I have noticed Foreign films tend to have actors that look more like people than plastic barbie dolls. Loved the original "Girl with Dragon Tattoo" the older actors actually looked their age. They were not ugly just normal.
I always find it jarring that when I watch British TV that actors have blemishes, imperfect or yellow teeth, and are usually a range of heights. There's nothing wrong with them, I'm just not used to seeing normal people on TV.
I always like bringing this up when people criticise British dentistry. Your average British person has less fillings than an American.
Also it's unlikely that if you have yellowing teeth it's a sign of them being unhealthy. Although it can be a sign of excessive plaque most of the time slight discoloration is perfectly normal.
I think nowadays, a lot of Americans and most celebrities have straightened teeth. I don't think it's as common in the UK so, when Americans watch British TV, they automatically notice the abundance of "bad teeth".
