Robert Pattinson is the most handsome man in the world

8. Idris Elba - 88.01 per cent

Idris Elba was only just beaten by David Beckham and has a near-perfect chin, according to Dr Julian. Dr Julian De Silva said: 'Idris has a near-perfect chin and was just beaten by Becks in second place in that category, and he also scored highly for his eye spacing which was also second overall. 'He was marked down for nose and lip size ratio.'

9. Kanye West - 87.94 per cent

Kanye West scored highly for his eye spacing and his chin. He was marked down for his face shape. Dr Julian De Silva said: 'Kanye scored highly for his eye spacing and his chin. He was marked down for his face shape.'

10. Ryan Gosling 87.48 per cent

Ryan Gosling was tenth in the rankings. He had the most perfectly shaped nose of all the male celebrities. Dr Julian De Silva said: 'Ryan had the most perfectly shaped nose of all the men but scored lowly for his lips.'

How is it possible that this stupid list changes every year?

Here's the list from two years ago....

Back in Ancient Greece, they came up with something called the 'Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi', which they claimed measured the potentially perfect face.

Basically, if your face managed to possess a specific set of ratios of distance and size between your eyes, forehead, nose, lips, etc., then it could be mathematically proven that you had a "perfect face".

This was the equation that Da Vinci used when he was creating his Virtruvian Man, and that guy seemed to know what he was on about, so if it was good enough for him, then it is good enough for us.

It is also good enough for Dr. Julian De Salva, who runs The Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery in London, and spoke to the Daily Mail about using computer mapping technology on some of the world's most famous faces, to scientifically figure out who was the best looking bloke in the world (providing they're famous, obviously).

Speaking of the highest scoring face, De Salva said:

"He has beautiful facial symmetry and gets closer than any other man to having what the Greeks considered the perfect face. [He] had a near perfect ratio of nose to lip dimension of 99.6 per cent and his chin and eye spacing were almost perfect as well. Across the 12 key markers he had the highest combined score."

So who was he talking about?

None other than George Clooney.

Yup, Handsome George has now got the scientifically-proven best-looking face in the world.

Congrats, buddy. It is about time good looking, rich, famous, happily married men got some recognition.

Here is the top ten guys, and their scientific score based on the Phi Ratio:

1 George Clooney 91.86%

2 Bradley Cooper 91.80%

3 Brad Pitt 90.51%

4 Harry Styles 89.63%

5 David Beckham 88.96%

6 Will Smith 88.88%

7 Idris Elba 87.93%

8 Ryan Gosling 87.48%

9 Zayn Malik 86.5%

10 Jamie Foxx 85.46%

Oh, yeah. Pattinson looks like an ugly vampire, and gotta love Bradley Cooper's chin. Get real! And does Kanye get points added or taken away for having his mouth hanging open most of the time?

Bradley Cooper is the biggest joke on that list.

He looks like a greasy RODENT!

How in hell did Wendy Williams, Sarah Jessica Parker, Glenn Close, Glenn Close and Diane Keaton not make that list?

Ugh...Pattinson looks like a dead fish.

Idris Elba "was marked down for nose and lip size ratio."

Please, someone tell me this is a piss-take.

Robert Pattinson was only hot in that one Harry Potter movie, and that was only because he stood out among a cast of fugly guys.

Is Robert Pattinson still trying to win contests like this. I seem to remember a few years back he was named one of the 21 most influential people in the world. I found it rather annoying.

[quote] Idris Elba "was marked down for nose and lip size ratio." Please, someone tell me this is a piss-take.

Not a joke.

Only because the calculations are done mathematically, based on ratios and size.

I don't think that anyone would be considered 100% perfect, by that standard.

They're not factoring in race at all, just numbers.

RP = classic tinymeat

I recall they did this in the 2000s when this sort of research was first being done, and Brad Pitt’s face had the highest percentage then but even he wasn’t at 100%.

Jacob Eldori should be on the list.

I saw THE LIGHTHOUSE last night. I hated the movie but Pattinson is not only stunningly good-looking and sexy, but absolutely brilliant in an absurd role. It is a great performance, truly.

Looks like Dr. Silva is drumming up interest again in his plastic surgery business. I take him as seriously as those idiot editors at People Magazine who choose the celebs for their Most Beautiful and Sexiest Man Alive issues. It's the same old PR bullshit. They choose celebrities who currently have something to promote.

Since we're only talking about superficial surface features and not something immeasurable like charisma, then Bradley Cooper is an emu in human form. Robert Pattinson has an ugly profile. From that angle, his nose looks like it was struck by a frying pan. I don't pay him much attention, so maybe Pattinson had cosmetic work to fix it. Jackman is not aging well. Beckham has beady eyes ( I don't get the raves about his body. It's just lean. Rugby players and Olympic rowers have better definition).

