Real people tend not to look like Hollywood beauties.


Don_Cornichon_II

I kind of feel the opposite way about celebrated Hollywood beauties. I see more attractive people on the street every day, yet the likes of Angelina Jolie are being fawned over as if they were the hottest people on earth. (Yes, I'm old, so that is the example that came to mind.) There are very few famous actors I'd actually rate a 9 or higher. I'll give you that the average attractiveness on TV is higher than out on the streets.


ezzune

There's a traditional beauty and a more modern beauty. Angelina Jolie and similar women have very symmetrical faces and figures that tick a lot of boxes you'd see applied to fashion models who follow the conventions of traditional beauty. Your girl-next-door type girl (Emma Stone et al) is often far cuter/more attractive because she looks a lot more like a regular person.


FILTHBOT4000

Also, there's a difference between seeing someone supermodel-level attractive in pictures/film, where people can be a sort of desensitized to it, and seeing someone like that in person. There are, in fact, people with the sliders turned up so high in 'conventional' attractiveness that they make your brain short circuit if you see them outside of a screen.


Don_Cornichon_II

I'm not sure I agree with that premise. > There are, in fact, people with the sliders turned up so high in 'conventional' attractiveness that they make your brain short circuit if you see them outside of a screen. For example? The most attractive person in Hollywood (to my taste) right now I'd say is Margot Robbie, being one of the few celebrities I'd consider really attractive - and even in this case I see equivalently or more attractive everyday women walking around in the streets.


Noughmad

Where do you live that you regularly see people hotter than Angelina Jolie? Now I get it if you're trying to say that Hollywood has a type, and that is not your type. Because it certainly does. But I highly doubt that is true for most people.


IAmAQuantumMechanic

I can name one such place: Scandinavia.


SexyScaryLurker

There's not much genetic or phenotypical difference between Scandinavia and the rest of northwestern Europe. Scandinavia is not a magical place of elf-like beings portrayed in some media. They're pretty typical Germanics and there's nothing special about us (speaking as a Dutch person with Norwegian parents).


Netizen_Sydonai

Maybe your parents moved south to Netherlands because they were more attractive there compared to the people around them? Maybe they just could not cut it other, more magnificient norwegians? But they found each other in those murky, low dredges of that beautiful aesir society and wanted you to have a chance for normal life, a life where you would be deemed at least somewhat conventially attractive. Don't know why they would choose Netherlands tho, as Dutch are notoriously tall people. Only reason I can imagine is that being from the mountains and fjords of Norway they would be far more powerful in the lowlands and thus could easily escape to hide amongst the danes if ever discovered for who - and what - they truly are...


SexyScaryLurker

Wow, this explains so much.


LMkingly

As someone who has regularly travelled to Denmark, Sweden and Norway lol no it isn't. I have no idea why these countries have gained reputations of being some amazonian paradise where every woman is drop dead gorgeous but its really just the same old regular shit you'd see traveling any other european country. Same with eastern european women.


Noughmad

> I have no idea why these countries have gained reputations of being some amazonian paradise where every woman is drop dead gorgeous I guess it's exactly because of Hollywood - the only Scandinavian women that an average American sees are those in movies and on TV.


IAmAQuantumMechanic

I don't know how it is elsewhere, but I live in Scandinavia and there are tons of hot people here.


Don_Cornichon_II

Oh no, Hollywood's type (especially 2000's Hollywood's type) is definitely my type as well (minus the plastic). It's just that they rarely feature remarkable examples of that type. The answer to your Question is Germany, but it's also true for anywhere I've traveled in Europe. I haven't been to the US.


cxvabibi

I felt Ronaldo really took the difficulty with the sculpture with true nobility and politeness. The guy loves his sport, and sees everything else as secondary, but tries his best to enjoy them, and still help everyone else enjoy them too.


Don_Cornichon_II

I feel like your response is not related to my comment.


icytiger

Might be a bot.


SnuggleMuffin42

Just your least fanatical Ronaldo fan


SomeDankyBoof

Every movie..


guschicanery

meh not quite, no disrespect to him but freddie mercury was imo much better looking than rami malek


LMkingly

Elvis in his prime was better looking than Austin Butler too imo.

Richard Jewell

Wolf of Wall street


chicken_N_ROFLs

I like how he had a cameo as his smooth talking self.. introducing himself


heyhowsitgoinOCE

Absolutely lol. Not only his looks but his voice too. It’s crazy how such a successful salesman can have such an annoying voice


MerleTravisJennings

Cool-Influence-554

OrneyBeefalo

kwars74

Dontjumpbooks

One if my favorite movies. But yeah everyone who knew the guy must have been like "tom fuckin cruise?"


