What do the British have against dental hygiene?

Come again, OP?

Not this again

Croft's teeth look fine, what is wrong with you. I prefer the natural look to those generic McVeneers every celeb in the US seems to have these days. Usually oversized too, which results in a slight lisp.

Sebatian Croft is 22 and still playing high school boys, for example the just released How to Date Billy Walsh. Good looking nerd.

I agree he could improve with whiter teeth and clean, well-styled shorter hair.

R4 Does he always sound like that? Nasal irrigation might benefit him, too.

R3 The shape of them is fine, but that one orange tooth looks disgusting.

Croft looks a lot more Greek Cypriot (mother) than British (father).

American teeth are ridiculous. This pursuit of perfection is silly and unnatural. It's no longer a joke; people DO look like they have Chiclets in their mouths.

I'd rather have English.

R8 types rise to the bait every damn time.

Of course r8 might BE op.

In 1937's The Road to Wigan Pier, George Orwell addresses the working class attitude towards teeth, premised on the diet leading to tooth loss more than convenience.

"In Wigan various people gave me their opinion that it is best to get shut of your teeth as early in life as possible. ‘Teeth is just a misery,’ one woman said to me. In one house where I stayed there were, apart from myself, five people, the oldest being forty-three and the youngest a boy of fifteen. Of these the boy was the only one who possessed a single tooth of his own, and his teeth were obviously not going to last long."

I hope it's better now.

All british actors are ugly

Just noticed that his hair is starting to thin at the front, too. He hit the wall extremely early. Those British genes are a bitch.

R1: I suspect those are prop teeth.

See below

R13 Yeah but Joe Locke was already ugly from the start.

Incidentally, I remember reading an article within the past year or so about how dental floss is hard to find in the UK, because their dentists no longer recommend it, calling it futile or something.

How?

I brush AND floss after every meal and use mouthwash in the morning and at night.

I don't do anything fancy and my teeth are near perfect.

Thus, I enjoy going for a check-up/cleaning because it's quick and painless.

Flossing is definitely NOT pointless.

🤷‍♂️

For demonstrative purposes.

R15 I could maybe, maybe see flossing being less imperative if you’re using a Waterpik in its place or something, but what are they doing over there? Letting gunk accumulate in between their teeth?

R16 His teeth look fine. Are you that bored OP?

He could stand to whiten them.

Uh-huh.

R20 He's very handsome, but how come he so seldom cracks a smile?

Do a Google image search to see what I mean.

[quote]All british actors are ugly

Indeed!

R19 It’s that smoking they all do. Still hot.

I think the only British actor I ever found exceptionally beautiful was Cary Elwes in his heyday (c. '80s/'90s).

Him in THE CRUSH (with underage Alicia Silverstone) was something to behold!

I even felt sorry for his otherwise despicable Jonas character in TWISTER.

I could never understand why Hugh Grant was being pushed relentlessly as the next big British star instead of him.

R9

Didn't realize that there were rules for having an opinion.

I'm not the OP, but I guess since you're so smart you know that there's a way to figure that out BEFORE you shoot off your mouth, right?

Oh, r21, you're SO right. Just atrocious.

Jamie is Irish and says he's Irish. 🇮🇪

From Belfast, not Dublin.

See that GB in the filename? Mhm. 🇮🇪

Dental floss is available at every single supermarket and pharmacy in the UK. Jeez, the crap that people post on these threads.

R24

Grant had better hair.

O/T, but the Irish one that supposedly never smiles is VERY funny. Check out his bits on Graham Norton. (I think there an entire YouTube vid of just some of his appearances.)

He seems so normal and unaffected that it makes him ever hotter. If it were possible.

Here's the Jamie Dornan video r32 is talking about:
