People everyone seems to fancy/think is gorgeous except you

    As a flipside to the "People you fancy but wouldn't dream of telling your mates" thread.

    Scarlett Johansson. Not unattractive, but pretty darn plain. Yet she's widely considered drop-dead stunning? Do people actually believe this or is it slick marketing? Not one word of her apparent gorgeousness was mentioned when Ghostworld came out? Then Lost in Translation, a great movie but very hyped up, arrives on our screens and she's the world's hottest female. Is she really? Or were people told so many times that they started to believe it?! Please don't get me wrong. I'm not the jealous type and I think she's a very talented actress. I'm just puzzled by all the infatuation.

    Brad Pitt.. never fancied him ... I just dont see it tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Orlando Bloom. I just don't see the appeal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Dont be jealous because you look like homer simpson. She is pretty tasty, but I wouldnt say the hottest. I guess the media tell it to people, most will listen and obey (most of the time me included) :)

    Babe.

    Eh, I can't think of any at the moment, but I often find myself in disagreement with people over such matters.

    Ah heres a common one, Paris Hilton. I dont know about anyone else but Id rather a few brain cells in a woman also and she aint that hot, shes also like a twig. I would rather someone I can hold without risking breaking her legs or something. :)

    Britney spears never thought she was remotely attractive.

    Looks like an Alien in that picture. One woman I never ever found attractive was Britney Spears (in her pre trailer trash days), always thought she was as bland as....whatever. Also hate that english one....emily something? The one with the massive forehead that was on brookside. I think she's ugly, but all the lads seem to think shes one of the hottest females on the planet.

    Oh that'll annoy me. Have to find out who you mean. Anna Friel, by any chance? (the Brookside clue, obviously not the Emily one).

    I always found David Beckham repulsive, same with Brad Pitt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Totally, Irishpimpdude! Aw, I feel mean now. After a Google image search, I have discovered she is indeed stunning with make-up and whatnot. Actually, she seems to have blossomed into a beauty in the last couple of years. But when Lost in Translation came out, she was far plainer and the above pics of her were the ones doing the rounds at the time, yet that was when all the gushing started.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 119 ✭✭dubambman


    On the flip side, i think Marcia Cross (Bree in desperate housewives) is amazingly sexy, a real seductive temptress, but nobody seems to share the view.

    she was 16 when she made ghost world. calling her hot then would not have gone down well in prudish america. still preferred thora birch in that film though.

    anyway, britney spears does nothing for me. never did.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    To be honest, most women on television...

    Scarlett Johansson is hot, and according to some magazine has 'the best boobs in Hollywood'... thats just pushing it though.

    EDIT: Britney Spears... bleurgh


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,661 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Angelina Jolie. I just really don't find her appealing.

    Scarlett Johansen wasn't that pretty to begin with, but now she is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,514 ✭✭✭Rollo Tamasi


    fergie from the black eyed peas - eh hello! she is a tranny like
    also your one anna kournaikanviao the russian tennis player, i don't see the attraction in her at all. Big legs, no breasts, square face....minger

    imo of course.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭fuzzywiggle


    George Clooney just never did it for me

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,988 ✭✭✭constitutionus


    did a thread on this ages ago., kate moss. i just dont get it. keira knightly as well, all right i suppose, but ive pulled better down a night club so i really dont get the fuss. same with scarlett johansen, the add shes doing for the moment (i think its for eyeliner/lashes) makes her look like a dog.

    in fact most of what comes out of hollywood these days arent that impressive. off the top of my head i cant actually think of anyone i'd fancy rampantly. they all seem to be flat chested little so and so's:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 442 ✭✭arctic lemur


    George Clooney, dont find him in the least bit attractive or Ryan Tubridy...why would anyone fancy him like?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 284 ✭✭Rantorama


    Male: David Beckham has the sex appeal of a mannequin.

    Female:always though Kate Moss is a 'wouldn't look twice if you saw her walking down the street' type

    hell yes, ive fancied her since she played the nutter in melrose place!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,544 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    Maybe the line for extreme beauty is close to being ugly if that makes sense?

    Check out http://www.edgescans.com/johansson.html and watch Match Point and tell me if you still feel the same)

    Gabriel Byrne - I don't know. The man has a sort of rugged sex appeal.
    Mick Jagger - Again, there's a sex appeal factor.
    JFK - In fairness quite good-looking.
    Stephen Rea - :eek:
    Robbie Coltraine - :eek: :eek:
    Barry White - :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Can't see the massive appeal in Halle Berry. She was very popular regarding her looks a few years ago.

    One for the wimmens of the interweb, wtf is your obsession with that lunatic tosser Pete Doherty, eh eh?:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Leonardo DiCaprio: he is so babyfaced that I consider it quite sinister that grown women find him sexy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    Jennifer Aniston.

    Has the face of a man in drag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Scarlett Johansson - Don't see the appeal and she has the voice of a 90 year-old smoker.

    Angelina Jolie - Ugh. Those lips.

    Jordan - Tis some sort of beast.

    The Olsen twins - I think it was Jamie Kennedy who compared them to mini Cameron Diazs. My arse.

    Agree 100%. Fair plate to Brad Pitt for dumping her for Angelina.

    Sarah Jessica Parker makes me barf as well, another tranny-a-like.

    Angelina Jolie

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,646 ✭✭✭cooker3


    I have to go for Jordan, not nice and personality doesn't appeal to me. It's all about the personality ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry

    and i second jordan, met her once. amazingly stuck up and a hell of a lot shorter than you think. im talking 4'10 or so. that peter andre must be a midget


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,678 ✭✭✭Selik


    Cameron Diaz
    Jennifer Anniston
    Courtney Cox
    Glenda Gilson
    Sarah Jessica Parker

    Can't think of anymore but there's plenty of them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 704 ✭✭✭PeadarofAodh


    Mischa Barton...if the Big Bad Wolf came along and blew, he'd blow her scrawny body of twigs down!

    Go with bricks tbh...:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    Me. I just don't see it.

    But as the saying goes 100,000,000 elvis fans can't be wrong.



    Oh and to the person who said Robbie Coltraine. Who the hell ever found him attractive?Don't remember him being a sex symbol.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 132 ✭✭trillianv


    I agree with most of the names on this list...but then again the "beauty" that most people see is actually 3 hours of makeup, 2 hours hair and then another 5 with photoshop and airbrushing. Most of the movie stars look like crap when they are not being "made-up" to look stunning. Now I am no *insert fav beauty here* but I don't wear makeup for that reason...why would I spend so much time applying it to make myself not look like me??

    I really agree with SJ Parker though :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭OctavarIan


    Sarah Jessica Parker
    The other one from Sex in the City, the blond slapper one
    Lucy Liu (yes really)
    Jordan/Jodie Marsh/Paris Hilton (trash, pure trash)
