From the Nerve.com list of the “Twenty Sexiest Ugly People:“
9) Willem Dafoe
An immortal Simpsons episode finds Bart and Lisa watching a movie called “The Muppets Go Medieval”; they ask their father why one of the muppets is made of leather, not realizing they’re looking at an aging Troy McClure. We ask the same question every time Willem Dafoe is in a movie. The guy looks like a hairless Shar-Pei, and he only gets scarier when he smiles or grimaces. It’s a little exciting to be scared, isn’t it? For a taste of Dafoe’s strange allure, forget his crazy/sexy Jesus in The Last Temptation of Christ and go straight to his drag-queen performance in Boondock Saints.
YES! Willem Dafoe is freaky-looking… and totally hawt.
And for the record, his unsettingly sexy portrayal of the son of god in Last Temptation left me much more, shall we say, ”confused” than his cross-dressing, gay detective in Boondock Saints. 
Incidentally, LTOC is one of my all-time favorite films, but I’ll save the religious and philosophical commentary for another day.
