Handsome men from the Emerald Isle

If you look at modern cinema, then perhaps 2/3 of all famous actors have Irish roots. For example, Mel Gibson was born into an Irish Catholic family, although he spent his entire childhood in Australia. Oscar winner and Hollywood sex symbol Matthew McConaughey has Irish relatives on his father's side. And the well-known George Clooney was raised in an Irish Catholic family, not to mention James Bond - Pierce Brosnan. In honor of the 64th birthday of everyone's favorite agent 007, ELLE recalls the most beautiful Irish people.

PIERCE BROSNAN

The fifth James Bond broke more than one girl's heart - both on screen and in real life. And although the actor is now over 60 and is the father of five children, this does not prevent him from still being one of the most attractive men in Ireland.

CILLIAN MURPHY

Farrell's peer Cillian Murphy perhaps has the most bottomless blue eyes in the world, so he rightfully ranks high on our list of "The Most Beautiful Irishmen." And despite this seemingly angelic look, the actor is able to transform not only into a woman (“Breakfast on Pluto”), but into a bloodthirsty maniac (“Batman Begins”).

ANDREW SCOTT

Another Irish “bad boy,” Andrew Scott, became famous for his role as Moriarty in the series based on the legendary detective series about Sherlock Holmes. The actor has a quite friendly appearance, but this does not prevent him from looking like the embodiment of universal evil on the screen.

MICHAEL FASSBENDER

Why do we love Michael Fassbender? Perhaps you can find a hundred answers to this question: for a red beard, a soulful look, a toned torso, charisma and, of course, remarkable acting talent. Generally speaking, the star of the movie “Steve Jobs” is on our list in a “semi-legal” position (his father is a purebred German). But the actor’s mother is the great-grandniece of the legendary revolutionary Michael Collins (the one who stood at the origins of the struggle for Irish independence), and this justifies Fassbender’s appearance among the most beautiful Irishmen.

JONATHAN RHYES-MYERS

There is something vicious about this brunette with blue eyes. Apparently, this is why Woody Allen invited Rhys Meyers to play the lead role in his film Match Point. It seems that this Irishman really has some kind of inexplicable vicious appeal. And the crown suits him incredibly well: even members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who twice nominated Jonathan for the Golden Globe for his role as Henry VIII in the series “The Tudors,” agree with his fans on this.

COLIN FARRELL

Well, who else besides Colin Farrell can form eyebrows like that? For this pitiful look of the cat from Shrek, we are even ready to forgive him for his unbridled personal life and the presence of several illegitimate children. Although, we must give the actor his due, he maintains relationships with all his children and takes a direct part in their upbringing.

STUART TOWNSEND

We must give Charlize Theron her due: she knows a lot about handsome men (remember, Stuart Townsend was in a civil marriage with the actress for more than 8 years). And although, unlike most of the residents on our list, he does not have sky blue eyes, this does not make his gaze any less charming and attractive.

JAMIE DORNAN

Among the most beautiful sexual maniacs on the planet (remember the series “The Fall”), first place rightfully belongs to the former model, and now a permanent participant in the most frank girlish dreams, Jamie Dornan.

LIAM NEESON

Fans of the actor were practically not surprised when rumors appeared online about a possible romance between 63-year-old Liam Neeson and 25-year-old Twilight star Kristen Stewart. And all because the Irishman has the energy of a real man, which only intensifies with age.

In the world, it has become a kind of Irish day, so in completely different parts of the world on St. Patrick’s Day you can meet large and noisy groups of people dressed in green clothes. Mandatory additions include leprechauns, bags of gold, three-leaf clovers and, of course, the famous Irish beer. But Ireland is famous not only for cheerful processions, dances, songs and strong drinks. This is the homeland of beautiful, sexy and also talented actors and actresses.

ROBERT SHEEHAN

Actor Robert Sheehan is known to most for his role as Nathan in the TV series Misfits. Now the cutie is already 30, but one gets the feeling that the actor is either drinking the blood of virgins, or has made a pact with the devil, because this young man looks to be at most 20 years old. The actor is currently filming the series “Genius”, and very soon two new films will be released with him.

LIAM NEESON

Born in Northern Ireland, Liam even became an actor for the sake of a woman: he accepted an offer to play the main role in a school play because of a girl he really liked. During his career, the favorite of the fair sex played many cool roles in equally cool films: “Schindler’s List”, “Rob Roy”, “Unknown”, “Hostage”, “Air Marshal”, etc. Now Neeson is 65, but he is like a good man wine only becomes more attractive and charismatic over the years. In addition, the actor is an officer of the Order of the British Empire.

MICHAEL FASSBENDER

Michael is a fiery mixture of German prudence and Irish recklessness. The mixture of blood gave him not only an unusual character, but also a beautiful appearance. Last year, the actor celebrated his 40th birthday, and his cinematic career is only going uphill: over the past four years, he has been nominated for an Oscar twice, but has not yet managed to win the coveted award. But there is no doubt: talent, coupled with sexuality and charisma, will sooner or later bring Michael Fassbender the much-desired reward.

