With his role as Achilles - 'the handsomest man in Greece' - Brad Pitt has confirmed his position as one of the handsomest men ever to grace the silver screen.
Not only has his starring role in Troy transported Pitt into the superleague of Hollywood earners, but this epic showcasing of his legendary looks has driven him up to an impressive 5th position on the list of the most handsome men in Hollywood history.
Here is the list in full. Under each star is the film in which he was at his most handsome...
THE TOP TEN MOST HANDSOME MEN IN SCREEN HISTORY
1. Anthony Perkins
Best in: Fear Strikes Out (1956)
Almost too handsome to look at, Perkins is how the devil would look if he took human form. Suave beyond measure, Perkins could carry off knitwear better than anyone.
2. Gergory Peck
Best in: Roman Holiday (1953)
Quite extraordinarily good looking: tall and noble as a mighty oak, dark as night but strangely comforting. As god-like as Perkins is devilish.
3. Pierce Brosnan
Best in: The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)
The half-smiles, the naughty eyes: he looks like he’s been chiselled out of sex. Brosan is as handsome as David Niven should have been.
4. Cary Grant
Best in: The Philadelphia Story (1940)
With Grant, it’s all about poise. So at ease with his extraordinary looks that he can even make you forget how handsome he is (most famously in Bringing Up Baby).
5. Brad Pitt
Best in: Troy (2004)
Perfect torso, perfect face and perfect hair meet in an explosion of beauty. No longer can anyone argue that his arms are too thin for him to be regarded as truly handsome.
6. Richard Barthelmess
Best in: The Patent Leather Kid (1927)
Broody, but clean cut. His eyes were infinite pools of longing. No one before or since could take a zoom like Barthelmess.
7. Johnny Depp
Best in: The Ninth Gate (1999)
The best hair since Peck. Mercilessly well-defined, Depp’s features are so sharp they could cut the screen.
8. Paul Newman
Best in: Cool Hand Luke (1967)
Adonis on the chain gang. Does with filthy, torn denim what Brosnan can do with a $10,000 suit.
9. Ronald Colman
Best in: Raffles (1930)
The gentleman hero with the best moustache in Hollywood and a devastating, come-to-bed chin. The Mills & Boon anti-hero par excellence.
10. Roger Moore
Best in: Live and Let Die (1973)
Steely but debonair. A truly magnificent forehead.
When you're younger, you can't see how you could change a diaper. Now, I change so many diapers in a day that I could change one with one hand, eat a sandwich with the other, and not even be bothered enough to notice.
Did you read the thing about the public disturbance complaint...something about him bein' nekkid and playin' bongos?
Geez, for the first time ever in my life, I wanted to be a police officer.
Don't ask me why I know that!
;-)
It makes me appreciate people with clothes on!
No - I've heard nothing of the naked bongo incident.
I'm sure I've seen him in films with his shirt off, but I just didn't notice his back.
You must be more observant...grasshopper!
;-)
If I remember correctly - it was shoulder hair that I saw that really bothered me. Like wheat growing off his deltoids. Yick.
I remember the naked bongo incident.
Men ... hair ... you just have to live with it. And vacuum it up.
I really need to buy a new mouse... mine's moving all over the place...
I really don't think those pink lines are that good looking, but to each his own, I suppose.
One of the many reasons I married a Southern boy . . .
I also am partial to Mr. Vince Vaughn . . .
Shall I post a picture of you, Mr. Cruise????????
LOL!
The only movie I didn't like him in (really can't say I saw them all) was Kalifornia which I watched the other night.
Oh, well. Life would be dull (and lines would be long) if we all agreed.
OMG - Thanks!!!!
