- Jennifer Coolidge says her definition of beauty has evolved over the years. “It’s much broader now,” the 'White Lotus' star says. “Growing up, it was really about beauty pageants. I like that the sky’s the limit now; it’s not this rigid line that we all have to walk. It’s really exciting.” The actress, who is currently filming the second installment of the HBO Max series in Italy, also reveals that she finds joy as the sun goes down: “I was just meant to be a night person. It’s the only time I feel really good.”

Jennifer Coolidge Says "Being Really Good Looking Is Overrated" | PEOPLE
/ people - Розваги
She's right....some people just rode through life on their looks rather than develop a personality.
Lmao cope harder
too true
Not some everyone who has looks
jealousy is a disease
When beautiful people get old they have a more challenging time than normal people.They are used to the positive attention and that goes away.It's truly hard for them
Jennifer Coolidge is a national treasure
International!!
😳😳😳😳😳🙄🙄🙄🙄
😂
🙏😊🙏 I AGREE SIR 😉: Like Goldie Hawn, and Diane Keaton...THIS WOMAN IS BEYOND GORGEOUS 😘 "UNIVERSAL," CUZ SHE IS THE REAL DEAL"...I LOVE HER SO MUCH TOO...GOD BLESS HER...🙏😇🙏
YES!! She has that RARE Betty White "gene" that is absolutely national treasure worthy 🥰💕🤩 .
Well, she is stunning in & out and don’t think u will ever get bored by her side
I've met her more than once and had to work for her the woman is hideous and I'm not talking about anything I saw with my eyes
I don’t think she’s pretty at all and she’s full of herself and obnoxious.
@@lady4191But she's got the charisma to fool people into thinking she's 'cool AF' haha.
People refuse to realize that it is all a performance!, it's an illusion
Finch approves.
Somebody needs to write Jennifer Coolidge and Michelle Pfeiffer as sisters...I feel like there'd be some strange & wonderful alchemy there.
Yes! That’s who she reminded me of! They have similar lips and smile…
Yesssss
This and the dolly parton/elvira as sisters would be perfect.
Omg you are so right!!
That’s brilliant.
"unless your sleeping with that person, and then it's kinda fun" I love her
That was the best line 😂🥂
And even that line is not necessary true, they might be very boring and lazy lovers haha.
She’s hilarious even when she doesn’t try
Yes... I feel her on the night owl thing. I am just NOT a morning/day person at all. But at night, I am a totally different person.
Maybe you were born at night ,,
me too, and I am a vampire
Honestly, I’m just going to blame it on the fact I was born at midnight
My theory is the troupe of human apes thrived when they had a few people who were alert at night. We're actually humanity's secret defense weapon. Just with more parties now than back in the (neolithic) day.
SAME❣❣
Wow first time saw her in a real life, she's PURE CHARISMA! She's got the kind of energy that you wanna befriend her immediately.
Not me!
It's amazing how quickly and dramatically one's personality alters their looks once you interact with them... says it all
Ikr
She’s so brutally honest and fully herself all the time. She deserves more attention and opportunities! Love her
I love her! So glad she's getting more press now because she's always been a star.
She's really quite beautiful. Very striking. And funny as all hell. Love her!
I loved her in Two broken girls. I haven't seen her movies.
I love her hooded eyes, her smile and charisma. She's awesome
This woman is one of a kind
She's just lovely. Recently finished series 1 & 2 of The White Lotus and she did a great job of getting you to sympathise, warm to and root for a privelegded and pretty insufferable (on paper) character.
What's it on?
@@lh9761 HBO Max or Hulu if you have the package that includes HBO content
O
I agree mostly with what she says except for the fact that being beautiful DOES get you something. Good looking people are paid better and are always given 'undeserved' perks such as entering a club or being seated first and numerous other things that make life easier and more enjoyable.
It’s called attractive leniency bias.
Or the "halo" effect
Tbh it's more affected by being well-maintained in my experience, people judge more based on things the majority of people can change
So weight, fitness, hygiene, are the clothes clean, do the clothes suit the person
I'm aware there's disorders that can affect how people perceive other's self-care like hypothyroiditusm, lipedema, hormonal disorders etc and it's in no way fair at all but I think this attractive person thing is less genetics than people tend to believe
That doesn't make the bias fair or fine though
When I was younger being the prettiest one in the room was always the goal, and you tended to feel jealousy or envy if someone younger or prettier took the spotlight. I remember a boss of mine telling me they weren't going to hire someone because they were too" pretty. That intense competition when you are younger is brutal and either you're on the receiving end or dishing it out. It was exhausting.
