You voted, and the results of Total Film’s Sexiest Stars In Movies Right Now poll have been revealed.
You can see the list of your favourites laid out in full in issue 203 of Total Film magazine, which is available now on newsstands, iPads and Android devices.
Tom Hiddleston topped the men’s category, pipping the likes of Robert Pattinson and Ryan Gosling to the title.
Winning the vote by a sizeable margin, Hiddleston has amassed an army of fans since his meteoric breakout playing the deliciously despicable Loki in Thor and The Avengers. That he’s backed up those blockbuster turns with considered roles for some of today’s most respected directors (Midnight In Paris, The Deep Blue Sea, War Horse, Only Lovers Left Alive) hasn’t harmed his credentials one bit.
We spoke to Hiddleston to find out what he made of being voted your Sexiest Actor Right Now…
What's it like to beat the likes of Robert Pattinson, Brad Pitt and George Clooney to the title of Total Film's Sexiest Actor?
“It's insane. It basically doesn't make any sense. When I was a teenager, my sister had a poster of Brad Pitt from Legends Of The Fall on her bedroom wall. I also thought it was generally accepted that George Clooney was some kind of gold standard? And doesn't Robert Pattinson inspire mayhem and delirium wherever he goes?
“I suppose my question is: Are you sure? If you are sure, then I am very flattered. VERY. Thank you, ladies. You are women of impeccable taste and style. My god, you know how to make a man feel good.”
Could you have ever dreamt of inspiring so many hearts to flutter when you were growing up?
“Absolutely not. My sister used to say I had hair like a broom. She meant it in a nice way. In the nice way that sisters do. She was probably right. But sincerely, no.
“One of the great flaws that we all share is that we think everyone else is cooler, everyone else is sexier; everyone else has all the answers. That was me too.”
A dangerous edge is often equated with being sexy... which surely makes Loki super-hot! Do you think of him as devilishly attractive when you play him?
“No! I defer credit entirely to the hair and make-up department. I just play the character: his intellect; his lone wolf independence; his mischief. Mischief is danger, I suppose; mischief is edge.
“The strangely admirable thing about Loki is that he doesn't give a damn what anyone else thinks. I've always found that quality really sexy in women. Self-possession. Quiet confidence. An acceptance of difference. A certain... mischief. A sense that things could be a little "exciting". I think I should stop there!”
