True.
He is an arch and perceptive cynic, and clever enough to make a lot of money out of that. There must be some charm or charisma there too (behind the scenes), otherwise his success as a variety act wouldn't be possible.
Little Emma is not a great actor or particularly attractive. But she got a degree from a good university and makes the right noises. Thus this young little airhead has been elevated to the status of a sage.

I think she's quite pretty.
She also acted the precocious goody toe-shoes little girl pretty well, presumably because she was exactly that in real life.
But other than that she should fuck off.

The kindest I can be about her appearance is that
she is handsome. That adjective is usually applied to males. She doesn't have a feminine face in my eyes. It doesn't mean she's unattractive per se. I fancy Cate Blanchett, she's handsome. Some people think Tilda Swinton is attractive. She's borderline handsome, but the wrong side of the border IMO. The faked, but so close to the truth it might as well have been true, Richard Dawkins comparison to her rings so true. And now, this gobshite multimillionaire child starts telling me she knows the solution to intergender sociopolitics. She can fuck right off.

the term you search for is
jolie laide. Untranslatable french for ugly/beautiful woman. There's another good one about monkey faces.

Comme toujours, tu as tort.
It is, evidentially, easily translatable. The stylistics of said translation are open to only very limited debate. It's hardly nuanced.
I have a degree in French, and have lived and worked in France.
It is you, that is the monkey face.

Alas my typing lacks the nuance of your degree in crapaud- what *were* you thinking?
I hope it was French plus something like politics, economics or possibly cunnilingus. Whay is the monkey beatury expression again. I do enjoy jolie laide.
edit: and that's vous until you've bought me a cavlados or passed a spliff on hanging bivouac.
