The potential downsides to mucking about with the space-time continuum.
As seen in ‘It’s a Great Feeling’ (1949)
We’re stretching the definition of ‘unflattering’ slightly here, but it’s nice to know that even in the early days, Hollywood’s biggest stars could poke gentle fun at themselves. Playing herself as a jolly but haughty grand dame who’ll launch into one of her famous speeches (from ‘Mildred Pierce’, in case you’re wondering) at the drop of a hat, this is a far cry from the cannibalistic carnage of ‘This Is the End’ – but hey, these were early days.

Famous folk love to be flattered, and there’s nothing more satisfying to the ego than seeing yourself reflected back, ten times bigger than life. But these megastars are also keen to prove that, deep down, they’re as human as you and me – and equally willing to laugh at themselves.
Seth Rogen’s new movie ‘This Is the End’ (which opens in cinemas on June 28) pushes the trend to its extreme – in one scene, a cannibalistic Danny McBride forces another big star to perform sexual favours for him – but it’s hardly a new phenomenon. Here, for your slightly awkward enjoyment, are the ten most unflattering celebrity self-portraits on film.
