There are certain beauty standards that filmmakers try not to deviate from when casting. But rules are there to be broken. We present to your attention a photo-list of actors and actresses with an extraordinary and non-standard appearance. They won the hearts of the audience precisely because they are not like anyone else.
Inna Churikova
- "The same Munchausen"
- "Vassa"
- "Morozko"
It is difficult to imagine domestic cinema without this great actress. And about the fact that originality and originality should be appreciated on stage and in the cinema, a wonderful Russian film "Inception" was shot with Inna Churikova in the title role. Despite her nondescript appearance, Inna managed to enter the theater and star in a huge number of excellent films. Churikova admits that she was able to accept herself as she is only thanks to the support of her mother.
Joaquin Phoenix
- The Sisters Brothers
- "8 millimeters"
- "Pen of the Marquis de Sade"
In many ways, it is the non-standard appearance that Phoenix owes to a congenital defect. The fact is that the future Joker was born with a cleft lip.

Rossy de Palma
- "Open embrace"
- "White Princess"
- "Four-wheel drive"
The actress cannot be called beautiful, but about women like her, they say: "There is definitely something in her." Despite the fact that the actress has a very large nose and a narrow, long face, she never had a shortage of proposals from directors, and all thanks to Rossi's amazing charisma. All her heroines are colorful, like de Palma herself, and she more than compensates for her non-standard facial features with talent and energy.
Tilda Swinton
- "The Dead Don't Die"
- "Uncut Jewels"
- "The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Barton"
Tilda can rightfully be considered one of the most memorable foreign actresses. Swinton looks like an alien who happens to be on our planet.

Tilda treats her own non-standardness with humor and in every possible way emphasizes her dissimilarity from others.
Tina Fey
- "Modern love"
- "Great news"
- "Then Live Yourself"
Tina Fey's example proves that if you are truly talented, you should not look around and adjust yourself to a standard. From the age of 5, a huge scar flaunts on the girl's face, and she did not remove it with the help of cosmetic operations. Fey got this wound when she was attacked on the street by a criminal and cut her face with a knife
Charlotte Gainsbourg
- "Promise at Dawn"
- "Nymphomaniac"
- "21 grams"
The dad of the famous actress, the famous singer Serge Gainsbourg, can hardly be called handsome and the daughter, unfortunately, inherited a lot from her father. Nevertheless, many viewers consider her the standard of intellectual beauty. Charlotte herself admitted in an interview that she does not like her own appearance and figure, but she would never dare to change anything.
Helena Bonham Carter
- "Fight club"
- "The King Speaks!"
- "Les Miserables"
Many stars can envy the success of Helena Bonham Carter, who managed to build a dizzying career and at the same time absolutely does not correspond to the generally accepted canons of beauty. Her style is unique, her roles are non-standard, her beauty and charisma are impressive. She adorns the pictures of various directors with her presence alone, and each of her heroines amazes the audience with her spontaneity.
Sarah Jessica Parker
- "Sex and the City"
- "First Wives Club"
- "If Lucy Falls"
Continuing our photo-list of actors and actresses with an outstanding and non-standard appearance, the star of "Sex and the City" Sarah Jessica Parker. In 2007, she topped the top of the most non-sexy women, but this does not bother the actress at all. She opposes plastic surgery and likes herself the way she is. Sarah Jessica Parker conquers men and her fans with non-standard beauty, perfect figure and crazy charm.
Willem Dafoe
- "Togo"
- Motherless Brooklyn
- "Hotel" Grand Budapest "
It is unlikely that anyone would dare to call Willem handsome, but the strength of this actor is not at all in beauty. He knows how to transform into the most unexpected characters and play so strongly that the viewer sees an actor in front of him with a capital letter. As for his appearance, Defoe does not complex at all on this matter and is liked by women and spectators as he is.
Whoopi Goldberg
- "When We Rise"
- "Alegria"
- "Sister, take action"
Whoopi Goldberg can be considered one of the most popular comedic actresses in Hollywood. Moreover, she not only has a not entirely standard appearance, but also completely lacks eyebrows. Even as a young woman, Goldberg decided to shave them off, and when new eyebrows began to grow, she realized that it caused terrible itching. It was then that Whoopi decided she would always shave them off.
John Travolta
- "Grease"
- "Crime novel"
- American Crime Story
Neither a massive jaw nor disproportionate facial features stopped Travolta in his fast-paced acting career. Moreover, despite his outstanding appearance, John has managed to break thousands of women's hearts for several decades. What's the secret? The fact that talent and charisma are always valued much higher than the visual image.
Eva Green
- "Scary Tales"
- "The last love on Earth"
- "Kingdom of heaven"
Eve's beauty can easily be called extraordinary. She is perfect for bringing to life the image of an evil sorceress or insidious witch. In France, the girl is called "a beauty for intellectuals" and Eve seems to be quite satisfied with this status. She is selective in her choice of roles and does not want to be like the average Hollywood actress.
Vanessa Paradis
- "Heartbreaker"
- "Witchcraft love"
- "Girl on the Bridge"
One of the most famous French actresses was able to make a "highlight" of her shortcomings. Despite the fact that Vanessa's figure can be called boyish, and between the front teeth of the actress there is a gap, she captivated the heart of Johnny Depp himself for many years. Paradis only smiles wisely in response to accusations of her non-standardness, because, in her opinion, a woman should radiate light, this is true beauty.
Naomi Grossman
- "Hell next door"
- "American Horror Story"
- "Good Girls"
This woman can be safely called a master of reincarnation. For the sake of the role, she is ready to disfigure her already not ideal appearance, but isn't that what real acting is all about? Grossman brought real fame as a mentally retarded frightening woman freak in American Horror Story, but in her life Naomi is a very charming and bright woman, albeit not quite meeting world beauty standards.
Hilary Swank
- "The story with the necklace"
- "Boys do not Cry"
- "Writers of Freedom"
Hilary is definitely one of the stars who don't fit into beauty standards, but her unusual appearance has its own flavor. Swank never wanted to be a true lady, and her somewhat boyish features fully reflect her character. The actress takes pride in the fact that, unlike the standard Hollywood beauties, the directors offer her characteristic complex roles that give her the opportunity to unleash her full creative potential.
Nelly Uvarova
- "The last minister"
- "Mysterious Island"
- "Closed spaces"
The actress became truly famous thanks to the TV series “Don't Be Born Beautiful”, the name of which speaks for itself. Nelly accepts herself for who she is, and believes that people who put appearance above inner qualities and charm are stupid. In addition, Uvarova loves to emphasize her non-standardness with unusual fashionable images and bright extraordinary outfits.
Alisa Grebenshchikova
- "Driver for Faith"
- "Mom detective"
- "A wife from the other world"
Our photo-list of actors and actresses with an outstanding and non-standard appearance is completed by the daughter of the leader of the rock group "Aquarium" Boris Grebenshchikov, Alisa. She managed to prove that she got into the world of cinema not at all thanks to her father's fame. She cannot be called a beauty, but this gives her some trump cards - her roles are just as outstanding as her appearance, and Alice is not at all tied to a certain role.
