Dear,
good-looking actors: Being attractive is not an affliction. Some
actors seem to think that if they play the hot love interest they’re
selling out. (I’m looking at you Johnny Depp!) I’ve had this
conversation with too many actors recently to let it slide any longer.
The conversation goes something like this…
HOT ACTOR: The nerdy virgin character is so much more interesting. I want to read for that role.
CASTING DIRECTOR: *laughs because she thinks he’s kidding*
HOT ACTOR: I can be nerdy. I swear!
CD: You really can't.
HOT ACTOR: But I’m an ACTOR. Please let me try.
CD: *gives in*
So
HOT ACTOR comes in and auditions for the nerd, his biceps bulging under
his short-sleeved button down shirt, his hair sans product for the
first time in months, thick-framed glasses attempting to cover up his
bedroom eyes, but guess what? HOT ACTOR is still HOT. Plus HOT ACTOR
hasn’t been a virgin for so long he doesn’t even remember what that
feels like, and we can tell. Because wardrobe and hair and glasses
aside, he’s got that inner confidence that hot people seem to be born
with. And this is not a bad thing. There are MANY roles; some would even
argue that there are MORE roles for hot people than there are for
character actors (that is, of course, when Johnny Depp isn’t playing all
of them). So embrace your hotness. If we didn’t have a hot love
interest to pine after, what would all the millions of teenage girls do?
Think about the teenagers, guys. The teenagers.
