Is it normal that i don't see how my crush can have mediocre looking parent?

My crush is so beautiful, I find it hard to understand how he could have mere mortal parents, let alone, the mediocre looking ones that he has. He also has a very attractive brother. Were they just amazing at making sons? Or perhaps they were attractive when they were young. It's just confusing to me, for some reason.

    genetic recombination

    but a lot of typically average people produce strikingly beautiful children.

    and a lot of strikingly attractive people produce strange narrow eyed creatures.

    also, are you comparing your lover's looks to his parent's current looks, or what they looked like when they were his age. because people's bodies continue to change and age and can let themselves go. his parent(s) could very well have been quite attractive young people.

    These two men are father and son, pictured at roughly the same age:

        His mother isn't famous but I do know what she looks like. She's kind of striking so it's obvious where Jamie got his looks from. This is his cousin (on his mother's side):
