Video: Hollywood "Ugly": 7 talented actresses with atypical looks
2024 Author: Richard Flannagan | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-15 23:55
Apparently, the canons of female beauty are undergoing global changes again. And if you pay attention to the latest trends, then you understand that being like everyone else is simply boring and unfashionable. Therefore, girls do their best to attract attention and stand out from the crowd thanks to their extraordinary appearance, which was previously considered unacceptable for beauties. Hollywood stars were no exception, who managed to prove to themselves and to the whole world that it is not at all necessary to have an ideal figure and correct facial features in order to achieve success and win hearts.
1. Saoirse Ronan
Despite her very mediocre appearance, twenty-four-year-old Saoirse managed to dispel a dozen myths, proving that she has not only outstanding acting skills, but also a colossal gift of transformation. This is what helped the girl at such an early age to achieve tremendous success and universal recognition. In her arsenal there are the brightest roles and some of the most worthy awards ("Oscar" and "Golden Globe"), which even inveterate stars dream about, behind which years of acting career and the best films on the accounts. And it is worth giving her credit, because if you remember the movie "Lovely Bones", then there she was unconditionally associated with an innocent victim, whom almost the whole world empathized.
But in a touching Irish drama called "Brooklyn", Ronan showed herself from a completely different side. She played the role of a strong, devoted girl, who had to not only figure out and overpower herself, but also resist temptations in order to get out of a difficult situation as a winner with her head held high. So it turns out that previously called the ugly duckling, she went from an innocent victim to Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, in whose image she perfectly got used to on the set of the movie "Two Queens".
2. Chloe Grace Moretz
Chloe, 22, the daughter of a well-known plastic surgeon, first appeared on television at the age of seven. The young actress has forty-three films and projects under her belt, in which she managed to play one of the main roles, voice roles and take part. Possessing a pretty, almost angelic face, Moretz masterfully transforms from one role to another, trying on the images of otherworldly girls and vampires or grotesque comic book characters. And contrary to the surrounding opinion, and the evil tongues behind her back, whispering that with such a dad it was possible to reach Hollywood standards, Grace prefers to remain herself, without changing anything in her own appearance, she literally drank her success, making her own "not Hollywood" face is a business card.
3. Rooney Mara
Rooney Mara, who behind her back is called "a simpleton with a humped nose and lips-strings", did not go unnoticed either. But despite all the words flying about the young and extraordinary actress, she has become one of the most adored and beloved Hollywood stars around the world. She so easily gets used to the role that, it would seem, nothing is impossible for her. Take at least the same image from the movie "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," where Rooney appears to the public as a freak with bleached eyebrows, bangs shot and pierced on his face. But that's not all. The Oscar received in 2016 for Best Supporting Actress in Carol, one hundred percent says that Mara is incredibly talented and every role she received is justified.
4. Elle Fanning
Despite her small snub nose, chubby cheeks and colorless, almost fishy eyes, twenty-one-year-old El managed to appear not only in the films Babylon and The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Button, but also to play one of the main roles in the fantasy film Maleficent from the first Hollywood beautiful Angelina Jolie. In addition, behind the shoulders of a "faceless" role in the films of famous directors-screenwriters: from the legendary Francis Ford Coppola to the unsurpassed Steven Spielberg. But this is about something, and it says.
5. Dakota Fanning
Like her younger sister, Dakota also has an atypical appearance for Hollywood beauties. But this did not stop her at all from achieving tremendous success, confidently climbing up the career ladder. Winning many different awards and being one of the youngest Actors Guild Awards nominees, she enjoys enormous polarity among filmmakers looking to get her into their networks since childhood. An incredibly strange person in every sense of the word, Fanning never ceases to amaze and delight viewers with her unsurpassed acting and acting skills, which played into her hands at the age of six when she made her debut on the TV series Ambulance. It was there that she played one of her first and most beloved roles, becoming for a time a girl with leukemia who got into a car accident. Thanks to this role, the ascent of the young star began.
6. Mia Wasikowska
Possessing an outstanding appearance, Mia became one of the favorites of Tim Burton, who offered her the lead role in the well-known fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland". It was this picture that brought her real fame, making her one of the most successful and recognizable actresses in Hollywood. In addition, she perfectly played the crazy Agatha in the movie "Star Map" and won the heart with her acting skills of Guillermo del Toro himself, who offered her the role of Edith in that very legendary "Crimson Peak".
7. Zosia Mamet
Perhaps, Zosia (Zasha) is one of the few actresses who, having not the most luxurious and striking appearance, from the very first minutes won everyone's attention and love. As soon as she appeared in the teenage series "Girls", the audience immediately, holding their breath, tirelessly followed what was happening on the screens, admiring such an unusual, slightly crazy and real Mamet, who managed to carry through herself all the experiences of the heroine she played.
Continuing the theme - in order to achieve perfection, and in the end they simply became victims of plastic surgery.
