83 Hottest Hollywood Hunks

Rock Hudson

Tall and handsome, closeted actor Rock Hudson was a matinee idol of the 1950s and 1960s, but transitioned seamlessly to TV in the 1970s as a daddy type in McMillan and Wife. His good looks and sexy charm lasted until his untimely death from HIV complications in 1985. Photo credit: Silver Screen Collection/Getty Images

James Garner

This all-American actor oozed a rugged masculine sensuality when his career peaked in the 1960s and 1970s (remember The Rockford Files?). He was sweet and sultry when he seduced Sally Field in the 1980s film Murphy's Romance. Photo credit: Don Cravens/Getty Images

Steve McQueen

Nicknamed the "King of Cool," McQueen epitomized fast cars, strong drinks, and good lovin'. Whether it was on-screen in films like Bullitt or romancing Ali McGraw, McQueen was irresistible onscreen and off. Photo credit: National General Pictures/Getty Images

Warren Beatty

A Hollywood legend when his career started (as brother of Shriley MacClaine), Beatty shot to superstardom as the handsome crook in Bonnie & Clyde. His reputation as a sexy lothario would be cemented by films like Shampoo and romances with women like Carly Simon and Madonna. Photo credit: Silver Screen Collection/Getty Images

Omar Sharif

This Egyptian actor was a welcome figure on the screen, which was dominated by white men of European descent in the mid-20th century. Sharif brought cosmopolitan sexiness to films like Dr. Zhivago and Funny Girl. Photo credit: Ellen Graham/Getty Images

Bruce Lee

Born in San Francisco, Lee first garnered national attention on the series Green Hornet. His mastery of martial arts, combined with an assured self-confidence and toned physique, made him an Asian-American sex symbol respected around the world. He would die in 1973 at only 32 years old.

Robert Redford

With a tousled mane of blond hair, Robert Redford would become one of the most quintessential male heartthrobs of the 20th century. He became known as the straight-laced boy next door ready to be corrupted by co-stars like Jane Fonda and Barbra Streisand. His leading man roles would continue into the 1990s.

Burt Reynolds

Blame it on that famous photo! When Burt Reynolds posed naked — with an arm coveing his bits — for Cosmopolitan, his down-home good looks captivated the nation. The hairy chest and up-to-no-good smile would propel films like Smokey and the Bandit into box office hits. Photo credit: Silver Screen Collection/Getty Images

John Travolta

A household name for decades, Travolta was merely a kid when he landed a role on Welcome Back, Kotter. That TV role would lead to huge films like Carrie, Grease, and Saturday Night Fever. In the latter, he was a disco-fied sex machine let loose on the streets of New York. Photo credit: Jack Mitchell/Getty Images

Fred Williamson

An NFL star of the 1960s, Williamson would turn to acting with much success in the following decade. Starring in classic Blacksploitation films like Black Caesar, Williamson effortlessly played a passionate lover, co-starring with actresses like Gloria Hendry and Sheila Frazier.

Sam Jones

Many Gen X gay boys lusted after a young Sam Jones after he was cast in the 1980 film Flash Gordon (it may have had something to do with him previously posing naked in Playgirl). Jones continued a fruitful career in TV after Flash. Photo credit: Universal/Getty Images

Erik Estrada

This CHiPs star became a phenomenon in the 1970s and People magazine named him one of the world's sexiest bachelors. Of Puerto Rican descent, Estrada was one of few Hispanic leading men at the time. Photo credit: Epics/Getty Images

Brad Davis

This Florida-born actor looked like a boy next door; maybe that's why he was so heartbreaking in films like Midnight Express and captivating in others like Chariots of Fire. Davis would sadly die young, succumbing to HIV complications in 1991 at the age of 41. Photo credit: Planet-Film GmbH/Albatros Filmproduktion/Gaumont/Sunset Boulevard/Corbis via Getty Images

Ryan O'Neal

Ryan O'Neal was like the comedic counterbalance to Robert Redford. Sturdy and fair-haired, O'Neal lit up the screen in Love Story, Paper Moon, and What's Up, Doc? Though he wouldn't reclaim his 1970s movie star zenith, he's remained in the public eye. Photo credit: Silver Screen Collection/Getty Images

Richard Gere

Richard Gere certainly sold the role of a high-price male escort in 1980's American Gigolo. He would take on a very different, though still sexy, role in An Officer and a Gentleman. Of course, he romanced (with aplomb) Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman and even made love to her on a piano. Photo credit: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

Tom Selleck

Tom Selleck's hairy chest and thick mustache had 1980s women swooning. His role as a Hawaii detective in Magnum, P.I. led to a brief movie star career as well, thanks to Three Men and a Baby and its sequels. And who can forget Selleck romancing Courteney Cox's Monica on Friends? Photo credit: Donaldson Collection/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

Patrick Duffy

There definitely was a type when it came to male sex symbols of the 1980s. Duffy was stocky, with a thick head of hair, and he captured hearts with his long-running role on Dallas. Even being famously parodied by South Park didn't dim his attractiveness. Photo credit: Donaldson Collection/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

