1. The Brothas Definitely Rule In 2018
Source:falseWho doesn’t like a little bit of eye candy? To satisfy your sweet tooth, the HelloBeautiful team put together this tantalizing list of some of the finest Black men in Hollywood. So from Idris to Denzel to Michael B, there is something for you, your auntie and the youngins. You can thank us later. xoxo
2. Idris Elba
Source:falseIdris is like a damn Armani suit—he never goes out of style. Why the award-winning Brit hasn’t played James Bond remains a mystery to us.
3. Denzel Washington
Source:falseHands down: At the ripe ol’ age of 63, the two-time Oscar winner can still make us swoon. “The Equalizer 2” star continues to show us that age is nothing but a number.
4. Michael B Jordan
Source:falseWe definitely got something the Killmonger actor can demolish! We can’t see to his ripped body flex in the upcoming film “Creed II.” Go B!
5. Chadwick Boseman
Source:falseThe “Black Panther” star didn’t just help break box office records with his talent, but also with his superhero smile and stellar physique. All I can say is, “My king, my king.”
6. Boris Kodjoe
Source:falseThe former “Soul Food” star is like an expensive fine wine—he just gets better with age. His equally beautiful wife Nicole Ari Parker is one lucky lady!
7. Drake
Source:falseWhether or not you think Drake’s corny, you can’t deny that that ever since he grew that beard, you’ve wanted it to get you pregnant. Listen: If Rihanna don’t want him, I’ll gladly take him in.
8. Morris Chestnut
Source:falseFrom “Boyz N The Hood” to “Rosewood,” Morris Chesnut has been blessing us with his tasty chocolate for almost 30 years. Thank you sir!
9. Kendrick Sampson
Source:falseKendrick Sampson, who plays our new fave “Lyft Bae,” is everything we need for the third season of “Insecure.” Not only is he fine, but he’s also politically active and an all-around nice guy.
10. LeBron James
Source:falseYes, LeBron may be a basketball star, but his beautiful self is also dabbling in Hollywood as a producer of multiple shows and films. That, and his anti-Trump activist stance definitely turns us on.
11. Larenz Tate
Source:falseWe’ve been lusting after the “Power” actor since “Menace 2 Society” and “Love Jones.” His smile alone can melt our heart. Tate is our treat.
12. Terry Crews
Source:falseThe 50-year-old “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star has a body for DAYS! Not to mention, his bravery in talking out about sexual assault and toxic masculinity is admirable. We wish more brothas were like him.
13. Safaree Samuels
Source:falseHB readers love the “Love & Hip Hop” star (and his eggplant) so much that y’all voted him our 2017’s sexiest man alive. Good job ladies.
14. Daniel Kaluuya
Source:falseFrom his sexy accent to his smooth chocolate skin, the British “Get Out” actor is everything! He was definitely robbed of the Oscar this year.
15. Mahershala Ali
Source:falseThe Oscar winner is the epitome of talent, class and beauty. We can’t wait to see him in the upcoming third season of HBO’s thriller “True Detective.”
16. Trevante Rhodes
Source:falseThe “Moonlight” and “Predator” actor is one of the finest men in the game: Point, blank, period. We just need more of Trevante in everything coming out in 2019.
17. Blair Underwood
Source:falseFrom “LA Law” to “Sex And The City,” for decades everyone’s auntie has loved them some Blair, and low key the youngins do too. Daddy Blair can STILL get it.
18. Jay Ellis
Source:falseWhether you are #TeamLawerence or #TeamDaniel, it cannot be denied that “Insecure” star Jay Ellis is one tall drink of water. Gulp, gulp, gulp.
19. Shemar Moore
Source:falseFrom “Young & The Restless” to “SWAT” Shemar Moore has been a sex symbol since the 90s. I could literally eat off of those 48-year-old abs. Bon appétit!
20. Will Smith
Source:falseAt 50-years-old, Will Smith just isn’t hilarious, but he’s fun, fine and super fit. Just peep his Instagram account. Man…we stay jealous of Jada.
21. Lenny Kravitz
Source:falseThe 54-year-old rocker can still get it. Maybe it’s his vegan diet that keeps Lenny so fine. Kale or tofu anyone?