I had a friend who was so attractive people would flock to her like a magnet and she got offered all these free entry to events but she was desperately unhappy because felt like no one saw the real her. She tried really hard to be interesting, started being an artist but really everyone just wanted her beauty... Women and men
Yeah. Good and bad to all things. I hope she finds people who truly see her. Its rare to find and if she is very attractive it may be even more difficult to find.
Weirdly I am a night owl too, I've been going to bed at 4, 5 6 am, ridiculously I thrive at night, and some of us do.
I just love her take on being a night person! I can so relate, I absolutely go into party mode between 8-9pm at night although I spend most of the day feeling wrecked!
I get really happy around 5 pm because it means its almost nighttime lol
Same!
Being really good looking is overrated until you lose x-amount of pounds and suddenly look really hot and everyone is super nice to you and gives you compliments and wants to hang out. Pretty privilege is real and you FEEL it. Believe me, being overlooked and ignored sucks so much. It may be shallow, but when you’re beautiful, you are seen and sought after. Having experienced both sides, I make a big effort to make sure I’m as attractive as I can be. Life is just better, plain and simple.
Yes it is self sabotage to not TRY to be your most attractive version. But it says you don’t care about people like you as well. Which is cool. So it just depends where you’re at
I experience both. I find if I look good women are the enemy, so thats not easy especially if any of them have power over you.
I love it when people are this honest 💙
To me a pretty face is charming yes but forgettable. I’ll take a funny a person over a hot one any day
we need more jennifer! such a kind beautiful soul
What an icon
I have to disagree about having good looks not being a perk. Ask anyone who hasn't been blessed with looks or outright "ugly" (me) if it has negatively affected nearly every aspect of their life. People who are lucky enough don't understand because they dont experience or witness how uglier people are treated. It even affects how doctors, police, teachers, bosses, work colleagues, and even family treat you. You're treated with contempt and disdain, and the odd nice person that tries to be nice because they feel sorry for you and has seen whats it's like for you.
I'm not a superficial person, just really gets to me when people say having good looks doesn't help you,
Its the same when people say money doesn't bring you happiness. Er, if you're wealthy, you can afford the best medical care, attend decent schools, live in the safest areas, travel and meet all sorts of cool people. How can you say those things don't bring you some relief and joy as opposed to not having access to any of that stuff? Money saves people's lives. Hell yes it brings you happiness and life quality.
Unfortunately there’s also a dark side to being attractive especially for women. So while you may not get the perks, you don’t also get the very particular negatives of being attractive. One of my very attractive female coworkers has had multiple stalkers. Men will go out of their way to violate your space. You have to be very careful about showing any form of cheerfulness. Other women can become very jealous and vicious around you. This can sabotage your career opportunities as they are good at hiding their true feelings. People will assume your success is due to your appearance especially if you work in a male dominated field. Some people will go as far to assume that you used your body to get special favors. Some will preposition you based on that assumption. They won’t take you seriously if you work in a mentally rigourous field.
A lot of the niceness that you get, is actually fake. Men want some thing from you. They just become a bit better at hiding it or they go to further lengths to hide it. But eventually it comes out especially after you sleep with them. There’s a certain kind of peace and knowing that people are your friends and lovers because of who you are and not some thing you have limited control over. That element is the same thing as having a lot of money. You cant always be sure that people have the right intentions around you.
@@thezu9250 I'm sooo soooooo with you on this!!! As if I had written it myself, really! I was just thinking about beautiful, rich, successful women... take Britney, Amy or Whitney... especially two latter ones, what a tragic life and end in each case... and I thought they had it all because they "made it" big!! I also kinda understand why rich people date other rich people... still, being rich and beautiful doesn't guarantee being happy and fulfilled in life.
She didn't say that it's not a perk in some cases or life in general, she said that it's overrated and boring. "It doesn't help you and it doesn't get you out of your misery" - her exact words, so I would still say she doesn't consider it a great perk in life. Please, don't think of yourself as "ugly". I agree with the rest of your comments, cause I feel the same. But! I also have to agree with The Zu above, drop dead gorgeous women are always in danger of all the things she mentioned. As a person keen on true crime I can give you thousands of examples of beautiful, young women killed because of jealousy or other stupid reasons. Would you like to be bludgeon to death just after your prom? I wouldn't. I consider myself average but probably quite good looking based on people's reactions (except for the nose, but oh well), but believe me, it didn't bring me more happiness, rather disappointment. I was "loved" for my looks. Well, at least I wasn't killed for it. Now, on a dating side I block every guy eho starts his message with: "Hello beautiful!" I hate it! I only trully love my cats, cause they love me for ME and because I love them, not because of my looks. Be happy no matter what! Focus on important stuff, not some superficial boyfriends or idiots from your family who treat your prettier sister better! PS - On the money thing I totally agree. Maybe not always happiness, but money definitely can safe your health or life, no doubt about it. Take care of yourself and love yourself no matter what.
