It is generally accepted that in order to become an actor, model or TV presenter, you must have an ideal appearance that fits the standards of beauty. Nevertheless, these famous actors and actresses proved to everyone that you can be not very beautiful and have a completely non-standard appearance and at the same time gain fame and recognition. Perhaps it's not just the looks, but also the enormous talent. These stars are an example of what you shouldn't worry if you are not Brad Pitt or even Angelina Jolie.
Tilda Swinton
“I always knew I was not beautiful. This is a great advantage. All my beautiful friends sooner or later put their appearance into circulation. I'm not just talking about sex. They remember all the time that they have blonde hair, blue eyes, full lips, and they must behave accordingly. This is a lot of pressure that I was deprived of”(from an interview with Esquire).
Javier Bardem
Javier Bardem thinks that he looks like a bulldog, but this did not stop him in his acting career. There was a time when he was worried about his appearance, but then decided that his strong point was charm and charm, which perfectly hide flaws. "What if I make them my highlight, the one that will distinguish them from others?" - Javier Bardem decided. He is embarrassed that he is perceived as a brutal macho, although in reality he is rather shy.
Bjork
“I don't like myself only when I'm tired. If you show me two photos, in one of which I look ugly and in the other tired, I’ll only worry about the last one.”(From an interview with Esquire).
Hilary Swank
The actress claims that she is not afraid to experiment with her appearance and not look like everyone else. Swank jokingly says that in her career, roles bring her success in which she does not at all look like a woman. In an interview, the actress admitted: “I was 16 years old. I confess to you, it was not easy at that time to realize that I was no longer a girl, not a child, but a young woman. That I have to look and behave in a special way in order to please others in order to be successful. All this made me terribly nervous."
Chloe Sevigny
Chloe Sevigny's finest hour was her role in the film "Children", and since then the actress has been insanely popular. She is taken on the role of drug addicts, maniacs and hooligans, girls "with a dull look." In an interview with W magazine, when asked what the secret of her beauty was, the actress replied that it was childlessness. “It seems to me that gestation, childbirth and the stress of raising children make women terribly old. Especially those in their thirties - they are much stronger than those in their twenties. So, in order not to grow old, you do not need to have children. And you also need to have good genetics."
Hugh Laurie
“People are fed up with perfect beauty. It is tiresome and fake. The humor is much sexier. The funny is much more attractive. Much more attractive is a person who does not take himself seriously. You must take seriously everything you say and do, but not yourself. It makes you interesting,”the actor said in an interview.
Benedict Cumberbatch
“At first I was scared that I would be left out at all, but over time I realized that only skill can earn the place that I now occupy. And I am grateful to fate for the hint: I started to work hard - and success came! - says the actor about his appearance.
Eva Green
A girl with a non-standard, but attractive appearance and remarkable acting talent, Eva Green once said in an interview: “In Los Angeles I feel like an ugly duckling. Or as if I flew from Venus. Eh, everyone should be such ugly ducklings!
Tim Roth
“I have to admit that I'm not Brad Pitt,” the actor told Esquire. - At home, I am often compared to (actor) Robert Carlisle. Well, we really have a lot in common. We are both British and both are damn ugly,”- that's what Tim Roth says about his appearance.
Sarah Jessica Parker
“Do I have large silicone breasts, botox or large lips? No. Do I fit the ideals and standards of some men writing for men's publications? Probably no. Am I really the least sexy woman in the world? Cool! Somewhat shocking when men are Rather cruel. This upset my husband, because in such a rating his opinion should also be taken into account. Such judgments on the basis of appearance, admission of unfitness, is madness. But what can I do? I guess it’s impossible for all people to like it.”
Daniel Craig
The highest paid performer of the role of James Bond, when asked by Glamor magazine if he considers himself the standard of masculinity and sexuality, replied: “You know, I have been married for five years (to actress Rachel Weisz) and I prefer not to think about such things. As for the role, as a rule, Bond is portrayed as cool and dressed in a suit with a needle. But this is a cliché, and this image is not very interesting to me. Therefore, I try to play him as naturally as possible, so that he is a human, not a cardboard figure, albeit beautiful."
Vincent Cassel
The French actor, who, due to his characteristic appearance, often plays the role of villains, admitted in an interview with Esquire that he loves to play negative roles. “In their films, Americans always give me the roles of scum. But I take revenge on them: I make my bastards cooler than their heroes,”he says.
Cate blanchett
Once the reference queen of the elves was teased by a frog for its large mouth, and a watchtower for its height. “Over the years, I have become less fixated on myself and my appearance. Aging is a natural and exciting part of the development of each of us,”says the actress.
