11. Gabourey Sidibe
Gabourey Sidibe is best known for her role in Precious. In the movie, her character is said to weigh 350 pounds. Viewers can suspend their disbelief for certain things (that exes can stay friends), but when you have people muttering that Meghan Trainor is not “fat” enough to sing “All About That Bass,” then you have to cast a convincing actor to play a 350-lbs character. Since then, Sidibe has had several television roles, starting with Showtime’s The Big C, moving on to American Horror Story: Coven, and then Empire.
10. Madonna
Madonna is no movie star. Nor is she a TV star. She is above all else a musician, and one of the best-selling musicians of all-time, at that. But she has acted, albeit to scathing reviews, in such films asDesperately Seeking Susan and Evita. Many people have compared Lady Gaga to Madge, due to both their approach to their craft and to their personal narrative: they’re both peculiar-looking Italian New-York Catholics with dogged work ethics and spectacular ambitions. Unlike Katy Perry or Beyonce, Madonna has never been a sex symbol. Sure, she sold sex like a condom commercial, but never did she do come-hither dances on Brazilian beaches or sing: “It’s time to bring out the big balloons.” Tough and talented, Madonna was never hot.
