Who Is the Handsomest Man in the World?

READ TIME: 12 MIN.

A facial cosmetic surgeon used an Ancient Greek mathematical theory to determine who the most handsome man in the world is.

"Dr. Julian De Silva revealed the results according to the "Golden Ratio" in mathematics, Phi, first observed by the Pythagoreans in Ancient Greece and applied to physical beauty," writes People.

Topping the list is Regé-Jean Page, who played Simon Basset in season 1 of Netflix's "Bridgerton."

"The 34-year-old actor, played Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings in the hit Netflix series, was found to be 93.65 per cent accurate to the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, which measures physical perfection," writes the Daily Mail.

"Dr De Silva, who runs the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery in Harley Street, London explained: 'These brand new computer mapping techniques allow us to solve some of the mysteries of what it is that makes someone physically beautiful and the technology is useful when planning patients' surgery," adds the Daily Mail.

"First, the length and width of the face are measured. Once this is done, the length is divided by the width. The ideal result is considered the Golden Ratio which should equal 1.6. This means a beautiful person's face is about 1 ½ times longer than it is wide," Ladner Facial Plastic Surgery revealed of the calculations.

"Three segments of the face are also measured; from the forehead hairline to the area between the eyes, the area between the eyes to the bottom of the nose, and from the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the chin. When these measurements are taken, if the numbers are equal, a person is considered more beautiful. There was a belief that a person's level of attractiveness was connected to the symmetry of their face; the more symmetrical, the more beautiful."

"'Men In Black' star Chris Hemsworth was second with 93.5 3per cent, 'Black Panther' hunk Michael B Jordan was third with 93.46 per cent and singer Harry Styles was fourth with 92.30 percent," writes People.

Here is the top 10:

1. Regé-Jean Page - 93.65%


Dr De Silva explains: "Regé won because of his classically beautiful face and gorgeous brown eyes. He had easily the highest score for his eye spacing and the positioning of his eyes also scored highly. His perfectly shaped lips also scored highly and the only mark he got that was slightly lower was for his nose width and length."

2. Chris Hemsworth - 93.53%


The 39-year old is the best-known of the Hemsworth clan. "He has the old fashioned matinee idol glamour of the Hollywood stars of yesteryear and that scores very highly when you are measuring classical beauty," says Dr De Silva.

3. Michael B Jordan - 93.46%


The 35-year old Jordan, the star of "Black Panther" and "Creed," made a close third place finish. Dr De Silva said: 'Actor Michael B Jordan was a close .second and topped the scores for the width and length of his nose and came second for his chin.'

4. Harry Styles - 92.3%


At 28, the pop music star and actor, famous for breaking gender and fashion rules, placed fourth. Dr De Silva said: "Harry Styles came fourth and he scored an almost perfect 99.7 per cent for his chin. He was second highest for his eye spacing. It is no surprise that he is fast becoming a movie heartthrob as well as a singing superstar."

5. Jude Bellingham - 92.22%


A surprise on the list is the British soccer star who was a sensation at the recent World Cup. At 19, he's the youngest on the list. Dr De Silva said: "It is great to see England's soccer star Jude Bellingham scoring so highly." He added that one reason he scored so highly was for the almost perfect positioning between his lips and his nose. Though his overall face shape had one of the lowest scores in the top ten.
