15 Of The Most Perfect Men In Hollywood
Okay, we know - there's not really a shortage of gorgeous men in Hollywood. While there are a few legendary Hollywood icons who have succeeded based on their talent rather than their looks, the majority of today's stars are both talented and insanely gorgeous. Six packs? Only kind of optional. Absolutely devastatingly handsome when all cleaned up on the red carpet for an awards show? Always.
Now, there are sexy male celebrities, and then there are perfect male celebrities. Look, we get that nobody is truly perfect. However, the men on this list pretty much have it all: not only are they gorgeous, they also have incredible physiques, many of them are absolutely devoted husbands who look at their wives in a way that makes everyone else melt, they're funny, they're silly, some of them are incredible fathers and sons, and they're basically just anyone's dream guy.
Here are 15 of the most perfect male celebrities. Dear Hollywood: please find a way to make more men like this. The entire female population would be very appreciative.
15 Chris Hemsworth
Why is Chris Hemsworth perfect? Well, it would be easy to just say because of his role as Thor in the Marvel universe, but it's more than that. Although yes, he's fantastic as the long-haired Viking with his crazy costume and hammer. He loves his wife, actress and model Elsa Pataky, and the two have three children together. While he was just starting out, Hemsworth was in Hollywood hustling to get roles, but now that he's attained a certain level of stardom he's been able to move back to his home country, Australia, where he can spend time with his kids on the beach and sculpt that physique in the Aussie sun until Los Angeles calls for another movie.
14 David Beckham
Let's face it - professional athletes seem to have a lot of difficulty with monogamy. Quite simply, they're travelling a lot for away games, they're constantly surrounded by female fans showering them with attention, and they spend games surrounded by cheering audiences shouting their name. That's enough to boost anyone's ego. David Beckham, however, has been married to the gorgeous Victoria Beckham since 1999 - that's 17 years! The two have a brood of four adorable children and still look totally in love when they step out together. That's a man who knows how to take care of his woman - and that's sexy. Plus, despite having retired from soccer, he still rocks a pretty incredible physique - he's a great dad, but no dad bod in sight on Becks.
13 Channing Tatum
Miss Jenna Dewan-Tatum, you are one lucky lady, that's all we're going to say. Channing Tatum had a few small parts in movies before finally snagging a leading role, as the boy from the bad side of the tracks, Tyler Gage, in Step Up (the movie where he met his wife). Since then, he's snagged roles in a diverse variety of films, from romantic comedies like The Vow to straight out comedies like 21 Jump Street to action flicks like White House Down. I mean, there's pretty much no genre he can't do. And, if you doubt his perfection, just sit yourself down and watch Magic Mike or Magic Mike XXL. Case closed.
12 Joe Manganiello
Joe Manganiello wasn't one of the Hollywood stars who burst onto the A-List before his 20th birthday, like many of the young starlets today. He put in his time and went to audition after audition before finally scoring the role of the werewolf Alcide Herveaux in HBO's True Blood. Sure, he had snagged several recurring roles in television shows before then, but let's face it - seeing him totally ripped as the sexy werewolf basically made every woman on earth fall in love with him. Then, he cemented his dreamboat status by starring in the Magic Mike movies. Oh, and based on his red carpet behavior and comments in interviews, he's an adorably monogamous man who loves his new wife Sofia Vergara. I mean, he's obviously perfect.
11 Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman is almost 50 years old. We're just going to go ahead and let that sink in for a moment. While he got his start acting in his native Australia, once he was cast as Wolverine in the X-Men film series, the rest was history. Everyone in Hollywood knew his name, and he had absolutely no trouble getting gigs in various genres. Oh, and did we mention, not only is he gorgeous with the body of a much younger man, he can also sing. Like, really sing - he has a Tony Award and has hosted the Tony Awards four times. Unfortunately, he's been happily married to his wife, fellow Aussie actress Deborra-Lee Furness, for twenty years. Lucky lady!
10 Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Gordon-Levitt got his start as a child actor, eventually snagging a steady role as Tommy Solomon in the television series 3rd Rock from the Sun. He then took a bit of a break to attend university, but thankfully, he decided to return to Hollywood after a few years. And he was no longer the awkward, floppy-haired teen - he was a suave, sexy, grown man. He's starred in everything from 500 Days of Summer to The Dark Knight Rises, and even made his feature film directing and screenwriting debut with Don Jon in 2013. He sings, he acts, he directs, he produces… he's a man of many talents, and he's definitely stolen a lot of hearts.
9 Chris Pratt
Okay, let's get one thing straight - Chris Pratt is basically every woman's dream guy. He's totally goofy and will make you laugh all the time. He definitely won't judge you for eating those fries, because when he's not training for a movie role he rocks the dad bod instead of a six pack - however, when duty calls, he has the discipline to sculpt his physique to a drool-worthy point. He obviously totally adores his family, and is one half of one of Hollywood's cutest red carpet couples (I mean, when he and Anna Faris step out together, it's guaranteed to be adorable). There's nothing about this man that we don't love. Someone please give him another television show so we can see him on a weekly basis rather than in occasional movies.
