Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I've done painting of live models who are objectively attractive to have people (men I'm sure) say nasty things about the model.
Like attractive in real life an attractive in TV/Internet are different and a 10 on person is a 4 on the Internet or whatever.
This is a great illustration of that problem.
I think anyone who's seen a decent amount of celebrities in person can attest to this. People who look attractive in 2D do look attractive irl, but in an uncanny way? Less of a sexy - I want to date this person - attraction and more of a confused - how is it possible to look like this - admiration.
Clavicular is a perfect example of this, he looks like a statue not a person
TBH lots of supposedly attractive celebrities look kind of weird to me, probably mostly due to fashion (makeup etc.). That would probably be even worse IRL, depending on whether they're "done up" and how much of their look is plastic surgery.
That's a fair point, though some look amazing either way.
