There’s no such thing as a person whom everyone and anyone would find attractive. Certainly, there are conventionallyfacial and body features that might draw in quite a number of admirers. But there will always be folks who simply don’t get the appeal because they have very different tastes. And there’s no arguing about taste.
Recently, some-savvy internet users took to a viral thread on AskReddit towhich stars—whom most people would say are facially attractive—really aren’t all that appealing to them. Scroll down to read their opinions.
Bored Pandagot in touch with entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle expertfor his advice on how celebrities should respond to criticism about their looks and style, as well as how they can manage the stress of the entertainment industry to stay healthy. You’ll find his insights below!
This post may include
Chrissy Tiegen. She looks like a muppet to me. 🤷🏻♀️.
,
Chipmunk Face. Not at all attractive. IMO
“Criticism is inevitable for celebrities, but how they respond can shape their public image and personal well-being. The key is to differentiate between constructive feedback and baseless negativity,”explained to Bored Panda.
He said that while constructive criticism can be used for growth, baseless attacks should either be ignored or “met with grace.”
“Developing a thick skin and focusing on personal confidence rather than public approval is essential. Engaging in social media arguments or reacting emotionally often fuels further criticism, so responding with poise—or not at all—can be the most powerful move,” the expert said.
He added that stars should keep in mind that public opinion is ever-changing. “Trends, tastes, and perceptions evolve, and trying to please everyone is impossible. Instead, staying authentic and surrounding themselves with supportive people can help them navigate scrutiny.”
Ariana Grande scares me. That looks like a ghoul from Fallout.
,
Looked good before she got sick/developed eating problem.
Leonard DiCaprio he just gets weirder and grosser looking older he gets.
,
He was a dreamboat but that boat has sunk. But that’s aging for you, can’t escape it 🙁
Meanwhile, if all the criticism you get becomes overwhelming, you may want to consider focusing on your craft and the positive impact you can have on your fans. This can serve as a reminder of what truly matters.
was also kind enough to walk us through stress management in the entertainment industry. He pointed out that celebrities ought to prioritize self-care through a balanced lifestyle. In short, when you get the fundamentals right, it’s easier to deal with stress.
“Regular exercise, a nutritious diet, and sufficient sleep help maintain physical health, while meditation, therapy, or journaling can support mental and emotional well-being,” he said.
“Limiting social media exposure—especially avoiding mean comments—can prevent unnecessary negativity. Surrounding themselves with supportive friends, family, or mentors provides a strong emotional foundation. Engaging in hobbies, philanthropy, or creative outlets outside their main work can also offer a sense of fulfillment beyond public opinion,”told Bored Panda.
Gwyneth Paltrow. She’s so washed out and boring looking. Even her voice is boring. I have never understood that hype.
,
I find her to be just blah all around. I especially disliked her after her skiing incident.
Justin Timberlake. I remember girls used to go crazy over him back in the day and I truly just do not see the attraction. He looks very average and very smug all at the same time.
,
Yeah he was cool until i read how he treated Britney
Tom cruise.marcgw96: Also he’s best buds with the leader of the Scientology cult. The more I learn about Tom Cruise the more off putting he seems.
Makes my skin crawl all round.
“Ultimately, focusing on personal growth and inner peace rather than external validation is key to long-term resilience,” he said.
Who you findcan depend on a very wide range of factors, from your culture and background to your personal life experiences, family life growing up, and even your genetics. And beauty standards aren’t static: they can change over time and depend on geography, social norms, etc.
That being said, there are some threads that unite many disparate opinions. For example, Nathan H. Lents, PhD, a professor of biology at John Jay College, of the City University of New York,that height is desirable in men across cultures and times, and a low waist-hip ratio is seen as attractive in women, globally.
Something else that’s seen as almost universally attractive—in terms of facial features—is symmetry, which indicates good genes and physical. “Across many clever experimental designs, researchers have confirmed that we rate faces that are more symmetrical as more attractive than those with less symmetry,” Lents explains.
Kim KardashianI’m not saying she’s unattractive, she just does nothing for me.
,
She is unattractive.
Kylie Jenner.infinite_five: Her body was designed to such extremes that it’s disproportionate and freaky, imo. Very unattractive person inside and out
,
It’s all the plastic
Sabrina Carpenter. Just creeps me out. Feels like what a 90s futuristic sci-fci artist would make for a robot woman.
,
Love the description! A Stepford Wife or a fembot from Austin Powers!
“Like height in males and waist-hip ratio in females, symmetrical faces are more attractive to people across cultures and historical times.”
The main explanation for why facial symmetry is attractive lies in the idea that if developmental gene expression is done perfectly, you get perfect symmetry. Deviations from symmetry can indicate some sort of dysfunction, even if this is minor. Meanwhile, symmetrical features mean that the individual grew and developed well.
Pete Davidson, my whole family thinks he’s adorable,I just don’t see it.