8 Bradley Cooper
For many actors, it takes a challenging, serious, dramatic role to take you to the A-List. In Bradley Cooper's case, however, his breakthrough role was the raucous comedy The Hangover. His comedic chops and good looks caught the attention of all the casting agents in Hollywood, and he was soon earning prime leading roles in films like Limitless, Guardians of the Galaxy, American Hustle and of course, The Silver Linings Playbook. Oh, and he speaks French fluently - tres sexy. Cooper has definitely played the field in Hollywood, dating a series of gorgeous actresses and models, and it's not hard to see why so many women want to date him. Who wouldn't?
7 Shemar Moore
Soap opera fans will know Shemar Moore from his role on The Young and the Restless, where he played the character of Malcolm Winters for nearly a decade. Then, rather than staying in the soap world like many tend to, he moved into primetime with a role on Criminal Minds, where he also has been playing the same character for over ten years. It seems like he's a man most producers want to keep hold of - and it's easy to see why. He's handsome, he's charming, he's funny, and he's a real mama's boy. Quiet ladies might not love his notorious party-loving personality, but if you're a lady who walks on the wild side, Shemar Moore might be the perfect man for you.
6 Ryan Gosling
A totally precious young Ryan Gosling got his start in the entertainment industry as one of the stars on Disney's Mickey Mouse Club, the show that produced celebs like Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Christina Aguilera. Then, the Canadian cutie kept things family friendly on shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Breaker High. He slowly began transitioning to film roles and then he got his big break in The Notebook as Noah, ensuring that every woman everywhere would forever be a little bit in love with Ryan Gosling, because… Noah. He's since proved his acting chops in dramas like Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the Pines. He's a great singer and is the frontman for a band called Dead Man's Bones. Oh, and he's a huge animal lover and does an admirable amount of humanitarian work. Stop it, Ryan Gosling. We already love you enough.
5 Ryan Reynolds
Ah, Ryan Reynolds - one of Canada's greatest, dreamiest exports. Reynolds grew up in British Columbia, and got his start in a Canadian teen soap called Hillside. Then, he got a few film roles in movies like Van Wilder and Just Friends. Finally, Hollywood began to truly take notice of the Canadian babe and he became a true A-Lister. If you were wondering whether his good looks were enough to attract gorgeous women, just take a look at his dating roster - he's been either engaged or married to Canadian superstar musician Alanis Morissette, mega-babe Scarlett Johansson, and is currently married to blonde bombshell Blake Lively.
4 George Clooney
In the worlds of Miss Carrie Bradshaw, “George Clooney is like a Chanel suit. He'll always be in style.” Everyone fell in love with Mr. Clooney when he was gracing the small screen in ER, and he's since gone on to star in countless films, and as the years go by, he just seems to get more attractive, more suave, and more confident. He earned a reputation as the ultimate bachelor, but he was also the ultimate gentleman. When he finally decided to settle down, he didn't pick a blonde bimbo thirty years younger - he decided to tie the knot with human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, who, while gorgeous, is an absolute powerhouse of a career woman.
3 Taye Diggs
There's just something about a man who can sing, and Taye Diggs can definitely, definitely sing. He's basically bounced between the stage and the screen his entire career, and he became truly popular with a wide audience when he snagged a role opposite Kate Walsh on Private Practice. And, if you ever doubted how charming his personality was, just take a look at some of the Vine videos he releases starring things like his funny walks. He's as hilarious as he is talented.
2 Patrick Dempsey
No list of the most perfect male celebrities would be complete without McDreamy himself. Dempsey broke into Hollywood in his early 20s with roles in movies like Can't Buy Me Love and Loverboy. Then, curiously, he didn't really take off in popularity, starring in small, relatively unremarkable roles. And then came Grey's Anatomy. When Shonda Rhimes cast Dempsey as the neurosurgeon Dr. Derek Shepherd on the sexy medical drama, the entire world found themselves shouting “pick me!” right alongside Meredith. When he's not starring in one of the biggest television hits of the past decade, Dempsey is a huge car fan who has a sports and vintage car collection and races cars. Oh, and there was that story about the time when he rescued a teenager from a car crash. I mean, he's just the ultimate nice guy.
1 Taylor Kinney
It takes a very strong, independent, and confident man to stand by the side of someone as outrageous as Lady Gaga. I mean, she's an icon. However, Taylor Kinney has proved that he's totally up to the job, and is frequently spotted by his lady's side, whether that be on the red carpet or shirtless preparing to take a polar plunge. He's an actor, starring in shows like The Vampire Diaries and Chicago Fire, and he just seems like an all-around great guy. Plus, I mean, that body is insane. And the man got Gaga a heart-shaped diamond engagement ring, which is so Gaga.
