12 Hot Brunettes From the Entertainment World

We’ve already written about the hottest redheads so it’s only fair we share some words about some of the world’s hot brunettes. Brown hair isn’t as rare as red hair but it still doesn’t make up a large part of the population, with only 11% of people born with brunette hair. Although a small number, it is still the second most common hair color in the world. That’s why you see more famous people who are brunettes showcasing their talents in the entertainment world. It also means there is a large portion of hot brunettes to choose from.

Whether they are actors, musicians, or sports stars, the entertainers and celebrities on this list all have three things in common. They are brunettes, they are very attractive, and they are extremely good at what they do. So read on and discover more about these 12 hot brunettes from the entertainment world.

1. Gal Gadot

The Israeli model and actress is best known for playing Wonder Woman in the big-screen adaptation. Crowned Miss Israel in 2004 at the age of 18, the sexy brunette then enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces and did her mandatory two years of service. Once complete, Gadot began modeling before getting her biggest break after being cast as Gisele Yashar in Fast & Furious. She went on to appear in three more Fast and Furious films before being cast in the huge hit Wonder Woman.

The mother of three is one hot brunette who could be considered a MILF. As well as acting, modeling, and being a mom, Gadot is also a black belt in both karate and krav maga. Her lush brown hair and model looks have seen her top many lists, including being chosen as the ‘Sexiest Actress Alive‘ by Glamour magazine.

2. Henry Cavil

Here is another brunette who has played a superhero. Henry Cavil first shot to fame in the period drama series The Tudorsplaying Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk. This led to arguably Cavil’s biggest role as Superman in Zach Synder’s Man of Steel. While the movie received mixed reviews, it thrust Cavil into the spotlight.

He would reprise the role of Superman in another two films while also starring in Guy Ritchie’s action flick The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and the sixth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise. His latest success has been playing Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher adaptation.

A known lover of video games, tabletop board games, and dogs, Cavil is a big old sexy nerd.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Camilla Belle got her start in the entertainment business by starring in commercials as a child. The American actress appeared in A Little Princess, her debut role, in 1995. She worked sporadically throughout the late 90s before taking a short break from acting. Since then she has worked consistently over the past two decades without starring in any blockbusters.

As well as acting, Belle has tried her hand at producing and directing. The beautiful brunette is somewhat of an understated fashion icon, often showing up at fashion shows and appearing on the covers of fashion magazines. Belle also had a short-lived romance with Joe Jonas.

4. Timothee Chalamet

French-speaking up and comer Timothee Chalamet is the future of acting. Described as a sex symbol and one of our generation’s greater actors, Chalamet has an alluring androgynous appeal. Born and raised in New York, the actor holds both an American and French passport and got his start appearing in several commercials as a child.

Bit parts in TV shows and movies followed before he announced himself in Call Me by Your Name. The romantic coming of age story was a surprise hit and helped establish Chalamet’s acting credentials. Parts in Lady Bird, The Kingand The French Dispatch followed, with his biggest role coming in Dune.

5. Olivia Wilde

When it comes to hot brunettes, look no further than Olivia Wilde. Although she often changes her hair color, the natural brunette always looks good with brown hair. The current partner of singer Harry Styles is an actor, producer, and director. She started off in the movie industry primarily acting, gaining a reputation after appearing in the likes of Alpha Dog, Tron: Legacyand The Lazarus Effect. Since the success of her directing debut with the cult hit BooksmartWilde has focused more on that aspect of the entertainment world.

6. Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the most successful actors of the past 20 years. Born in the United States, he often appears on lists of the ‘Sexiest Men Alive,’ Gyllenhaal’s first major starring role was in Richard Kelly’s trippy indie Donnie Darko. Since then the brunette lad has had a varied career, often choosing interesting roles. He’s played a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountainan obsessed political cartoonist in Zodiaca policeman in End of Watchan astronaut in Lifeand a supervillain in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Gyllenhaal continues to be one of Hollywood’s most exciting actors who always delivers extraordinary performances, even if the film he is in isn’t that great.

7. Megan Fox

Megan Fox is an absolute stunner. The woman who is a former dancer and model with dark hair has carved out an interesting movie career. While films such as Transformers and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles flicks established her profile, Fox more often than not stars in duds, including Rogue and Big Gold Brick.

Whatever acting career she has is currently being overshadowed by her strange relationship with rapper turned punk rocker Machine Gun Kelly. For some reason, the duo enjoys letting the media know every intimate detail of their courtship. This includes the fact that the two drink each other’s blood and once cut holes in an expensive dress Fox was wearing so they could have sex. It’s pretty cringe-worthy. Hopefully, Fox will start concentrating on her career again before she falls off.

8. Tom Holland

The latest (and greatest in my opinion) Spider-Man is played by British gent Tom Holland. But before the brunette lad got cast as the famous superhero, he was part of the highly successful Billy Elliot: The Musical theater production. Holland transitioned to movies in 2010 with small roles in several films before being cast as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the latest reboot of the franchise.

Since then Holland hasn’t looked back. He’s appeared in seven Marvel films as Spidey, the video game adaptation of Unchartedand the underrated exploration flick The Lost City of Z. He’s also dating Zendaya, which is the biggest win of his career thus far.

9. Adriana Lima

Brazilian model Adriana Lima is easily one of the most attractive women in the world. The hot brunette worked as a Victoria’s Secret Angel from 1999 to 2018. This is the longest stretch by any model representing the company. Lima has also worked for several big brands and has been a spokesmodel for Maybelline since 2003. The mother of three continues to model and work as a brand ambassador for a variety of companies around the globe and seems to be getting more attractive with age.

10. Jamie Dornan

What you recognize Jamie Dornan from depends on the type of media you consume. Crime loves will know him from his role as the serial killer in the hit British series The Fall. Horny women will remember his turn as Christian Grey in the 50 Shades franchise. For everyone else, he’s probably just that hot brunette with the Irish twang.

Whatever you know Dornan from, he has quickly become one of Hollywood’s more unconventional leading men. While he is attractive, he often plays somber, disturbed characters, adding to his mystic. The former model is forging an intriguing film career that looks like only going from strength to strength.

11. Keira Knightly

Famous brunette Keira Knightley is one of Britain’s great actors of the past two decades. Born in the United Kingdom, Knightly has a diverse career in film that really kicked off when she was cast in the soccer drama Bend It Like Beckham.

As well as her acting, Knightly is well known for her philanthropic work. She supports a variety of charities and has been outspoken when it comes to feminism and women’s rights in the film industry.

12. Robert Pattinson

The new Batman is another brunette actor on this list who is always picking interesting roles. While he might have started off playing a wizard in Harry Potter and the Golden Goblet of Fire and a vampire in the Twilight saga, Pattinson is now a serious actor. You can always rely on him to take on riveting roles. Films such as The Lighthouse, Tenet, Good Timeand Rover demonstrate his acting chops.

In 2020 he was named ‘The Most Handsome Men in the World’ based on the Golden Ratio of Beauty Pi. Along with being super attractive, Pattinson is a rather private person who is known to enjoy making music and supporting various charities and important causes.
