Every time you look in the magazines you see plenty of beautiful, cute, handsome celebrities. Well dressed and with lots of charm and class. They’re the celebrities we think of when we hear the word celebrities. You don’t have to be handsome or beautiful to become a celebrity though. Talent and something extra can take you just as far, and here are 50 living proof of that.

50. Robin Williams

This man might not be the most handsome man in the world, I guess some people even call him ugly, but that doesn’t stop him from being one of the most celebrated actors in the world. He has reached great success with movies like Dead Poet’s Society, Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire and Good Will Hunting, just to mention a few.

49. Pete Doherty

He’s pale, skinny and it’s not difficult to tell that he’s on drugs, but yet he was able to get a beautiful girlfriend, the world famous Kate Moss to be specific. Doherty is singer in Babyshambles and the career is going ok as well. Not bad for an ordinary guy like Pete.

48. Clay Aiken

He doesn’t exactly look like the prince in shining armour with that huge mouth of his, but still he’s a really popular musician. He became famous when he was one of the competitors in the second season of American Idol and he’s been selling lots of albums since. This year he’s going to release a new album and I bet that will be a success as well.

47. Courtney Love

I’m fairly sure that this woman will never stop surprising us. She’s got lots of talent, she can act and she can sing. She can also write songs. She’s also well known for being married to the late Nirvana-singer Kurt Cobain. The strange thing with Love is that she can look classy, and almost beautiful from time to time, but the next day she looks like this, trashy, with total loss of class and without any sign of beauty.

46. David Schwimmer

He’s got a face that is probably taller than my leg and it’s something strange with his eyes, but he’s got charm, and most of all he’s got talent and that has taken him far. After playing Ross in the famous TV-show Friends he is one of the most popular actors in the U.S. and he’s been nominated for an Emmy award for that role as well.

45. Steven Tyler

Take a look at this man, he’s not exactly a role model for a handsome man with that mouth, but still he’s a very talented and very famous musician as singer in Aerosmith, and he’s actually a real sex symbol with lots of female fans. He’s also father of a very beautiful woman, Liv Tyler, known from the movie Armageddon.

44. Prince

He’s feminine in one way but still not, and he’s almost scary to watch in some of his pictures, but he’s also a big artist. I’m fairly sure that you’ve heard some of his huge hits like Purple Rain or Kiss and you propably liked them a lot. He has won several awards and there’s no doubt that he’s got plenty of talent as well as plenty of fans.

43. Jamie Lee Curtis

She’s not exactly the most feminine and cute woman in the celebrity world, that’s for sure, but she’s a very good actress and I think you all have seen her great performances in films like Halloween, A Fish Called Wanda and Freaky Friday. She has won the Golden Globe twice and she’s also an author of books for children. This is a lady with many terrific skills.

42. Ben Stiller

This guy is great! He’s one of the funniest actors I know and he was excellent in There’s Something about Mary as well as in Meet the Fockers and Starsky & Hutch. He has also won the Emmy Award and several MTV Movie Awards. He’s not the most handsome guy in Hollywood though but as you can see that doesn’t matter.

41. Ellen Barkin

Maybe she haven’t got the prettiest face but she’s got plenty of charm and of course lots of talent, otherwise she wouldn’t be where she is today. This actress has won the Emmy Award and she has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award. You might have seen her in Sea of Love, Drop Dead Gorgeous or Ocean’s Thirteen for example.

40. Kid Rock

Well, after seeing this picture I guess most of us agree that he’s not exactly the man everyone is dreaming about. That didn’t stop him from getting married to the famous beauty Pamela Anderson. He’s also a famous musician and actor and he has sold more than 22 million albums.

39. Barbra Streisand

Ok, she is not beautiful, she’s got a nose that none of us envy and the same goes with her mouth, but she has so much else. She has won Oscars, Grammy Awards, Emmy Awards, Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards and she is very popular, both as a singer and as an actress. She’s actually one the best selling solo recording artists in USA and she has sold more than 145 million albums. Not bad!

