Hot? Definitely not.
Charismatic? Yup. And that counts for a lot. Makes me sad to think about him trying to kill himself. He never seemed like a particularly sad or depressed kinda guy. But supposedly a lot of comedians have bouts with depression.
Anyway the more charming a guy is, the more attractive he becomes. It's just how it works.
Jim from The Office isn't technically a good looking guy
(SPOILER) but he's so sweet and charming that he just gets cuter and cuter until that funky nose and cheeks aren't really an issue anymore.
Johnny Depp looks like a hobo these days and he still tops the Sexiest Man Alive lists. It's been YEARS since Depp looked downright hot, but he has that je ne sais quoi that makes him attractive to people.
And and, I hate Hayden Panetierre. I don't hate a lot of actors, but I hate her. I can't stand watching her in ANYTHING.
