He might just be Hollywood’s new favourite actor and is tipped to play the next James Bond, so will his most recent achievement help his case? Maybe.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been making waves in the film industry lately, starring alongside heavyweights like Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling, but it seems he has something his co-stars don’t.
As well as being tipped to play the next 007 after Daniel Craig’s retirement from the character in 2021, the 34-year-old English star has officially been declared the most handsome man in the world, at least according to science.
Through computerised facial mapping techniques, developed by Dr Julian de Silva, it has been found that the Bullet Train actor has a 93.04% accuracy rating according to the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi.
The test, is a mathematical equation created to measure physical perfection, with the doctor explaining that Aaron is a ‘clear winner’.
‘What makes Aaron so exceptional is the overall shape of his face, which, with a score of 99.2 percent, is only 0.8 percent off being perfect,’ he said.
‘The width and length of his nose is almost perfect, too, at 98.8 percent. He also has a beautifully sculpted chin which scored well at 95 percent.’
Julian continued to say all of Aaron’s scores were ‘really strong’, but there was one category where he lacked, which was his eye spacing. Euqaliting to 89 percent, the only thing lower was his lips which earned a 86 percent score.
Despite this, if Aaron were cast as Bond, it would mean he is by far the most handsome star to be cast in the role.
According to Julian’s findings, Sean Connery, who played the fictional secret agent in 1983 for the film Never Say Never Again, was the closest to Aaron on the list with an 89.2 percent rating.
Coming in as a close second is Emily In Paris star Lucien Laviscount, 32, who was found to have a slightly lower but still impressive score of 92.41 percent, while Irish actor, Paul Mescal, 28, was found to have a score of 92.38 percent.
Robert Pattinson, 38, was also named on the list. Taking out fourth place, The Batman actor, who actually topped the list in 2020, was given a 92.15 percent rating and Jack Lowden, 34, known for his role in Slow Horses was found to have a 90.33 percent score.
Aaron has yet to comment on the report’s findings.
It comes amid claims the actor, who shot to fame playing Robbie in the 2008 film, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, has been asked to take over from Daniel as Bond.
While the actor has neither confirmed nor denied the rumours, it’s understood he could be competing against Theo James, who is also tipped for the role.
Theo, 39, has appeared on many possible Bond lists alongside the likes of Henry Cavill, rising star Aaron Pierre, Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey and James Norton.
Global head of Amazon MGM Studios Jennifer Salke recently revealed in an interview with The Guardian that they are in ‘no rush’ to find the next Bond and urged fans to be ‘patient’.
