How do movies ask for “ugly” actors?

Question

Or things seen as “negative” otherwise, like specific disabilities (eg. achondroplasia)

I see a lot of ways it could sound offensive. How do they ask for them to audition? Surely they don’t put it bluntly like “need blonde, ugly man.”

I remember seeing an actress in a late night show talking about how the director didn’t want to cast her cause he thought she was too pretty for the role then in the audition he saw her and went “oh okay you’re good”
