Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the most attractive man in the world — at least that’s what a British plastic surgeon claims to have found out. Using mathematical formulas, he took a close look at the faces of male stars and chose the British film star as the winner. STYLEBOOK takes a closer look and reveals who came a close second.

Since 1985, the editors of “People” magazine have voted for the “Sexiest Man Alive” every year. Not really representative and certainly not objective. But now a British plastic surgeon has used calculations to choose the most attractive man in the world: Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

The Beauty Doc’s Analysis: Who Is the Most Attractive Man in the World?

Dr. Julian De Silva has now presented his latest results on Instagram. British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is at the top of the list, closely followed by Lucien Laviscount and Paul Mescal. But beauty is a matter of taste, isn’t it?

The British cosmetic surgeon attempts to demystify the subject using a scientific method. Using the “golden ratio,” a mathematical principle that has been the standard for aesthetics for centuries, he regularly analyzes the faces of prominent men. The aim is to determine how close their facial proportions are to the ideal.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson: the Almost Perfect Man

According to De Silva’s calculations, British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson achieves a remarkable 93.04 percent conformity with the golden ratio. In particular, his facial shape and the length and width of his nose score almost perfectly, with values of 99.2 percent and 98.8 percent respectively. This high match puts him at the top of the list of the most attractive men.

Lucien Laviscount, star of the series “Emily in Paris,” and the Irish actor Paul Mescal are close behind with 92.41% and 92.38% respectively. It is interesting to note that “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson, who was already at the top of De Silva’s previous rankings, “only” achieved fourth place this year with 92.15 percent. Hollywood celebrities such as George Clooney and Idris Elba also made it back into the top ten.

Controversy Surrounding the Method

The exact way in which Dr. De Silva selects the candidates for his analyses remains unclear. What is certain, however, is that the British surgeon has been publishing his results at regular intervals for years, thus always generating discussion.

Despite the scientific approach, the subject of beauty naturally remains highly subjective. While many admire the results and find the precise measurement of proportions fascinating, there are also critical voices. Some criticize that beauty ideals such as the golden ratio promote outdated and unrealistic standards.

The selection of celebrity candidates is also often questioned: why are some actors who were considered particularly attractive in the past suddenly missing from the list? For example, Regé-Jean Page, who was named the most handsome man last year, was not even included in the current analysis, even though his value is theoretically higher than that of Taylor-Johnson.

What Else Makes Aaron Taylor-Johnson Special Besides His Beauty

Aaron Taylor-Johnson was born Aaron Perry Johnson on June 13, 1990 in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. He discovered his passion for acting at a young age and began his acting career at the age of six, when he took on his first theater and television roles. He had his first significant role in 2003 in the British television series “Feather Boy”. Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s international breakthrough came in 2010 with the leading role in the comic adaptation “Kick-Ass.” The film’s success catapulted him to global fame and opened doors to larger film projects.

In 2011 — at the age of 21 — he played the lead role in “Nowhere Boy,” a biopic about John Lennon’s youth. He received critical acclaim and several awards for his performance. Interestingly, he also met his future wife Sam Taylor-Wood, who directed the film and was 44 years old at the time, during filming.

He achieved further success with films such as “Godzilla” and “Nocturnal Animals,” in which he won the Golden Globe for “Best Supporting Actor” for his dark and intense portrayal of an antagonist.

Current Projects and Rumors About James Bond

In recent years, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has appeared in films such as “Tenet” by Christopher Nolan and played an important role in the action thriller “Bullet Train” alongside Brad Pitt. In 2023, he took on the title role in the Spider-Man spin-off ‘Kraven the Hunter,’ which brought him renewed attention in the world of comic book adaptations.

There has been speculation for some time as to whether actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson will succeed Daniel Craig as James Bond. Given his striking looks, he could potentially be considered the most handsome 007 actor to date, if one were to judge beauty by such mathematical standards. Compared to former Bonds such as Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan, he would easily surpass them.

Critical Voices and Grooming Discussions Surrounding Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Private Life

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been married to the aforementioned director Sam Taylor-Wood, who is 23 years older than him, since 2012. The couple has two daughters and maintains a relatively private lifestyle. Their relationship has attracted media attention due to their age difference, but they have always emphasized that their love is strong and enduring. After their wedding, Aaron adopted the double name Taylor-Johnson.

However, not everything associated with Aaron Taylor-Johnson is positive. In recent years, more and more critical voices have been raised, questioning his relationship with his much older wife Sam Taylor-Johnson. The large age difference in particular has caused discussion among many, with some even accusing Sam of grooming. These accusations, which allude to Aaron’s young age when the two met, have sparked heated debates online. While some defend the relationship and emphasize that the two have been happily married for over a decade, others accuse the Taylor-Johnsons of questionable dynamics.
