I was discussing random shit with my gf (sounds a bit straight, I know, but don't jump to conclusions yet).
The conversation began with music video clips, then progressed through a number of topics. Topics included such areas as misogynism in Hollywood, Michael Bay, and the 'pretty boy' phenomenon.
///hollywood CGI cut scene///
Shia Lebeouf.
I think he's a prettyboy.
Barely any acting skills, no 'character' to put into a role, but cast because of his looks. My gf disagrees. She doesn't find him 'pretty' looking at all (we agreed he has little-to-no talent though).
I want your thoughts on this, COR. Is Shia Lebeouf a prettyboy? Or not so much?
I also want you to post all the actor-types that you consider to be 'prettyboys', since we've disagreed on some, lol.
Gaaaaaay bro.

I stopped reading when you said Michael Bay. But yeah, I haven't really watched any films with Shia, so I can't really rate his ability [not even The Battle of Shaker Heights]. But I believe you. Fuck that curly-haired dick, you know?
I suppose Keanu Reeves falls into this prettyboy category, as well. I know kung-fu.

He's sort of more 'wholesome attractive' to the point of nauseating than pretty, Leonardo DiCaprio (when he was in Titanic) and Hayden Christensen are pretty.
They can't act either.
edit- to be fair, Leonardo eventually figured it out, sort of.

90 % of female actors are cast solely because they're hot.
Sushi you are such a homo in disguise. Actually it's not even disguised, you just fuck men so obviously.

Shia LeBeouf is an embodiment of straight white male teenager's narcissistic fantasies.
That said, I don't find him pretty.

wtf? watch basketball diaries.
Decaprio just got type-cast into the pretty boy role when he got older, in which there is absolutely no acting necessary or possible.. Hes actually pretty great though, if he gets a role that doesn't just require being attractive...
same reason i thought clooney was shit, until i saw syriana...
same reason i thought ledger was shit until i saw batman...
it's really annoying how vapid most film roles are really
most actors don't have much chance to act, since they usually just get cast for what they look like, or who they really are...

Oh yeah, good call on Decaprio. Definitely a pretty boy, though has some acting skills.
Dunno about Keanu Reeves. Kinda, maybe. Pretty, I mean, not acting skills.