David Hasselhoff

Hairy and broad-shouldered: check. Those were prerequisites for being a Hollywood hunk in the 1980s. Hasslehoff fit the bill in the popular drama Knight Rider, then in the 1990s, as a barely-clothed lifeguard on Baywatch. Photo credit: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

Harry Hamlin

It's no mystery why a young Harry Hamlin caught the attentions of Bond girl goddess Ursula Andress. The two would fall in love and Hamlin would become an object of desire in the film Clash of the Titans and later L.A. Law. Playing a sexy gay novelist in 1982's Making Love was a bold choice for Hamlin that, sadly, nearly destroyed his career. Photo credit: Sunset Boulevard/Corbis via Getty Images

Christopher Atkins

Atkins's sexualized role with Brooke Shields in Blue Lagoon turned many heads, especially since he was barely over 18. The role set the course for his sex symbol status, one he would carry forth in other roles, including on Dallas. Photo credit: Bettmann/Contributor via Getty Images

Mark Harmon

A mainstay of television for nearly 40 years, Harmon broke through with a role on the hospital drama St. Elsewhere. When People named him one of the sexiest men alive, it would catapault him to even more success. With his chiseled good looks, Harmon still made fans swoon with his long-running role on NCIS. Photo credit: Ellen Graham/Getty Images

Lorenzo Lamas

This actor, from Argentine and Norwegian parents, would turn heads with a role on Falcon Crest. He would nab TV roles in the following decades, including on the long-running Renegade. Photo credit: Jack Mitchell/Getty Images

Scott Bakula

Bakula, cut from the 1980s sex symbol cloth, became a household name in the 1990s series Quantum Leap. He has worked steadily since, bringing his all-American good looks to shows like Star Trek: Enterprise and NCIS: New Orleans. He also played a sexy older gay man on HBO's Looking. Photo credit: Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images

Rob Lowe

With a chiseled face that looks nealy perfect, Rob Lowe rocketed to stardom with films like The Outsiders, St. Elmo's Fire, and About Last Night... When a sex tape of him and two women leaked in the late '80s, it was a major scandal. His career rebounded and he's been a staple on television ever since. Photo credit: Paul Harris/Getty Images

Harrison Ford

A non-traditional heartthrob, Harrison Ford is all rumpled reality wrapped up in an adorable package. Whether saving the galaxy in Star Wars, fighting androids in Blade Runner, or plundering antiquities in Indiana Jones films, this modest hunk always charms with his crooked smile. Photo credit: Nancy Moran/Sygma via Getty Images

John Stamos

This Greek-American hunk has remained ageless, from his earliest career days on General Hospital to his sitcom success on Full House to later day success on Broadway. Photo credit: Shutterstock

Ted McGinley

Ted McGinley was a fixture on TV in the 1980s and 1990s, flashing his good looks on shows like Married... With Children and having memorable roles in movies like Revenge of the Nerds. Often playing dimwits, McGinley's charm shone through. Photo credit: Doug Griffin/Toronto Star via Getty Images

Tom Cruise

The ultimate male sex symbol of the later 20th century, Cruise rocketed to fame dancing in his underwear in Risky Business. He would memorably and passionately pin Kelly McGillis to a wall in Top Gun, and explore desire in Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. And he still looks good! Photo credit: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan, who is Irish not English, was born to play James Bond. The classic good looks served Brosnan well in the TV show Remington Steele and set him up for 007, as well as other sultry roles, like The Thomas Crown Affair. Photo credit: Bob Riha Jr/WireImage

Patrick Swayze

Was it his sexy instructor in Dirty Dancing or his passionate husband in Ghost that turned you on to Patrick Swayze? Maybe it was the ease of which he played a drag queen in To Wong Foo that made you fall for this masculine hunk of beefcake. Photo credit: Nancy Moran/Sygma via Getty Images

Bruce Willis

Even with a receding hairline, Bruce Willis was irresistable in the romantic drama Moonlighting, opposite Cybil Shepard. His confident sexuality took him to success in the Die Hard series and his acting chops and tender sensitivity elevated the already unforgettable film The Sixth Sense. Photo credit: 20th Century Fox via Getty Images

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt may have stolen the mantle of ultimate male sex symbol from his Interview With the Vampire co-star, Tom Cruise. Pitt showed off his penchant for seduction in Thelma & Louise and continued to charm and captivate throughout the 1990s and into the new century. Photo credit: Shutterstock

Denzel Washington

The fact that he's a great actor only makes Denzel Washington even more attractive. From Malcolm X to Philadelphia to Training Day, Washington's brains match his beauty and keep us coming back for more. Photo credit: TriStar Pictures/Getty Images

Leonardo DiCaprio

He may be past his twink days of Titanic and The Beach, but Leonardo DiCaprio will always command an outsize role in 1990s hunkdom. And he looked pretty good in 2013's The Great Gatsby! Photo credit: Shutterstock

Antonio Banderas

For American audiences, this Spanish actor made a memorable appearance in Madonna's Truth or Dare documentary (where the pop queen lusted after the beautiful man). A muse of esteemed director Pedro Almodovar, Banderas transitioned to Hollywood films like Philadelphia and Interview With a Vampire; never losing his gorgeous charm. Photo credit: Shutterstock