22. Lance Gross
Source:falseThe “MacGyver” and “The Paynes” actor is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome. We see you boo, and like what we see!
23. Jesse Williams
Source:falseListen…we can stare into the eyes of the “Grey’s Anatomy” actor ALL DAMN DAY. Dayum Jesse.
24. Jeffrey Wright
Source:falseThe “Westworld” actor has been flying on gray beard Zaddy status for a minute…and we’re here for it!
25. Laz Alonso
Source:falseThe “Avatar” actor is plain fine. No explanation needed. We just need to see him in more things. Hollywood are you paying attention?
26. Lamman Rucker
Source:falseThe “Greenwood” actor is still out there impressing us every week with his smile, talent and broad built chest. PRAISE!
27. Tristan “Mack” Wilds
Source:falseThe “Shots Fired” might be a little young for some, but quite a cutie nonetheless!
28. Terrence Howard
Source:falseBaby wipes or not, the “Empire” patriarch is also another one we could gaze into their eyes forever. Much love Terrence.
29. Derek Luke
Source:falseThe “13 Reasons Why” actor has been stuck in our minds since 2002′ “Antoine Fisher,” and with good reason. Just look at him…FINE!
30. Sterling K. Brown
Source:falseThe “This Is Us” Emmy and Golden Globe winner is hands down one of the sexiest brothas on the small screen. That, and he’s one of the nicest. Who doesn’t love Sterling?!
31. Billy Brown
Source:falseAside from watching the Queen Viola Davis, one of the other main reasons I watch “How To Get Away With Murder” is just to see Billy Brown take of his shirt. What a glorious sight!
32. Barry Jenkins
Source:falseThe director of the upcoming film “If Beal Street Could Talk,” is not only uber talented, head of his time and brilliant, but Barry Jenkins is also fine as hell. End scene!
33. Kofi Siriboe
Source:falseAll we can say about the”Queen Sugar” and “Girls Trip” actor is…”What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty melanated man!”
34. Michael Ealy
Source:falseFrom “Being Mary Jane” to “The Perfect Guy,” Michael Ealy has always had the range and the good looks to be a leading man in our hearts.
35. Khary Payton
Source:falseOne of our favorite hotties on “The Walking Dead,” Khary Payton gives us our entire life. You know what they say…Whatever King Ezekiel wants, his highness gets.
36. Brandon P. Bell
Source:falseThe Netflix “Dear White People” star is hands down super yummy. Season 3 of the hit comedy can’t come soon enough.
37. Marque Richardson
Source:falseSpeaking of “Dear White People,” Brandon’s co-star Marque is equally tasty…and super talented. School is in session y’all.
38. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Source:falseLiterally the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, Dwayne Johnson deserves every penny of his money. Just look at his smile and 8-pack. Ching, ching!
39. John David Washington
Source:falseThe only father and son combo on our list…John David Washington is definitely walking in his father Denzel’s footsteps. From “Ballers” to “BlacKkKlansman,” the 34-year-old is on his way to becoming a bonafide leading man.
40. Y’lan Noel
Source:falseFrom “Insecure” to “The First Purge,” Y’lan Noel continues to prove that he’s the next real deal. That, and he’s sexy as hell.
41. Omari Hardwick
Source:falseThis “Power” star stays fine. Nothing else to say or see here. Carry on.
42. Common
Source:falseWhile his name may be Common, the Oscar winner and rapper is far from that. He’s a rare and beautiful specimen in our eyes.
43. Will Packer
Source:falseWill Packer is more than just a pretty face. The “Girls Trip” power producer is the man behind some of the biggest Black blockbusters to hit the theaters in the past decade. Talk about a triple threat.
44. Winston Duke
Source:falseThe Trinbagonian-American actor was the ultimate thirst trap as M’Buku in this year’s hit film “Black Panther.” All that thickness is our weakness!!!
45. William Jackson Harper
Source:falseIf you’re not watching NBC’s “The Good Place,” it’s not too late to become familiar with cutie William Jackson Harper and his role as Chidi. Just look at his buff chest. That’s heaven honey!
46. Ryan Coogler
Source:falseThe “Black Panther” and “Creed” director is not only a genius auteur, unapologetically Black and stays repping Oakland, but he is also easy on the eyes. Action!
