Every chef that I know often punches significantly above their weight in the looks department. People like good food and being able to make good food makes people more attractive.
I've thought he was attractive for decades. He's funny, sweet, creative, what's not to like. And not to brag but I've been rather good looking in my day
Don't forget Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He wrote, directed and starred in the film Don Jon (2013). And who did he make out with in this film? Scarlett Johansson. xD
When I was a college student I was involved in some biomedical research for credit. The researchers always talked about doing research involving sea urchins and porpoises because you’d be working in nice warm, ocean environments
TBH when you work alongside people in high stress environments? You form bonds. The person you are comes out and you see it in others. Also Faveru wants the goods.
Honestly one of my favorite feel good movies. Also the soundtrack is banging. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the Chef Show on Netflix. It basically Jon and Roy cooking and talking shit on each other with guest celebrities and chefs.
As a chef who's not much more attractive than him and also has a total 10/10 smoking redhead for a wife the past 18 years, im gonna slap the mythbusters *plausible* brand on it.
At my absolute fucking peak I'm a 6/10. Also had a 10/10 redhead for around five years in my early 20s. Still no idea what made her hate herself that much, but it ruled for me.
Knowing how to cook and having a good personality cover a lot of woes. Comments like this post are just from a bunch of people who think looks are the only thing that matters because their understanding of relationships are that shallow and they have no attractive qualities themselves.
The truly funny thing is people thinking most Chefs cook at home regularly. After back to back to back 12 hour shifts, the most I'm doing is microwaving something and falling asleep halfway through eating it.
As someone who has been in the food service for almost 30 years. I don't think that. The fact remains that when I do want to cook for my loved ones, I bring the heat and it's got me more ass than I'm going to relate on some silly social media board.
So true. The idea that it's weird for someone to be with someone else because they are perceived to be more physically attractive (which is subjective to begin with, my 10 would be someone elses 5) is so bloody teenage. Just be nice to her (genuinely nice not performatively/transactionally nice), take a real interest in who she is and the things that matter to her and make her laugh regularly. In my experience that's enough to maintain a good relationship with most women (romantic or platonic)
Its true that attractiveness is entirely subjective. However then there are just some truly, hideously ugly, unattractive people in the world. They are not rich, or funny to make up for this fact. I know this because I am one of those people. No amount of being nice can help if no one else can stand even looking in your general direction.
TBF with how many movies he's done with ScarJo you would have to assume they're on decent terms. Like its not as though she took a huge paycheck for this movie and its not like she lacks for star power.
The movie made me appreciate how making something as simple as a grilled cheese sandwich, and making a really good one, can be a life changing experience.
The guy he got to train him for the role was extremely serious about not wanting to be embarrassed to have other chefs see his name on the film. Favreau also took an interest and got pretty into cooking. They had a pretty decent food show on... Netflix, I wanna say? I am very much not a chef so I can’t judge the cooking but I can say it was fun, at least.
Yeah, that was Roy Choi. He’s not going to win a congeniality contest, but he’s a skilled chef and came up with his own food trucks. Faverau did really get into cooking and his Netflix show also starred Choi who wandered with him, cooking with celebrities. It didn’t last long, I’d say because it was a mix of two very different things, the celebrity blah-blah show, and a technical cooking show. I think those two audiences were quite separate.
It was great to see proper cooking in a movie though
Saved star wars’s pathetic showing yet again, by ripping off the Japanese. (Lone wolf & cub) to make the mandalorian, literally pulling their shitty ass out of the fire of even worse movies.
OK? Saying they "saved" the MCU implies it was an existing thing that had been around for a while, and wasn't doing well until they showed up. It was literally the first unproven film that would lead to the biggest media franchise in history.
It would be in my top 25 movies, prob not everyone’s but I loved it. When it came out on streaming years ago I watched it alone, my roommate came home later and watched it again with him, girlfriend came over the next day and I watched it again
Plus some damn good cooking scenes. A cameo by RDJ. Oh and there’s an annoying kid too, but he’s only a little annoying because he helps to push the story.
All of the Favreau movies *I've seen* were well put together, and well cast. So he puts himself in his movies. So what. He's believable in the characters he's played. That's *my* definition of good acting. If I don't spend the whole movie going "That's Robert Downey Jr.", and instead immerse and think he's Tony Stark. If you can entertain me and I can forget your RL name. Enjoy the product. Well done. See PSH in "Charlie Wilson's War". He ------ IS ----- Gust Avrokatos. Great character
Also, PSH (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) pretty much CRUSHED every role I've seen (Birdcage) etc. Even more impressive given the heroic levels of Heroin he was doing. Either the directors and acting types gave him slack, or he was acting while acting.
I saw a South Park skit of it, I didn't think much of it, then one day I came by my mom watching one of his movies and it was literally him acting like an animal while hooking up with a girl young enough to be his daughter.
It's actually funny because King of Queens is really one of the better shows of that type. While Doug is fat and Carrie is hot, their dynamic isn't nearly as one-sided as the stereotype suggests. Doug is usually a happy and down to earth guy, and Carrie is often grumpy, controlling or opportunistic.
As a funny ugly woman, I feel justified in complaining a reasonable amount about this trope. Plus the trope where I am either a lesbian tertiary character with mediocre oneliners or I end up with the weirdest male character every imagined who secretly harbors a stalker-esk obsession with the way-out-of-his-league leading lady, but settles for me.
Don't get me started on those. Hollywood tends to just plain not like women who aren't conventionally attractive, outside of comedic or very specific roles.
Pete has had a string of girlfriends in such a way where you gotta assume he’s funny, makes women feel good about themselves, and likely is unusually well hung, all at the same time.

LordHosk
I have found that women love men who can cook, clean, do laundry, are kind to them and are funny... Much more than "guys who are hott"
"guys who are hott" get dates, guys who are kind and genuine get partners.
