Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that’s something very personal. When it comes to celebrities, however, there are some that are just not nearly as beautiful as others and some that are just so much more beautiful than people care to give them credit. And while bashing the appearance of others is not our intention, there are some who believe that certain celebs are not just nearly as attractive as the world thinks that they are. Of course, it all depends on how you view these people and what you see when you look at them. For example, I was surprised, when researching this information, to find some of the following celebs on this list because I do think that they are beautiful. And I was surprised not to see certain celebs on this list simply because they seem to have such ugly personalities that make them far less attractive as far as outward appearance. Of course, that’s just my opinion. If you ask certain people, there are 10 celebs that just aren’t as attractive as the media would like for you to believe, even though they’re not unattractive at all. Read on to see if you agree.
Khloe Kardashian
Disagree. I find her quite lovely. In fact, I find her to be one of the most interesting Kardashians. Of course, she’s the sister with the best personality, in my opinion, and I do adore her quick wit and her ability to say what everyone else is thinking and still come across as someone you just love. But there are people who feel that she’s only considered beautiful because she’s a Kardashian and because she’s a celeb.
Renee Zellweger
I don’t know much about her, personally, other than the fact that she plays an adorable Bridget Jones. However, I am inclined to say that she was more attractive before her alleged plastic surgery. Why? Because whatever she allegedly had done makes her look like a different person, and I’m not all about that.
Madonna
Go ahead and hate me, but I do not find Madonna as beautiful as the rest of the world seems to think that she is. Perhaps it’s her standoffish personality when she’s interviewed, because she’s undoubtedly talented, but I just don’t get it. I’m not saying she’s heinous, by any means, but she’s just not as attractive as the media seems to make her out to be.
Kristen Stewart
She seems like an average girl to me. She’s not someone the world looks at and says, “Oh my goodness, she’s a knockout,” but she’s also not unattractive. There just doesn’t seem to be anything overly special about her that makes her seem like a knockout.
Justin Bieber
What a cute kid he once was, but what a shame that he’s been in so much trouble as of late. While he was undeniably one of the cutest kids around when he began his career in Hollywood, it seems that he’s let himself go a bit as he’s gotten a little older. It could be the hard partying or the fact that he is in trouble with the law so often, but we thought that innocent Justin was much more adorable.
Naomi Campbell
I believe it was Tyra Banks that said made the term “ugly pretty” so famous, and she was right. When it comes to models, it’s unbelievable that some people are super models when you see them without makeup and hair. But the magic worked by those makeup and hair professionals is undeniable (You’d understand if you’ve seen even just one episode of America’s Next Top Model). But Naomi Campbell, despite being one of the most famous supermodels in the world, is not as conventionally attractive as one might assume a supermodel might be. Then again, her attitude isn’t all that impressive, so we could be biased.
Johnny Depp
My husband does not get this one; he’s someone who people either love or they cannot figure it out. I get it. He’s not your typical beautiful person, and it’s just one of those things that is certainly in the eye of the beholder. No doubt, however, that he is the absolute best Jack Sparrow in the world, and I love and adore him for that role alone.
Channing Tatum
Go ahead and argue with me; I know I’m going to get some serious hate for this one. But I’m going to be honest here and say that while he’s an attractive man, he’s nowhere near as ‘hot’ or gorgeous as people like to make him out to be. He’s not unattractive, but I can say that he does nothing for me.
Tom Cruise
The obsession with this man is just beyond me. He’s not ugly, but so many men and women alike think that he is one of the most attractive men in the world, but I can think of dozens of men who are far more attractive. Perhaps, though, that my preconceived notions of him since the famous couch-jumping incident are a bit skewed.
Kate Upton
She’s lovely, not even remotely unattractive. However, when you look at her and then you think of all the women who are just so obsessed with how gorgeous she is and all the men who are just so obsessed with her beauty, I don’t get it. She’s cute. She looks, in my opinion, like every single high school girl around these days. I’m not actually sure I’d be able to pick her out of a lineup of homecoming court candidates if you asked me to do it in order to save my life. Cute, yes; but I just don’t get it.
And as a bonus, I’ll throw in Chrissy Tiegen. She’s adorable and I do love her exotic features, but I think that the world seems to find her a lot more beautiful than she actually is in reality. She’s lovely, yes, but she’s not a drop-dead gorgeous to-die-for woman in the same way that someone like Heidi Klum might be.
