>While there are still plenty of classically "beautiful" Hollywood types, you also now have strong actors who, image wise society would consider to be "normal / average" people. I think this is a positive, depending on the role & the film. Many people connect to it more.
I actually think there are less "average looking" big actors in the current generation and also kinda ironic, the actors you mentioned all rose to stardom either in the era where movies were in your opinion true escapism or even before that era.
Melissa McCarthy was also never a superstar in Hollywood and her biggest box office hit was Charlie's Angel which came out in 2000.
