+37 Most celebrities are incredibly mid looking. amirite?

by Anonymous 1 week ago

People seem to forget that celebrities often wear makeup and have it applied by professional makeup artists. That's why you see so many unflattering beach photos in tabloids. It's easy to look good next to the water but in it is another story.

Not to mention, the bigger the celebrity the bigger the team of professionals (trainer, chef, nutritionist, surgeon, stylist, hair stylist, makeup, photographers that get the angles right, etc) who's very lives are dedicated to making sure that said celebrity looks damn good all of the time.

I agree in part, and disagree in other. In matters of taste, there can be no disputes. So I can say this actress/singer, whoever, is gorgeous. Maybe you think she's nothing special. Similarly, who you find attractive I may find completely unextraordinary. I do think on average, that celebrities are quite a bit better looking than the general population though. After all, that's literally part of their job. What's more is that they have the time and the resources to dedicate to maintaining their appearance. So even if you think Emily Blount is only above average, she's still that, above average.

i think the average celebrity is better looking than the average joe but i also think that most celebrities who are good looking you can find someone equally as good looking at ur local mall or college

by hermannaracely 1 week ago

Age plays a huge factor in this. Part of most celebrities job is to look good so they tend to take better care of themselves and are able to spend more money and dedicate more time to looking good. So a 50 year old celebrity is going to look better than the average 50 year old while college age we haven't destroyed ourselves yet.

Attractive but in a very regular way.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

In attempt to make this a more positive-leaning opinion, maybe it's that most people are actually beautiful. Celebrities just have their looks put on a larger display. They're not mid. They're just as pretty as everyone else.

by BetterLecture 1 week ago

To put an even more "positive" twist on this, average (the more literal definition) isn't even bad. It is the standard. And that's okay. Most people, by definition, are average looking, +/- a small deviation from the average. It's our cultures obsession with looks and being and having "more" that make "average" into a negative thing.

Yeah, I think it depends on how you define / think about "average" as well. A lot of people say "average looking" to them is someone that's not attractive or unattractive, just someone almost unnoticeable. I feel like this doesn't really take into account that, depending on a lot of factors, almost everyone around you could be considered at least "cute" to at least someone, and that "average" could also be attractive.

by bergstromalvina 1 week ago

But anyone can find the right outfit and makeup to look like the hottest person in the room. the main thing celebrities have over the public is just being lean with healthy lifestyles, the average person is a variation of skinnyfat or obese, nothing you'll wear will make you look good if you have the body composition of a sack of wet laundry and no facial definition as a result of the bloat that comes along with it.

by Practical-Will7128 1 week ago

Honestly, it's the time and money to have a healthy lifestyle that celebrities have and the rest of us don't. Easy to eat healthy when your private chef prepares 3 delicious healthy meals for you with snacks in between. Easy to go to the gym when you didn't have to work a 8-10 hour shift before hand. They have the luxuries that allow them to look good.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

All of this plus a million little procedures an average person couldn't afford or have time for.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Yeah but the workouts and dieting is a part of their job, it's built into their schedule. No doubt it takes commitment. I myself work a 9-5 and am in shape, used to work construction 5am-5pm and still hit the gym, so I do agree that a lot of it falls on lack of commitment for the general population, but I can definitely see that celebrities have it easier than the rest of us in terms of staying in shape. Not to mention, they can (and often do) have a full gym in their houses, can afford personal trainers to come and not only train but motivate them. They have infinite luxuries that make it easier for them compared to the rest of us. It's also a tough sell to say most of them work full time, are there statistics on this? I hear of actors that take months off at a time after completing a movie or tv series season, sometimes even years. Choices like that are things normal people could never do.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Yep it's part of their job to stay in a certain shape, while for most of us our job requires something else. It's really hard to be at a celebrity level lifestyle while not being a celeb

by No_Sheepherder_8381 1 week ago

You're greatly overestimating what a normal person looks like. Here's one way to think about it. If you picked 25 celebrities at random from those that attended the met gala between the ages of 25 and 45 and then picked 25 people at random between the ages of 25 and 45, on average, the group of celebrities would be significantly more attractive than the 25 random people sampled from the general population. And the reason for that would largely be money. They're going to be in much better shape on average, eat a healthier diet, put more into their appearance on average.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Most importantly, they have been hand-selected to be attractive through numerous cycles of sifting out other people who want to be in their position. 25 random people compared to them would be like night and day.