Colin Farrell

This Irish actor always exerted a relaxed masculine sensibility and the fact that he could act never hurt. Starring in films as varied as Alexander, Minority Report, and A Home at the End of the World, Farrell quickly rocketed to stardom in the 2000s. Photo credit: Shutterstock

Liam Neeson

From northern Ireland, Liam Neeson first came to major attention as the title character in Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List. He transitioned to action roles — usually saving a hapless daughter or relative — in scores of films in later decades. His broad shoulders and manly persona made him a sex symbol to many aunties. Photo credit: Ron Galella, Ltd./Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images

Jean-Claude Van Damme

The "Muscles from Brussels" made a name for himself as a super-fit martial arts star ala Bruce Lee. His heartthrob status was cemented when he romanced both Rachel and Monica in an infamous 1996 episode of Friends. Photo credit: Patrick AVENTURIER/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images

Will Smith

Starting out his career with a goofy persona thanks to his music and his role on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will Smith grew up in later years, hunking out in films like Ali, Bad Boys, and I Am Legend. Photo credit: Murray Close/Getty Images

Keanu Reeves

Beloved and attractive for 40 years, Keanu Reeves shone (and made many sweat) with roles like the gay sex worker in My Own Private Idaho, the LAPD action hero in Speed, and the cool-as-a-cucumber Neo in The Matrix. His on-screen romances with actresses like Winona Ryder and Sandra Bullock were pretty hot too! Photo credit: Richard Blanshard/Getty Images

George Clooney

Some may have noticed George Clooney when he starred on Facts of Life way back when, but it was his role on ER in the mid-90s that catapaulted him to hunk stardom and made his film career possible. Suave, smooth, and chiseled, he's every thinking woman and gay man's dream. Photo credit: Ron Galella, Ltd./Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images

Jared Leto

It was his nearly silent role in TV's My So-Called Life that first brought Jared Leto fame (and the adoration of many young girls and gays). He has worked steadily since, mostly in darker, character roles that belie his chiseled features. Photo credit: Shutterstock

Mario Lopez

Yes, he wore some goofy clothes in the teen sitcom Saved by the Bell, but Lopez matured into quite a handsome — and bulky — TV host. And that smile! Photo credit: Shutterstock

Jonathan Taylor Thomas

Who knew that a co-star on Home Improvement would soon the darling of teeny bopper magazines? With a knowing smirk and perfect hair, JTT became one of the world's favorite twinks of the mid-90s. Photo credit: Shutterstock

Devon Sawa

Maybe it was Casper, Wild America, or Now & Then that got the kids hip to Devon Sawa's charm. We saw a different side to the boy-next-door when he appeared in the dark comedy Idle Hands and starred in Eminem's "Stan" music video. Photo credit: Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images

Luke Perry

For anyone not alive in the early 1990s, it hard to describe what a phenomenon Beverly Hills, 90210 was — and at the center of it all, was Luke Perry. His soulful Dylan character romanced many of the show's female stars and Perry's blue-collar charm was, well, charming. The hair, the scar, the lankiness, the kindness; we miss it all. Photo credit: Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images

Jason Priestley

The other heartthrob of 90210, Priestley exuded a different, but still sexy, vibe than Luke Perry. Maybe it was the hockey playing, the car racing, the perfect hair, or the blue eyes? Photo credit: Shutterstock

Matt Damon

He certainly was sexy (and troubled) in Good Will Hunting, but he showed his chops as the (also troubled) main character in The Talented Mr. Ripley. He transitioned to action star in the Bourne Identity films and remains one of the biggest movie stars today. Photo credit: Shutterstock

Ben Affleck

Remember how good he looked in Pearl Harbor? Maybe not, since that movie is long forgotten. But he was fetching in Chasing Amy, loutishly attractive in Good Will Hunting, and a real movie star in Armaggedon. Tall, dark, and handsome is still an easy sell. Photo credit: Vinnie Zuffante/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

Matthew McConaughey

He was more amusing than attractive in Dazed & Confused, but Matthew McConaughey was fiercely sexy in A Time to Kill. That drawl, that face, that body! A movie star, through and through. Photo credit: Shutterstock

Freddie Prince, Jr.

The son of a beloved comedian, Freddie Prince Jr. became a star in his own right thanks to She's All That (he was so darn cute) and I Know What You Did Last Summer and its sequel. Sarah Michelle Gellar has excellent taste. Photo credit: Jamie McCarthy/WireImage

Josh Hartnett

A teen dream of the late 1990s thanks to The Faculty and Halloween: H20, Josh Hartnett effused the careless cool so prevalent in hotthrobs of this time. The tousled hair and I don't care atttitude was infectious! Photo credit: Shutterstock

Ryan Reynolds

Considered one of the highest grossing actors of all-time, Canadian born Ryan Reynolds almost went to Kwantlen Polytechnic University, instead of becoming Green Lantern and then Deadpool, had it not been for the urging of a friend to move to Los Angeles with them.

In addition to being an accomplished actor, he's an intelligent business man, with investments in several companies, and even owns a Welsh footbal team.