My impression was she didn’t mean it doesn’t make life easier in certain aspects, that it in fact does make life easier. But as a result, the most “beautiful” pple ride on their god given looks instead of developing a deeper understanding of humanity? Or a great sense of humor and compassion and substantial parts of their humanity, and that creates narcissism & surface personality which is absolutely boring. It doesn’t prevent misery.
I’m really sorry that you have to deal with that. Life is unfair in ways I don’t I understand. I hope you find some peace in a shallow world, my friend.
I am a night person too... the trouble is, finding other night people like me! I am surrounded by early birds!
It's a shallow thing but it makes your life easier. Many beautiful people don't realize it until they start aging and losing their privilege.
It only makes your life easier if you know how to use your looks. Lots of people don't. It's far better to be smart and focused, that way you can make money and bring about the looks through self-care and cosmetic stuff. I have met plenty of beautiful women who have ended up in the dirt, because they did not have the savviness, so all they did was get used. Beauty without street smarts can actually be a total car wreck, and again specially for women. The males of this century will use them and dump them for the chick with the fattest wallet or better job.
@@selmahare it's true. I've had guys try to use me and had to wise up, I've also seen friends of mine that were pretty,knew it, and used it to get ahead. They knew exactly how they were viewed and turned the game guys played back around on them. Which in some ways was refreshing,except when they did that to relatively good guys too.. then I started giving the side eye. That whole "one who fights monsters should see to it that they don't become a monster themselves" comes to mind.
My point? Rather you are cute,pretty,drop dead gorgeous, or just not very memorable at all look wise, it's best to make sure we obtain and maintain a healthy balance. Work on your looks, personality, education, job etc. If all you have is one tool, you're not gonna make it very far 🤷♀️
Oh please. The “good” guys were after the sane thing too. Men are more visual and sexual than women. Good & bad ones. Stop judging. You’re not really her friend.
Tell that to every person who gets ahead because of their looks...we live in the era where merit = good looks
My sister was the prettiest in her class and got bullied for it by the other girls who were jealous. So many guys got crushes on her, she married her highschool sweetheart maybe to not have to deal with that. It can be a curse.
She so great, one of the most entertaining people in the film industry
I need friends like her. She cracks me up
Funny, beautiful AND insightful.
This boosted my self esteem, thanks Jennifer 💕
People say this, but if you could press a button that'll turn you into the best version of you, you'll press it.
Being truly complete is being of sound body and mind.
She is so down to earth! She's amazing!
Omg, this lady looks like she is really fun to be around 😊 and I sooo agree on that "beauty is overrated" thing. I used to be a super attractive girl with a great body and actually it does almost nothing to your life. Like OK, may be people are a bit nicer and a bit more helpful to you. And that's it. Also you attract narcissists and manipulative people and sometimes good decent guys kind of shy away from you because they doubt themselves in your presence. Apart from that - it doesn't make any difference whether you look stunning or mildly good. I totally agree that appearance is the most overrated thing in the world.
Bring ugly is only okay when you have other talents or at least alot of money. Otherwise you really lost in life.
@@mariemaier5630 😂
Agree 100%
@T J I really doubt it. Quite contrary, appearance matters only when you make first impressions. In long term relationship it's personality that matters.
Also there is a famous quote: when you are looking at a stunning woman keep in mind there exist a man who is bored of sleeping with her.
I saw this phrase a few times under different videos (if I'm not mistaken one video was about Monika Bellucci's divorce, another was about Beyonce's man cheating).
Gosh I really love listening yo this woman... she seems so wise, beautiful and charismatic 😍🤩 I'm going to search out all the long Jennifer interviews now!!
"It's a shallow thing, unless you're sleeping with that person" hahahahahaha so true 😁😁😁😁
“Unless you’re sleeping with that person…then it’s kinda fun!”
Her one liners are legendary. Jennifer Coolidge never disappoints! 😂😂😂😭😭
Such a charming woman just love her and her attitude 😍
I relate to this 100%. My morning life has always been very very difficult.
