Wednesday's Word Up: Hugly (& Our Favourite Hugly Celebrities)

Hugly

We clearly love our succinct portmanteau words here at KLue, and this gem was spotted on Très Sugar.

A neat combination of "hug" and "ugly", hugly guys have unconventional good looks. Though we wouldn't say they're attractive, some huglies are "ugly cute". Find our top hugly celebrity guy examples below. A lot of them are comedians for some reason. If you feel there were any hugly male celebs that we left out of the list, please leave a comment with your hugly suggestion.


8. Jack Black

With that bod and his comedy films such as Nacho Libre (Jack's in spandex and a cape, need we say more?) and Tropic Thunder, he's one of the actors that knows how to make bank on his hugliness. If you've got it, flaunt it, (but not too much).


7. Saiful Apek

Obviously, Cicak Man wouldn't have been the same without Saiful's level of likeable hugliness.


6. Paul Giamatti

The characters he's played in films like Sideways and Fred Claus, makes him one of our favourite huglies.


5. DJ Qualls

Aw, DJ is adorable hugly, sort of like the Madagascan Aye-aye, which  is an animal that looks like a mix between a bat and a lemur. You may remember DJ from Road Trip where he played super-dork, Kyle Edwards. After Road Trip, would you have guessed that he started getting gigs as a model for Prada?


4. Will Ferrell

This hugly comedian has played a slew of funny-as-hell characters, from sexist news anchorman, Ron Burgundy, to an elf and even a sex-addicted figure skater in Blades of Glory. The roles he plays are often misogynistic  and annoying, but lovable all the same. We can't wait for Anchorman 2 coming out in 2012!


3. Ron Perlman

Why do you think Ron was chosen to play Hellboy?


2. Flavor Flav

Flavor Flav's jacked up "teefs" combined with his questionable fashion sense puts him near the top of our list. Don't deny you find him a little endearing, though!


1. Mickey Rourke

While he was a mega-hot piece back in the '80s (remember Body Heat?), his addiction to plastic surgery left him with a face that makes you do a double-take, and not in a good way. He made the top spot because his heart-breaking hugliness in The Wrestler brought tears to our eyes. Mickey's the king of the huglies.

Unfortunately this word doesn't really apply to the ladies, because guys don't roll like that. What guy says to his friends, "Woah, that chick is kinda weird looking, but I dig it, so I feel like giving her a hug." None, right?
