A Big Beautiful Man is noticeably chubby, and perhaps even obese, and yet considered genuinely beautiful and voluptuous for it. This trope was more common centuries ago, when having some extra body fat meant people were seen as healthier (as opposed to typically malnourished masses), and was also a sign of affluence. People could truly be Fat and Proud. It has become more of a Forgotten Trope over time as most societies have themselves become more affluent and have access to more and healthier varieties of food. Such large-set people are not as usually considered as attractive by today's audience or in today's works, where they would more likely be considered Fat Slobs for their girth. But while this is mostly true for women, it becomes a Double Standard with men. The sheer size of the Ugly Guy, Hot Wife page shows that Hollywood is more likely to let a fat man attract a lover with his personality and sense of humor. note Or perhaps his social standing or wealth? But per Rule of Funny, their beauty in another character's eyes is usually an Informed Attractiveness that doesn't even pretend to try to resonate with the audience. A very notable exception is in works that appeal to gay men. On one hand, chubby men are not always considered attractive in the gay community, especially in contexts where The Twink or the Bishōnen are considered the more marketable standard of beauty (ie, the majority of Western and Japanese works featuring gay men), and the rule of Hollywood Pudgy is in full force. But on the other hand, there is a sizable niche interest that finds them sexy and even Moe — these people are termed (for better or for worse) "chubby chasers". Among these include The Bear community, where body hair is the chief point of attractiveness, but most sexy chubbiness is also usually the order of the day. If the character is middle-aged or older, don't be surprised if he was The Twink in his younger years. The trope can also still be Played for Laughs when a chubby character sees himself as a Big Beautiful Man. Even then, it still often manages to come off as gay-for-oneself. LGBT Fanbase often gives Big Beautiful Man status to characters that were not (specifically) intended as such. This can apply to practically any chubby character. Even Santa Claus is not immune. The Spear Counterpart of Big Beautiful Woman. Big Beautiful Man can overlap to some degree with Acrofatic, Bara Genre, The Bear, Big Fun, The Big Guy, Charles Atlas Superpower, Fat and Proud, Hollywood Pudgy and Stout Strength. In fact, this trope overlaps with The Bear so often that some people consider them the same trope — except that technically this trope is about body fat and the other trope is about body hair. |

The barkeeper Pree from the sci-fi series Killjoys is thicc, femme, and highly charming. He's a very popular character with the audience, due to having a good sense of humor and a unique sense of fashion (often wearing tight, sarong-like wraps or robes that show off his big butt), as well as a lovely singing voice and a badass backstory as a mercenary warlord (complete with a ruggedly handsome ex who still wants him). And eventually, he gets an extremely fit and muscular himbo of a boyfriend/husband, who utterly adores him and basically turned his entire life around after just one meeting with Pree (during which he tried to bully Pree into giving up his bar and so Pree stabbed him), starting with hiring on as help in Pree's bar in order to stay near to him and getting therapy for his anger/masculinity issues. | |

Watchmen: Dan Dreiberg. Once he stopped crimefighting, Dreiberg presumably stopped getting his usual exercise (read: thrashing bad guys) and put on some weight. Under that, though, he's still quite strong, and he has a pretty handsome face to go with it. | |

Coop from Megas XLR. While the show makes jokes about how big and out of shape he is, his face isn't bloated and exaggerated and the animators draw him looking somewhat rugged and down to Earth handsome instead of conventionally good looking, similar to Rikio Kammamoto from Project K. It helps that he's also got a fun loving personality, is loyal to his friends, and proud of his fatness. | |

Circles has at least two of these. Marty is a chubby skunk who is at first timid about his weight, but his new roommate Taye actually finds him incredibly sexy, like a teddy bear, for which Ken derides him as a "chubby chaser". Then there's Arthur, the artistic Basement-Dweller — he's a...bear (both socially and literally), now in his 40s, who helps reassure Marty that there's nothing wrong with being portly. | |

