* Creator/GerardButler as the Phantom in the musical ''Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004'' is an extreme example of this. The nature of the Phantom's deformity is already different from [[Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera the source novel]]'s in the [[Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera stage version]] (in the novel his face resembles a skull, and the stage version it's only half of his face that's affected), but still, he's alarming to look at unmasked. Butler's deformity in the film is commonly described as resembling third-degree sunburn at worst. On top of this, while the Phantom is usually played by middle-aged actors on stage - in part because a key plot thread is Christine seeing him as a father figure - Butler was 34 when the film was shot. HotterAndSexier, sure, but this is supposed to be one character whose entire point is that he is ''not at all'' hot or sexy!
* Creator/JulianSands played the Phantom in ''Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera1998'' with ''his regular face'' (though then again, that adaptation ''did'' include him having sex with rats, a condition many people would find ''more'' repulsive than a disfigured face, so this one may even out).

** The Phantom wasn’t the only one in 2004 film to get an [[HotterAndSexier attractive]] makeover, as surprisingly Madame Giry gets this.

* M.Bison (Vega in Japan) from the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' games has creepy white eyes and [[EvilMakesYouUgly unpleasant]] face with a near [[PerpetualSmiler constant]] SlasherSmile plastered on it. In ''Film/StreetFighterTheMovie'' he's played by late and great comely LatinLover Creator/RaúlJuliá who while not muscly like in the games, has got normal eyes and nowhere near as threatening face.



* In the book ''Literature/DrNo'', Honey Rider had a broken nose, which Bond was kind enough to pay for plastic surgery to fix in the epilogue. In the film ''Film/DrNo'', Honey Rider had no such deformity.

* ''Franchise/HerculePoirot'':
** ''Literature/MurderOnTheOrientExpress'':
*** Mrs Hubbard is described in the book as stout and plain [[spoiler:making the surprise that she’s actually acclaimed actress Linda Arden even greater]]. In the 1974 film she’s played by Lauren Bacall who is thin, tall and comely, whilst in the 2017 film she’s played by Creator/MichellePfeiffer. This makes the reveal about her character less shocking in some respects.
*** M.Bouc is a short, stout elderly man in the book, in the 2017 film he gets AgeLift and is played by the handsome Creator/TomBateman. Although to be fair the [[Series/{{Poirot}} TV adaptation]] had a similarly younger Bouc than the book or 1974 film.
*** Princess Dragomiroff is described as hideous of to the point of {{gonk}} in the book. In the 2017 adaptation she’s played by the lovely Creator/JudiDench who while old isn’t the wizened toad Christie describes in the book.
*** Greta Ohlsson (a middle aged Swedish woman)‘s {{expy}} Pilar Estravados is portrayed by real life MsFanservice Creator/PenelopeCruz, who besides being more attractive is [[RaceLift Spanish instead of Swedish]].
*** Edward Ratchett aka Cassetti is described as plain looking and balding. In the 2017 film he’s played by Creator/JohnnyDepp.
** ''Literature/DeathOnTheNile'':
*** Jacqueline is a compilcated case, in the book she's described as not quite beautiful but certainy striking, being waif-like and comely rather than being outright attractive like Linnet is. The ethereally pretty Creator/MiaFarrow from the [[Film/DeathOnTheNile1978 1978 film]] fits that description pretty well. In the [[Film/DeathOnTheNile2022 2022 film]] however Jackie is played by the straught up gorgeous and [[AdaptationalCurves shapely]] Creator/EmmaMackey, who manages to equal Linnet (played by the former [[BeautyContest Miss Israel]] Creator/GalGadot) in looks.
*** Salome Otterbourne isn't supposed to be attractive, being a ridiculous DirtyOldWoman and [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]]. The book and previous adaptations made her out to be somewhat of an AbhorrentAdmirer to Poirot. In the 2022 film she's played by the younger and beautiful Creator/SophieOkonedo and her attraction to Poirot is very much [[PromotedToLoveInterest reciprocated]].
*** Andrew Pennington (renamed Andrew [[RaceLift Katchadourian]]) thanks to getting a AgeLift goes from a older and stuffy HonoraryUncle from the books and prior adaptations, to being a younger and handsome cousin played by Ali Fazal in the 2022 film.
*** Non-character example with the SS Karnak, in the book and other adaptations the Karnak is a small and unremarkable streamer. In the 2022 film it's a spectuclar CoolBoat with [[SceneryPorn truly luxuriously exteriors and interiors]].
** Poirot in general gets this. In the books thanks to Christie considering him a CreatorsPest he has unflattering description being a short and unattractive man with a bald "egg-shaped head". In the 1974 film he's played by Creator/AlbertFinney who has full dark hair and while no adonis he doesn't match the gonkish book description. In 1978 ''Death on the Nile'' and 1982 ''Film/EvilUnderTheSun'' he's played by BigBeautifulMan Creator/PeterUstinov. In the aforementioned 2017 and 2022 adaptations he's played by Creator/KennethBranagh who lacks even the signature large gut of the Belgium dectective.

