25 Best Looking Celebrities That Aren’t Actually Attractive

Posted by , Updated on March 25, 2024

First off, let’s make this clear: a person’s attractiveness is completely subjective. However, there are universal standards for facial beauty regardless of race, age, sex, and other variables. Scientific researchers have come to the conclusion that the ideal facial proportion is 1 to 1.618. In simpler terms, an attractive face is normally about 1 ½ times longer than it is wide. 

As crazy as it may seem, some of the best looking celebrities aren’t actually that attractive. That’s because there are many other features a person can have that makes them likable. In other words, a person might have perfect features, but their lack of character leaves a less-than-stellar impression.

Personality, charm, and kindness are just a few qualities that have nothing to do with how someone looks but has everything to do with how they are perceived. Just like the poet Edwin Rolfe famously said, “You can never tell a book by its cover.”

It comes to no surprise that Mariah Carey can be a diva at times. As beautiful as she may look and as angelic as her voice may sound, she can be very mean. Her nasty spurts of rude behavior make her drastically less attractive.

Just because someone is good looking doesn’t mean they are necessarily attractive. Jason Biggs, an American actor and comedian, would be a good example.

He typically plays those nice “funny guy” roles in movies and TV shows. Jiggs has a relatively good looking face and body structure but he is missing that “wow” factor that traditional celebrities normally have.

Either way, Biggs has been able to make a name for himself in Hollywood. He has an estimated net worth of $13 million.

It is extremely difficult to become a celebrity. Researchers actually discovered that only 0.0086% of the population of the whole world is famous. That said, an up-and-coming actor should be grateful for any opportunity to work on a set.

American actor Miles Teller seemed anything but appreciative when he landed a role in Divergent. He even told W magazine how he called his agent to complain about not having an interesting part and how the movie sucked.

So, while Teller is considered good looking, his actions are anything but.