Crusader Kings: Can be randomly (or even intentionally) invoked in the game if your male character has the "Attractive" and "Fat" traits. While the "Fat" trait does reduce attraction opinion by -5, the "Attractive" trait boosts attraction opinion by +30, meaning that this trope is in full effect. Goes even further if your male character has the "Brawny" and "Strong" traits, which further boost attraction opinion by a whopping +40 - in addition to boosting your combat skills. |

In The Simpsons, Homer Simpson is sometimes treated this way—Marge certainly finds him very attractive, but so have a number of other women over the course of the series. Of course, other times he's treated as either average and schlubby, or as hideously ugly depending on the needs of the plot and the Rule of Funny. Happens briefly to Ned Flanders in "Guess Who's Coming To Criticize Dinner." Homer's stint as a food critic and glowing reviews cause several Springfielders to get fat following his example, and while Ned's usually got a sculpted body akin to a Greek God he admittedly looks adorable with chubby cheeks and his belly sticking out of his shirt. |

Dan from Roseanne. Portrayed as quite desirable (being portrayed by John Goodman can't hurt at all in that department), to the point where it's heavily implied (and stated, at least in a fantasy sequence) that Roseanne's best friend Crystal basically wants to do him like her taxes. Roseanne's sister, Jackie, even considers him a major catch. | |

Shirobako has some large members on the Musashino Animation team. Their attractiveness is downplayed, but this is compensated for by their lovable personalities: Seiichi Kinoshita, director of Exodus. His childlike personality and appearance are quite endearing. He is also Big Fun and turns out to be a surprisingly awesome director when the need arises. He is said to have been less heavy before his wife divorced him and he became more of a Big Eater. Yutaka Honda, long-suffering Chief production assistant of Musashino Animation. Since he had to deal with all the trouble Kinoshita got them into, stress was a contributing factor to his weight gain. He gets skinny after resigning from the studio to work at a bakery like he always wanted, causing Kinoshita to reproach him for breaking their 'fat alliance'. It does wonders for his looks. |

Bouncing Boy from Legion of Super-Heroes, especially his reboot counterpart Chuck Taine. Also from the Legion came R.J. Brande who, in one issue from the Reboot Legion's era, spent most of an issue in a towel. And from what we saw, it was quite pleasing to the eye for a man of his age and size. |

Isami Aldini of Food Wars! stands out in a Cast Full of Pretty Boys as being the only one who is chubby. Despite this, he's no less popular than his Bishōnen twin brother Takumi, and many of his female admirers consider him adorable. That said, he does slim down during summer due to fatigue from the heat, and quickly becomes irrecognizably handsome. | |

Bobby of King of the Hill is a young "thinks he's hot stuff" variant. However, even though he's pudgy and not terribly handsome, his rather high self-esteem translates to him having a lot of self-confidence, and so he gets plenty of female attention anyway. | |

He seems to have inherited this from Ice Type Gym Leader Melony, who is a Big Beautiful Woman herself.

Oleg from Saints Row: The Third is a giant Russian Genius Bruiser. He's also the object of Kinzie's affections... and probably those of quite a few of the game's female fans. Similarly, because the game allows you to customize every aspect of your character, a male Boss can be one as well; he's quite tall himself and even with the "fat" slider maxed out, he still looks muscular and strong. In Saints Row 1 & 2, however... |

Spider-Man 2 has Otto Octavius/Doc Ock, who is quite ugly in the comics, but gets hit with Adaptational Attractiveness for the movie. He's still a paunchy middle-aged man, but even the DVD commentary mentions how they deliberately tried to make him charming, and he is very charismatic and competent. In-universe, he's been Happily Married to a beautiful woman for many years. | |

Otsu from Manly Appetites: Minegishi Loves Otsu might have a low opinion of his own looks but Minegishi outright says he's "thoroughly charming" just the way he is. He's actually downright horrified any time Otsu mentions the possibility of losing weight. | |

When fanartists create gijinkas, non-human characters who appear to be on the rounder side are often depicted as such. A good example is Whisper from Yo Kai Watch. Here are some examples by Bechnokid and Alice Chrosny Art. | |

