40 Hottest Male Celebrities in the World Today
Attractive men come in all shapes and sizes. Whether they’re award-winning actors, musicians, philanthropists, sportspeople, businessmen, or activists, sexiness is more than just skin deep. This list of handsome and talented gentlemen is a round-up of the hottest male celebrities that you’ve seen on screen or in the news. From Superman and the God of Thunder to honey-tongued musicians, feminist kings, and belly-laugh-inducing comedians, the list is extensive, diverse, and ready for your reading pleasure!
1. Henry Cavill
Henry Cavill ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to being one of the hottest male celebrities. He’s tall, broad, and completely jacked; an avid gamer; a nerd; and he has an adorable dog named Kal (who’s an American Akita). While he’s had many roles onscreen, from The Tudors and Superman in the Snyderverse, his latest role is as the white-haired Witcher, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher. As a fan of both the book and the game, he campaigned hard to land the role. Beyond acting, he supports the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and is an ambassador for The Royal Marines Charity.

2. Manny Jacinto
It’s more than just a sharp jawline, perfect skin, and soft-spoken nature that makes Filipino-Canadian actor Manny Jacinto attractive. He’s also an incredibly talented and diverse actor who’s campaigning for better Asian representation in Hollywood, especially in leading roles. His resume started with small roles before being cast as the loveable but hilariously unaware Jason Mendoza in Netflix’s The Good Place, which quickly shot him to fame. Other roles since then include playing Yao in the television adaptation of Nine Perfect Strangers, Code in Brand New Cherry Flavor, and a pilot named Fritz in the new Top Gun: Maverick film.

3. Chris Hemsworth
If Loki, the God of Mischief, is one of the hottest male celebrities, then surely too is his brother Thor, the God of Thunder. As such, Australian actor and all-around heart-throb Chris Hemsworth joins Tom Hiddleston on the list. In addition to the MCU, Chris has starred in a collection of other action-packed films. These include Extraction, Men in Black: International, 12 Strong, and Blackhat. He’s also shown off his comedic side in roles such as Ghostbusters and Vacation. As an incredible physical example of the human species, he also took part in a Disney documentary called Limitless. He joins fellow fit-folk like Ross Edgley and various scientists to test how far the human body can go to increase the longevity of human life.

4. Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds is universally acknowledged as the guy that every man has a crush on. It’s no wonder, though, he’s fit, handsome, tall, and exceptionally funny – all of which the ladies also like. His roles in action comedies like Deadpool, Free Guy, and Red Notice really showcase all of his talents. However, the comedy extends beyond the screen. He’s known for constantly trolling and joking with his wife, Blake Lively; the friendly, long-running “feud” he has with Aussie star Hugh Jackman; and his crush on Betty White. Plus, he’s able to make fun of himself, as evidenced by the shredding of his own film Green Lantern. Beyond acting, he also owns a production company, an ownership stake in Mint Mobile, Welsh football club Wrexham AFC, and is still involved in the Aviation Gin company.

5. Michael B Jordan
Being named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man alive in 2020 makes it no surprise that Michael B Jordan is one of the hottest male celebrities. As both an actor and producer, he has a long filmography. His notable roles over the years include Vince Howard in Friday Night Lights, Oscar Grant in Fruitvale Station, and Adonis Johnson in Creed. However, one of his biggest roles was Erik Killmonger in the MCU’s Black Panther, where he faced off against Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa. He was nominated for more than a dozen awards for this role, including winning Best Villain at the MTV Movie & TV Awards.

6. Tom Hiddleston
Playing the God of Mischief, Loki, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has earned Tom Hiddleston a plethora of fans.

He’s also a talented stage actor and makes excellent impressions of other celebrities, including Owen Wilson, Christopher Walken, and Chris Hemsworth. Finally, in addition to acting, Tom identifies as a feminist and is a UNICEF Ambassador, raising awareness about hunger in Guinea and the ongoing war in South Sudan.

7. Henry Golding
While he’d dabbled in acting before, British-Malaysian actor and model Henry Golding became an overnight sensation in Crazy Rich Asians.

