10 Most Handsome Men in the World, According to Golden Ratio – Pics

Dr. Julian De Silva, a renowned facial cosmetic surgeon based in London, used the ancient Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty to reveal the ten most handsome men according to science. Even the legendary Leonardo da Vinci turned to this ratio when sketching the Vitruvian Man, his vision of the perfect human male body.

The Golden Ratio hinges on the magical number 1.618 (Phi). The closer a face or body gets to this ratio, the more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing it is considered.

From Idris Elba to George Clooney and Paul Mescal, which star made it to number one? Now, let’s dive into the much-anticipated list of the world’s top ten most handsome men, based on the Golden Ratio!

10. Shah Rukh Khan – 86.76%

Bollywood’s legendary “King Khan” has captivated audiences for decades, and even at 58, Khan continues to exude charm and sophistication.

On Khan’s timeless appeal, Dr. De Silva said, “The king of Bollywood has been one of India’s biggest stars for the last three decades. He is still striking looking at 58 and is ageing wonderfully.”

Khan scored remarkably well in key facial features, with his beautifully defined lips and that iconic square jawline earning him major points.

However, the shape of his nose held him back from climbing higher on the list. Still, with an impressive 86.76% match to the Golden Ratio, Khan has rightfully earned his spot among the most handsome men in the world!

9. Idris Elba – 87.94%

The charismatic British actor has long symbolized sophistication and good looks. At 52, Idris Elba is aging like fine wine and securing his spot among the world’s most handsome men.

De Silva praised Idris, saying, “At 52, Elba is the third oldest man on the list but he is showing few signs of ageing and is in wonderful shape.”

What truly sets Elba apart is his impeccable eye spacing, which scored a near-perfect 98.9%, according to the Golden Ratio. His chiseled chin also came incredibly close to perfection, with 98.5%.

However, like Khan, the shape of his nose slightly impacted his overall ranking. Still, with a score of 87.94%, Elba remains one of the most striking men in Hollywood and beyond.

8. Charles Melton – 88.46%

Best known for his role as Reggie Mantle in the hit TV series “Riverdale,” Melton’s unique and striking appearance has earned him a well-deserved spot on this list.

Dr. De Silva praised Melton’s looks, noting, “He has a Korean mother and an American father, and this mixed-race heritage gives him a particularly striking appearance.”

Melton scored exceptionally high with his eye positioning and overall proportions of his face, with the length and width hitting near-perfect marks. However, the gap between his nose and upper lip prevented him from climbing higher in the rankings.

Still, with an impressive score of 88.46%, Melton’s blend of features and natural allure make him one of the most handsome men of 2024!

7. Nicholas Hoult – 89.84%

Hoult, who captured hearts as a child star in “About A Boy” and later soared to fame as Hank McCoy in the “X-Men” series, has firmly established himself as one of Hollywood’s most handsome leading men.

According to De Silva, Hoult “has taken Hollywood by storm” and it’s no surprise given his striking features. He came incredibly close to the top with a remarkable 95.8% for the position of his eyes — one of the most important markers of facial symmetry.

He also performed well across all categories, but the overall shape of his face brought his score slightly down, earning an 80% in that area.

Even so, with a score of 89.84%, Hoult’s boyish charm and undeniable presence keep him shining bright among the world’s most handsome men.

6. George Clooney – 89.9%

At 63, Clooney proves that age is just a number when it comes to timeless beauty. Known for his classic good looks and charm, Clooney remains one of the most handsome men in the world — even decades after his rise to fame.

De Silva commented, “George Clooney is easily the oldest star on the list but he remains a stunningly attractive man with classical features in great proportion.”

While Clooney’s natural good looks have remained largely intact, Dr. De Silva noted that age has caused some expected changes, such as a loss of volume in his face and slight sagging around his eyes.

But to still make the top ten at 63 is nothing short of remarkable. With a Golden Ratio score of 89.9%, Clooney shows that true beauty only gets better with time.

5. Jack Lowden – 90.33%

Lowden, the rising star known for his role as MI5 spy River Cartwright in “Slow Horses,” has certainly made a lasting impression with his acting and striking good looks.

De Silva explained, “Jack has shot to fame in the last few years,” adding, “It’s not hard to see why he has made such an impression with those deep blue eyes.”

Lowden scored incredibly high for his eye position, taking the top spot in this category, and his eye spacing also came close to perfection, placing him second overall.

However, his lips and the proportions of his nose brought his score down slightly. Even so, with a Golden Ratio score of 90.33%, Lowden has earned his spot among the most handsome men of 2024.

4. Robert Pattison – 92.15%

Pattinson, long admired for his brooding looks and captivating presence, has landed in the top four of the most handsome men in the world according to the Golden Ratio.

Regarding Pattinson’s classically shaped features, Da Silva said, “He was in the top five for nearly all the categories because he has such classically shaped features and a wonderful chiseled jaw.”

Pattinson’s symmetrical face and striking jawline secured him high scores, making him a standout contender. However, his only below-average score came from his lips, which were described as a bit “thin and flat” compared to other features.

Despite that minor dip, with an impressive score of 92.15%, Pattinson’s allure and timeless appeal keep him firmly among the world’s most handsome men.

3. Paul Mescal – 92.38%

Mescal, the rising star set to take over Russell Crowe’s iconic role in the upcoming “Gladiator” blockbuster, has already captured hearts.

De Silva noted Mescal’s standout features, mentioning that he “came third and had the highest mark for his square chin,” which scored 98.6%.

However, Mescal’s score was tempered by his lips, which received a modest 82%. Nevertheless, with a remarkable score of 92.38%, Mescal’s combination of classic masculinity and youthful charm solidifies his position as one of 2024’s most handsome men.

2. Lucien Laviscount – 92.41%

Not only did he excel in facial proportions, but Laviscount also scored exceptionally high for his beautifully shaped lips, achieving a score of 97.4%.

However, a minor setback came from the gap between his nose and upper lip, which prevented him from snagging the top spot. Still, with an outstanding score of 92.41%, Laviscount’s charisma and striking looks ensure he remains a captivating figure.
