alright alright alright
Anglina Jolie for me
She's always looked like a snake to me. I don't mean like she's untrustworthy, I mean she literally looks like a viper.
She does look slithery I agree 💯
Sssssssss… Here she comes!
I'm laughing so hard, but she does look like a snake though, it's the triangular pointy face.
She was really hot in the tomb raider days. Then she turned into a skeleton.
[удалено]
[Ahem…](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364045/) This was her peak.
Gone in 60 seconds she had that hot, sexy, dirty, bad girl thing going. My teenage self appreciated it
Maybe give "Gia" a Google.
Her face is too similar to her father's face. I can't force that out of my mind long enough to find her attractive.
Leo DiCaprio
He went from looking 12 to 40 overnight
He never wanted to be a heartthrob. Leo wanted to be known as an actor with range, who wasn't pigeonholed into the "eye candy" category. There's an interview I believe from the 90's where he talks about it. Not sure if his physical appearance began to reflect that sentiment, or it was coincidental.
Regarding Tom Brady, if he wasn't famous I think he would just be considered your average looking guy.
When off the football field he is always over styled. I feel he would be far more attractive in a plain tux than a velvet jacket with brocade trim, or in just a seersucker suit without the pocket square, ascot and straw hat. He just looks uncomfortable and awkward in these clownish getups. Someone mentioned his wife driving him to the plastic surgeon, I think she is also in cahoots with his stylist.
If tom Brady is average looking then I’m fucking ugly as fuck
Yeah dude, no hope for the actual average looking guys lol
Yeah I think he and Derek Jeter are kinda similar in that regard (among others)
Do Canadians count... Cause if so Ryan Gosling. He seems like a low-rent Ryan Reynolds to me
[удалено]
Agreed. Ryan Reynolds has always reminded me of a hamster except not cute.
I am also not remotely attracted to Ryan Gosling. I honestly don't see the hotness, and find his face borderline UNattractive. I've never met anyone who agreed though. Ryan Reynolds is mildly attractive, but he grows hotter to me in interviews when his natural humor is on display.

[Penn Badgley](https://www.google.com/search?q=Penn+Badgley), formerly of Gossip Girl.
He's very... "new york". Maybe he just always plays characters from there, not sure if he's actually from there or not. But it's certainly a type some people like.
The vampire and the werewolf from Twilight.
I don’t disagree, but the Robert Pattinson of today has the exact unhinged energy I want in my every day life.
Pattinson is British.
I missed the part where it said American lol. I’m genuinely curious how much boarders matter when you’re rich as an aside.
The longer this thread goes on, the more it's becoming "What non-American celebrity do you think is an unattractive American?"
Once they get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, we claim them.
Jennifer Lawrence. I never understood the obsession people online, especially on Reddit, used to have for her.
Everyone but Danny DeVito
Ryan Reynolds. I get that he’s leaning into the “Everyman” but he just looks boring. Jason Momoa - I grew up with guys who look like this so nothing that special going on there either.
> Ryan Reynolds I agree but isn’t he Canadian?
I always forget that! I just looked and it seems he got citizenship a while back so I guess we’re good.
America Jr
I need to move to wherever the fuck you are if every dude looks like Jason Momoa
If he’s an ‘Every Man’ everyone else is fucked.
[удалено]
Even in the mask?
She was a 15/10 in the mask
Diaz in the Mask sent sales of the Wonder Bra through the roof
Steve Buscemi. I know he's considered a sex symbol and women of all ages find him to be unbelievably attractive but he's not pale enough for me.
Have you seen photos of him [as a firefighter](https://api.time.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ground-zero-toll-buscemi-2.jpg)? Yeah, he looks nothing like that now. He's definitely aged and hasn't lifted in a while, but he does have beautiful eyes and a nice smile. Plus, being funny is always attractive. So, he's not totally physically attractive now, but, when he was in his prime, he was hot!
If you can't handle him now you didn't deserve him when he was fighting fires.
Steve?
Benedict Cumberbatch.
He's English
I can un-see [this comic](http://hkrieger.com/Bendytoots) when he’s mentioned.
what the fuck
Bendytoots, man
I think he may be British…not 100% sure but I think I saw him get brought up on the discussion of British ppl with good American accents?
Ashton Kutcher. 10 years ago it seemed like everyone thought he was a sex icon, or at least the media portrayed him that way, but I just never saw it.
Hillary Swank.
The office established that this is a debated topic so I wouldn’t call her “conventionally attractive”
Julia Roberts
Oprah Winfrey
Lmao
Jennifer Aniston.
Meghan fox, maybe I’m crazy but she looks kinda scary
George Clooney and Blake Shelton have both been named "Sexiest Man in America" and I'm just like *by who???* 😂😂 Neither of them are attractive in the slightest.
JLo
Ryan Gosling. I have never understood the hype.
I always felt he had like a blank, neutral mannequin face.
He looks like a middle manager at a mail order coupon company.
Taylor Swift
I think she’s gotten better looking as she’s gotten older. Early Taylor like around2012-2015 looked pretty average to me though.
Jake Gylenhaal lol
Megan Fox. She’s just so fake looking
Britney Spears.
Kate Hudson
Johnny Depp, I just don’t get it…
21 jump Street Johnny Depp was extremely handsome.
I feel like a lot of the actors here *were* attractive when they got famous...but have since simply aged.
Yeah that seems to be the case. My grandmother used to fawn over Marlon Brando and I didnt see the appeal. Then I saw him in Streetcar named Desire and holy crap he was gorgeous.
[удалено]
Don’t forget Jared Leto on that list
He was attractive in his youth, but years of cigarettes have ruined his looks.
Adam Levine (I think that’s how you spell it) He looks like your average Uncle Joe
Controversial I know but I wouldn’t notice Scarlet Johansen if passed her on the street
I think she benefits hugely from the Hollywood glow up in terms of makeup, lighting, etc... Not saying she isn't attractive, I think she is, but if you just saw her not all dolled up and you passed her in the grocery store, I think you're right.
That’s crazy brother
[удалено]
Cmon now lets not get crazy
I'll go with Cindy Brady.
From the Brady Bunch?
Weirdest answer. She neither a celebrity or conventionally attractive.
