Henry Cavill has been crowned the sexiest bearded man of all time. According to data analysed by Buzz Bingo of popular image-based social media sites, the 30 most popular bearded celebs have been named, with Cavill taking the top spot.
Well known for playing Charles Brandon in Showtime’s The Tudors and DC Comics character Superman, the British actor’s chiselled jawline is often adorned with facial hair. His most recent acting stint includes portraying Geralt of Rivia in the popular Netflix fantasy series The Witcher – which originally started off as a video game – where he sported long grey hair and thick stubble.
Although the Hollywood icon may be an obvious winner in the list, Cavill, 40, is also known for being a ‘geek’. Cavill is a proud video gamer, enjoying the likes of World of Warcraft, War Hammer and even The Witcher.
The study, which combined Pinterest board data and Instagram search data, has found that whilst facial hair is no young man’s game, the average age of the top ten men on the list is 41. The oldest man making the top ten is Scottish actor Gerard Butler. Butler.
The 53-year-old, well known for his role in the romantic film P.S. I Love You, seems to have remained desirable some 16 years after the film was released, gaining more than two million Instagram searches monthly.
Second place on the list goes to Mr Grey himself, Jamie Dornan. The 41-year-old from Northern Ireland caused a stir when he first appeared in the steamy Fifty Shades franchise in 2015, a role that people are still not over, judging by two million pins and Instagram searches combined.
In at third place is rough and ready Tom Hardy. London-born and bred Hardy, 45, has starred in a wide range of roles, and often violent ones. That hasn’t put the public off though, he boasts over 700,000 pins and 3.5 million Instagram searches.
Surprisingly low down on the list at spot 22, is Jack Grealish. The Manchester City football player, who is also the youngest bearded man on the list at 27, won the hearts and the eyes of the nation during the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament.
Some other less obvious choices in the top 30 are TV personality Richard Osman, 52, at number 28, only to be pipped to the post by Brian Blessed, taking the number 27 spot. Blessed is also the oldest member on the list, at a ripe old age of 86.
