Beautiful Men Who Have Ugly Children

It happens, but it never fails to amaze me. A case in point is an actor many of you may not even know or remember. Peter Ratray, in his youth was one sexy man. I first saw him in 'Young Lady Chatterly' back in the 70s. He also made the rounds on some of the daytime soaps. Handsome face, beautiful hairy chest, major dream boat IMO. How in the world could a man who looked like this produce a son that looks like that? His son is Devin Ratray who played Kevin's mean fat brother in 'Home Alone'. He's only gotten fatter through the years.

I'm trying to find other movie idols who produced bridge troll children.

My asshole brother who then looked like Jim Morrison looked at his premature daughter and said OUCH.

Now she's a beautiful accomplished professional woman with a good husband and nice family and he's approaching sixty alone, three failed marriages, and weighs about 300 lbs.

Really good looking people are usually going to have kids who aren’t as good-looking, but they are rarely ugly. The guy in OP’s photo is so fat it’s hard to tell, but he’s probably not ugly. The Willis sisters are a legit example, although I feel a little bit bad saying that and I think “ugly” is going too far. They are interesting because it’s not that they bear no resemblance to their parents, it’s just that you wouldn’t expect those features to rearrange themselves so unsatisfactorily, three times. They all have nice skin and hair and decent figures, though.

Rob Lowe's sons aren't ugly but they're average.

I'm a little tired of his looks, too, since he makes himself so ubiquitous. But I used to think he was great looking.

Elizabeth Taylor (not a man, granted) never had any amazing-looking children.

My mother looked at my sister and me when we were born and burst out crying, saying we looked like little monkeys.

It wasn't our fault we were born premature and with low birthweight, or that I spent six weeks in an incubator!

But I turned out gorgeous. I never noticed about my sister.

My parents were both good looking and Ime and one of my 2 brothers turned out quite attractive. My poor younger brother,however,did not.

He looks adopted.

While I'm not very good looking, I'm considered attractive and handsome by some (if you like the type)

My younger son looks like Bradley Cooper in this pic, except with almost black hair and not so prominent ears.

This happens mostly because the parents have had umpteenth surgeries and upkeep in between so they no longer resemble themselves when they were kids.

R27 once Bradley Cooper said he found himself profoundly unattractive and went on to point out why. After that, I can’t unsee what he described and have come to agree with him.

When I saw this thread, James Marsden immediately jumped to mind. His profound love for his very basic looking kids makes him even hotter. I’m mostly referring to the oldest son.

Ryan O'neal was a beautiful man all throughout his life, but none of his children turned out to be attractive, especially his son with Farrah Fawcett. Ryan and Farrah were the most beautiful couple, but their one and only child together is absolutely hideous. Luckily, Farrah never had a daughter because those kinds of comparisons can destroy a girl's self-esteem. Poor Redmond definitely got the short end of the genetic stick.

r49 - I never thought Farrah was beautiful/gorgeous. She was healthy looking to me: great hair and teeth, very fit body, etc. Her eyes were quite arresting.

Redmond has her facial structure...a longer face, cheekbones showing. In my opinion, he looks quite a bit like her and not really like Ryan at all, except he did get Ryan's coloring (hair, skin).

Madonna's biological daughter, Lourdes, isn't ugly but I find her unattractive. She looks slack jawed and sloppy most of the time. The other biological kid, Rocco, is attractive to an extent, but not a stunner, either, and quite short. In both cases, I would say the parents were good looking but the offspring are kind of "meh."
