@aidan,
You are weird if you find his face beautiful in any sense. By the standard of symmetry alone, he is major league ugly.
This in no way invalidates your take on Julia Roberts (with which I agree).
Feeling sorry for him is also a valid reaction, but only if one appreciates that he is terribly ugly.
I couldn't care less what he looks like, but I hope he wasn't madly in love with someone who was playing with his affections. Instead I'm hoping he was wise to her all along and was OK with what was being traded.
But maybe that's because I'm a man.
