Can You Name These Ugly Characters?

Hollywood is full of the world’s most beautiful people. We get to see them in all of their glory on the red carpet or in our favorite movies. We have posters of them on our walls and their pictures as screensavers. As they get more roles in television and movies, we support them in their new endeavors. When we watch them on the big or small screen, we have a certain expectation. When they do not look how we expected, we get taken aback a bit. When they are stripped of the glitz and glamour, we are forced to see them as regular humans or as some kind of monster.

Even some of the best-looking actors in Hollywood have to play some unfortunate-looking characters. In many cases, it requires extra time and effort to make these beautiful people less than average. Some of these makeovers can be shocking, but they are important to the role that they are playing.