American Dad!: Stan Smith is on the chunky side, having a nice layer of fat to accompany his noticeable muscle mass, and also suffers from Testosterone Poisoning. Although Stan's perception of his looks has been explored upon. In the first episode, he's admiring himself in the mirror wearing only his underwear and thinks he's a masterpiece, but in the second season when his family points out he's a little heavyset he becomes horrified and develops anorexia. Following this, Stan appearance has shifted to an even greater musculature, though still featuring a noticeable amount of fat, and most comments about Stan's attractiveness now pertain to his prominent backside. | |

Pro Wrestling NOAH didn't promote Takeshi Morishima where fans gravitated towards more traditional pretty boys and rugged faced but still thinner bodied KENTA. Whether they were being ironic or not, Ring of Honor fans did show "the love" when he became the heaviest champion they had seen. Allison Danger and Lacey and Becky Bayless seemed to be into him as well, enough for Becky and Lacey to put aside their differences to get close to him. | |

Randy from the Canadian mockumentary series Trailer Park Boys has a rather large, hairy gut and is ALWAYS shirtless (as wearing a shirt will give him a rash). He is seen as quite sexy at various times throughout the series by the trailer park owner, Barbara Lahey, Sarah, Lucy, and of course his long-term partner, trailer park supervisor Jim Lahey. He is also seen to have several signed photos from male celebrities from his days as "Smokey" the male prostitute. | |

Jason from Something*Positive is this. Given the cartoonish art style, though, the attractiveness part is mainly backed up by the number of women he attracts, and that can also be attributed to his brain or his big penis. | |

Steven Universe: Greg Universe was this combined with I Was Quite the Looker; in the present, he's got a gut, a bald spot, and a farmer's tan that makes him look rather schlubby. As a young man, he had a body type closer to Rose Quartz and a full head of hair, so he looked much more like an attractive rock star. His son seems to be on the same track as of the Future arc, only the "big" part is downplayed on account of him being much taller than his dad was around the same age range. | |

Super Mario Bros. series: Bowser considers himself to be the epitome of physique and manliness. But strangely, though he is very obviously chubby, he doesn't necessarily seem to see himself as chubby, at least until a particularly amusing scene in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Mario himself is rather pudgy (although he has seemingly leaned down over the years, especially in his more recent games where he is given a slimmer look), but is portrayed as a bit of a Chick Magnet in the RPGs, with female party members and NPCs commenting on how charming and handsome he is. |

Maui the demigod from Moana. While quite beefy, he has a hefty physique as well. He is also a legendary and respected hero, and (despite his huge ego) a genuinely humorous and valiant guy. During his song "You're Welcome", he shamelessly boasts about his looks (and many fans wouldn’t disagree with him). Probably doesn’t hurt that he is shirtless the entire movie, and his torso gets a lot of focus thanks to his sentient tattoos. | |

Subverted with Zapp Brannigan in Futurama, who is shown to be quite handsome even with his clearly visible gut (which is actually bigger than it looks due to him wearing a girdle). However, Zapp's also a moronic, self-absorbed, lecherous asshole and has only been able to get one woman (Leela) to ever sleep with him, and that was out of pity. Zapp's essentially a Fat Bastard where the "fat" aspect has nothing to do with the "bastard" part. | |

Bae Woong, the protagonist of Sexercise, is a former judoka who had to quit after a knee injury and is looking to lose weight one year later. Despite his low self-esteem and Weight Woe, he's still drawn as handsomely as he was at the peak of his judo days and still has quite a noticeable bit of muscle. He's also fairly popular with women: Hani thinks he's cute, Yoona flatout says his weight gain hasn't affected his good looks at all, and even Soohyun privately thinks to herself that he's an attractive guy. And to top it all off, he's "big" in other areas as well... | |

