Hollywood is usually regarded as a place where attractive people work. Some of the world's most stunning ladies have dazzled us with their radiant smiles and flawless skin on the big screen. Strict dietary regimens and routine beauty treatments are common ways they keep up their excellent looks.
Hollywood's male stars, on the other hand, put in almost as much effort to keep their image as hotties intact. As a result, their chiseled abs and alluring smiles have made their way into the fantasies of many an adoring fan. Although everyone has a unique take on what constitutes beauty, we bet you can all agree that the following 40 celebrities are some of the most handsome guys of all time.
James Dean
In the 1950s, James Dean was widely regarded as an embodiment of the counterculture movement. Unfortunately, the actor passed away in a car accident at the young age of 24, essentially putting an end to one of the most promising cinematic careers in the history of the industry.
He only appeared in three movies, but he managed to leave a legacy that impacted a great number of actors, artists, and musicians, including Elvis Presley. His legacy lives on in the films Rebel Without a Cause, East Of Eden, and Giant.
Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp, who still works in the entertainment industry as an actor, singer, and producer, is another hunk we have loved all our lives. He has been honored with several awards, including a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award.
Depp has also been nominated for three Academy Awards and two BAFTAs. His ability to play a wide range of roles has allowed him to portray a variety of unique personas, all of which have contributed to his irresistible attractiveness.
Chris Evans
Whether you know Chris Evans from his role as Captain America or from The Nanny Diaries, there is no disputing the fact that he is one of the gorgeous men to emerge from Hollywood in the past few years.
In addition to the work he has done on the silver screen, he won our admiration for the time he spends with his dog, Dodger, and for the way he interacts with his parents. The fact that the actor feels comfortable taking off his shirt in front of the camera is just one more reason why we will never stop supporting Captain America.
Brad Pitt
One of the world's most recognizable faces belongs to producer and actor Brad Pitt. If you want to see him as a young man, we recommend digging up the 1991 movie Thelma and Louise, where he played the role of a wandering charmer with whom Geena Davis' character, Thelma, falls in love.
Though he toyed with the idea of pursuing a journalism degree, Pitt decided to seek a career in acting. Before becoming one of the richest and sexiest men in the industry, he worked as a mover and as the El Pollo Loco chicken mascot.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Although Leonardo DiCaprio's career got off to an early start, it was his performance in Titanic that earned him global heartthrob status. He went from having an adorable baby face to a ruggedly handsome one, and now, he has an Oscar to prove he’s got the talent to match his good looks.
Though he has dated prolifically, he has never gotten married and has never had children. As a result, he has no one to share his enormous wealth with other than himself. If he’s happy with this lifestyle, then more power to him!
Chris Hemsworth
The filmmakers of the Thor franchise needed to find somebody who looked like a deity to play the role of a god. Thankfully, they discovered Chris Hemsworth, and from that point on, everything went smoothly. Can you imagine anyone else playing Thor other than Chris Hemsworth?
Those handsome Hemsworth genes, in addition to a passion for acting, run in the family, as evidenced by the fact that Thor’s two brothers are also good-looking fellows who enjoy careers in the entertainment industry.
Adrien Brody
Despite our admiration for the enigmatic Adrien Brody, we will never be able to fathom the actor. He made his debut in the heart-wrenching Roman Polanski film The Pianist. For his performance in the movie, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor, which he ultimately won.
As a 29-year-old, Brody became the youngest recipient of this accolade. Adrien Brody's Oscar-winning performance elevated him from relative obscurity to one of Hollywood's most sought-after commodities at the time. His talent has only grown stronger with age.
Robert Downey Jr.
Since Robert Downey, Jr. made his acting debut at the tender age of five, it's no wonder that he's now one of Hollywood's highest-earning stars. Born to a filmmaker father and a performer mother, he had his path to celebrity mapped out for him when he was little.
He was encouraged even more by his attractive looks. After a period of critical and popular success in his early years, he went through substance misuse and legal problems before regaining box office success later in his career.
Jason Momoa
Although Jason Momoa's character in the HBO series Game of Thrones was a cruel warrior, the fact that the actor spent a significant portion of his screen time shirtless made the audience's experience of the show considerably more enjoyable.
This tall drink of Hawaiian water towers at 6 feet and 4 inches. He also plays Aquaman for DC Comics, which means he will be shirtless on our screens for the foreseeable future. Who wouldn't like to see Jason Momoa more, especially when he's shirtless?! For sure, no one would complain.
