There’s no accounting for taste, and some people just don’t get the appeal of Hollywood stars others find hot. And in a recent Reddit thread, guys offered their dissenting opinions, the “hot” male celebrities who don’t get them going. Here’s a smattering of responses:
Johnny Depp
“Reminds me too much of a Jack Sparrow: an unwashed drunkard pirate who reeks of alcohol and has many STDs.”
Justin Bieber
“I’d rather kiss a moving train than see him naked.”

Benedict Cumberbatch
“While I definitely am not ATTRACTED to him, I am definitely AFRAID of him. So if he wanted it, he’d get it.”
Noah Centineo
“He has a wide neck.”
Drake
“His face is butters but he does have a nice body to me.”

Shawn Mendes
“I realize that he’s objectively attractive, but he does absolutely nothing for me. Not his music, not his face, not his abs. Absolutely nothing.”
Justin Timberlake
“He’s so plain, it feels like he’s a sibling. Zero attraction.”
Jason Momoa
“I once told my family I didn’t find him attractive and they questioned if I was really gay.”
dhmonarch89
pretty spot on.

Ryan Gosling….he is just so plain….on the other hand i dont know why i find Robert Downwy Jr so damn hot…it has more to do with his personality…like he’s so witty and i know he is naughty and mischievious…that’s why i find him crazy sexy
Chrisk
Johnny Depp was a hottie back in the day and yes before he turned into Jack Sparrow. Lol
Brian
I don’t know why he’s even included in this list. He had a really good run of being hot and kind of ageless, but when it caught up to him, it hit him HARD. I don’t think anyone has considered him hot in quite a few years.

“Jason Momoa… and they questioned if I was really gay.” LOL! Yes mom, I’m *really* gay. (REALLY REALLY GAY!)
Brian
I find him weird looking. I also hate long hair on men. He seems like he be a lot of fun to hang out with, though.
Virpilosus
LOLOL to all the comments above. And IMHO, I have to add “the Jonas Brothers”…HOT for some, but for me…NOT!
MISTERJETT
Rick Fox!!! he’s everything i want in a man. he’s tall, dark, handsome and seems like a very nice guy, but he just doesn’t do it for me. wonder why!!!!!
Kangol2
I think Rick Fox is beautiful and has gotten even sexier now that he’s gone gray.
Jason Momoa is sexy, especially with that beard. If he just had the long hair without it I think he’d be only half as hot.
Drake is attractive. He’s sexiest to me when he’s rapping.

I’m sorry but I have disagree with all when look I don’t care how he look on the outside I look what he has on the inside if he a good hart and a well you know then I will take all your all if saying that if Shawn would walk up and out blue that he was gay and ask you on a date you would not say yes if you say no then it. Mean your just superficial care only for what he look like on the outside not the inside
Brian
I don’t think any of us are expecting Shawn to ask us out on a date.
Oranos
Agreed. I look at the whole person, and the insides count every bit as much as the outside.

Is English not your first language, or are you just functionally illiterate?

Add David Duchovny and Jake Gyllenhaal to the list of nice looking male celebrities that just don’t do it for me…
DuMaurier
I’m so out of touch I don’t even know what it means for a face to be…butters(?), but for me it’s Joe Manganiello. I think he’s gorgeous and personable, but when I look at that (amazing) body it’s like I can feel the strain of every agonizing bit of effort to get it and keep it there. Like if he exhaled wrong his whole physical house of cards would collapse. Who knows why; I don’t get that from other big muscly guys like Chris Hemsworth; there’s just something more relaxed about his godlike physique. No accounting for taste.
Mack
I think it goes to your taste. Not everyone has the same tastes in everything. Where some guys like twinks, some guys like daddies or muscle heads. To each their own and enjoy what you get. Go after what you like and to hell with what everyone else thinks.
OzJosh
Yes, a reasonable list. How Benedict Cumberbatch is even regarded as vaguely good looking remains a complete mystery to me. He’s butt ugly.
sonic_source
Mr. Cumberbatch agrees with you. In an interview, he said he didn’t understand why so many women find him attractive because he “looks like Sid the Sloth from ‘Ice Age.'”
Doug
It’s more than just his appearance. He comes across as a genuinely nice guy and he’s not afraid to be vulnerable when he gives interviews..
StudMuffin
Hell, I remember when I had the hots for Pat Boone back in the 50s while others had the hots for Elvis Presley. Oops! I must’ve sounded elderly.
maleficent
damn, how funny. I COMPLETELY agree. fluff with no puff and possibly some meat with no potatoes….
Manchester
I agree that Drake is ugly as sin. I get the feeling that he stinks for some reason.
nitejonboy
Yeah I don’t find Jason Mamoa attractive in the least…but I do think he seems very genuine and a really nice guy and I’d love to be friends with him or work with on a movie. I also don’t get what people see physically in the Rock or Vin Diesel…all three of them are too bulky and rough neckish to me.
Doug
I’ve got to agree with the Justin Bieber comment. I’ve never understood the attraction, he just looks like an average guy you’d pass on the street every day.
