British actor Aaron Johnson is one you definitely want to watch if you aren’t already, and we’re really digging this grungy-dirty-sexy thing he has going on. Would all men look like this if they stopped washing their hair as often? Nevermind. We didn’t ask that. Aaron Johnson, also known as Aaron Taylor-Johnson because he’s married and took his wife’s last name (true renaissance man), is a guy that’s been on my personal radar for years, with roles in films like ‘Kick-Ass’ and ‘Nowhere Boy.’ But the rest of the world finally seems to be coming around to how cute this guy is. He starred alongside Keira Knightley in last year’s adaptation of ‘Anna Karenina‘ as the dashing Count Vronsky, a dude with a mustache that should have been a big red flag to ol’ Anna, but I guess when you live in Russia, red flags are the jam. Johnson was so, so sexy in the movie — sexy enough that I overlooked the horrific scene in which Knightley LICKS HIS MUSTACHE. Gross. But I quickly got over my brief bout of nausea to continue appreciating his prettiness. Coming up next, you can see Johnson in ‘Kick-Ass 2‘ and ‘Godzilla.’ Or you can check out these sexy photos and hop on the bandwagon.

Oh blessed are we for we are receiving a new Leonardo DiCaprio movie! ‘The Great Gatsby‘ hits theaters next week, but why wait until then to swoon over Leo? Leonardo DiCaprio is a national treasure, a guy we’ve loved since he was on ‘Growing Pains,’ and who grew up to be quite the attractive young man. He stole our hearts in movies like ‘Romeo + Juliet’ and ‘Titanic,’ but then he decided he didn’t want to play your typical heartthrob roles anymore, so he got real with stuff like ‘The Departed,’ ‘Shutter Island,’ and ‘Inception.’ He’s definitely one of the most interesting and engaging actors working today, and is always selective about the roles he takes, working frequently with legendary director Martin Scorsese. But next week sees the release of ‘The Great Gatsby,’ a film in which DiCaprio reunites with his ‘Romeo + Juliet’ director Baz Luhrmann and everything comes full circle. This time around, Leo doesn’t seem to be playing a swoony cutie like Romeo — he’s more of a cad, this Gatsby guy, and he seems to have some pretty dark secrets. Let’s take a few minutes to admire the sexiness of this leading man who seems to only get more attractive with age — but don’t they all?

Things you’d never thought you’d hear but now you have: Lindsay Lohan‘s biographical comic book is now available.
