Our audience has some high standards when it comes to our favorite celebrities. Diply readers don’t just find any ‘ol celebrity attractive — in fact, the more conventionally attractive a celeb is, the less likely our readers are to be into them.
So when we asked which conventionally gorgeous celebrities the gang over at Aunty Acid think are a bit overrated, you can imagine how little our readers hesitated before roasting every single one of your faves into the ground.
RELATED STORIES
Even Henry Cavill. I know, I know.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg, though. Let’s dive in and see what other celebrity men our readers felt like dunking on, shall we? And never fear: I, a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, will absolutely be chiming in to give my unsolicited opinion on some of these because y’all are wild!
1. Henry Cavill
Embed from Getty ImagesMy jaw is truly on the floor with this one. Some of our readers don’t find Superman attractive?! I know why I don’t, but isn’t he, like, universally gorgeous?
Anyway, not only are some not into Supes himself, but one reader commented:
I had no idea who Henry Cavill was, so I looked him up..still don’t know…
That’s brutal.
2. Brad Pitt
Embed from Getty ImagesTo quote Queen Shania Twain: “So, you’re Brad Pitt? That don’t impress me much.” When one reader commented that she never saw his appeal, a Brad Pitt fan simply replied, “Well, try!” I gotta give it to her with that reply. That’s hysterical.
Another reader added:
He only really looked good in Interview with a Vampire.
Facts.
3. Tom Cruise
Embed from Getty ImagesThe comments on this one had me absolutely howling. My favorite has to be:
Not only is he not great looking, but he’s also strange!
You know what, yeah! He is kinda strange, isn’t he? But by far, the most savage Tom Cruise roast was this one:
And his teeth are weird. If you look closely, you’ll see that one of his front teeth is right in the middle.
So specific, so cutting, so correct.
4. Prince Charles
Embed from Getty ImagesPrince Charles. When he used to be considered an eligible bachelor.
One reader wrote. The comments got heated on this one, but I have to agree. In my extremely biased opinion, that guy was only ever “attractive” because he was a Prince.
5. Tom Hardy
Embed from Getty ImagesSee, I think of Tom Hardy as a weirder flavor of attractive, not conventionally attractive. He has a lil’ somethin’ somethin’, you know? However, one of our readers confidently listed him, to which another replied:
Are you drunk putting Hardy in that bunch?! He’s absolutely gorgeous.
(The “bunch” in question included the Tom Cruise mentioned above and Daniel Craig, but we’ll get to that later.)
6. Robert Pattinson
Embed from Getty ImagesThis one was hotly debated, too. I always thought he kinda looked like a guy who knows too many secrets, you know? Not bad secrets, but I think he has the face of someone who listens and remembers everything he hears. Anyway, there’s my two cents on Robert Pattinson. You’re welcome! One of our readers said:
I think he’s weird looking.
Hey, someone’s “weird” is someone else’s “drop dead gorgeous.” Not mine, but you know what I mean.
7. George Clooney
Embed from Getty ImagesNot only is George Clooney not attractive to some of our readers, one even said he gave her the “Eebie jeebies,” which made me laugh so hard I cried a bit. She continued:
I’ve always had the ick when looking at him.
Now, his wife on the other hand… Amal Clooney, call me!
8. Pedro Pascal
Embed from Getty ImagesNow this one I have to object to. Pedro Pascal is so damn pretty, guys. Have you seen that face? That jaw? The stubble and the artfully tousled hair? Come on now. One reader said:
Another very generic face, but at least he’s a good actor. I just don’t understood the tremendous amount of attention he’s gotten for his dad roles.
Cannot relate to this one. Pedro Pascal is a certified babe.
9. Jason Momoa
Embed from Getty ImagesAnother one that had my jaw on the floor. What do you mean people don’t find Jason Momoa gorgeous? That big, hulking, kind man with the softest looking hair you’ll ever seen? Y’all are crazy for this one. Here’s what a reader had to say:
Don’t get me wrong he is a fine looking man just doesn’t float my boat.
That’s surprisingly fair!
10. Tom Brady
Embed from Getty ImagesNow this one I understand! One reader said:
I don’t see the Tom Brady thing. I’m not even seeing the handsomeness. But I’m the only one!
Turns out, there was near-universal agreement over this one. No one jumped to his defense, either. Sorry Tom.
11. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Embed from Getty ImagesSo many make a big fuss over Dwayne Johnson (the rock) but I always thought he was very unattractive.
I think the Rock’s appeal entirely depends on whether you’re into bald guys. If you’re not, he’s never gonna do it for you, no matter how big his muscles are. Only a few people agreed with this one, which leads me to believe people on the whole do find the Rock attractive. This is a scientific study, after all.
12. Ryan Gosling
Embed from Getty ImagesThe comments on this one got rowdy. A lot of people agreed and roasted the Canadian icon pretty thoroughly. I think he’s a perfectly fine looking dude, but some of our readers did not hold back:
His eyes are way too close together, and one is higher on his face than the other….and then the shape of his face with that pointy chin.
Ouch.
13. Channing Tatum
Embed from Getty ImagesIs Channing conventionally attractive? I always thought he was a little more unique looking, but what do I know? One reader said:
I don’t get the appeal of Channing Tatum. Sure he can dance and has nice body but he does nothing for me.
I mean, the man can absolutely dance. I think that’s part of the appeal of him — he has rhythm!
14. Tom Hiddleston
Embed from Getty ImagesListen, Tom Hiddleston is attractive to a very specific subset of people, and those people are basically anyone who was on Tumblr in 2012 and had an unhealthy obsession with Loki. It’s all about those cheekbones, people! One reader said they don’t find he or Benedict Cumberbatch (another Tumblr boyfriend from a bygone era) attractive.
To be honest, I don’t really see how they’re considered ‘conventionally’ attractive.
I mean, if he was good enough for Taylor Swift…
15. Daniel Craig
Embed from Getty ImagesSo many comments named Daniel Craig as one of their picks, but so few actually explained why! One person said he was not “pretty” but had “slatherings of masculinity” and thus was considered handsome. Now, we don’t have time to unpack all of that.
16. Keanu Reeves
Embed from Getty ImagesHe has a heart of gold and still looks great. He does a lot of kind things for people and animals.
Awww.