That sallow face. Those dark eye bags. Nope.
Johnny Depp.He’s looked homeless for 20 years now.
He looks positively unhygienic. Wash your hair, man! Brush your teeth!
Timothee Chalamet.ReaverRogue: He looks like the vengeful spirit of a Victorian orphan.
He’s got something, I just can’t put my finger on it and that’s what makes someone interesting to look at
It’s not just the realm of romance that facial symmetry affects, though. People tend to pursue friends and allies based on facial features, too. “It’s an awful thing about us, but everyone wants to be friends with the rich, powerful, and popular,” Lents writes.
Who are somemost people probably find attractive that you don’t, dear Pandas? On the flip side, which stars do you find attractive, though not many others would agree with you? Looks aside, what personality qualities do you value the most in public figures? Let us know in the comments below!
Barry Keoghan. His face honestly looks like random features thrown together to me.
,
Good description
Sara Jessica Parker.kyledwray: I agree 100%, in every picture, in every role… except Hocus Pocus. I don’t understand it. I don’t even necessarily like it. I don’t like Sarah Jessica Parker, but Sarah Sanderson can get it
Not a looker.
Julia Roberts has never been attractive to me.The_Zeroman: When she smiles or laughs her head splits open like a muppet and it freaks me out, her mouth is just way too wide
She looks like Steven Tyler
Jennifer Lopez. She looks so average, you can probably find random women that look like her in all of Central and South America. And they’d probably have nicer personalities on top of that.
Never saw the appeal
Robert Pattinson. When I first saw him appear in Twilight, it felt like a hundred balloons had all deflated within me. Just disappointment -____-SnooJokes5038: He supposedly has the “perfect” face, according to scientists or whatever. I don’t personally find him attractive
“this is the skin of a killer bella!” *disco*
Harry Styles. Several of my coworkers are convinced they’re gonna marry him, but I don’t see the appeal.
,
Good thing they chose this picture so I can see for myself what he looks like…???
Ted bundy. How in the h**l the media called him handsome is beyond me. He’s ugly af.
,
He had a charm to him that made him attractive to women unfortunately
Tom Brady. I do not understand.Trixie: He is so creepily fake in every way imaginable, including his face. Every expression looks forced, as if he concentrated so much on football that he never learned how to be able to come across naturally.
Aliens are indeed Among us
Miley Cyrus- cannot see why she is so popular.
EXACTLY! Immature, too.
The singer from Maroon 5.Universallove369: Stop. This was my thought reading this. Adam is not even the smallest bit attractive to me. He seems like a super douche to boot.
,
He’s one of those rockstars who has the mindset he deserves any model, and only wants models. Very shallow person.
Beyoncé and Giselle. Obviously not ugly but I just don’t feel the hype.
Never got the Beyonce thing-mediocre all round. Dunno who the other is.
Mine is Mariah Carey I just don’t get it.
She was beautiful until she married a rich producer and had loads of surgery and started believing the whole Diva thing.
I mean once surgery comes into play, looks always take a dive. These people that undergo surgery to become more beautiful end up looking like Madonna or Joan rivers to me. At least Joan was funny.
Yeah honestly cosmetic plastic surgery (when unnecessary) just makes people look awful and fake.
For me it’s Lily-Rose Depp. She’s not bad looking…but her face looks like something that a Family Guy animator could easily draw lol.
,
Funny how 2 beautiful people’s child looks a bit ‘off’
Taylor Swift. I don’t see it.novahouseandhome: she looks just like a mean girl in high school that we called rat face. even 50 yrs later my sister and i were talking about how TS looks just like rat face!
Yeah, she’s so overrated. Her music’s tolerable, but I’d rather listen to nothing at all.
Hailey Baldwin looks average and plain to be considered a supermodel?
I agree, generic and boring.
I’ve never understood calling George Clooney the sexiest man alive. He is decent looking but if he worked at a gas station, I’m sure no one would wonder why he was working there 🤷.
,
Agreed
Adam Driver. I don’t find him attractive at all.
Not surprised. No way Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford produced THAT in Star Wars! 🤣
Cara delevingne.she always looks screw faced and annoyed.never seen the appeal in her.
Another one always frowning, and a very poor ‘actress’
None of these people are “ugly” to me at all, I just think their looks are overrated.Bradley Cooper. Pretty eye color, but otherwise just looks like a regular dude to me. In certain pics, he’s kind of goofy looking even.Channing Tatum. Someone said he looks like a thumb, and I kind of agree.In the 80s when I was a kid, Cybill Shepherd was a big deal. I don’t really get it.I’ve heard a lot of men say Susan Sarandon is gorgeous. Her eyes look like golf b***s to me.
Apparently “baIIs” is censored now. Way to go, BP.
