I think Sherlock hit it on the head when saying smart is the new sexy. First off, look at that name. Benedict Cumberbatch. That's a freaking beautifully awesome name, and I think Bailey Cumberbatch sounds quite fetching too. This British actor is not only super physically attractive (I mean look at those eyes and that hair) and has an adorable accent, but also an extremely talented actor and very well educated. I think we can all agree that he is brilliant in the TV series Sherlock as the title character, and recently I thoroughly enjoyed his performance in Star Trek Into Darkness as the savage Khan. I'd be pretty happy if he unleashed some of the savagery on me, if you know what I mean. I also thought he was great in Atonement, which is probably lesser known to many of you, but it's a great film and a great movie that I highly recommend and features one of my other great loves, which is....
Look at those eyes. Dang. I've been in love with Mr. McAvoy here since he was a half-goat man Mr. Tumnus in the Chronicles of Narnia. Then he went on to play in two of my favorite movies with my celebrity doppleganger Anne Hathaway in Becoming Jane and then with the aforementioned Atonement. I think acting wise he has proven himself to not only be diverse but also in it for the artistry, which definitely comes off in his magnificent performances. What's more the man loves fantasy and science fiction. I also love that he and his wife are homebodies living a frugal life, and he seems to just take joy in the simple things. I don't ever get the feeling that he's into all the fame and money, but that he truly takes joy in what he does and in bringing characters to life, which I greatly respect. I'd like to think I'd do the same even if I ever became rich or famous. I'm also super impressed with his charity and philanthropic work in Uganda. Overall, he's just one good looking, talented, great guy.
Oh my gosh, Zachary Quinto is just a god. I'm so sad that he's gay and we'll never make babies. You know he's a good actor when you're still rooting for Sylar despite his tendency to cut open people's heads and all that jazz. I think Quinto is so just good at getting into the mindset of his characters and all the intricacies that entails, which I admire. I also love that he switches over from film to theatre. I could go on and on about how much talent that really takes and how people who start in film tend to be lazier than theatre actors, but I won't. Plain and simple, this guy can do it all from film acting to theatre to filmmaking. Plus he's a total nerd, which I just adore. I also admire his ability to be outspoken about what he believes without being obnoxious or shoving it down your throat, despite his beliefs being quite different than my own. What a guy.
Hugh Jackman can just do it all. He can sing, he can dance, he can do action, historical, drama, the works. I'm a sucker for any actor who is a triple thread, and Jackman has proven himself time and time again and looks good doing it. He's also been with his wife for ages, and it's refreshing to see sexy but still committed-to-marriage-and-family actors. My favorite story about Hugh Jackman was when he was performing in A Steady Rain on Broadway when a phone in the audience went off, and he broke for a second to say 'Hey, can you turn that off?.' When it went off a second time, he turned and said, 'No seriously, turn it off.' You tell them Jackman. People these days. No respect for the arts.
While I am not impressed with Bale's temper, I still can't help being attracted to him because again, he's one of those guys that really can do it all. I also think his commitment to his roles is really quite brilliant. I appreciate his work greatly. You never see one of his movies and say, "Oh Christian Bale was so bad in that." Nope, he always delivers. He's an artist. Plus he's just super good looking.
Rupert Grint is just adorable and hilarious! He is such a character, and I really think he is super cute. He's got a great smile, and I get happy whenever I see him whether it's in a movie or in a picture with the Olympic Torch. I think he's hilarious in everything he's in and seriously got promising talent. I worry he's been type cast a little bit due to Harry Potter, but I think he's good enough that he'll break out of it. He's down to earth, has great taste in music, and earns bonus points for his lovely red hair.
What woman doesn't love Ian Somerhalder? Funny. Confident. Drop dead gorgeous. He's a babe and again extremely talented. He makes interesting decisions with his character choices and creates three-dimensional characters. And I'm a sucker for his animal-loving, save the earth ways. I'm not a crazy environmentalist, but I do think we ought to take care of this beautiful earth we've been given and all creatures in it thus I love his respect and efforts for our Earth. Plus his philanthropy doesn't just start and end with the environment but has also been a part of humanitarian work with the youth and women.
I've loved him ever since watching him in Titanic as a five year old and that love has just grown ever since. He's brilliant in everything he does from What's Eat Gilbert Grape? to him most recently dazzling me in The Great Gatsby. Leo seriously was a great Gatsby. Plus the man is building an eco-friendly resort for crying out loud. I'm really hoping he wins his Academy Award soon.
I bet you're thinking wait, this guy vaguely looks like an action star. Matt Damon is definitely no one-trick pony though. He too can do it all, and I seriously love the Bourne trilogy. Jason Bourne in and of himself is a deep and challenging role for any actor. Damon can act, write, produce, and is highly involved in charity work. If you haven't guessed by now, I love people that believe in giving back, and this guy certainly does. He's also completely adorable and such a family man. His wife is one lucky lady.