JAMES DORNAN

Now James is known to the whole world as Christian Gray, the billionaire from the film “Fifty Shades of Grey,” but Dornan did not start out in films at all. He was a model for many famous brands (Calvin Klein, Dior, Armani), and was a member of the musical group Sons of Jim. In general, James is an ideal example of a sexy handsome man, who can also play the guitar and take stylish pictures. However, the 35-year-old sex symbol has been happily married to English actress Amelia Warner for five years, so James’ fans can only bite their elbows with resentment.

MEL GIBSON

62-year-old Mel Gibson is a true citizen of the world. He has two citizenships: American and Australian. In addition, the actor has Irish roots. The handsome Irishman got into film absolutely by accident: his sister, and Mel, by the way, is the sixth child in a family of 11, forced him to audition. But the day before, Mel Gibson got into a big fight, which is why he showed up to the casting in less than desirable shape. But it turned out that the producers were just looking for a guy who would look photogenic, despite the signs of beatings on his face. Mel Gibson not only grew up in a large family, but is also the father of as many as nine children.

CILLIAN MURPHY

Cillian Murphy is rightfully considered one of the most handsome Irish actors. He is 41 years old, does not eat meat and is friends with another sexy Irishman - Colin Farrell.

More than one thousand spectators have already fallen in love with Killian’s incredible blue eyes. Although Murphy has been married to Irish artist Yvonne McGuinness for 14 years and has two sons. But in addition to his charming appearance, Murphy also has acting talent, which has been noted more than once by film critics. At the age of 16, Killian accidentally took a drama class, after which he clearly decided that he wanted to devote himself to the film industry.

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY

Matthew McConaughey's career can be divided into two stages. The first was a comedy, when a young and hot young man starred in funny and light films, which is why many experts from the world of cinema did not take him seriously. The second is the transition to major dramatic roles. In recent years, Matthew has achieved real recognition: in 2014, he received an Oscar for his role in the film Dallas Buyers Club. The 48-year-old actor is married to Brazilian model Cameli Alves and is the happy father of three children.

TOM HARDY

Irish on his mother's side, included in all lists of the sexiest actors in the world. His brutality combined with beautiful facial features and toned body make girls all over the world go crazy. His acting career is developing by leaps and bounds; he has already been nominated for an Oscar for his role in the film The Revenant. Tom is currently filming the series Taboo and several films, which is why his schedule is full for the next few years. He loves dogs madly, but is very afraid of horses.

COLIN FARRELL

All of the actors listed above are handsome, charming and girls really like them, but there is still one who always comes to mind when the phrase “sexiest Irishman” comes to mind. We are, of course, talking about. In movies, the actor often plays bad guys, but in life he is just like that: he was kicked out of school for beating up a teacher who caught a young man sleeping in class. And in 2005, Colin voluntarily went to the clinic to recover from his addiction to painkillers.

Colin's beauty was recognized not only by fans, but also by various magazines and awards. Thus, People magazine three times included Farrell in the list of the fifty most beautiful people on Earth, and Company magazine determined that the Irishman’s sexuality ranks sixth.

ROSE MCGOWAN

The beauty of the famous Paige from “Charmed” forced even the most brutal men to watch the series. Although Rose was born in Florence and is a US citizen, she is of Irish and French heritage. McGowan has played in many films, but in recent years her name has appeared on the front pages of the press for completely different reasons: first, Rose became one of the first actresses to publicly speak out against Harvey Weinstein, accusing him not only of sexual harassment, but also of rape. After this, Rose herself was accused of possession and use of drugs, but so far it has not been possible to prove the actress’s guilt. Rumor has it that the drug case is some kind of revenge from Harvey Weinstein. All that remains is to wish the 44-year-old sexy Irish woman to sort out all the problems and quickly begin to delight the audience again with new roles.

OLIVIA WILDE

If the first place among sexy Irish actors belongs, undoubtedly, to Colin Farrell, among actresses the list should be headed by one who has Irish and American citizenship. Olivia is the granddaughter of the famous novelist Claude Cowburn. The actress became famous after her role as Thirteen in the cult TV series House. Olivia is a vegetarian and regularly speaks at various animal welfare events. The actress’s sexuality is highly appreciated not only by her fans, but also by Maxim magazine, which has already included Olivia Wilde in the top 100 hottest girls in the world five times.

Now the actress is 48 years old, but this absolutely does not prevent her from still being a sexy and stunning lady.

ANN HATAWAY

The bottomless eyes, beautiful facial features and sexy figure of this American actress will make even the most unsuccessful film profitable - the male half of humanity will still watch to admire the incomparable one. Although she doesn't star in bad films. Anne is Irish on her mother's side, although her father also has Irish ancestry.

By the way, Anne might not have become an actress, since she was raised in a strict Catholic family, which is why she dreamed of the life of a nun. However, she sharply revised her views when it turned out that her older brother was gay. In March 2016, the 35-year-old actress became a mother for the first time, giving birth to a boy.
