Henry Cavill, a British actor known for his striking looks, has lost his title as the most handsome man in the world.
A recent survey conducted by the TC Candler website, which relies on public opinion, has crowned a new victor, sparking mixed reactions on social media.
The throne of handsomeness has been claimed by Kim Nam-joon, a K-Pop singer and the leader of BTS. Known by his stage name RM, this 27-year-old artist hailing from Seoul, South Korea, has garnered adoration from fans worldwide.
His appeal extends beyond his musical talent, as he is recognized for his charisma and endearing personality. Not confined to his role in BTS, RM has also ventured into solo work, demonstrating his skills as a dancer and singer with the release of his mixtapes, "RM" in 2015 and "Mono" in 2018.
Currently occupying the third and fourth places on the list are Bradley Cooper and Brad Pitt, with the fifth spot claimed by George Clooney.
The survey results have triggered a flurry of reactions on social media. While some are delighted with the outcome, others have voiced skepticism and criticized the survey as fraudulent. However, it's important to note that the TC Candler results are preliminary and not final, with the official ranking set to be unveiled in December.
As for Henry Cavill, he remains focused on his acting career. Currently, he is busy filming the third season of "The Witcher," a Netflix series in which he plays the lead role. There have also been recent speculations about his return as Superman in the DC Extended Cinematic Universe.
This is not the first time Cavill has been dethroned from the title of the world's most handsome man. In 2020, he was relegated to second place, with British actor Robert Pattinson taking the top spot. The results in that instance were determined by a golden ratio analysis conducted by plastic surgeon Julian De Silva, with the rankings as follows: Robert Pattinson (92.15%), Henry Cavill (91.64%), Bradley Cooper (91.08%), Brad Pitt (90.51%), and George Clooney (89.91%).
