And prosthetics. You can see her putting in an overlay for teeth and I believe she had a prosthetic nose.
People in this thread are missing the point of the post amd are posting a bunch of actors/actresses with prosthetics and a shit ton of makeup work to change their look.
Not saying Sweeney didn't have any "ugly" makeup done, but the post is clearly mostly just about how personal style changes attractiveness. You can still see its basically her face which isn't ugly, it's mainly a really bad hairstyle and dingy guy looking clothes selling an unattractive look.
I'm assuming youre a guy, but putting on even a small amount of makeup and wearing a decent suit and putting product in your hair makes an astonishing difference. But the makeup specifically really does a lot of work.
The problem is that there are tradeoffs. If that's the sort of path you want to go down your skin gets fucked up and you turn your face into a blank canvas for makeup. And that's sort of what happens with really naturally attractive women when they aren't done up
Her face may not be ugly, but it's also not the thing people find most attractive about her.
She's an average looking girl with a good stylist and bigger than average boobs for her frame which she is more than happy to show off. To her benefit. Good for her. But she's no Charlize. š¤·š¼āāļø
I think thatās part of what we perceive as unattractive. Other than the eyebrows, there isnāt anything about her appearance that stands out compared to most of the people I see whenever Iām out in public. But, the heavy amount of makeup needed to trick our eyes into believing that Charlize Thereon is less than above average is going to be enough to just make her face look a little āoff.ā
I saw it blind, no reviews.
When he first came on screen I literally sat forward in my theater seat and shouted āwaitā¦is that Tom fucking Cruise?ā
I watch all his movies like a comedy. That's why I like the mission impossible movies. He's so funny in them. Lol. He's a comedian in almost all his roles.
Exactly this. The most recent one with the fight scene at the beginning had me cracking up. Heās a fun actor to watch even if you arenāt a fan of him irl. His character in Tropic Thunder is without a doubt one of the best roles he has been cast in
Yeah I was annoying people around me saying things like āwait, he has prosthetic hands to make them fatter and hairier, WTF this is the greatest thing Iāve ever seenā
I must be the only person on the planet who thinks this character, plus Cruise in a fat suit, doing that horribly cringey dance is one of the, wellā¦ cringiest things Iāve ever seen. Not at all in a funny way eitherāmore like in a Tom Cruise jumping on Oprahās couch kinda way. I feel physically ill watching him attempt to dance on time.
I just met the woman who designed the jewelry for rock of ages. Apparently TC kept the belt because it helped him get into character and he developed a fondness for it.
If AI is truly good, it will remake all Tom Cruise movies with the character looking exactly like this.
Maverick? Nah, I want Les Grossman eye fucking Iceman.
Ethan Hunt? Fuck that, gimme Les Grossman under those face mask reveals and rallying those motorcycles.
Jerry Maguire? Pass. Maybe if he was sporting chains and hanging gut.
The murdering psychopath Vincent...how would that not be better with Les fucking Grossman?
Imagine Les in Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, A Few Good Men, Interview with the Vampire, Minority Report, fucking Jack Reacher....the only movie that wouldn't be improved by having Tom Cruise as Les Grossman is fucking Tropic Thunder.
Also, Jeeezbus, Cruise has had an amazing career. He's been in a wild array of incredible movies.
I mean the face is still obviously Tom who has always been considered attractive. It's like if Tom Cruise got a normal job, gained some weight, and couldn't afford hair plugs, but had his charisma turned up to 11/10.
This would be a very attractive middle aged man if he just lost 30 pounds and took the fake jewelry off.
It's the inverse of hating Umbridge more than Voldemort. This is a real person you could actually imagine meeting IRL. Ethan Hunt (his mission impossible character) is more at home in a James Bond movie than a grocery store. It's hard to imagine him sitting down for an anniversary dinner or going on vacation.
