We Adjusted the Faces of 20+ Celebrities to Golden Ratio Standards, and Here Are the Results

The golden ratio is a mathematical equation found in nature that often appears in things people perceive as aesthetic. For example, flower petals, shells, and spiral galaxies all have ratios of 1:1.618 — the golden ratio. Theoretically, a human face with the golden ratio would be exceptionally attractive. So, we’ve used AI to alter celebrities’ faces to fit the golden ratio. The question is, are they really more beautiful this way?

Rihanna

Golden Ratio Rihanna looks like Regular Rihanna but without any of the distinctive features that set her apart. So, basically, a downgraded version. RiRi seems to know that standing out works for her, as she's never tried to fit into the stereotypical beauty standards.

The singer has said, "I'm not built like a Victoria's Secret girl, and I still feel very beautiful and confident in my lingerie." We'll take Real Rihanna any day of the week!

Jennifer Lopez

We're not sure what the golden ratio's done to Jennifer Lopez's nose, but can it please undo it?! Given that J.Lo changed the game in Hollywood by making curves socially acceptable, we're sure that she doesn't mind the fact that her face doesn't fit a specific mathematical formula.

In fact, when talking about how she's not super thin like many of the female celebs who came up in the '90s, Lopez expressed, "I feel great about it!"

Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth looks pretty similar both with and without the help of AI, although Golden Ratio Chris is inexplicably less manly looking. We can't really explain why but we think Original Hemsworth is hunkier.

It seems that the actor would agree that his testosterone-fueled appearance is part of his draw as a celebrity. When talking about his iconic work as Thor - which made him a household name - Hemsworth admitted, "There's an aesthetic that the role requires."

Henry Cavill

In 2022, Henry Cavill officially became known as the Most Handsome Man according to an annual survey. We have to say, we're not sure that Golden Ratio Henry would win that same honor. Being so attractive doesn't come without its drawbacks, though, as Cavill is often objectified.

In an attempt to call out the double standard between men and women, the actor revealed that he's had women shout things to him on the street like, "Oi, love, fancy a shag?" Hmmm, how about both genders hold themselves to higher standards?
