We love how beautiful the actors, actresses, singers, YouTube personalities, and even the damn Kardashians and Justin Bieber, look on our screens, and thanks to the paparazzi, we know how they look in real life (*cough* not as good *cough*), but have you ever wondered the same thing about the Beauty Queens?
Thank you!

The speaker coughs before the phrase as if to say " I mean, they don't look as good". The cough indicates that the speaker is saying this under his breath and not openly.

It's a sarcastic comment that indicates that we all know they don't look as good in real life but we don't say so openly.
