14 Celebrities Who Chose to Ignore Beauty to Play a Role
Although beauty has become an essential part of Hollywood, there are a few actors that value acting over appearance. For them, professional acting means being able to replicate real life, which in some ways, means having to leave their polished looks behind. In a way, it’s a statement that goes against the idea that physical beauty is the most important asset of an actor.
So, as a tribute to all those actors and actresses who decided to break the stereotype of donning the perfect body, Bright Side put together a compilation showing how some of the best-looking people in Hollywood decided to leave perfection behind and bring new meaning to beauty that goes far beyond the physical.
1. Charlize Theron — Monster
2. Matthew McConaughey — Gold
3. Uma Thurman — Batman & Robin
4. Christian Bale — American Hustle
5. Anne Hathaway — The Princess Diaries
6. James Franco — Spring Breakers
7. Gwyneth Paltrow — Shallow Hal
8. Vanessa Hudgens — Gimme Shelter
9. Mariah Carey — Precious
10. Bill Skarsgård — IT
11. Tom Cruise — Tropic Thunder
12. Cameron Diaz — Being John Malkovich
13. Christine Lakin — The Hottie & The Nottie
14. Angelina Jolie — Girl Interrupted

what about anne hathaway for les miserables?
She is included in that article. I just forgot it’s name. Do search it
Umma Thurman's poison ivy shouldn't be on this list coz it was only for the first 1/4 of the film in which she turned into the sexy pretty poison ivy.. So she didn't completely ignore beauty for the role.. Same goes with anne hathaway in Princess Diaries.. Should have taken her other film, les miserable ?
