Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson – tipped to be the new James Bond – is the most handsome man in the world, according to science.
The 34-year-old Kick-Ass movie star – who is expected to take over the 007 role from Daniel Craig – was found to be 93.04% accurate to the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi – which measures physical perfection.
His eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape were measured and came closest to the ancient Greeks’ idea of perfection.
Emily In Paris hunk Lucien Laviscount, 32, was second with 92.41%, Gladiator II star Paul Mescal, 28, was third with 92.38% and former Batman actor Robert Pattinson, 38, was fourth with 92.15%
All were close to the perfect score which is 100%.
Taylor-Johnson’s rating would make him the most handsome James Bond in the history of the role – he scores more highly than Daniel Craig, Sean Connery and all the other stars to play the secret service agent.
The list was compiled with the latest computerised mapping techniques by Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva, who uses the technology in his work.
Dr De Silva, who runs the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery in London, said: “Aaron was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection.
“What makes Aaron so exceptional is the overall shape of his face, which, with a score of 99.2%, is only 0.8% off being perfect. The width and length of his nose is almost perfect, too, at 98.8%. He also has a beautifully sculpted chin which scored well at 95%.
“All his scores were really strong except for his eye spacing at 89%, the gap between his nose and lip (89.6%) and his lips (86%).
“Lucien Laviscount, who has won an army of fans for his role as Alfie in Netflix’s Emily In Paris, came second and had the highest score for the length and width of his face at 99.1%.
“Paul Mescal, who takes over the role of Gladiator from Russell Crowe in the new blockbuster which is out next month, came third and had the highest mark for his square chin which scored 98.6%.
“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.”
Taylor-Johnson will be the most handsome James Bond ever if – as expected – he gets the role.
Dr De Silva said “Aaron’s 93.04% score is well ahead of Sean Connery, in second place with 89.2%, with Roger Moore in third on 88.8% and Daniel Craig in last place – behind George Lazenby – on 84.2%.”
The Golden Ratio was a mathematical equation devised by the Greeks in an attempt to measure beauty.
The ratio can be applied to anything and was used by Leonardo Da Vinci for the perfect human male body in his famous work, the Vitruvian Man.
The premise behind this is that the closer the ratios of a face or body are to the number 1.618 (Phi), the more beautiful they become.
The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy, 28, was the most beautiful woman in the world in the female Golden Ratio list released by Dr De Silva in the summer with a score of 94.65%.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson – married to the film director Sam Taylor-Johnson who, at 57, is 23 years older than him – made a name for himself starring in the Kick-Ass and Avengers movies.
He is said to be Eon Productions number one choice to take over from Daniel Craig, who played the role for 15 years.

Top ten and Dr Julian De Silva explaining why stars are so handsome and where they were marked down
1. Aaron Taylor-Johnson – 93.04%
Dr Julian De Silva said: “Aaron was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection.
“What makes Aaron so exceptional is the overall shape of his face, which, with a score of 99.2%, is only 0.8% off being perfect. The width and length of his nose is almost perfect, too, at 98.8%. He also has a beautifully sculpted chin which scored well at 95%.
“All his scores were really strong except for his eye spacing at 89%, the gap between his nose and lip (89.6%) and his lips (86%).”
2. Lucien Laviscount – 92.41%
Dr Julian De Silva said: “Lucien Laviscount, who has won an army of fans for his role as Alfie in Netflix’s Emily In Paris, came second and had the highest score for the length and width of his face at 99.1%. He was also top scorer for his beautifully shaped lips at 97.4%. He was marked down for the gap between his nose and his upper lip.”
3. Paul Mescal – 92.38%
Dr Julian De Silva said: “Paul Mescal, who takes over the role of Gladiator from Russell Crowe in the new blockbuster which is out next month, came third and had the highest mark for his square chin which scored 98.6%. He was marked down for his thin lips which only scored 82%.”
4. Robert Pattinson – 92.15%
Dr Julian De Silva said: “He was in the top five for nearly all the categories because he has such classically shaped features and a wonderful chiselled jaw. His only score below average was for his lips which are a little thin and flat.”
5. Jack Lowden – 90.33%
Dr Julian De Silva said: “Jack has shot to fame in the last few years for his role as the M15 spy River Cartwright in the Apple TV drama Slow Horses and it’s not hard to see why he has made such an impression with those deep blue eyes. He scored the highest marks for his eye position and came second for his eye spacing. He was marked down for his lips and the length and width of his nose.”
6. George Clooney – 89.9%
Dr Julian De Silva said: ““George Clooney is easily the oldest star on the list but he remains a stunningly attractive man with classical features in great proportion.
“There has been a loss of volume in his face and, inevitably, some sagging around the eyes.
“To still make the top ten at 63 is remarkable and is testament to his incredible natural good looks.”
7. Nicholas Hoult – 89.84%
Dr Julian De Silva said: “ Nicholas is best known for playing Hank McCoy in the X-men series and it is no surprise that he has taken Hollywood by storm after first emerging as a child star in About A Boy. He was very close to the top spot with a score of 95.8% for his eye position. He scored well in all categories except for the overall shape of his face with a score of 80%.”
8. Charles Melton – 88.46%
Dr Julian De Silva said: “Charles is best known for playing Reggie Mantle in hit TV series Riverdale. He has a Korean mother and an American father and this mixed race heritage gives him a particularly striking appearance. He scored very highly for his eye position and the length and width of his face but was marked down for the gap between his nose and upper lip.”
9. Idris Elba – 87.94%
Dr Julian De Silva said: “At 52, Idris is the third oldest man on the list but he is showing few signs of ageing and is in wonderful shape. He had the highest mark for his eye spacing with 98.9%. His beautifully sculpted chin missed the top spot by a whisker with a score of 98.5% but he was marked down due to the shape of his nose.”
10. Shah Rukh Khan – 86.76%
Dr Julian De Silva said: “The king of Bollywood has been one of India’s biggest stars for the last three decades. He is still striking looking at 58 and is ageing wonderfully. He scored very highly for his lips and wonderfully square chin but missed out on a higher position due to the shape of his nose.”
