According to one viral internet trend, it all comes down to facial proportions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a new feature, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Hollywood Reporter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/lifestyle\/lifestyle-news\/how-hollywoods-hottest-men-fare-looxmaxxing-scale-1236627316\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> put some of the entertainment industry&#8217;s biggest stars through the lens of &#8220;looksmaxxing,&#8221; an online movement that attempts to measure attractiveness using facial symmetry, jawlines, eye spacing, cheekbones and dozens of other physical ratios.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The publication&#8217;s rankings were inspired by the online looksmaxxing community popularized by streamer Clavicular, whose followers treat attractiveness &#8220;like an engineering problem&#8221; by assigning numerical values to facial measurements and producing an overall score out of 10.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to The Hollywood Reporter, actor Matt Bomer came out on top, with a face that most closely aligns with the movement&#8217;s idealized standards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Other stars receiving high marks included:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"mb-4\">\n<li class=\"ml-4 safari:ml-6 list-disc\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Brad Pitt: 9.5 (in his prime)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 safari:ml-6 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 safari:ml-6 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 safari:ml-6 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 safari:ml-6 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 safari:ml-6 list-disc\"\/><\/ul>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But The Hollywood Reporter also stressed that the internet&#8217;s beauty formula has limits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While looksmaxxing has expanded into a broader self-improvement trend focused on grooming, fitness and skincare, the publication notes its modern vocabulary originated in online incel and &#8220;manosphere&#8221; forums and has been criticized for promoting rigid, Eurocentric beauty standards and reducing attractiveness to measurable anatomy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Hollywood Reporter concludes, however, that Hollywood has long rewarded qualities no algorithm can measure, including confidence, charisma and screen presence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The publication argues that even stars who don&#8217;t perfectly fit the movement&#8217;s preferred facial proportions have become some of the industry&#8217;s biggest sex symbols because of qualities that go beyond geometry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
