Celebrities are often referred to as, “the most beautiful people in the world.” While this might hold true for some, there are others that end up in the limelight with us collectively scratching our heads. The following is a list of people that probably got made fun of in junior high school, and through some random turn of events, became celebrities. Here’s to the 25 weirdest looking famous people:

Clay Aiken

When Clay Aiken first tried out for American Idol he was nearly laughed off the stage before he had sang one note. Since then, the American public has been subjected to three albums, a Christmas special, and countless guest appearances on television by Aiken. AI owes the public an apology.

Renee Zellwegger

The reason people love Renee Zellwegger is that she always looks like she’s pinching a loaf. Because that is weird, and people like weird.

Luis Guzman

Puerto Rican character actor Luis Guzman has acted in over 100 roles since 1977, including such notables as  The Adventures of Pluto Nash and Beverly Hills Chihuahua. To what does he owe his success? Most likely his Cro-Magnum forehead.

Thom Yorke

Just because you are a crazy musical genius, doesn’t mean you have to look like nutty homeless guy. Yorke wasn’t born with much when it comes to outward appearance, and so his success is all the more admirable when you take into account his googly eyes.

William H. Macy

William H. Macy is a lot of things, an critically-acclaimed actor, a father, a philanthropist, and a perfect combination of a monkey and Dr. Frankenstein’s monster.

Ellen Pompeo

Ellen Pompeo is basically the poor man’s Renee Zellwegger. 

Tilda Swinton

According to Eric Cartman,  gingers have no souls, and they seek to destroy the world by steeling everyone’s souls. Tilda Swinton seems to be no exception to this.

Maggie Gyllenhaal

Back in 2007, Maggie Gyllenhaal was caught breast-feeding her kid in public. A picture was taken that literally showed her kid hanging from her tit. You would think this would be kind of cool to see, but then you remember that she looks like Droopy Dog. How did she replace Katie Holmes in The Dark Knight!?

Rumer Willis

Hello, chin.

Rainn Wilson

Rainn Wilson might be one of the strangest-looking men on the planet, but he’s perfect for his role as ‘Dwight’ on The Office.

Ann Coulter

Ann Coulter is angry, awkward and cold. Her adam’s apple and man arms only add to her unattractive face, which is basically the embodiment of a lonely menopause. 

Bill Maher

Bill Maher is  5’5’’ and he looks like an old lesbian.

Joey Ramone

Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s, this mongoloid (known to the world as ‘Joey Ramone’) realized the only way he would ever get laid would be if he were to start a band. Thankfully he regularly covered up one-third of his face with a womanly combination of bangs and round glasses.

Lyle Lovett

The only reason anyone knows who this guy is, is because was once briefly married to the sister of one of the greatest actors ever:  Eric Roberts.Thankfully his marriage to the large-toothed Julia lasted only two years, thus sparing the world from the two baring offspring together.

Kathy Griffin

Kathy Griffin was never funny. She also is not, was not, and never will be attractive. Not even marginally.

David Caruso

Source

The only thing this god damned ginger did worth a damn was play a bad ass cop in Mad Dog and Glory.

Jewel

Source

This folk singer has ’summer teeth’. Some are here; some are there (sounds better if you say it out  loud).  You could also call her a ‘butter head’.

Kyra Sedgwick

Source

Being married to Kevin Bacon has its advantages. First, you’re only six degrees of separation from anyone in the world; secondly, you get roles your looks and acting prowess never merit. Nice manly eyebrows btw. 

Gary Busey

Source

Holy teeth. I mean, Holy shit.

Judah Friedlander

Source

If this guy had not accidentally fallen into acting he’d spend his days and nights in his grandmother’s basement (playing Warcraft), and his weekends trying to convince adolescents that he keeps free puppies and/or candy in his windowless van. 

Val Kilmer

Source

He’s a lock for the role of ‘Val Borland’, should anyone decide to make a film adaptation of  “Home Improvement”.

John C. Reilly

Source

Is Reilly funny or is it he is just so ridiculous-looking that he gives off the llusion of being funny?

Andy Dick

Source

Has there ever been anyone so universally loathed as this piece of shit? I mean, there were even a few people that liked Saddam Hussein. It also does not help his cause that his face resembles a cadaver’s pursed anus.

Dee Snyder

Source

The photographer that  took this picture probably asked Dee Snyder to look his “coolest.“  In response, this twisted sister tied his hair in a ponytail, put on some gas station sunglasses, and then contorted his face as if he had just smelled a pungent fart. This butt rocker has no place in pop culture.

Chad Kroeger

Who?