Liam Hemsworth
We all low-key wish we were blessed enough to have inherited some of the Hemsworth gene pool. Not only is Liam a delight to look at, but he is also a treat to listen to, thanks to his alluringly seductive Australian accent. He’s just a shade shorter than Jason Momoa, with a height of 6 feet 3 inches.
In the Australian soap opera Neighbors, he was known for his role as Josh Taylor. He also appeared in the children's television series The Elephant Princess as Marcus.
Zac Efron
When Zac Efron waltzed into our hearts as Troy Bolton in High School Musical, he played a high school basketball player, which was a bit odd given that he was not very tall. However, he did a great job making us believe that he was a talented baller who figuratively towered above his height.
You probably weren't paying attention to Zac's height since he kept you so enthralled with his beautiful looks and enormous muscles. As for us, we couldn't care less – we are not going to change him in any way.
Robert Pattinson
The character of Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter films helped bring this handsome English gentleman's stunning features into the public eye. After that, he became the even more mystical character, Edward Cullen, in the films based on the Twilight series. It's almost as if magic is drawn to him wherever he goes.
In 2010, Time magazine included him on their list of the 100 most influential people globally, while Forbes magazine included him on their list of the 100 most famous people in the world.
Timothée Chalamet
We apologize for the brief distraction caused by Timothée Chalamet's eyes, but we are now back on track. The actor from the movie Beautiful Boy has gorgeous curls, a smoldering gaze, and a sense of elegance that only a select few people have the great luck to pull off.
The rising star has already established himself in the entertainment industry, both on-screen and off, and we absolutely cannot wait to see what he has in store for us in the future. Timmy is an iconic and timelessly charming Hollywood heartthrob.
Bradley Cooper
The actor, who was nominated for an Academy Award, brings the same level of enthusiasm to his studies as he does to his acting career. Because of this, he was able to complete a degree at Georgetown University in 1997 and do so with honors.
It's been said that Bradley Cooper broke down in tears while reading Romeo and Juliet in the university library as part of his coursework for his English degree. Intelligent, gorgeous, and sensitive – he is everything.
Paul Newman
The phrase "hubba hubba" is the first thing that comes to mind. When it came to American handsomeness in the 1950s and 60s, Paul Newman was supreme. Because of his beautiful jawline, stunning blue eyes, and flirtatious smile, he became one of the most popular actors of the 20th century.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, which earned him an Academy Award nomination in 1968, is one of his finest works. Martin Scorsese's timeless classic The Color of Money earned him his first Academy Award nomination. Newman's illustrious acting career stretched over five decades until he decided to retire.
Gregory Peck
Between the 1940s and the 1960s, Gregory Peck was one of the most acclaimed and well-known performers in the industry. The actor's roles in The Keys of the Kingdom, Gentleman's Agreement, and Twelve O'Clock High are considered some of his most iconic.
Peck is well-known for his stunning good looks and ability to deliver outstanding performances. During the course of his career, he maintained his reputation for absolute professionalism. He is still remembered as one of the actors who has garnered the most critical praise and commercial success.
Channing Tatum
Channing Tatum is quite aware of his incredible physique, and he intends to make the most of it. We had our first glimpse of it in his performance as Tyler Gage in the film Step Up, and we got an even greater look at it in his role in Magic Mike.
Aside from that, he can make us laugh, as evidenced by the comedies he has acted in, such as 21 Jump Street and others. So, if he asked really nicely, we suppose we wouldn't mind going to dinner with him.
Chris Pine
We don't think we're the first or the last people to say this, but we absolutely cannot get enough of Chris Pine. It appears that the actor from Star Trek, who has been working for quite some time now, is aging gracefully. As he gets older, we are more confident that he is perfect in every way.
Though we tend to forget that he exists, his most recent performance in the movie Wonder Woman has put him back on the list of good-looking men!
Tom Hanks
Even though Tom Hanks does not fit the mold of the stereotypical "Hollywood handsome," he nevertheless manages to captivate the attention of people all around the world for some reason. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's been married to Rita Wilson for over three decades now.
Maybe it’s because he is capable of playing roles that are both dramatic and humorous. This fox's charm sways Hollywood and the rest of the world. He’s wholesomely handsome and a sweetie to boot.
Marlon Brando
Marlon Brando was a legendary Hollywood actor and one of the industry's most significant stars. In addition to this, he was a highly powerful activist who contributed heavily to the campaign for civil rights and several Native American initiatives.
