Top 10 Ugliest Male Celebrities
Oh how low we have stooped! Following on from yesterday’s humor theme (and before we roll out some more serious lists) I thought we could have a look at the ten ugliest male celebrities. Many of these men are great in their field (whether it be music or film) but they are just plain ugly. Do you think I have missed anyone? Add him to the comments. Ugly actresses coming soon!

9. John C. Reilly [Actor]
John C. Reilly has played a host of seamy characters to great effect over the years. Of late, however, he has defied the odds by drawing in the ladies with his touching “common man” portrayals of lovable, good-natured schlepps.
8. Nick Nolte [Actor]
Nolte’s breakthrough role was in the TV mini-series “Rich Man, Poor Man” (1976), playing the role of “Tom/Tommy Jordache”. Nick Nolte said that when he played a young man in the early scenes of the project, he weighed about 160 pounds. When he played a middle aged man in the later scenes, he weighed over 180 pounds.
7. Pete Doherty [Musician]
Since 2005, Doherty has become well known to the public at large as a result of his relationship with supermodel Kate Moss, his status amongst fans and his infamous rock and roll lifestyle. His drug use, arrests, and court appearances are frequently reported in the tabloid press.
6. Elton John [Musician]
Elton John is a five-time Grammy and one-time Academy Award-winning English pop/rock singer, composer and pianist. Elton John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. He has been heavily involved in the fight against AIDS since the late 1980s and was knighted in 1998.

Reznor produced their 1994 debut album, Portrait of an American Family and released it on his Nothing label. Why did he not make top spot?
