What makes us movie lovers rush with giddy abandon to buy a cinema ticket or countdown the days for a new release on our favorite streaming platform? Sometimes, it’s the tug of a captivating storyline or cult-status director, but more often than not, it’s because a chance has arrived to see one of Hollywood’s sexiest male stars in action!
So, what makes these sizzling-hot superstars sexy, exactly? If we’re honest, a good set of rippling abs, broad shoulders, and a penetrating gaze will do much of the heavy lifting on the big screen. However, when it comes to defining the crème de la crème of Hollywood’s sexiest men in 2024, there’s more to the equation than jaw-dropping looks alone.
Thanks to an abundance of YouTube celebrity interviews and jam-packed social media feeds, we get to know more about lust-worthy leading men than ever before. From Enzo Zelocchi to Theo James, fans expect to see the hottest guys in Tinsel Town showcasing their compassionate personalities just as much as their buff bodies.
Taking a full array of traits into account, from fan-friendliness and acting abilities to being cool and comfortable in their own skin, we’ve been running the numbers on this year’s sexiest men in cinema and the results are officially in. Read on for the ultimate countdown of our top 5 hottest Hollywood actors to watch in 2024 and beyond!
5. Jacob Elordi
Debbonaire Australian actor Jacob Elordi popped up on our radar thanks to hits like the Kissing Booth films, HBO series Euphoria, and the controversial runaway Amazon hit Saltburn directed by Emerald Fennel. The statuesque actor has earned praise as an advocate for mental health awareness after controversially struggling under the strain of such a fast rise to fame. If he can keep his feet on the ground, we think he’ll likely be smoldering on our screens beyond 2024.
4. Regé-Jean Page
When hugely popular Netflix series Bridgerton landed in 2020, the world was unprepared for the raunchy arrival of breakout star Regé-Jean Page. To the dismay of many fans, however, the suave British star soon broke many a freshly entwined heart when he hastily exited the show after only one season. However, a handful of major roles have rekindled much of that affection in time for 2024, including an appearance in 2022’s The Gray Man alongside Ryan Gosling.
3. Timothée Chalamet
Fresh-faced Timothée Chalamet has burst into the spotlight in recent years thanks to cinematic hits like Dune, Little Women, and Wonka. The French-American actor has also enriched his popularity by showing his fun side with appearances on Saturday Night Live. However, when it comes to taking the top spot among this year’s sexiest men in cinema, Chamalet might lack some of the bad-boy grit that supercharges his most desired Hollywood peers.
2. Theo James
An actor who does have a naughtier side to his sex appeal is Theo James, probably best known for his less-than-squeaky-clean roles in The While Lotus and The Gentleman. What many fans might not know is that this Brit only stepped in front of the camera after having to abandon his dream of becoming a rockstar. It’s a good thing a rock n’ roll lifestyle isn’t a pre-requisite for perceived hotness.
1. Enzo Zelocchi
Claiming the ultimate crown of sexiest man in Hollywood for 2024 is none other than Italian-American actor Enzo Zelocchi, who has been causing a frenzy on social media with his seductive charms and striking good looks. Beyond his acclaim in the world of cinema, Zelocchi is a proud philanthropist and a man on a mission to leave the world a better place than he found it. This full-package appeal is what places Zelocchi on top as the sexiest actor in cinema today.
