Same goes with faces, but this is much better known in the fashion industry: pretty faces are boring. You need a bit of an edge, something to stand out, maybe a bit of a nose, maybe lips that protrude a bit too much, *some* deviation from the "perfect" is usually what makes a face go from "yawn pretty" to "ooo "
Same with the Portuguese proverb "fat is beauty" (it rhymes in Portuguese). Fat in this sense means body fat, not being fat (different words in Portuguese).
It basically means the same as in your Norwegian example.
Danish and Norwegian is very similair. Well Bokmål atleast. Ny Norsk is a whole other story though haha. I for some reason have an easier time understanding Norwegian than Swedish. Well if u count out the Terra Scanian dialect. We have a saying in Denmark that; "Norsk skrives på samme måde som Dansk. Men med stavefejl."