10. Cole Hauser
Fans of Taylor Sheridan’s modern Western series, Yellowstone, will recognize Cole Hauser as the rugged and wild Rip Wheeler. It’s no wonder, then, portraying this complex and layered character that he’s one of the hottest male celebrities. In interviews, Taylor has said that Cole is the man he wanted for that role when writing the series, as he knew he could bring an extra intensity to the character. However, this much darker, brawnier Cole looks very different from his previous roles. These include Dazed and Confused, Good Will Hunting, Jerry Bruckheimer’s Chase, and 2 Fast 2 Furious.
“alignnone size-full wp-image-297898″ alt=”Cole Hauser” width=”800″ height=”450″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661133051_169_40-Hottest-Male-Celebrities-in-the-World-Today.jpg”/>

12. Timothee Chalamet
With a jawline and cheekbones that could cut glass, it’s no wonder Timothee Chalamet is one of the hottest male celebrities. Despite being relatively young, he has appeared in a wide range of movies and television shows across multiple genres. Some of these include Lady Bird, Little Women, Beautiful Boy, Homeland, Dune, Don’t Look Up, and Call Me By Your Name, for which he received an Oscar nomination. Much of his appeal also comes from his confidence and ability to embrace the divide between masculinity and femininity. He’s widely considered a fashion icon and is an ambassador for Cartier. Plus, in collaboration with Haider Ackermann, he’s just designed a hoodie with proceeds from sales going to Afghanistan Libre, a non-profit organization that safeguards women’s and children’s rights in Afghanistan.

As 2021’s People’s Sexiest Man alive it only makes sense that Paul Rudd is one of the hottest male celebrities. He’s an ageless unicorn with an affable grin and gorgeous green eyes. However, his reputation as a kind, humble, self-deprecating all-around nice guy cements that he’s just as good on the inside as he’s handsome on the outside. With an extensive resume, Paul has been active in the entertainment industry for 30 years. His credits include Clueless, MCU’s Ant-Man, Parks and Recreation, Wet Hot American Summer, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, and The Shrink Next Door. In addition to acting, he co-owns Samuel’s Sweet Shop in New York with Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Plus, he founded the Big Slick charity to raise money for the Kansas City’s Children’s Mercy Hospital.

32. Jacob Elordi
Jacob Elordi rose to fame as a teen heartthrob thanks to his role as Noah Flynn in Netflix’s The Kissing Booth. He also reprised the role in both sequels. Originally from Brisbane, Australia, he had his start in theatre acting. Beyond the bubble-gum-sweet vibes of The Kissing Booth, he proved his acting ability in darker films and television shows, including The Mortuary Collection, Euphoria, and Deep Water. While undeniably attractive, standing at six feet five tall with broad shoulders and boyish charm, he confessed he’s uncomfortable with the focus placed on his appearance and physique. In addition to acting, Jacob is a talented photographer with a preference for vintage cameras.

33. Keanu Reeves
If you’ve been dubbed “the internet’s boyfriend,” then you must be one of the hottest male celebrities. Such is the case with Hollywood nice guy Keanu Reeves. He’s been acting since the 1980s and is best known for classic works such as Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventures, The Matrix movies, Speed, Point Break, and the John Wick series. However, what really earns him adoration is his reputation as an easy-going, generous, and down-to-earth person. It’s small acts of kindness and humility off-screen that have cemented this reputation. Giving up his seat on the subway, waiting in line like a regular person, and donating most of his Matrix earnings to fund cancer research. Plus, he’s also been incredibly ‘meme-able’ over the years. One of the most famous is “sad Keanu,” where paparazzi snapped him looking morose while eating a sandwich in a park.