People don't understand how easy it is to make someone look good behind a camera. Seems like a lot of people get self concious comparing themselves to celebrities on looks not realizing they don't actually look like that in real life.

by Least-Demand5833 1 week ago

I actually think the opposite is often true. The camera really does add a significant amount of weight. It's no surprise so many actresses are skeletal. What looks svelte on camera looks like near death in real life.

by Feeneyaubree 1 week ago

I live in Los Angeles and you see celebrities out and about all the time. Maybe not the highest profile, but like you regular sitcom actors and the like. They are very easy to miss because they look and behave just like the rest of us. You wouldn't even know you were standing next to someone famous in line at a theme park unless they had some elaborate entourage, paparazzi, or security presence.

by geoffrey39 1 week ago

I live in Los Angeles as well and I can also confirm this is true, however as someone that has lived in a few different places people on average are more attractive here so it doesn't phase me seeing attractive people. But if I go back to my hometown in the North East I feel like they would be a little bit easier to spot.

by Practical-Grocery 1 week ago

They are very easy to miss because they look and behave just like the rest of us I agree but... that's also partially because there's an absolutely insanely amount of good looking people here in LA - especially at the type of establishments you often see celebs at. So yeah, they don't stand out that much here, but in my rural hometown they'd be considered really good looking compared to basically everyone else.

by Any-Emergency 1 week ago

Yes every time I go to LA, it's very noticeable that the average person is thinner, fitter and more groomed than in other US cities.

by StateEquivalent 1 week ago

LA really takes the hottest person from everyone's hometown and throws them in a blender. Like I've met Phoebe Bridgers and Kacey Musgraves and Sydney Sweeney has walked by me and they're all good looking but didn't stick out compared other LA people at the gym or a few non famous friends I've made. Like the best looking person you went to school with basically, except with a stylist and time to work out. But move a few miles out of the city and they're really going to stick out. Also Kacey/Phoebe call me

by cconsidine 1 week ago

I'm genuinely surprised at that & will stand corrected. I've never lived anywhere that celebs just wander around & the only 2 I've seen were not known for their looks on any way.

by Feeneyaubree 1 week ago

I've met a number of celebrities. Arnold Schwarzenegger was very obviously more attractive than other dudes and not just the muscles - 20 years ago, the couple of times we've met. Adam Sandler looks just how he looks on screen. Same with Mini-Me Vern Troyer. The professional athletes I've met - were much better looking than the average guy.

by Disastrous_Seat_5358 1 week ago

Used to bus tables at an exclusive health and fitness resort popular among the Hollywood crowd. Because it was off the grid and because nobody had smart phones back then, the celebrity clients often walked around in sweat pants and a t-shirt. On a few occasions I had to double check because I was supposed to be serving a celebrity at my dining station and I couldn't find them. Only to be told that yes indeed, that particular celebrity is right in front of you. They were so unassuming and unattractive I couldn't recognize them.

by Top-Procedure 1 week ago

Yes. With a bit of money anyone can become esthetically pleasing. I know people who are much more attractive than people on TV. I'm not one of them lol. But nevertheless you're definitely correct. Celebrities for the most part look like ordinary people.

Also, they are seen next to other celebrities on the internet. When you see them at a concert or wherever next to actual normal, even normal/hot people at a club, they are intensely good looking. I saw Cillian Murphy once and could not look away, he was insanely striking. Ewan MacGregor as well.

I don't know. I remember seeing Namoi Watts at the London premiere of Mulholland Drive in 2001 and being blown away by her natural beauty seeing her close up. Perhaps the prettiest girl I've ever seen in person. Sort of unpopular view, considering she's been made fun of for being untalented, but I also once saw Paris Hilton within arms reach in a club in like 2007. She was amazingly beautiful with essentially perfect skin, hair, body and face. I'd even say she looked better in person than on a screen. What pleasantly surprised me was that she was actually fun and non-pretentious; she even started dancing and interacting with random people in the club (her massive security guard was nearby, though... lol). I'll always remember when she grabbed my friend Melissa, put her arm around and started dancing with her. :)

by Overall_Put 1 week ago

People use a way different scale when judging a celebirty's looks vs an average person. I will say they are still WAY better looking on average than the general public.

by Sure_Chair 1 week ago

Completely disagree. They might not be to your liking, but most celebrities have great facial proportions, or ratios rather. A lot also have features and symmetry, that make them conventionally attractive. I don't mean it is a diss, and some might not have all these features, but most of them do. It's math and biology.

I'm a male and whole of my life i've been an avid movie fan. Allways looked at actors from artistic side, i was never attracted to any of them because 90% of them doesnt have a body i like.

by Kindly-Craft 1 week ago

Dumb take. They are obviously more attractive than the average person. The fact that people recognize this as average now shows how much we are exposed to media involving disproportionately attractive people. Go to Walmart and take a tally of like 50 people. I promise you the celebrities mentioned by OP are in the elite ranks of that tally. People tend to not even mentally recognize the personhood of people below a certain threshold of attractive. To most people you unconsciously fall into one of three categories: 1. Not attractive enough to constitute being a person worth remembering, 2. Attractive enough to acknowledge aka mid, and 3. Actually attractive. The thing is like 2/3rds of all people belong in the first category.
