As it turns out, some people really are just more beautiful than others. In fact, some men are so gorgeous that they end up being recognized for it, as stated by the most handsome face of 2023 list.

Published annually by content creator giant TC Candler and The Independent Critics since the 1990s, the list has this year selected only 100 faces out of approximately 300,000 celebrities.

Highlights
  • Timothée Chalamet named the most handsome man of 2023 by TC Candler.
  • The list features 100 faces selected from 300,000 celebrities worldwide.
  • Over 50 countries are represented in this year's diverse selection.

“It is a thankless task, as no individual will ever agree with all the choices,” the creator stated on its official YouTube channel.

According to TC Candler, over 50 countries are represented on the annual list. That number has reportedly gone up every year, thanks to the public participation growing and expanding.

“This diversity relies heavily on public suggestions from almost every corner of the globe,” the channel mentioned.

This year, Timothée Chalamet beat his 2018 predecessor Leonardo DiCaprio in being voted the most handsome man of 2023. 

The 28-year-old French-American actor has had a busy year, most notably hosting Saturday Night Live and portraying Willy Wonka in the musical film Wonka.

The Hollywood star is now to reprise the role of Paul Atreides in the sequel to Dune, titled Dune: Part Two.

Bored Panda takes a look at some of the most handsome men of 2023.

    22 Idris elba 21 Jason Momoa 15 Mohammad Ajoory 13 Chris Hemsworth 11 2 Henry Cavill Those are the ones I thought, ok. The rest is too young (look like teenagers, not men), or unrealistic (pores, wrinkles, anything to show they've lived?) (Probably my age, I'm 43 and it shows that those babyfaces are not what I find attractive now)

    Considering how many kpop idols are on this list, it's a total crime that Cha Eunwoo is not on the list. His nickname is literally face genius and is considered one of the most beautiful men in Korea and the planet based on his perfect porportions. Also Matt Rife Ewww 🤮

    Never heard of most of the top 10. Some are just feminine looking. I will make Seth Edeen as the most handsome. Super handsome face, well built athletic guy, gorgeous eyes hair eyebrows, cheeky smile, omg... that guy is just too much! 😍

    Pedro Pascal #11? Please. He doesn't even belong on the list. And Jason Momoa remains far superior looking to all the others and everybody knows it.

    All of them are at least 18, some of your "boys" in their mid-twenties or early thirties. Well groomed skin and a youthful look still seems to be reserved for women. If they age (beautifully) they are still getting invisible to most industries, men or whatever youth-cult. "Men are like aged wine",blablabla, just an excuse for neglecting their appearance. All young women seem to be measured by these plasticy, stencil-shaped, kardashianized Influencer look... Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Open your minds for other kinds of handsomeness, Europeans or the Americans are not the only people on this earth.