38. Sarah Jessica Parker

Her face reminds me a little of the face of a horse since it is so tall, and I don’t envy her nose either. What I do envy is her talent and her popularity. I guess almost everyone has seen her in Sex and the City and she’s really great as Carrie. That role also gave her several Golden Globe Awards and Emmy Awards. Awards that she totally deserved.

37. Kevin Bacon

This man is not exactly a hunk, but he’s a terrific actor with excellent performances in films like JFK, Wild Things and Apollo 13. He’s been married to the same woman since 1988, not exactly common for a celebrity so this guy really is something extra even without being handsome.

36. Iggy Pop

His tall face and long hair sure doesn’t attract me, but I can’t deny that he’s a great musician. He’s a singer, songwriter and he’s also been performing in some films. His career started in the 60’s and he’s still going strong 4 decades later.

35. Jack Black

He’s talented, he’s funny, he’s terrific, and that made him a very popular actor. You have probably seen him in School of Rock, Nacho Libre or King Kong and if you have, you probably know that he’s an excellent performer. The only thing he doesn’t have is beauty, but as we already know, that’s not the most important thing.

34. Renee Zellweger

Renée is one of the highest paid females in Hollywood and she deserves it, since she’s a really good actress. All the awards that she has won is a proof of her big talent. You have probably seen her as Bridget Jones in Bridget Jones’s Diary or as Betty in Nurse Betty and I’m sure you agree that she is really great. Even though she can’t compete with Angelina Jolie or Halle Berry when it comes to beauty, she sure can compete with them when it comes to performance.

33. Elijah Wood

It’s not difficult to understand why this guy was chosen to play Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, that must be because he really looks like a hobbit. He has won several awards and will probably be seen in lots of movies for many more years.

32. Nicky Hilton

Paris little sister didn’t have the luck to be born with the same amount of beauty as her older sister. She’s got some class but her nose and her mouth is keeping her away from being a beauty. She doesn’t have to worry too much about that though, she’s got a lot more money than most of us have and she seems to be popular as well.

31. Nicolas Cage

You don’t have to look good to win the Academy Award. Nicolas Cage is a living proof of that after winning the award for his performance in Leaving Las Vegas. He did an excellent performance in the film World Trade Center, and his performance in Con Air was just as good. I’m sure that most of the people who have seen him act is quite impressed by his talent.

30. Mike Tyson

He’s everything but handsome, and he sure isn’t nice either, but despite that he has made lots of money because of his talent when it comes to boxing. Unfortunately he has chosen to spend the money way to fast and probably in a fairly stupid way, but he’s still a living proof that you don’t need beauty to become famous.

29. Howard Stern

Have you heard The Howard Stern Show on Sirius Satellite Radio? If so, you know who this humorist is. He’s actually one of the most influential persons in the U.S. and he’s not only using the radio to reach people, he’s also written a few books, and he’s using TV as well. He seems to be a very bright man and you know what? That’s so much better than being handsome.

28. Mike Myers

You have to be impressed by this man. Ok, maybe he doesn’t look like the hunk you’ve always dreamt of, but he has so much more. He’s good at acting, he’s good at producing, he’s a talented screen writer and as an addition to that he is funny. If I was to choose between a handsome man and this one I would certainly go for this one!

27. Kelly Osbourne

The middle child of Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon wasn’t born with much beauty. However she’s very much in the spot light despite that, mostly on the family TV-show The Osbournes, but she’s also known to be a singer and also an actress. You can probably look forward to see a lot more of this girl.

26. Mick Jagger

Have you heard about the Rolling Stones? Yes, of course you have. Then you know how famous this man is, despite his terribly big mouth and not too handsome face. He was actually a real sex symbol among the women while Rolling Stones was at their top and most women would have fainted if he even looked at them, so he’s a terrific living proof that beauty doesn’t really matter. You can be just as popular without it.
