As we all know, the entertainment industry is a place where looks are valued, and people with good looks often have better resources.
However, there are no absolutes. Some celebrities who don’t look very good choose to play the male lead in movies and TV series, only to be beaten by the male lead. It’s really embarrassing.
1. Wu Jianhao
I think back then, F4 became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places with the movie " Meteor Garden " and became the idol in the minds of thousands of girls.
Although they are all members of the same group, there is a big gap in appearance between the four of them. Especially Wu Jianhao, who is the most attractive in appearance, is simply not on the same level as the other three.
Wu Jianhao has small eyes and a long face. He has almost no bright spots except for being a bit naughty.
It is no exaggeration to say that if he had not filmed "Meteor Garden", it would be difficult for Wu Jianhao to become popular. Even after becoming popular, Wu Jianhao was often criticized for his appearance.
In 2001, Wu Jianhao collaborated with Kenji Wu, Wu Chenjun and others in the film "Peach Girl ", in which he played the male protagonist "Gang Anri".
is said to be the male lead, but Wu Jianhao looks like a gangster in the play. On the contrary, Wu Kequn, the second male lead, looks very idol-like.
When the two were in the same frame, Wu Jianhao was directly killed by Wu Kequn, leaving no room for comparison.
Of course, despite Wu Jianhao's poor appearance, he is the most developed in F4.
Although his popularity is not as high as at his peak, Wu Jianhao's resources are pretty good in recent years. He has received many TV series and variety shows, and often appears on the screen.
However, with his appearance, he should just play a supporting role peacefully, otherwise he will definitely be criticized wildly by netizens.
2. Xu Shaoyang
In the years when idol dramas were popular in Taiwan, Xu Shaoyang was definitely one of the top male gods. Especially his performance in "The Lovers of Dolphin Bay" left a deep impression on people.
Originally, Xu Shaoyang’s good looks could secure him as the male lead. However, he happened to meet Huo Jianhua .
In the drama, " Zhong Xiaogang" played by Huo Jianhua is a typical scumbag, and his personality is more than one and a half points different from Xu Shaoyang. But there are still many viewers who hope that he will team up with Angela Chang because Huo Jianhua's appearance is much better than Xu Shaoyang.
When he was young, Huo Jianhua had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face was angular, making him an idol of a male god.
When the two were in the same frame, Xu Shaoyang became dim, and those who didn't know thought he was playing a villain.
Fortunately, Xu Shaoyang's character design adds a lot of points to him, which makes the audience ignore the difference in their appearance.
However, in the second year after the show was aired, Xu Shaoyang cheated on Lin Weijun. From then on, his reputation plummeted and he gradually faded out of the entertainment industry.
In the past two years, Xu Shaoyang has occasionally shared his daily life on social platforms. Although he has reached middle age, he has maintained a very good figure.
However, Xu Shaoyang's appearance has undergone some changes, probably due to fine-tuning.
Now, his main business has become live streaming. With the popularity accumulated in the early years, at least he does not have to worry about money.
However, the title of "idol hero" has gradually gone away from him. Now he has completely changed into a plastic surgery face, which is simply unbearable to look at.
3. Ren Tianye
In 2010, Ren Tianye became an instant hit with "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" and received widespread attention.
Since then, Ren Tianye has become a professional in military dramas, and he has always been known as a tough soldier.
In fact, Ren Tianye did not follow this route when he first debuted. At that time, he also acted in many costume dramas, including the very classic "Snowflake Goddess Dragon".
Ren Tianye played the male protagonist " Sima Changfeng" in this drama. In fact, Ren Tianye is not ugly, his facial features are very straight, and his temperament is also very tough.
However, he met Qiao Zhenyu who was at the peak of his appearance.
It goes without saying how handsome Qiao Zhenyu was back then. It is no exaggeration to describe him as handsome as jade and handsome as a young man.
Because Qiao Zhenyu’s appearance is so stunning, many people automatically ignore Ren Tianye, the real male protagonist. After the TV series
was broadcast, Qiao Zhenyu also received the most attention, and his popularity soared. As for the other leading actors, they were completely overshadowed by his brilliance and had no chance of getting out of the industry.
After that, Ren Tianye tried to change his acting career and appeared in various works such as martial arts dramas and family dramas, but the results were not satisfactory.
It was not until he later starred in "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" that Ren Tianye finally found a theme that suited him. Nowadays, Ren Tianye is developing well in the industry and can be regarded as a good actor with good reputation and acting skills.
4. Cao Jun
Cao Jun is a child star that everyone loves very much. From the first " True Life Little Monk " to the later " Nine-year-old County Taiye ", Cao Jun left too many classics work.
When he was a child, Cao Jun was very smart and won the love of countless viewers just because of his cute appearance.
However, as he grows older, Cao Jun gradually enters an embarrassing period.
Especially when he starred in " Lotus Lantern ", Cao Jun's acting skills were not yet mature, and his appearance was not as cute as when he was a child. Overall, Cao Jun's performance can only be regarded as passing.
