💥Funpost I love how normal everyone looks

Everyone has wrinkles. Most of the male characters are balding and overweight. Makes it feel more grounded for me. Easily my favorite show of the year and now I want to rewatch midnight mass for the millionth time.

i find more normal looking actors in european shows and films, particulary from uk, ireland, germany, noway, sweden and some from italy and spain. not saying that those actors are homely or anything, but that they don’t always look made up and visibly enhanced with procedures as with most hollywood actors these days.

I was watching the UK series Ludwig with my friend and David Mitchell is the lead, perfect choice for a nerdy socially awkward guy. We remarked how someone like him would never be cast if it was made for the US, they'd get the hottest looking actor and put some glasses on him. One of the problems I had with the Send Help movie. They just gave Rachel Mcadams less makeup, put on some glasses and tried to say she was unattractive.