34. Dev Patel
British actor Dev Patel grew up in the spotlight. His first role was as Anwar on the series Skins at just 17 years old. Then, he landed his breakout role in Slumdog Millionaire, earning him widespread accolades. Despite the fame, he remains a friendly and humble gent, with a reputation as being very likable. He also brings elegance and poise to his roles, with a touch of goofiness thrown in. Deeper into his career, he took on more mature roles, including Saroo Brierley in the Academy Award-nominated Lion, Hotel Mumbai, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Aside from his success and sweet personality, Dev is also incredibly attractive with luscious locks and deep, soul-searching brown eyes. Ellen DeGeneres even suggested in 2017 that viewers vote him Sexiest Man Alive!

35. Simon Baker
Dashingly handsome with surf blond hair and a charming smile, Australian actor Simon Baker fits easily into the hottest male celebrities list. Born in Tasmania but raised on the Northern New South Wales coast, he started on Australian television in shows like E-Street, Home & Away, and Heartbreak Highbefore moving to America. Now, he’s most recognizable for his roles in The Guardian, The Mentalist, and The Devil Wears Prada. Having spent most of his time in front of the camera, he made his directorial debut in 2017 with Breathe an adaptation of the Tim Winton novel, which he also acted in. His efforts were rewarded with multiple AACTA nominations and winning Best Supporting Actor.

36. Jonathan Majors
As one of the hottest male celebrities in the world, Jonathon Majors has enjoyed a meteoric rise to stardom. His short but impressive resume includes The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Da 5 Bloods, The Harder They Fall, and Lovecraft Country, for which he received an Emmy nomination. He also recently joined the MCU as villain Kang the Conqueror in the Loki series and is sure to show up throughout the Phase 4 releases, including the new Ant-Man. In addition to his natural talent, he’s cool, calm, collected, and unafraid to portray intense emotions in his characters.

37. Adam Driver
Adam Driver is an unconventional leading man. His look is far from Hollywood typical, his cadence is unique, and he has a level of intensity that draws you in. As such, he’s perfectly suited to a broad range of characters and genres, from a Star Wars villain to Lena Dunham’s on-screen boyfriend in Girls. Other credits include The Dead Don’t Die, BlacKkKlansman, Marriage Story, The Last Duel, and House of Gucci alongside Lady Gaga. He also received nominations for the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, and Screen Actors Guild awards. Plus, in 2019, he won a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his theatre performance of Burn This. Finally, as a former marine, he founded Arts in the Armed Forces (AITAF). It’s a non-profit that performs theatre for troops as a morale booster.

38. Jake Gyllenhaal
Despite the hate from Swifties, Jake Gyllenhaal is still one of the hottest male celebrities. With luscious hair, a dimpled smile, and the ability to put a shirt on while hand standing, he’s incredibly good-looking. Plus, he’s a great actor – which makes sense given his screen debut was at the tender age of 11. The most famous credits on his resume include cult-favorite Donnie Darko, ground-breaking Brokeback Mountain, psychological thriller Nightcrawler, and the MCU’s Spider-Man: Far from Home.

39. Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa was raised wild and free. He maintains this philosophy throughout his life, raising his own family the same way. As such, he’s the perfect combination of outdoorsy brawn, creativity, and spirited cheekiness. While many will know him as the Dothraki warlord, Khal Drogo, from Game of Thrones, or underwater king Aquaman from the Snyderverse, his screen debut was on Baywatch: Hawaii. He’s easily recognizable thanks to his muscular build, long sun-bleached locks, and scarred eyebrow. It’s no wonder he’s one of the hottest male celebrities. However, despite his traditionally masculine appearance, much of his appeal comes from elsewhere. It’s his ability to embrace feminine styling and show deep respect and adoration for the women in his life that’s even more attractive.

40. Mahershala Ali
Mahershala Ali is a multi-award-winning actor and rapper. His accolades include two Academy Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe, and an Emmy. He began acting in 2001, and in the last 20 years, has notched up over 50 roles. These include the breakthrough TV show The 4400, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 and 2, House of Cards, Luke Cage, Green Book, and Moonlight, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. This was a revolutionary moment for him, being the first Muslim to receive one, and the first black actor to win it twice in the same category when he won again in 2019 for Green Book. It was recognition of his talent and hard work and that he is so much more than a supporting actor.
