'I wasn't, as they like to say in Hollywood, f**kable...' These movie stars lost out on roles because they were deemed TOO UGLY
Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder...
Screen siren Jennifer Lawrence says she lost the role of Sharon Tate in Tarantino's Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019) because she was considered “not pretty enough.”
Despite being a frontrunner, the part ultimately went to Margot Robbie.
For Lawrence, success really is the best revenge - proving you need a thick skin to make it in Hollywood.
Andrew Garfield
The Spider-Man star missed out on the role of Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia because he wasn’t considered “handsome enough.”
He made it to the final two, but the part went to Ben Barnes.
Reflecting on the experience, Garfield said: “Ben Barnes is a very handsome, talented man… I think he did a beautiful job".
Elle Fanning
Being rejected at 16-years-old because you're apparently " “unf***able" for a a part in a father-daughter road trip comedy is "so disgusting", according to Elle.
She said: “There are so many stories like this… I laugh at it now; I’m like, ‘What a disgusting pig!’” Though it made her very self-aware at the time, Fanning has since become one of Hollywood’s most celebrated young actresses. Who better to play Sleeping Beauty.
Sharon Stone
Just weeks before her breakout role in erotic thriller Basic Instinct (1992), Sharon was told she wasn’t landing parts because she wasn’t considered sexy.
Recalling the experience in her autobiography, she wrote: “I wasn’t, as they liked to say in Hollywood at the time, ‘f***able'."
Everything changed once she was cast in the film that would make her a household name and cement her status as a screen icon.
Kate Beckinsale
Michael Bay once told Kate Beckisnale that she wasn't the right look for her role in ‘Pearl Harbour’ as she "wasn't blonde and [her] boobs weren't bigger than [her] head." Beckinsale claims she was then put on an intense workout regime and diet. She said: "I didn’t make sense to him as an attractive woman. “So there was a lot of panic and concern over, ‘How on earth are we gonna make her attractive?'"
Sarah Jessica Parker
In 2007, Sarah Jessica Parker was voted the Ugliest Woman Alive by readers of Maxim, then referred to as a “dog” by Fox News anchor Oliver Tull in 2012. Despite this, SJP remains a television icon for her portrayal as shoe-obssesed glamorous columnist Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City and its spin off series Just Like That. A performance that will do down in history for all the fashionistas out there.