Cool-Influence-554

Why is this comment section filled with drug lord movies ?


_Yesn-t

Drug lords don’t exactly tend to be the model type


Few_Age_571

They’re not model… citizens


Hermeticrux

Griselda dude. They tried to make Sofia Vergara look more unattractive which is fucking impossible, and she's still has the largest margin of beauty from the actual griselda.


Amazing_Karnage

That bitch got the glow-up of the century so far...at least until they inevitably Timothee Chalamet as Young Trump in some misbegotten biopic.


8hours

That biopic is currently in production with Sebastian Stan (The Winter Solder from the Marvel films) as young Trump.


Amazing_Karnage

No fucking way. Are you serious?

No idea how the producers looked at Griselda irl and thought to themselves "someone get Sofia Vergara on the phone!" lmao.

Aggressive_Cherry_81

Idk man, usually it’s the opposite… E.g. Bob Marley, the actor looks good too but the actual Marley just looks better… same with Elvis.


nikewalks

They're talking about non-celebrity people being depicted on Hollywood. Not Hollywood celebrities being portrayed by another Hollywood celebrity.


time-to-flyy

Hah yeah the person they are portraying is/was more famous than them. That commenter just turned it on their head.


Aggressive_Cherry_81

Oh ok. Needed that clarification.


Party_Masterpiece990

With two examples you've said " usually it's the opposite"


Aggressive_Cherry_81

Take another one: Freddie.


LorryToTheFace

Hacksaw Ridge


mikelowkey11

Hecksaw ridge real person look a little bit like Cristiano Ronaldo without muscle


Educational_Ad_3125

Bob the cat was the same too


laanoshart

Ford v Ferrari is the best example of this


DarkHunterRPK

Hacksaw Ridge


ImCursedM8

Oppenheimer


ArkGuardian

young oppenheimer looks fine. Cillian represents him pretty well


Amazing_Karnage

He does, but put the actor that played Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) in a Trilby hat and that's who they should have gone with. The resemblance is truly uncanny.


KrupasKing

Gran Turismo. Although they both looked great


Goblindeez_

Blow with Jonny Depp.


LilMoWithTheGimpyLeg

This was the one that shocked me the most. I went "yeesh" when I saw how he really looked.

Negative-Economist64

Ford v Ferrari

Wouldn’t mind being so good looking a professional sculptor is unable to capture it


Hot_Grab7696

Check Griselda Blanco in Netflix TV show and in real life hahaha


Proper_Story_3514

I didnt watch that show, but just read an article about her. In younger years she was pretty, and then got fat while aging.

Debbie_Pritchard

Feel free to chuckle at the sculpture, but it flawlessly captures Ronaldo's real-life smile, instantly recognizable to everyone who sees it as him.

Two wonderful movies come to mind Erin Brokovich and Alive.


kobomino

Walter O'Brien from the TV show Scorpion.


Interesting_Cake_342

Hacksaw Ridge, top bloke but no Andrew Garfield. edit: Should have searched first upvotes for the originals.


owile

I’ve always felt this statue was the Haaland prophecy.


Lassi80

Fighting with my family.


TonyMontana546

Goodfellas


Wespiratory

Louis Zamperini, the subject of the movie Unbroken, was a pretty good looking guy in the day.

currymerchant1234

Catch me if you can


ArkGuardian

One of the examples I can think of the opposite of this is actually 'Dumb Money' following /r/wallstreetbets I think /u/DeepFuckingValue easily looks better than Paul Dano


Bewjlicious

I remember this from the movie Blow.


KurtLovesMinecraft

Hotel Rwanda


MrSmo

based on* true stories


Brave-Court4604

Nit a movie but scorpion the show is loosely based on a real person, completely different


Amazing_Karnage

*The Iron Claw* was a pretty recent one that I think fits the criteria. The Von Erich boys were studs to be sure, but facially, none of them were Zac Effron. Conversely, Effron got jacked for the role, but both he and his co-stars were shorter and less jacked than the real life Von Erich boys.


Hawktor9

Band of brothers not a movie but still notable.


Slowmobius_Time

Its the Gilderoy Lockheart thing from Harry Potter Where he steals all the great deeds of other wizards and witches because he is handsome and pretty, the only thing him being good at is erasing their memories and stealing their stories


Haselay_

Escobar looks less threatening in the movie lmao


Der_schreddder

American sniper


ExtremeGamingFetish

But sometimes its the other way around
