Recently, Ryber has said that she was not attractive enough to be a movie star in the 80s.

In the past, in particular, she has mentioned that at an audition in the 80s, a casting director stopped her mid-sentence and told her, “You shouldn't be an actress. You're not pretty enough. You should go back to wherever you came from and go to school, you have the star on your forehead!"

Jessica Alba

The writer of "Four Weddings and a Funeral", Richard Curtis, did not want Hugh Grant to play in the film, because he was too handsome.

Grant claimed that Curtis did "everything in his power to prevent me from taking the part". Curtis would later say, “The absolute main thing about that movie when I was writing it was that the person playing the lead role was not going to be beautiful. This was the absolute thesis of the beginning of the film".

Scarlett Johansson

Apparently, Johansson could have been the lead actress in 'Girl with the Drago Tatoo' but during the auditions she was denied the role because she was "too sexy".

Director David Fincher said, “Scarlett Johansson was amazing. It was a great audition, I tell you. But the thing about Scarlett is that you can't wait for her to take her clothes off." Instead, the role went to Rooney Mara.

Meryl Streep

Sipas Kate Beckinsale, regjisori Michael Bay nuk mendonte se ajo ishte mjaft tërheqëse për rolin e saj në Pearl Harbor, sepse ajo “nuk ishte bionde dhe gjinjtë e saj nuk ishin më të mëdhenj se koka”.

“Në sytë e tij nuk isha një grua tërheqëse.” – thotë Beckinsale.

Keira Knightley

Regjisori Joe Wright fillimisht nuk donte që Keira Knightley të luante në filmin e famshëm ‘Pride and Prejudice’ për shkak të pamjes ‘më të bukur seç duhej’ të fotografisë prezantuese të Knightley-t.

“Por më pas ai më takoi, dhe më tha: “Jo jo, në fakt je mirë!” – tha Knightley duke qeshur.

Jessica Biel

After being named Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive" in 2005, Jessica Biel said she had trouble finding work and that one of the movie directors she auditioned for told her, "I'm not looking for the sexiest woman in the world; I'm looking for a good girl, the girl next door.”