Jennifer Aniston.Silver-Instruction73: Nice body. Face is meh. Wide jaw and pointy chin is what does it I think. Probably why she usually drapes her hair over the sides of her face.
I never thought she was attractive at all.
Glen Powell is just not that good looking and his legs do weird things when he walks.
Someone said he was a Capybara in human form, and I can’t unsee it
Travis Kelce being the sexiest man alive. He’s not bad looking, but of all the guys in the world he won?EDIT: Hey so it was brought to my attention that is was his brother Jason who won. My apologies. Jason is cuter. Still not Sexiest Man Alive in my book.
Actually, Jason’s wife is pretty cute.
Gordon Ramsay? Women drool over him and I’m like, why? Lol.
What women? This is the first on the list I have literally never heard another human utter.
Angelina Jolie. Someone help me understand.
Again, ahe was amazing when young and still had a punky attitude. She has gotten too plastic.
Ellen Pompeo – I never understood why every man that walk’s in that hospital on Grey’s Anatomy fall for her. Not only is she incredibly plain to look at but her character is so grumpy & snarly all the time. I don’t understand the attraction.
Uhmmm, because it’s a show and the script says so.
Dakota Johnson.Cannelope: In the most respectful way, she embodies the spirit of plain
Bad actress and beige personality.
John Cena for me. I just can’t see it.
He is getting weird looking the older he gets, like his face is made from play doh
Jeremy Allan White.Technical_Image2145: He looks like a reincarnation of Gene Wilder. I quite like his looks but he is the walking definition of ‘line cook hot’.
Loved him in Shameless.
The red head from s*x and the city. She always rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it’s the little teeth and all those gums.
All of them. The s*x and the city protagonists. None of them was pretty looking… Or had pretty personalities.
Horrible
Millie Bobbie Brown.Educational-Lynx-370: Girl went from 9yo to 49yo in 10 years
Difficult to grow up in front of the camera. She certainly works hard.
Sydney Sweeney.aproposofnothing32: Her eyes are upside down! I keep saying this and no one else sees it! Ugh! I hate being right alone!
OMG they’re right about the eyes!!!
Cameron Diaz.lovethatjourneyforus: Her eyes are so tiny and sunken, and her mouth is so big!!
She was amazing in The Mask and looked a million dollars
Matthew McConaughey.HarveyNix: I’m gay and normally appreciate any tanned guy with no shirt on, but I want him to cover up and get checked by a dermatologist after all that sun damage.LumpyPhilosopher8: Every time I see him I think about that interview he gave where he said that he doesn’t wear deodorant because his “natural aroma” smelled so good. He’s disgusting.
I liked him when he was young. So handsome in Contact with Jodie Foster…but he really aged into his ugly personality, did not see that coming, what a shame.
Maggie GylenhaalThe fact that she was the love interest of Batman in the dark knight, was more unbelievable to me than any other plot element in the movie.
That’s Katie Holmes.
Ryan Reynolds.AnyAnswer7901: Those beady eyes are too close together and that HUGE forehead 😬
He looks like Ted Dansons long lost son
Anne Hathaway. It’s not that she’s not attractive, I just always thought “yeah that’s Anne Hathaway” but I was never aware so many people had a crush on her.
I have always thought her to be very attractive.
Zendaya. Here in Brazil you see lots of “Zendaya like” girls on a trip to the grocery store on monday morning.
She doesn’t live in Brazil, but regardless, she’s still a pretty girl!

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I’ve been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I’d rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I’ve always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real.
At work, I’m a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I’m passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design.
In my spare time, I’m an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle.
I thrive when I’m outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

I’m the Visual Editor at Bored Panda, responsible for ensuring that everything our audience sees is top-notch and well-researched. What I love most about my job? Discovering new things about the world and immersing myself in exceptional photography and art.
This is a very mean spirited post.
Obviously! While it’s true “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, a few of the entries here are truly aesthetically pleasing to look at. And some of these people were gorgeous in their prime: Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, George Clooney…The biggest joke is that these critics don’t show any photos of themselves. Now that”s hilarious.
To be fair, ALL of these people rely at least in part, on being attractive for their career. Therefore it’s only fair to be able to comment on their looks. Comparing them to Dave from Accounts isn’t really fair…
Actually Dave from accounts is a bit of a hunk, though don’t mention it.
We’ll know where to find you if you go AWOL during your retirement party 😮
No hanky panky 😂
Most people would pay money to look like 95 % of the people on this list
I agree. But we also clicked on the thread, made comments and voted. They got the petty side of us with this one.
Okay, but most of these are mean-spirited celebrities. “Skinny body, skinny mind, skinny heart,” says my nonna.
Yes. Half of the posts criticises the plastic beauty looks, and the rest chew on anyone who has any kind of unique features.
Yeah. Thought it was a bit on the umm… catty side
I feel dirty reading this article.
Yeah, but we read it
Great! Now do the pictures of the people that posted!
