Top 10 Hottest Actors
Orlando Bloom :
Born in Canterbury, Kent, England on January 13, 1977, Orlando Bloom moved to London at 16 where he received an education in serious drama at the National Youth Theatre, later training at the British American Drama Academy before his final graduate studies at Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Shortly after graduation, Bloom returned to the stage where he was spotted by director Peter Jackson, who offered him the part of Legolas in a Lord of the Rings.
After appearing in the three-part epic blockbuster, Bloom subsequently took on high-profile roles in other major hits. They include Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down and an appearance alongside Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean.
The actor next co-starred with Brad Pitt in Troy and in the medieval crusade epic, Kingdom of Heaven.
He reprised his role in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in 2006 and is slated to appear in the final film in the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End opening in May 2007.
Leonardo Dicaprio:
Born in Hollywood, California on November 11, 1974 of German and Italian descent, DiCaprio's first brush with fame came when as a child he was kicked off the set of Romper Room for unruly behavior.
By 15 the fledgling actor already had his first agent, beginning a classic Hollywood battle against changing his style of clothes, his haircut and his name - to Lenny Williams.
Ultimately, DiCaprio forged ahead in his own style, and under his own name, and eventually won a notable recurring role on TV's Growing Pains.
His breakthrough film performance in This Boy's Life in 1993 won raves, as did his role a year later playing Johnny Depp's mentally retarded younger brother in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, resulting in the 19 year-old's first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
More notable performances followed, with the actor winning international recognition in William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet in 1996 and in the mega-hit, Titanic the following year.
He dominated the screen in 2002 with starring roles in both The Gangs of New York opposite Cameron Diaz and in Stephen Speilberg's Catch Me If You Can, playing the youngest criminal to ever land on the F.B.I.'s 10-most-wanted list.
The actor's next project earned lots of Oscar buzz in 2005, along with a Golden Globe award for Best Actor, for his starring role as eccentric millionaire Howard Hughes in The Aviator directed by Martin Scorsese.
In 2006-2007, DiCaprio also led nominees for Best Actor at the Critics' Choice Awards with a nod for his appearance in yet another Scorsese film, The Departed, as well as his lead role in the thriller Blood Diamond for which he was nominated Best Actor.
For the same two performances, he also competed against himself in the Golden Globe Awards. Most recently, his role in Blood Diamond also garnered nod for Best Actor at this year's Oscar Awards.
DiCaprio's next onscreen performance is in Revolutionary Road opposite his Titanic co-star, actress Kate Winslet, in which the two charismatic stars will play a married couple in 1950's post-war America.
Off screen, the Hollywood leading man is currently romantically linked to supermodel Bar Refaeli.