They're famous men yet hardly the best out there. Fame creates hype. There are male fashion models who have better facial proportions, but they're not well-known. There are better-looking men who aren't celebs and who have no interest in famewhoring.

*Dr. De Silva

Ok boomer

What a joke. Robert Pattinson smells. It's been well documented that he doesn't bathe.

Robert Pattinson isn't even the most handsome man named Robert Pattinson.

What a joke, look at Bradley Cooper pic; no lips, weak jaw line, asymmetric eyes, come on.

This seems more like a list of guys that Dr. De Silva wants to fuck.

Not one person on that list is deserving.

Wasn't there some rumor that one of RP co-stars allegedly became interested in sniffing his armpits and socks?

This, along with People Magazine's Most Beautiful Person editions, once again plays into the "white is right" narrative. I won't call these men ugly, but when your computer searches for the "most handsome" man and the top contenders all have European features it reinforces and brainwashes people to place the white race above all others. I know there is a person or two of color, but this list is still bullshit. There are gorgeous actors from Africa, Indian, other parts of Asia, the Middle East, South America, all over the world.

r7 thank you for noticing that. While this may be computer generated, I'd like to know more about the people calibrating those computers. They had to set some sort of standards and those standards identified white people as the BEST. Was there room for bias?

One was Henry Cavill, who could NEVAH be confused with Robert Pattinson

I never thought Robert Pattinson was hot until I watched "High Life", and subsequently, "The Lighthouse." He was very handsome in both of those movies. I think he's gotten better-looking with age. Pattinson and Idris Elba are the only two men I find attractive on that entire list. I mean, Bradley Cooper? Really?

Ugly! Ugly! Ugly!

so they're not going to mention Ryan Gosling's nose job?

it's amazing because some of these people probably would be odd looking in real life. What looks good on screen doesn't necessarily translate to real life. A lot of the people on this list wouldn't make me turn my head in real life.

Pattinson is hideous. HIDEOUS I TELL YOU!

I think Robert Pattison is handsome but I think Jamie Dornan is the most handsome man in the world.

Funny coincidence. I fell into a nostalgic k-hole today with Busted going on my Spotify, and R-Pattz is essentially the knock-off reformulation Charlie Simpson, no? It’s all the in the eyebrow magick.

He doesn't bathe.

R23 I remember when Kristen Stewart said that Rob liked to lick her armpits 🤢

Pattinson could play Miss Prissy in a live action cartoon.

There is so much wrong with this article.

Jamie was gorgeous and pretty and handsome when he was a bit younger. He's still very good looking but some of the magic is gone.

Pattinson looks like a wet sock.

[quote] such classically shaped features and a wonderful chiselled jaw.

My name isn’t that difficult to spell properly...

He's fug

Pattinson is nothing more than K-Stew's former beard.

South African politician Tim Harris has been a knockout at every age up to now.

robert pattison looks like he would be the grungy cashier at a used record store in london if he wasn't a actor and had fame.. TRUTH!...and perpetually 18 years old looking... sorry i go for M-E-N....

wouldn't even give him 1 glance passing him on the street, much less anything else..

his p.r. machine must be working 24/7 for him and his upcoming batman flick...

IF THEY WEREN'T FAMOUS ACTORS?

george clooney looks like the gruff manager at a hardware store...

brad pitt looks like the pock marked major bags under his eyes and crow's feet manager at a surf shop..

bradley cooper looks like the tour guide of a forest range or perhaps coffee shop manager

kanye west looks like what he is a thug and so on and so on.

i've seen (AND WE ALL HAVE!) gorgeous stunning men at gyms, concerts, sporting events, walking the streets just in l.a. much less elsewhere that would put all of these men to shame...

in my opinion the only TRULY handsome (and stunning) man on the list is cavill and even he isn't perfect..

R14 Yeah, Pattinson was super hot in the "Lighthouse" but his performance was NOT. It's a crime Dafoe wasn't even nominated. Or was he?

So the computer settles it... no brown skin people are hot! I knew it!

Eww Pattinson looks like he stinks. Dr Silva should go wash his eyes with bleach.

Was Pattinson marked down for having one Asian eye and one Caucasian eye?

"his performance was NOT."

Au contraire, Pattinson's turn in THE LIGHTHOUSE is his greatest screen performance to date, a role full of traps that could have degenerated into silliness but which he instead pulls off beautifully and astonishingly.

R49 He effortlessly went in and out of his NE accent.
