I have that face thing with Patrick Swayze and Meryl Streep. And the girl from Dirty Dancing. I am working on getting over Jennifer Lawrence's face. All these people are surely somewhat good actors but there is something about their faces that I cannot stand and it makes it impossible for me to focus on the plot. I just made it through Silver Linings Playbook today, finally, it was hard but I am glad I managed, Lawrence did a good job and I forgot about her face for almost 30% of the time. One day I will manage to watch more than 15 minutes of Dirty Dancing.
Is it the jaw/chin? How about Kurt Russell, Bruce Campbell, Jay Leno, Wings Hauser, Richard Kiel or Robert Z'Dar?
No, the people you mentioned are fine. I think it is something with the nose-chin-cheek combo that I find appalling.
For Jennifer Lawrence it's a separate thing, we have many similar features (like fat cheeks and hooded eyes) and it creeps me out too much and I get insecure watching her. I keep thinking how weird I must look and reevaluate my makeup the whole time, it's too stressful.
I also have a thing where I can't stop thinking of rooster anuses whenever I see Kevin Bacon (his mouth).
I want to emphasize that none of this is meant in a mean spirited way and those people are beautiful the way they are. It's my brain that makes these associations and I very much disapprove of them.
No reason to be ashamed. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that's a good thing. But it also means that you can never please everyone. You are happiest when you accept yourself as you are. And never compare you with Hollywood.
My text reads like fortune cookie advice, but it is meant honestly. Have a nice day.
