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.
Yup! LOL. Anthony Head, Nicholas Brendan, David Boreanze and ........yummy James Marsters!!!!!
Miss that show. Sigh.
Actually I don't thing he does, he just has that different type of bone structure.
He'going to be in Smallville next season as the villian. That should be interesting.
Guys that would look like girls if you dressed them up are not appealing to me......
I agree with this one....
Dang girl, he IS real purdy!
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.
No doubt about it. All rugged and looking handsome. Great movie too.
How about Paul Newman looking handsome in anything. He's aged well and you can see that in "Road to Perdition", circa 2002. He is the most handsome man to ever grace the big screen, IMO.
This list is bunk. How dare they lump the great Paul Newman in with Brad Pitt, Pierce Brosnan and Johnny Depp. Give me a break. Paul Newman is in a class all his own.
I remember the naked bongo incident.
I remember him being on some talk shows and having a really good sense of humor about the whole incident. He must dance around nekkid, playing the bongo drums alot or something,lol.
Here's a picture for ya DD.
I believe he supports President Bush too.
I want Charleton Heston at the top of the list!! Aside from Paul Newman and Gregory Peck,none of them belongs to be there!
The rest are just sissy boys, not even good enough to kiss my feet!
Me too!
You are definitely a breeder! :o)
I'll post the Pissant Top 10 shortly!
Gotta love a guy with a mugshot.
I'm against the drug thing - but otherwise, I think he'd be fun to play with.
;-)
My wife adores Gregory Peck (his looks anyway)
Sean is still a studly man. Harrison has not aged well, IMO.
Only one 007 in my book!
The official Pissant list will be posted shortly!
Who is William Peterson?
Being male, I certainly don't see it either!
Cradle robber! ;o)
Not bad Dash. I'll put up the definitive top 10 for you in a bit.
