How about some ugly male movie stars?

Samuel L Jackson. Though he’s not ugly ugly but not particularly attractive. Same with Tim Robbins.

Kevin Bacon. He has a pig snout for a nose. Never found him hot, but I hear he’s a nice guy.

Yo momma

^^^ Blackmussy

How about that Ethel Merman guy in "Call Me Madam"?

Oh wow, such different tastes, Kevin Bacon is still very hot and i found Tim Robbins kind of cute.

Conversely i am baffled by the admiration here on Walton Goggins, a minor version of the also not hot Jack Nicholson (lookswise).

Kevin Bacon is fkin sexy as fuck.

Charles Laughton!

Walter Brennan

Edward G. Robinson was a very nice guy. Wallace Beery, not so much.

Buscemi

What's his face that is married to the college scandal bitch from Desperate Housewives.

R2- Many years ago my friend said Kevin Bacon has VACU nostrils- meaning like a Vacuum Cleaner.

R11- He was offbeat good looking in 1986 in the movie Parting Glances.

Michael Shannon.

It's distracting.

Loe Jocke

Clint Howard is aggressively ugly, Ron is just plain ugly.

Bogart and his hefty overbite.

Ratboy although I dispute the movie star part.

Adam Driver looks like a neanderthal.

A lot of comedic movie stars fit this bill. Seth Rogen, Kevin Hart.

William H Macy. A face only a mother could love.

Yes, Adam Driver!

Steve Buscemi, sweet but ugly.

That’s the one r12 couldn’t remember the name of.

Was going to say, yeah the one from that movie where some guy puts a dead body in a woodchipper. Where the pregnant sheriff is played by what’s her name, who's married to what’s his face the director. Fargo.

Pete Postlethwaite!!

You antidiluvian gits do recognize the names you've posted are meaningless to 99.9% of human beings alive in 2024. Right.

John C. Reilly… And he sounds like a cartoon character.

Jonah Hill

Movie Star = Headliner, Bankable Actor

A lot of the people mentioned are character/working actors, not movie stars.

A good example is Dustin Hoffman, who really was a box-office attraction in the late '60s and '70s with smash hits like "The Graduate" (1967), "Midnight Cowboy" (1969), "Little Big Man" (1970), "Straw Dogs" (1971), "Papillon" (1973), "Lenny" (1974), "All the President's Men" (1976), "Marathon Man" (1976), and "Kramer vs. Kramer" (1979).

He was nominated for lead Oscars for "The Graduate," "Midnight Cowboy," "Lenny," and won for "Kramer vs. Kramer."

r29, Loosen the bone Wilma.

Beery was absolutely a star. Human garbage, but he was the highest paid man in Hollywood. Yes, in 1894, as R27 points out.

r31, My sister dated Wallace Berry, I think you're prone to exaggeration.

The sad loser still FFing me because he thinks I’m defacto.

Barry Keough

R18, most people alive today remember only the Bogie after the cigs and booze had taken their toll, but when he was a young movie star he was truly handsome. Plus he had that off-the-charts charisma that no current under-50 actor can even sniff at.

In fact, that might be a good DL thread topic: Actors under 50 who actually have charisma.

Anyway, here he looks a bit like DL face David Tyler Muir.

^^DL *fave*^^

Jonah Hill.

Barry Keough looks like pure Irish trash. He's also very short. I don't understand the adoration he gets.

Ugly might be a bit strong...but I always thought Jacob Elordi was kind of strange-looking

F. Murray. He has an Academy Award.

Norman Reedus.

Barry Keoghan is the poster child for fetal alcohol syndrome. He cannot help being so ugly.

Nicolas Cage

Adam Driver, and I am tired of people pretending he's hot. Great actor, great body, but atrocious face. Go to the Smoky Mountains and all the local hillbillies look like him.

Richard Boone.

Ray Liotta

Frank Sinatra

George C. Scott.

My Pa use to say they should have just put an anus on the screen if they expected us to look at James Coburn.

Can we include TV? DeForest Kelley.

Eddie Izzard

Adam Driver

I agree with OP about Edward G Robinson but he was a fine actor.

Edward G Robinson is one of the greatest actors of all time.

Armand Assante, Dom DeLouise.

Brandon Routh

Jack Nicholson. He looks like an evil rat.

Don Knotts

Bill Murray

Will Ferrell

R59- This thread is about UGLY male stars not average looking ones. The thing that stands out about Will Ferrell is what a mediocre actor he is in addition to looking GAY FROM OUTER SPACE.

Dudley Moore

Kevin Hart

R60 your point? Will Ferell is ugly to me and I didnt even post that. He has beady eyes and ugly bushy brows. Bill has doughy features and terrible skin.

R55, you're joking, right?

Rondo Hatton

R44 NOBODY'S pretending that he's hot, you twat. He just is. Also, I like Michael Shannon's looks.

R50 Who?

Clooney, especially next to Brad Pitt.

Chuck Norris, Ernest Borgnine, Karl Malden, Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Sylvester Stallone, Gene Wilder.

Tilda Swinton.

Adam Driver. The guy from SALTBURN.

Danny DeVito

R34 He is aggressively ugly, please stop forcing yourself on us!! R41, 1000 times yes. I will NEVER understand his swooning fans. The hair is Keith Urban status ridiculous. He looks like he stinks too. Dirty hair, dirty body, dirty clothes, bad breath.

Peter Lorre

Glenn Close

R66 gets tingly for cousin fucker hillbillies.

Yes Michael Shannon is scary looking. Did he have a stroke or something? Or maybe a firecracker blew up in his face?

Michael Sheen

Benedict Cumberbatch

Matt Smith

Shirley Booth

Orson Welles

Soupy sales

Jeremy Renner

Gary Burgoff.

Jeremy Renner is a good example. So many actors with bulbous noses and small mouths.

Leonardo diCaprio

Yes, Steve Buscemi is "classically" ugly, but there's something very cute about him. I'd have a roll in the hay with him (were he ever to ask). But by all counts he's a mensch!

r55, you're cock-eyed.

Timothee Chalamet Mike Faist Barry Keoghan

The studio heads wanted actresses who looked Anglo but actors who looked like Everyman. Who can explain Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Jimmy Stewart, Fred Astaire, etc.?

R89 is a boob

Ugly is definitely in the eye of the beholder as Kevin Bacon seems to prove. Adam Driver is someone I absolutely cannt stand. I think Josh OConnor isnt Model hot but I fancy him so much..huge charisma. I saw him recently in an old episode of The Durrels and I watched the whole episode just because of him.

Harry styles

Fatty Arbuckle

Adam Driver is by far the ugliest guy who made it so far up. Maybe Marty Feldman.

Driver is the reason why I won't watch Coppola's Megalopolis.

Alan fucking Alda

Joaquin Phoenix

I agree that Bill Murray is not attractive. At all.

R92- Adam Driver is absolutely someone who looks

NEANDERTHAL

He looks like a cut rate Keanu reeves

R90, "everyman" does not mean ugly, unless you think most men are ugly. Spencer Tracy and Jimmy Stewart were reasonably attractive when they were young, and they were never ugly except perhaps Tracy when he was old. As someone said upthread, Bogart's days of greatest fame came after he had lost his looks. Drinking and smoking didn't help, but in Bogart's case, it was probably also bad genes. Some people just don't age well regardless of health habits.

As for Astaire - I've heard he could dance a little. Maybe that made up for his "ugly" (really just ordinary) looks.

Orson Welles? Sure, very ugly

R67 - he was on Star Trek as Bones McCoy.
