Section: The 50 Most Beautiful People 2003
STEVE MARTIN: ACTOR/WRITER
By Steve Martin
"IT'S VERY HARD BEING ONE of the most beautiful people.
Having this kind of beauty is actually a burden. Sometimes I go to a party
and not one of the other 49 most beautiful people is there. That makes me
feel very solitary and alone, because it means I am the most beautiful
person in the room.
"If I'm going to a party where I know there will be 'less-beautiful people,'
I try to 'dress down' in order to hide my beauty. But this seems to have a
counter-effect of actually making me more beautiful. I guess me and
dungarees are a pretty potent combination.
"I try not to lord my beauty over others. This is very hard. I try not to
mention that I am one of the most beautiful people, but somehow it always
comes out. I will usually only bring it up when I'm asked to do a task, like
open a garage door. People seem to enjoy my beauty and are genuinely happy
for me, because after I mention it they always say, 'How nice for you.'"
