1. Ryan Gosling – Starting off with one of the 50 Hottest Bachelors by People Magazine, Ryan Gosling started out in the television series The Mickey Mouse Club alongside Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera in 1993 and appeared on several other TV series and films before landing his first memorable role in The Notebook in 2004. The Canadian actor, singer, director and producer has since proved his versatility across the film industry through the consistent success from his movies resulting in numerous nominations and awards!

2. Angelina Jolie – Next up... we have our award winning actress, film director and humanitarian Angelina Jolie! Angelina started her acting career on the movie Lookin’ to Get Out in 1982 that was co-written by her dad and soon after had her rise to fame after the 1993 film Cyborg 2.

In 2011, Chris landed his most renowned role as the superhero Thor where he gained 20lbs (9kgs) of muscle and apparently gained too much weight that the God of Thunder struggled to fit into the costume!

Over the course of her career Olivia has covered a range of pop, country and adult contemporary music selling an estimated 100 million albums worldwide!
