Why Are Average Looking People Declared Heartthrobs in Hollywood?

Men like Harry Styles, Jason Momoa, Benedict Cumberbatch, etc are declared heartthrobs. Why does Hollywood declare these average looking guys heartthrobs all the time?

by Anonymousreply 54June 6, 2022 1:21 AM

Because they have the "IT" factor. As we can see, it doesn't matter whether an actor has talent or not. If they have the "IT" factor they will succeed.

Charisma.

Did you seriously just compare Harry and Benedict to Jason Momoa??

by Anonymousreply 3May 24, 2020 3:31 PM

Momoa is far from average looking. And he appeals to a lot of different ethnicities.

I would say people like Seth Green or Elijah Wood are ridiculous when called "heartthrobs".

How is Momoa average? He was gorgeous when younger.

There's already been repeated thread after repeated thread on this OP. Why did you find it necessary to come here and start another? Why? Why OP? Can you give us an intelligent, honest answer? Can you? Why would you come here and post this kind of shit yet AGAIN when there have already been so many prior threads on this EXACT same subject. Do you really think this is that damned interesting that it warrants another entire thread to be started? DO YOU??

Why couldn't you have done a search first OP? That would have been the polite thing to do. What you demonstrated was just plain selfishness. You have shown that you don't think about anybody but yourself. It's all about you and your own satisfaction. Next time before you post, do us all a favor and do a search. We don't need another duplicate thread just because of your laziness.

There’s no denying that Hollywood is pushing a lot of ugly actors on us at the moment i.e. Adam Driver.

by Anonymousreply 7May 24, 2020 3:38 PM

Better than pushing "pretty" people who can't act R7.

Who in Hollywood is calling Cumberbatch a heartthrob and if they are, why aren't they casting him in heartthrob parts?

THIS is average?! I don't think so!! If only everyone could be so average.

No one is declaring me a Hollywood heartthrob, cunt R13.

And yes, I look better than both those fucking goons.

Regardless of what you feel his appeal or looks are, Momoa is not by any definition average looking.

Ignore R14. She is a malignant narcissist just like her fat orange hero.

Momoa is uncommonly fugly. Like Driver, but in a different fugly way.

by Anonymousreply 18May 24, 2020 3:56 PM

I love Adam Driver’s hot body though.

I have a handsome face which helps in life In many ways. But I think more average-looking guys are just better in bed than pretty men who really just don’t try as hard. Some of the best sex I’ve ever had was with guys who a lot of folks here would reject immediately.

by Anonymousreply 19May 24, 2020 3:56 PM

Look, R13, we all can't be as ugly as you.

R16 is a triggered Momoa stan who sees Trumptards in everyone who doesn't come at the sight of her caveman Jason.

Momoa looks much better in the picture on the right. I hate the over-tattooed look.

Samoan men don't generally age all that well. His forehead really does not photograph well.

Jason Momoa isn’t my thing, but he isn’t average looking. He is tall and has a good body. He stands out in a crowd and I can understand why men and women find him hot. Adam Driver isn’t even average. Dude is just butt ugly.

by Anonymousreply 25May 24, 2020 4:13 PM

Where is OP posting from that Cumberbatch is average-looking? Innsmouth?

by Anonymousreply 26May 24, 2020 4:21 PM

If it were up to me, only runway-model standard actors would be allowed to play romantic roles. Just as I don't like amateur porn, if I have to see someone's face blown up on the screen, I want them to be classically beautiful unless they are playing character actors.

Boy, are you stupid, R27. Ever heard of Humphrey Bogart in a little movie called "Casablanca"?

Why does DL declare average looking people (who are disgusting) fuckable? Chris Twatts and Qtard Shaman are all over these threads.

by Anonymousreply 31January 24, 2021 4:46 AM

Momoa is pretty fucking beastly. ‘Beastly’ is not a good thing in case you didn’t know.

Now, is he sexy? I guess? I’m not into huge, gigantic guys, but if we were in a sauna together, naked but for our towels, and he started touching his penis through his towel, would I hook up with him? Absolutely. But he’s not handsome. *I’m* handsomer than he is, for god’s sake.

