Bill Goldberg Ranked Ugliest On-Screen Santa Claus Of All-Time

Goldberg has a new accolade in his storied career — he’s the ugliest Santa Claus ever!

According to a new feature from Gambling.com, former WWE/WCW star Bill Goldberg is the least attractive Santa Claus ever seen on screen. The site used the popular beauty measurement app Golden Ratio Face to rank the hottest and ugliest on-screen Santas, and Golberg topped the latter poll for his portrayal of Saint Nick in the 2005 film Santa’s Slay.

As if that wasn’t enough, Goldberg was the only actor out of 72 people featured on the list that scored a sub-zero ranking.

The site noted the following omissions: A. Cameron Grant (I Love Lucy Christmas Show-1956); Jay Clark (Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny – 1972); and Douglas Campbell (Once Upon a Christmas – 2000) were not included in the study as pictures of each actor could not be found or didn’t qualify for assessment.