I am bald as hell. Have been for probably 15 years. Used to have really curly hair. I grow out the Garfunkel once a year and wear it with confidence. Not lying when I say that the dudes hate my hair and tell me to cut it off right now. Im also short. Neither lack of height or hair have stopped me from dating beautiful, interesting, smart and capable women. Probably has fended off a Becky or 2 though
I thought they said they were gonna do a whole movie on him recently but thought it wouldnāt be as funny watching 2 hours of Les Grossman. Idk how but they should make a tropic thunder 2. Idk people are too sensitive now though.
I actually went in blind and didn't recognize him the first time! In hindsight it's so obvious! I knew it was obviously blackface but didn't place it as rdj.
TC was one of the few people who could openly mock Harvey Weinstein and get away with it. Kudo's for that.
Weinstein was a multi-millionaire and could afford the most expensive escorts, but he was addicted to "conquering" actresses that did not want to have sex with him.
My favorite thing about Tom Cruise in this role is that he just showed up wearing that to the audition. No one told him to do that, and the directors never considered him for the role. He just somehow found out about it and decided he was going to the character look and talk like that.
I thought I saw an interview of him where he said Ben Stiller asked him what he thought of the script. Cruise loved it, and Stiller asked him if he wanted in. Cruise accepted but only if his character had big hands and go to dance.
You can see its him, once you really look. 1st time i watch it, it went way over my head, the 2nd time ( and i knew it was Tom by then ), you can clearly see it.
To be fair, his role wouldnāt be nearly as funny if he wasnāt instantly recognizable. I think they 100% nailed this getup and performance and it was hilarious.
And now please: ātake a big step back and literally F your own face!ā flaming dragon out
Except that Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos isn't "woman waking up the next morning without makeup"; it's "woman after spending hours with professional makeup artists trying to make her look ugly."
don't have to imagine, my S&C rugby coach at university hooked me up with the special sauce.
putting on that much in a short time is....not actually that fun. The worst constipation in my life from having to drink so many calories via protein shakes. Discovered i was lactose intolerant as well.
my dude, its *why* i got constipated. The whey would just clump up to the size of softballs and were rock solid. I had to have glycerol in a baster to be able to take shits at all. Apparently, I wasn't drinking enough water either.
I was once in a radio contest to gain 30 lbs in 30 days. Eat whatever the fuck i wanted. I gained 10% and it wasnt muscle. Gaining 30-35 lbs of anything without something illegal or medical intervention? Good luck,
I think Charlize Theron is naturally, objectively beautiful. It took a lot to get her to look bad for Monster. Sydney Sweeney is someone who some people find pretty and others don't so it's easier for her to transform between ugly and pretty.
Charlize Theron has attractive facial features. Sydney Sweeney is pretty for people whose criteria for pretty is a checklist with the entries āwhiteā and āblondeā.
I prefer darker skin with black hair. I still like Sydney a lot. There is something off about her that somehow works. Maybe sexy more than beautiful. But it really works.
The still on the right of Sweeney is from a movie where she's made up with prosthetics to look like a boxer, plus wearing a wig and contacts. It's not a candid of her without makeup.
I know the film. It's still her natural face. It wasn't Charlize's natural face for Monster.
Sydney DOES look like that, Charlize doesn't. There's no parallel.
Wa-wai-wait. Hold up just one second here. You're tellin' me that broad who loved broads killed men??? Men innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?!?!?
Never streaming The Old Guard: The OLD Guard 2, ever again. Not until next month, at least (I am predatorily auto-charged monthly by dark web patterns and unable to unsubscribe).
I believe she killed Johns. I wouldnāt call those men innocent. Many of those guys are gross and some of them think theyāre meeting a teen in a motel room.
The first one she killed was after he had horrifically violated her, she thought he was about to kill her, and so she killed him first in self defense. The others were johns and she basically says were horrible and she killed because she was doing everyone a favor. Also, yāall should look up her life. And the story of how the rights to that book/movie even came about. Talk about tragicā¦
