Young Al Pacino wasn’t conventionally attractive? In what universe?


Definitely attractive, but probably too short/not built enough these days. I doubt Michael J Fox would have been a leading actor today too. Can't decide if Bruce Willis would have made the cut, but I would lean towards not. His roles went to the steroided up Rock/Vin Diesel.

It is not just US cinema though. I see the same in other countries' movie markets such as India's. Possibly just that population increase of potential actors made it more competitive, so minimum standards increased.
