30 Actors Who Lost Roles For Being Considered Too Ugly
Beauty standards are not constant. In this list, we take a look at a few actors that were deemed “too ugly” for certain roles.
Born in Venezuela – and still living there – Tito Pernalete loves all things geeky and sci-fi. He studied Social Communications in college: an odd career choice for a confessed introvert. Though he has experience as a director of photography for some short films, Tito has been a writer for most of his adult life, with a particular interest in movies/TV and tech in general. When he's not playing Elden Ring or binge-watching a horror movie marathon, you can find him planning his dream trip to Japan. His favourite film is RoboCop, but he also has a soft spot for cheesy 80s horror flicks and anything made by Wes Anderson. You can find more of his work at Budapest Reporter and Book Nerdection.