On the other hand, Jiao Enjun, who plays a supporting role in the drama, is obviously over 40 but still handsome. In terms of appearance alone, he is much better than Cao Jun.
Moreover, the character design of Yang Jian in this drama is also relatively good. Although he is an enemy of Chen Xiang on the surface, he actually helps him secretly.
Therefore, Yang Jian, played by Jiao Enjun, has become one of the most lovable characters in the drama.
Although Cao Jun is not ugly, when compared with Jiao Enjun, he was immediately defeated. It can be said that he was killed in minutes.
Later, Cao Jun encountered difficulties during the transition period. His career never recovered, and he no longer had the same popularity as before.
To this day, Cao Jun is still active in the entertainment industry, but in most cases he can only play supporting roles, and there are very few leading roles.
5. Peter Ho
Peter Ho has a long face, with relatively small eyes, and his appearance is indeed rather hip.
But Peter Ho's acting skills are still relatively good. In addition, he maintains a very good figure through exercise all year round. Generally speaking, he can be regarded as a handsome man.
But it also depends on who you compare with. Once you meet that kind of impeccable-looking male god, Peter Ho will be instantly killed. In the years when
first debuted, Peter Ho starred in many costume dramas, such as " Storm " and " Young Yang Family General ", which are very familiar to everyone.
At that time, he also collaborated with Yan Yikuan in the movie "Prince of Qin Li Shimin" and played the male lead in the drama.
As one of the "Four Beauties in the End of the World", Yan Yikuan's appearance is needless to say, he can be called a god with no blind spots, but he played the villain Li Jiancheng in the play.
Such role allocation has caused dissatisfaction among many viewers. After all, Peter Ho's appearance cannot support the male protagonist.
Looking at the appearance of several supporting actors in the drama, they can basically crush Peter Ho, not to mention Yan Yikuan.
When the two of them are in the same frame, Peter Ho looks like Yan Yikuan's little follower, without any aura of a superior.
The most outrageous thing is that Peter Ho actually won the hearts of several female characters with his good looks, which is really hard to complain about.
Of course, in addition to his good looks, Peter Ho's achievements in the acting career are still very high. He is very good at both acting and singing, and his strength is still worthy of recognition.
Six, Lam Jiadong
Lam Jiadong is a well-known actor in Hong Kong. He has been selected into the list of winners of the Academy Awards all year round, and his strength is highly recognized.
However, Lin Jiadong’s appearance is very ordinary. His appearance overall looks relatively upright, but there is nothing outstanding about it.
In the early years, Lin Jiadong played the male protagonist " Yuan Chengzhi " in " Green Blood Sword ", and formed a pair of on-screen CPs with the goddess Ou Zixin.
From an image point of view, the two are actually very incompatible, but Lin Jiadong's acting skills make up for this, making the audience ignore his appearance.
But when "Xia Xueyi" played by Jiang Hua appeared, Lin Jiadong instantly became eclipsed.
Although Jiang Hua was nearly 40 years old at the time, he did not look old at all, and was even younger than Lin Jiadong, who was 5 years younger than him.
As for the appearance of the two, there is no comparison at all. Jiang Hua's facial features are exquisite and handsome, and he looks like Andy Lau , and he can kill Lin Jiadong in minutes.
As expected, Jiang Hua became famous after the show was broadcast, and he was also called "the most handsome Xia Xueyi" by many viewers.
However, Jiang Hua was an out-and-out scumbag in real life, and his career was affected as a result, and he eventually faded out of the entertainment industry.
Nowadays, Jiang Hua rarely appears in public. He announced his comeback not long ago, but it was met with little fanfare and no new works have been released so far.
7. Ren Xianqi
Ren Xianqi is recognized by everyone as the prince of love songs. He has made great achievements in the field of music and has sang many classic hits, such as " The Heart Is Too Soft ", " The Girl Opposite Looks Over " and so on. .
While developing his music career, Ren Xianqi also participated in many TV series, but the reviews of these works were relatively poor.
The reason why there is such a result is that on the one hand, Ren Xianqi's acting skills are not up to par, and secondly, his appearance is too high in the crotch.
Ren Xianqi's face shape is not bad, and his nose and mouth are acceptable, but his small eyes affect his overall appearance, making him far from meeting the standards of a male god.
However, even though Ren Xianqi looks ordinary, he has played many handsome guys in costume dramas.
He has played famous heroes such as "Yang Guo" and "Linghu Chong", but without exception, he was suppressed by the male counterparts in the drama.
For example, in the drama "新春秋香", Ren Xianqi plays the male protagonist "Chu Liuxiang". The male supporting actors in the play are Li Yaoxiang , Chen Xiaodong, Ekin Cheng and so on.
The appearance of these people all surpassed that of Ren Xianqi. It can only be said that Ren Xianqi was so popular at the time, and it was a success to have so many male idols matching him.
In fact, there are quite a few celebrities who have no good looks and act as male protagonists, such as Yang Youning and Zhu Xiaotian.
But since they dare to play the male lead, they can't blame the supporting actors for stealing the show. After all, the audience is not blind, and it is clear who is handsome and who is ugly.
