With a score of 93.04%, the latter would be close to perfection…
Mathematical formulas to calculate beauty? In any case, this is what plastic surgeon Dr. Julian De Silva sought to prove. Thanks to a very particular method, he would have identified the person considered “the most beautiful man in the world”. And it would be a famous actor. Thanks to an equation based on the “golden ratio”, he would have managed to analyze the male physical traits which, according to this theory, would embody aesthetic perfection. Note that the golden ratio is a mathematical rule that has been used for centuries to define ideal proportions. Whether in art, architecture or nature, this formula helps define harmonious beauty. Doctor Julian Da Silva therefore decided to apply it to beauty in men, by measuring criteria such as the distance between the eyes, the length of the nose, or even the symmetry of the face. In other words, it would here bring a scientific dimension to a concept considered subjective. Some find it amusing, while others see it as a way to promote outdated beauty standards.
This year, a British actor topped the rankings with an impressive score of 93.04% matching the golden ratio. He is slightly ahead of other personalities such as Lucien Laviscount and Paul Mescal, who obtained 92.41% and 92.38% respectively. This top trio is closely followed by Robert Pattinson, formerly in first place, with a score of 92.15%. So, who is this actor who won first place this year? This is Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Known for his roles in Kick-Ass, Nowhere Boy or even Nocturnal Animals, this British actor has never ceased to surprise with his performances in the cinema and his natural charisma. According to calculations, this year he is considered “the most handsome man in the world”.
However, some believe that this theory reflects beauty ideals that do not take into account the diversity and evolution of perceptions in today's society. Furthermore, beauty remains a matter of taste. What some people find perfect, others see differently. Despite everything, the plastic surgeon's analyzes continue to captivate, and many are curious to find out each year who will be named the most attractive new man.
