The world is full of handsome men, but thanks to science, we now know who is the best looking of all of them.
A British doctor examined faces of famous guys and used the Greek Golden Ratio of 1.618, which for thousands of years many have considered to be the height of beauty, when comparing measurements of 12 different parts of their faces like their lips, nose, eyes, chin, forehead and more.
Science.

Really?
Guess that whole "eye of the beholder" thing doesn't apply..... https://t.co/QewnnqSAdN
What they learned is that George Clooney is the most handsome man on the planet. According to the doctor, "George had a near perfect ratio of nose to lip dimension of 99.6 per cent and his chin and eye spacing were almost perfect as well. Across the 12 key markers he had the highest combined score."
He's got good company. Rounding out the top ten are:
2. Bradley Cooper
3. Brad Pitt
4. Harry Styles
5. David Beckham
6. Will Smith
7. Idris Elba
8. Ryan Gosling
9. Zayn Malik
10. Jamie Foxx
Wondering how you rate against these hot faces? The Daily Mail laid out how you can find out, but be warned, there is math involved:
Take a picture of your face close up on your phone, don't smile and look straight forward and have your hair off your face. Print out the picture on a piece of paper.
Nose
Measure the length of the nose from its widest point at the nostril = Nose length.
Measure the width of the nose at its widest point = Nose width.
Divide the nose length by nose width = your nose ratio.
If bigger than 1.618 then divide 1.618 by your nose ratio
If smaller than 1.618 then divide your nose ratio by 1.618
That will give you your percentage score of Nose Phi score.
Eyebrows
Measure your eyebrow from the end nearest your nose to the arch in a straight line = Arch Length
Measure your eyebrow from the same end to the opposite tip in a straight line - Full Length
Divide the Full Length by the Arch Length = Eyebrow Ratio
If bigger than 1.618 then divide 1.618 by your Eyebrow ratio
If smaller than 1.618 then divide your Eyebrow ratio by 1.618
That will give you your percentage score of Eyebrow Phi score.
Lips
Measure the length of the lip from end to end = Lip Length
Divide Lip Length by Nose Width = 1.618 if perfect.
The distance from the corner of the lip to the opposite edge of the nose should also be equal to Base of Nose x 1.618.
