Top 100 Hottest Actors Of All Time [Sexiest Actors]

 

Actors can bring to life all our dreams, our nightmares, our fantasies, and stark realities.

 

They bring life to every story and make us believe in what they have to show.

 

In the movie industry, while directors, producers, scriptwriters, technicians all have an important part to play in its success, actors are the face of the movie.

 

This is all the heavy stuff about being an actor. The adulations of screaming fans, the thrill of playing grander-than-life characters, and loads of moolah attract our eye at first sight.

 

And why not? Every time we see a hot actor win the affection of beauty, we feel like we have won.

 

Every time we see a bad guy beat up by a hunky actor, we jump up from our seats and cheer.

 

I still remember the Matrix, the thrill of watching Neo stop all the bullets from the agents.

 

When he plunged into Agent Smith and destroyed him from within, I can feel the righteous victory in my veins.

 

In the Avenger series, despite the betrayal of Loki, I still wept when he died at the hands of Thanos.

 

I rooted for Bucky Barnes and his friendship with Steve Rogers In The Civil War.

 

These are just a few examples of how hot actors affect and influence our emotions.

 

For the longest time, I expected Charlton Heston to come back to life because he was Moses, Ben-Hur, Samson, and all the great biblical characters.

 

This time, I bring you a list of all the hottest actors who have made us believe in all the ridiculous fantasies.

 

Who has kept our hopes alive of meeting them, and if you are one of the crazier fans, then maybe even marrying them?

 

This list has all those actors who are suave, debonair, hot as hell, and even cool as the Arctic.

 

Acting talent is secondary to this list, and good looks in their prime are the main consideration.
