this might be me, but i always feel that this is a common issue with the male-leads in YA stuff? they're supposed to be drop-dead gorgeous but all the guys that play them are... well ugly isn't the right word, but just average hollywood handsome? nothing stand-out? i genuinely can't think of a single YA male-lead i actually thought was as attractive as their book-self is meant to be.

Hollywood prefers to only allow people to be good looking in exactly 1 way

I don't read much YA, but it seems to me like the novel leans more towards pretty boys and Hollywood has a hard time believing that sexy doesn't always mean rugged and ripped, not necessarily beautiful,

That sounds about right.

This. YA readers and Hollywood execs have very different ideas when it comes to 'gorgeous male lead'.

Strongly seconding (fourthing?) this.

The Onion review of Hunger Games agrees:

“I mean, he’s not ugly, he could have just been way cuter.”
