Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the world’s most handsome man, according to a study based on ancient Greek beauty standards.

The British actor’s eye, eyebrow, nose, lips, chin, jaw, and facial shape measurements were found to be 93.04% aligned with the Golden Ratio, an equation used by the ancient Greeks to measure balance and perfection.

This ratio, approximately 1.618:1 and denoted by the Greek letter Phi (φ), has inspired various works of art throughout history, including Leonardo Da Vinci’s 1490 Vitruvian Man, which depicts a nude man representing the artist’s conception of ideal body proportions.

Aaron’s features closely match the classical Greeks’ idea of perfection, said Dr. Julian De Silva, from the Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in London.

“What makes Aaron so exceptional is the overall shape of his face, which with a score of 99.2% is only 0.8% off being perfect,” the cosmetic surgeon found. The list was compiled using computer mapping techniques.

“The width and length of his nose is almost perfect, too, at 98.8%.

“He also has a beautifully sculpted chin which scored well at 95%.

“All his scores were strong except for his eye spacing at 89%, the gap between his nose and lip (89.6%) and his lips (86%).”

The actor, a frontrunner to assume the role of 007 in the upcoming James Bond film, scored higher than other performers who have played the secret service agent before, such as Sean Connery (89.2%), Roger Moore (88.8%), and Daniel Craig (84.2%).

The second-most handsome man according to Dr. De Silva’s study, was Emily in Paris actor Lucien Laviscount, who scored 92.41%, followed by Gladiator II star Paul Mescal, with 92.38%.

Meanwhile, Twilight actor Robert Pattinson ranked fourth on the list (92.15%), Jack Lowden came in fifth (90.33%), and George Clooney was sixth (89.9%).

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

“There has been a loss of volume in his face and, inevitably, some sagging around the eyes.

“To still make the top ten at 63 is remarkable and is testament to his incredible natural good looks.”

They were followed by Nicholas Hoult (89.84%) and Charles Melton (88.46%).

Idris Elba, famous for portraying Stringer Bell in the HBO series The Wire and John Luther in the BBC series Luther, ranked ninth with 87.97%.

“At 52, Idris is the third oldest man on the list  but he is showing few signs of aging and is in wonderful shape.

“He had the highest mark for his eye spacing with 98.9%. His beautifully sculpted chin missed the top spot by a whisker with a score of 98.5% but he was marked down due to the shape of his nose.”
