Taking the top spot is the iconic Bruce Willis for his role in Die Hard back in 1988.
The research, carried out by Slingo, ranked the Christmas movie heartthrob based on factors like facial features, social media popularity, and Google search trends.
The popular actor, who played John McClane in the film, received a 6.7 attractiveness rating in the movie, has a staggering 55 million searches on his name, and has amassed two million Instagram followers.
In second place, and surprisingly surpassing his co-star Jude Law in the same movie, is Jack Black for his role as Miles in The Holiday.
Known for playing Kate Winslet‘s love interest in the Christmas rom-com, Jack earned a strong 7.6 attractiveness score out of 10, has over 14 million social media followers and 42 million searches to his name overall.
Following closely behind is Hugh Grant with his role in Love Actually as the Prime Minister.
Fans can never get enough of him and Natalie’s love story in the movie and the stats show – Hugh had an attractiveness rating of 6.2 and a strong social media following.

And as if one wasn’t enough, Hugh secures a second spot on the list, with his character Daniel Cleaver in Bridget Jones’s Diary proving popular in fourth position.
Jude Law also secured fourth place as one of the most attractive heartthrobs after starring as Graham in The Holiday, which had an IMDb rating of 7.
Jude, who appeared alongside on-screen love interest Cameron Diaz, had 12 million searches and an attractiveness rating of 6.4 – but stays clear of any social media.
The actor with the highest attractiveness rating overall was Rodrigo Santoro with 8.5.

Rodrigo is most known for his role as Karl in Love Actually, who almost found love with Sarah, with her romanticising over him for ‘two years, seven months, three days and an hour and thirty minutes’.
Rodrigo’s co-stars Colin Firth and Bill Nighy weren’t far behind – as Firth had an attractiveness rating of 6.6, compared to a 6.7 during his stint in Bridget Jones.
Nighy, who famously played the role of musician Billy Mack, received 5.7.