While he isn't sexualized in the source material, Aziraphale from Good Omens (2019) often gets this treatment from fans who prefer their man-shaped beings on the rounder side. Interestingly, this was true even when fans only had the original book to consult that didn't specify Aziraphale's body build since many fans reasoned that he would realistically have some chub on him due to his love of human food and lack of fastidiousness about his appearance compared to Crowley; Michael Sheen being cast as Aziraphale in the miniseries only solidified this already-existing trend. | |

Now that Critical Role's first campaign is getting an animated series adaptation in the form of The Legend of Vox Machina, the issue of Gilmore has come around again. This time, the creator team made very sure the character designer would draw him with a big belly and some meat on his bones, rejecting all the more conventionally attractive character design proposals until the designer got it right. And the reaction from mainstream audiences has been largely positive: At least female audiences usually take an immediate liking to Gilmore in his first appearance, due to his very camp and flirty personality, and because they don't expect this sort of openly and unconflictedly queer character in a high fantasy series. New viewers are usually surprised that the fit and slender protagonist Vax'ildan actually reponds positively to Gilmore's flirting, but by their second scene together (in episode 5), the TV-only viewers are generally just so happy that Gilmore is not a 'one scene wonder' but rather a recurring supporting character, that they accept that Vax has good reason for his attraction to the highly charming sorcerer. | |

Delicious in Dungeon: Senshi is normally drawn in a Gonk-ish way with cartoony round eyes, but whenever the author decides to draw him more realistically, it's shown he's a strikingly handsome stout man. At one moment, the party discusses the fact that he was always handsome and none of them noticed, and Chilchuck wouldn't want his daughters meeting him, because he's sure they'd fall for him. | |

In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, the mysteriously returning character Byakuya Togami boasts an inexplicably heavy build while maintaining his previous looks in all other respects: a clean-looking and well-dressed young man with a fresh-faced appearance and notable eyelashes. The Ultimate Imposter maintains every feature of their copied persons' appearance without concealing their notably heavy build, so combining that with Byakuya's appearance results in this trope as they impersonate him. In their final Free Time Event, they hint at their unmasked appearance as being this in a different way, asking Hajime if he'd like them if they were someone "more handsome and more disagreeable" than they've appeared thus far as Byakuya. | |

Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2 can potentially become this if the player fattens him up by eating a lot of high calorie items in a day. Unlike C.J's obesity which is Played for Laughs, Arthur is still undeniably a major Hunk. Which makes it worse when he contracts tuberculosis and gradually wastes away as a man. | |

In The Camp Half-Blood Series, Frank Zhang becomes this through the series. When he is first described and introduced in The Son of Neptune he is said to be a large and stocky boy, muscular enough to have a wrestler-like body but chubby enough for it to be a sumo wrestler's body. Interestingly, while he starts out as cute and cuddly (like a "Koala bear with muscles") it is pointed out that he isn't actually "handsome" due to the fatness and muscles not mixing well on him: his burly build and chubby face only make him look like a "giant baby on steroids". In The House of Hades, thanks to a blessing from Mars, he actually gets "handsome", as in a rougher and "warlike" handsome. But in the process he loses his fatness, as the blessing makes him taller and more muscular while removing his "spare tire" and "baby cheeks": in-story it is pointed out he went from a "teddy bear" to a "grizzly bear". However by The Tyrant's Tomb, Frank's natural weight caught up with this "magical growth spurt", resulting in him becoming a living example of this trope: girthy but muscular, with the warrior's rough handsomeness AND the cute chubby baby cheeks. | |

The Lord of the Rings: Samwise Gamgee has a stout build and catches the eye of the pretty serving wench Rosie. 'Beautiful' may be stretching it a bit for the fat Dwarf Bombur. While not explicitly canon, it is mentioned that he is quite popular with the ladies which has resulted in up to twelve children. |

Gravity Falls: When Mabel ranks the local males' dateability on a scale from 1 to 5, Soos somehow scores a 12. It probably helps that he's such a nice guy. There's also the eponymous cherub/cupid from "The Love God", who moonlights as a rock star and is popular enough to pull off A Lady on Each Arm. |
