* Lizzie in ''[[Theater/The Rainmaker|The Rainmaker]]'' insists she's plain. Starbuck [[Letting Her Hair Down|takes her hair down]] and convinces her otherwise.
* Adrian in ''[[Rocky (film)|Rocky]]''.
* Subverted in ''[[Shallow Hal]],'' when Hal (Jack Black) believes that his "slender" love-interest (Gwyneth Paltrow) has been abused into simply ''thinking'' she's not beautiful -- whenbeautiful—when the fact is that she weighs 300  lbs., but he's simply been ''hypnotized'' into thinking that she looks like Gwyneth Paltrow.

Line 93:
* Jadis from the [[Whateley Universe]] believes herself to be unattractive. She's plain at worst, but most of her issues come from being in a school full of Exemplars, and while she's been classified as an Exemplar, she hasn't got the looks to go with it.
* Iriana of ''[[Ilivais X]]'' is a little in the [[Uncanny Valley]], but she believes that she's an undesirable freak and not even worth being called human. However, every single one of her teammates thinks she's VERY cute, Mille in particular consistently fantasizing about her.
* [[Marz Gurl]] seems to think this, in spite of being one [[Channel Awesome]]'s biggest [[Dude Magnet|Dude Magnets]]s.

Line 106:
 
* [[Audrey Hepburn]] thought she wasn't very attractive. Allegedly, she once said: "I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine".
* [[Meganekko]] [[Rachel Maddow]] said at a 2009 "New Yorker" Festival, "I'm not very pretty...I am what I am. I look like a [[Bifauxnen|dude]]. [[Hot Chick in a Badass Suit|I wear boring jackets]] . I have a [[Cleopatra Nose|big nose ]]. I have [[Boyish Short Hair|short hair ]]. No one is going to mix me up with a Fox Business anchor."
* Male example: [[Benedict Cumberbatch]], who usually [http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/4343480/Sherlock-star-Benedict-Cumberbatch-Im-not-even-the-sexiest-man-in-my-own-flat.html describes his looks] in a [[Self-Deprecation|self-deprecating]] way.
