We’ve known it for decades
but science has confirmed it: George Clooney is the most beautiful man in the
world, at least the world of celebrity.
London plastic surgeon Dr. Julian De Silva used the Golden Ratio to
measure the faces of male celebrities rating them on a scale of ten by their score
out of one hundred, with George Clooney at the top of the list with a score of
91.86. (But seriously, did we need science to tell us that? Just saying.)
So how do you measure beauty using math? The golden ratio, or divine proportion is an
ancient Greek mathematical equation based on “phi” or 1.618, where the sum of
two qualities is equal to the ratio of the quantity as a whole. Sounds greek to me, but generally it was used
by the ancient greeks as a way to measure symmetry which they found to be the
most perfect representation of beauty in relation to art, sculpture and
architecture. Ever noticed how ancient sculptures of greek gods are representations of perfect male specimens? Divine proportions indeed.
So does this theory hold true
to modern day beauty standards? Consider
the top ten list compiled by Dr. De Silva: no one would argue with the results,
although maybe personal preferences might rearrange the ranking order.
The Golden Ratio measures “beauty” based on symmetry which leaves out sexiness, personality, humor, or
expression, all of which add to a man’s appeal, so while a symmetrical face
might make a man beautiful it doesn’t replace a twinkle in the eye or an
off-kilter smile. Having such symmetry
may have a great effect on achieving success in the world of celebrity, as even
though most people are completely unaware of why they are attracted to a
celebrity’s facial beauty. It makes
leading men more telegenic and photogenic, which means more screen time. Of course a beautiful face won’t go far
without being backed up with serious acting or music skills. George Clooney and
the others in the top ten list have depth, charm, and talent, that combined
with their symmetrical good looks is a winning combination. But being handsome, certainly doesn't hurt career prospects.
The Golden Ratio is ageless
meaning the most beautiful male celebrity is 56 year old George Clooney, and we
agree. Can’t argue with science.