Brando was consistently ranked as one of the highest-paid actors in the industry. His iconic performance as Vito Corleone in The Godfather will ensure that he is never forgotten. His performance, along with his pouty lips, will continue to inspire others for a good many years to come.
Henry Cavill
Even if it wasn't a particularly good movie, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice did feature a few iconic scenes. Though Cavill sure does suit the role of Superman, we’re far more into his characterization of Geralt in The Witcher.
He is best known for his roles as Charles Brandon in Showtime's The Tudors, Superman in the DC Extended Universe, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher, and Sherlock Holmes in the Netflix film Enola Holmes. All of these roles have brought him widespread acclaim.
David Beckham
David Beckham became a household name all over the world thanks to his impressive skills on the football field and his widely publicized private life. More than two decades have passed since he married Victoria, a former pop sensation who is now a high-end fashion designer.
The fact that they have four gorgeous children together makes us pleased because we know those good genes are going someplace. Of course, it also makes us a little sad because we know that no one else will have a chance with David in the near future.
Tom Hardy
Tom Hardy, who played the title character in the film Bronson, is known for his impressive physique. In order to get into character for the role, he packed on an additional 40 pounds of muscle in just a few short weeks.
There is obviously not enough Tom Hardy to go around, but we hope he finds true happiness in his life, no matter who he chooses to date. The man is as talented as he is handsome, and regardless of looks and talent, everyone deserves an abundance of happiness in their lives.
Justin Timberlake
In addition to being a performer, Justin Randall Timberlake is also a record producer and actor. He has sold more than 88 million records, making him one of the most successful musicians in the history of the entertainment industry.
If you've never picked a favorite member of N*Sync, can you even say you've lived an incredible life? Probably not. Although Justin Timberlake got his start in the Mickey Mouse Club, it wasn't until he was a member of the boy band that he became a household name.
Paul Rudd
Paul Rudd is endearing, hilarious, and maintains the same appearance he had when he played Josh in Clueless. It would appear that Paul Rudd doesn't age at all, and even if he does, he is aging beautifully like a fine wine.
Paul has been in a number of other contemporary classics, like the television show Friends and Marvel's Ant-Man, in addition to Clueless. He’s also been in plenty of comedies and independent films. We are huge fans and are happy to see him in pretty much any role.
Chris Pratt
Aside from his roles as an actor and a father, he's also a pretty attractive dude. Best known for his role in Parks and Recreation, the actor has recently begun expanding his acting career to include roles in blockbuster films. As a result, he is on track to take his place among the most attractive Hollywood actors.
And it's not just because of his beauty – he's also popular because of his personality. His demeanor is that of a person you'd run into at the neighborhood supermarket, and he's just plain adorable!
Charlie Hunnam
His performance as Jackson "Jax" Teller on the FX series Sons of Anarchy brought him widespread acclaim. The character earned him two nominations for the Critics' Choice Television Award in the Best Actor category.
Even if Sons of Anarchy isn't your favorite program on television, you have to admit, Charlie Hunnam was a standout from the series. It's clear from the look in his eyes that he is nothing like the menacing persona he played in the program. We would love to meet him in real life.
Mark Ruffalo
Among his many talents, Mark Ruffalo is best recognized for his nearly three-decade-long acting career. He has also worked as a writer, director, and environmentalist activist. The outstanding actor has been in a wide variety of films, including comedies, dramas, and mysteries; he even played the role of the Hulk in the MCU.
You can't help but fall in love with him because of his "boy-next-door" appeal, which is undoubtedly partly due to his incredible versatility. In other words, his versatility is what truly gets everyone going!
Jake Gyllenhaal
Though he was already performing on stage when he was a child, Gyllenhaal attended Columbia University and earned a degree before making a splash in Hollywood. After that, he became well-known for his performance as Homer Hickam in the film October Sky.
Jake has said that having girls as siblings during childhood allowed him to develop more empathy. This is something that his sister, the actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, would be pleased to attest to herself. What cute siblings they are!
Patrick Dempsey
Playing Dr. "McDreamy" Shepherd on the critically acclaimed television series Gray's Anatomy brought Patrick Dempsey his greatest fame. Since then, he has lived in the McDreams of many fans. Who wouldn't fall in love with him?
Bridget Jones' Baby (2016) was one of the more recent screen appearances Dempsey made. He hasn't done much acting in the past few years because he's been putting more of his attention towards his professional racing career. We wouldn't mind riding shotgun if given the opportunity.