It's the media's long-armed power to influence the masses by presenting an actor or actress as a pristine package. While many are genuinely attractive, in that most people would acknowledge their good looks, the fact is that most of them, outside of the context of the Hollywood machine, are no different than your average citizen. One of my good friends is a close friend of Josh Hartnett, and has known him long before his career started. She completely acknowledges that he's a good-looking guy, but she's always maintained that the media image of him was absolutely nothing like his real persona. She actually said he looked nothing like his media portrayal in real life. While he was portrayed as some hot hunk of man, she always knew him as a rather awkward, dorky, hipster-esque goof. I've never met the guy, but I've met several of her friends who also know him, and every single one confirms her reaction.

Yes beauty is somewhat subjective, and certainly cultural, but why do so many on DL insist that celebrities that are universally considered attractive are “ugly” or “hideous”.? They’re just being cunts.

The “Brad Pitt is so gross and has such bad skin!” crowd. Michelle Pfeiffer? What a dog, poor thing! Shut up you contrarian asshole.

I’m not talking about having a “type” as most people do. And you certainly don’t have to be perfect looking to be sexy. But we all know what the North American standard of beauty is. They’ve done studies on this and it’s actually based on some science .Like hip/waist ratio, evenly spaced features, big eyes and clear skin in women. Square jaws, sleek toned, V-shaped torsos on men. High cheek bones on both sexes. It also transcends race, as Tyson Beckford’s career would attest to. . Of course it’s going to change from person to person based on all kinds of reasons, but if you think Rob Lowe is ugly but you masturbate to images of Marty Feldman at night, well have fun being in the .0001 percentile. And you’ll fit in fine on DL.

Glad we don’t see much of that twerp Tobey Maguire any more.

He’s not good looking, but if he were gay, i’d fuck Seth Green. Even I don’t understand my attraction. I do like pocket gays.

by Anonymousreply 36January 24, 2021 9:58 AM

They are declared to be heartthrobs because talent, charisma, money and fame are deemed to be attractive.

by Anonymousreply 37January 24, 2021 10:10 AM

Stupid thread. Absolute shit people and shit things are declared delectable all the time. Trump was declared a great businessman. McDonalds and Starbucks declared tasty. Shit TV declared the "golden age". See a pattern, stupid twat OP?

by Anonymousreply 38January 24, 2021 10:17 AM

Because heartthrobs are targeted towards women, and women's ideas of beauty are more varied than gay or straight men's. Or rather, the distribution is different: if, as R34 points out, men who masturbate to Marty Feldman account for the .00001 percentile of gay men, women who do so are closer to the 1 percentile, so sexing Feldman up could actually generate some profits. Hollywood is gradually becoming aware of this, hence the growing number of "average" and "ugly" heartthrobs. And no, it has nothing to do with ugly women "settling" for ugly actors because they can conceivably score with them. That's male thinking; women have Cinderella to aspire to.

by Anonymousreply 39January 24, 2021 1:41 PM

Because you don't need to have a "heartthrob" look, whatever that is, to be really attractive. Personality might also play a role.

Um, excuse me, all runway models are not classically attractive. Some people have such a narrow standard of what is attractive. How do these people compare to what they're worshiping?

Super smart PR teams know that most people will believe what they are told over time. Most celebs are actually not good looking but the packaging is done really well.

Momoa is DIFFERENT EXOTIC looking, add in his height and build, and there you go, but is he remotely classically handsome or pretty? NO in my opinion..

funny how we the public are SOOOOOO brainwashed by hollywood! i mean come on, haven't we ALL seen literally drop dead gorgeous men with incredible bodies at our local gym, at a sports event, at a concert, at a bar, on the beach, in the mall, and so on and so on!....but yet because they are "nobodies" and work regular jobs we don't look at them like worshipping worthy heartthrobs...

R42 delete edit. R41 was worded as I intended.

I really need to have a neurological exam.

I hope the OP is a lesbian, because any gay man who doesn't recognize Momoa's sexual charisma is some sort of heterosexual who's fooling himself.

Dream on. Nowadays, he may look like he stinks some of the time but Jason Momoa was very cute back in the day, especially in Baywatch Hawaii.

R12- He looks like a big GOON to me.

Momoa is not average. He's not classically handsome, but who cares? It's not like they are asking him to play James Bond.

He looks like he is an animal in the sack. He looks like he'd bend you over and have his way, make you his tiny plaything. And you would enjoy it, after fainting from orgasms.