0:08 I feel the exact same. Nice to know JC is "nightbreed" too. ❤❤❤
Being really attractive is a blessing and a curse. I've only seen one person navigate it well. And that was Farrah Fawcett. She was always humble and kind. Gracious to a fault and stunning in person! (I met her several times) No pretense. Seemed up for anything or cool with it. She had many female friends and very few male lovers. Both of which are rare traits in any beautiful woman. And she had a kickass personality.
I love you Jennifer. Keep these messages coming ❤
She’s so awesome
I love her ❤ she has such a warm personality and vibe
I love her! She's such a charismatic person
so funny I coincidentally heard that on an audiobook today, about how most people who are beautiful are actually super boring. Love Jennifer!
stop coping, most women in general are boring lol
@@veronicachic I think if we are being honest, then I'd have to admit most PEOPLE are boring 😂
That’s better. This hating on beautiful ppl thread is boring lol
She looks so good! Like she’s glowing!!!
Can’t wait to see what’s next for you, we will all be there!!!
You can tell she has been spending time around the "young ins"!
She’s a treasure! 🖤
Love the way she smiles
So lovable, there's something so pure about her, almost like a child.
I'm happiest at night too!!! 🌙 midday is the most anxious it seems 😬
Omg, I love how she's expressing stuff * . *
Jennifer Coolidge is one of my favorite actresses 🌟
I love her so much, I'm a night owl too lol I'm always in a bad down mood in the daytime and when the sun goes down I'm so happy suddenly
She's such a terrific and funny person, I'll watch anything she's in.
12AM here and I feel u
I just love her. And she’s right in a general sense. Our flaws make us interesting and unique.
Could I love her any more? I don't think so.
Really wanted to see the painting
That's so me!!! I'm a night person too
I can totally relate to what she says about being a night person... I've always felt exactly like that. Never really like the Sun or the light of day much - it just makes me feel so tired. Always worked late night and early morning shifts and always felt better that way.
Also a night person and feel wretched mornings and days -- at least until 6 pm when the energy picks up
Literally love her she is wonderful because she's truthful a serious talent who moves me 👍
I love early mornings too but i hear her about night, I also like the evening a lot. But day time can have it’s benefits too.
I am with you too, Jennifer - I LOVE night time 🌃 most of all ... 🤩
Well said Jennifer, I love u!
She's AMAZING. Everything she said was so honest. Also, I think she's a Witch like me 😇...so many Witches absolutely adore the night time. Especially the super creative ones. Not that you have to BE ANYTHING to enjoy the night time, just saying that I wonder if she knows or senses that about herself...🤔 ?
Beautifully said! I’ve always felt beauty is amazing but also it doesn’t HELP anything. You have to utilize what resources you gain with beauty to help implement change, if that’s your goal.
(That’s mine)
Because beauty is also hypnotic . Which means people will be more open to suggestion. Which means power. Which means you can actually influence more than the average Joe. (No offense joe)
I'm the same! That time in the evening !
She is soooo beautiful inside and out
I was just thinking about how I wish I could get a facelift, then this video popped up 😭 thanks, Jennifer 💖
I love this woman so much!
Is that her art studio? If yes I never knew she did ceramics! So cool
hahahahah she just cracks me up - when she pauses talking - you always know it's worth the wait
I love nighttime too. She is a superb actor ♥️
Gosh… night time. I feel ya!
She is a true goddess! ❤️
Love her - being funny is natural.
I’ve always love this lady.
I cant! If the first two minutes were the most relatable, hilarious statements.
What a smart woman,İ love listening to her
I’m a night person too! I totally get that.
I’m a night owl also even though I enjoy sunny days I really don’t feel energized until it starts to get dark outside :) Beauty is really from the inside out, as is talent, creativity, intelligence and so much more. Physical beauty is nice but it’s not everything.
Gorgeous and hilarious, the perfect woman!
I think she’s my new spirit animal.
She's so beautiful in this video!
Love her so much. Gorg inside and out
I love her do much and can relate to her ways ❤ she’s a beautiful smart funny lady
She’s so real, everything she says is true and I’m like her - a night time person… I just function better at night, I feel more like myself and I feel like I’m really alive at night. I can do everything better at night 😉… haha yeah, THAT too 🙃
Love you, Jennifer Coolidge, you’re really cool… it’s in your name! 😃💕
She’s beautiful inside and out. A wonderful member of the species
She is awesome
I can relate so much with being night owl.
She's so beautiful!
I love this woman soooo much it's insane
Amazing actress!! 😼👏🏻👏🏻😊
That workshop is my dream.
Sophie Katchinsky ♥ I'll never not hear the polish accent when she speaks.