Ashton Kutcher
Of course, Christopher Ashton Kutcher is on the list. In movies and on television, Kutcher is frequently cast in comedic roles, but he is also a mathematics prodigy in real life. Are you shocked to learn this about the guy who’s been typecast as a goofball?
His IQ is reportedly 160, and it is the driving force behind his success in both of these fields. Those who possess such a high level of intelligence find that success comes easily to them, and Ashton Kutcher is evidence of this.
John Krasinski
John Krasinski has developed into a diverse actor over the course of his career, but he is still most recognized for his portrayal of Jim Halpert in The Office. Krasinski has received numerous accolades, including four Primetime Emmy Award nominations and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.
In 2018, he was recognized by Time magazine as one of the 100 individuals who had the most significant impact on the globe. He is also married to one of the most beautiful ladies in Hollywood, Emily Blunt.
Harrison Ford
Who could have predicted that when he landed the role of Han Solo in Star Wars, he'd become a deity in the Hollywood industry? Harrison Ford is regarded as a living legend. Everyone once aspired to have his level of coolness. When the king of the silver screen walked into the room, all of the ladies became weak at the knees.
The audience let out a collective sigh when Princess Leia eventually dissolved the love tension between them by kissing Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back. It was far less awkward than the time she kissed her brother, Luke, in Return of the Jedi.
Colin Firth
Colin Firth, who is so handsome that it hurts, will always remain Mr. Darcy in our hearts. One of our all-time favorite films, Pride and Prejudice, starred the stunning English actor in one of our all-time favorite roles.
In the middle of the 1980s, he gained recognition as a member of the "Brit Pack," a group of up-and-coming British actors who performed various roles in Hollywood films. This later led to him landing lead roles in films like Love, Actually and Bridget Jones's Diary.
Patrick Swayze
When it comes to Patrick Swayze's romantic life, there have been a lot of scandals in the mix. When you look so gorgeous, it isn’t strange to end up entangled in various love affairs, so we’ll cut him some slack.
People magazine's readers chose Patrick Swayze as the sexiest man alive in 1991, just after he had wowed audiences with the film Dirty Dancing with his smooth dancing routines. While he was still alive, this man caused many people to melt in awe.
Stanley Tucci
Though you might not have noticed it at first, Stanley Tucci has been in many critically acclaimed films throughout his career. He has worked in the entertainment industry as an actor, producer, writer, and director of movies, and he was formerly a fashion model.
You read that right – our man Tucci used to be a model! Though he appears in many supporting roles, we will continue to think of him as our leading man. Tucci is also well-known for the work he has done with Meryl Streep. Do you remember him in The Devil Wears Prada?
Sean Penn
Sean Penn is a famous, well-respected, and attractive actor in the world of Hollywood. His rockstar reputation and uncanny acting abilities have earned him several high-profile assignments over the course of his career.
However, Penn's notoriety isn't based solely on the roles he's played in movies; rather, it's due to the long number of stunning A-list actresses he's dated. It doesn't matter whether the woman is one of the most desirable actresses in Hollywood – Sean Penn can draw her in with ease.
Ted Danson
In our opinion, Ted Danson exemplifies everything that a silver fox is supposed to be. Just take one glance at him, and you'll understand what we mean. As Michael in The Good Place, the former Cheers star has total authority over the cosmos. His on-screen persona is a strange mix of adorable and wicked, and he never ceases to make us laugh.
Danson has been recognized with several accolades throughout his acting career, including nominations for dozens of awards. We’d gladly enjoy a drink with this tall, handsome fellow any day of the week.
Tom Selleck
Tom Selleck's acting career is about as varied as one could get, considering that the charmer has appeared in such hugely successful shows and films as Magnum, P.I., Friends, and Three Men and a Baby.
Selleck's height and build (the man is 6 feet 4 inches) served him well in his past life as a basketball player. Amazingly, he was able to acquire a degree in business while also participating in basketball, joining a fraternity, and working as a model. What a legend!
Woody Harrelson
Woody has starred in many well-known films and television series. You probably recognize him as Haymitch Abernathy from The Hunger Games franchise. We're enthralled by his wacky features and deep blue eyes. Interestingly, Harrelson met his wife while working on Cheers way back in 1987.
As a hippy, Harrelson never expected to get married since he didn't believe in the concept of letting the legal system in on your relationship. However, that changed once Laura became a part of his life. Harrelson says it doesn’t take much to make him happy – just a lovely home and the ability to spend time with his children. What a sweetheart!