** Similarly Sheva and Motaro have inhuman features in the games being from Outworld, in ''Annihilation'' however despite being a [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four armed woman]] and a [[OurCentaursAreDifferent horned centuar]] respectively, they have normal and attractive human faces.
** Mileena gets this twice, in most games whlist having a [[MsFanservice shapely body]] she has very alarming features with massive sharp teeth and no lips (barring MKX). In ''Annihilation'' she has a normal face and mouth and only when she snarls is apparant that she has ScaryTeeth. In ''Film/MortalKombat2021'' besides some dirty blood marks on her face (in liu of a face mask) she has normal lips and it's only when she puts her GameFace on that she's frightening. In the game Mileena has a NightmareFace 24/7.
** Kano in the games usually looks like a hairy middle-aged thug, in the [[Film/MortalKombatTheMovie 1995 film]] he's played by the more hunky Trevor Goddard and in the 2021 film he's played by the handsome Josh Lawson.
** Scorpion in the games as a burning wraith has [[DemBones skeleton features]] similar to ComicBook/GhostRider under the "mask" that is his head, in the 2021 film only Scorpion's mouth is ghastly and only when performing his [[BreathWeapon Toasty!]] FinishingMove



* ''Film/{{Cruella}}:'' in ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', Cruella De Ville has a gaunt face and skeletal frame, making her look like an old woman even though she's the same age as Anita (late 20's), and her henchmen Jasper and Horace are both middle-aged and ugly. But in ''Cruella'', she's played by the lovely Creator/EmmaStone. Jasper and Horace are also less ugly and around Cruella's age, and Jasper in particular has the roguish bad boy look going on (played by Creator/JoelFry).

* Famous aversion in ''Film/TheShining'' as in Creator/StephenKing’s [[Literature/TheShining novel]] Jack Torrance is rugged and tall, and his wife Wendy is blonde and beautiful.

** Hobbits are generally portly, but with the exception of Sean Astin, who is already stocky and gained some weight for the role of Sam, the producers hired slender actors for the Fellowship hobbits. Director Peter Jackson didn't want the characters to look like little people by being overly stocky. Frodo in the books is described as "stout," and, while he's supposed to look younger than his actual age (fifty), teenage Creator/ElijahWood is definitely stretching it. Then again, hobbits do age more slowly than humans. Hobbits in the books are also said to look friendly, not handsome or beautiful, which cannot be said for the Fellowship hobbits.

* Creator/RalphFiennes playing Dolarhyde in ''Film/RedDragon''. According to the book, Dolarhyde, though plain, is nowhere near as hideous as he thinks he is (certainly not ugly enough for every woman to automatically reject him based on looks), but he still doesn't look like Fiennes. Dolarhyde's insecurity about his looks is (at least according to the movie) rooted in him having a cleft palate, which was corrected later with surgery. ''Film/{{Manhunter}}'''s Dolarhyde clearly showed the scar from the operation but Ralph Fiennes playing Dolarhyde [[InformedDeformity just looks like--Ralph Fiennes]]. Not that [[ScienceMarchesOn cleft palate surgery hasn't come a long way]] since then but ''Film/RedDragon'' is supposed to be a remake, not a reboot.
** Speaking of ''Film/{{Manhunter}}'', Freddy Lounds was played by Creator/StephenLang, who even today is most certainly not lumpy, ugly, and short with buck teeth like Lounds is described in the novel.

** Subverted to a degree with Lady Jesscia, in the book and 1984 film (where she's played by Francesca Annis) she's a regal beauty who is desired by Piter and several other males. In the 2021 film Jessica is played by Creator/RebeccaFerguson, who is quite attractive mind you, but like the other Bene Gesserit she's mostly [[BeautyInversion made up]] in unflattering creepy Sith-esque attire and in general isn't quite as striking described in the book. Possibly this was a play for realism from the filmmakers, given she has a 15 year old son.

** In the novel, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is so morbidly obese that he can barely walk on his own and has to rely on anti-gravity devices to move around. In the 2021 film adaptation, he still has a large paunch, but looks much less heavy than his literary counterpart. He's also portrayed as very tall and broad-shouldered, suggesting that at least some of his massive weight comes from actual muscle rather than pure fat.
