By: Tito Pernalete

Let’s take a look at some actors who were deemed “too ugly” for certain roles.

Some celebrities who are now considered amongst the most attractive human beings alive have been rejected from productions because their looks didn’t match the beauty ideals.

1.

Meryl Streep

When World-renowned actress and winner of all the Oscars was just getting into the acting gig, it seemed like some producers didn’t believe she was as “graceful” as an actress should be.

2.

Ryan Gosling

It would be hard to think of anyone with a pulse who could say that Ryan Gosling is not an extremely attractive person. However, Peter Jackson rejected him for The Lovely Bones.

3.

Kate Beckinsale

It seems impossible to consider someone like Kate Beckinsale to be anywhere near “ugly.” The English actress is simply gorgeous, but apparently, director Michael Bay doesn’t agree.

4.

Jessica Chastain

In 2015, Chastain revealed that she struggled to find some roles in her early Hollywood days, mostly because of her hair.

5.

Henry Cavill

When Cavill was younger, he auditioned for the role of James Bond, a character that he had always wanted to play. However, the director told him that he wasn’t lean enough for the part.
