Do you know Ryan Gosling, Gwyneth Paltrow or Jennifer Lawrence? So you should know these Handsome men below. We’ve put together our own list of Irish hotties who don't get enough credit. It’s a tough old job but someone has to do it.
Yes, Colin Farrell and Michael Fassbender are Ireland's reigning handsome devils, but these five Irishmen are just as good looking, put-together and talented, if not more so...
See the list after the cut...
1. Cillian Murphy
His windswept hair, his piercing blue eyes, his constant brooding expression – it may be a little cheesy, but we’re into it.
The County Cork native is a successful actor, both at home as a leading man in movies like “Intermission” and “The Wind that Shakes the Barley” and overseas as the “bad guy” in movies like “Batman Begins" and “Red Eye” and of course the massive hit “Inception”, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.
Whatever the role, we appreciate Cillian’s (pronounced KILL-ian’s) talent - and looks.
2. Jonathan Rhys Meyers
He may be a bit of a Colin Farrell-bad boy (he was arrested in 2007 on charges of public drunkenness and breach of the peace and has attended rehab more than once…), but this Dublin-born actor, singer and model is heads above the rest when it comes to Irish star quality.
He’s earned awards for his television work (for “The Tudors” and “Elvis"), critical acclaim for his film work (most notably for his role in the crazy-fantastic glam rock flick “Velvet Goldmine” and for his endearing part in the hit “Bend It Like Beckham” and is known as a talented singer and model, posing for the likes of Hugo Boss.
But if his talent isn’t enough to make you fall for him, keep in mind, he ain’t that bad looking either…
3. John Duddy
Our one and only sportsman that made the list. “The Derry Destroyer” may sound scary, but when you get a look at him, fear will be the last thing on your mind.
Ireland’s famous middleweight boxer is known in the States for his fights atMadison Square Garden, including his St. Patrick’s Day fight against Leonard Pierre – all of which he won.
He is also known for his rugged handsomeness. Duddy has won over fans with his athleticism, looks and his commitment to Irish immigration reform in the U.S; the boxer has attended numerous Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform meetings, and even entered the ring in March 2006 donning an ILIR t-shirt.
4. Stuart Townsend
Nooo, this is not just Charlize Theron’s ex-partner – this is the handsome face of one of Ireland’s gifted actor/directors and also a cast member of Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit”.
The dark-featured stud was first noticed overseas for his role of a seducer in 2000’s “About Adam,” and then as a vampire in 2002’s hit“Queen of the Damned,” which co-starred Aaliyah.

It’s his star power and good Irish looks that make this Howth, County Dublin native much more than Charlize’s former-arm candy…
5. Des Bishop
So technically he’s Irish American, but comedian Des Bishop is widely considered an honorary Irishman since he has lived in Ireland since he was 15, has created numerous Irish TV shows and is now fluent in Gaelic (and well on his way to mastering Mandarin).
Therefore, we feel justified in claiming him as one of our own and adding him to the list (his boyish good looks and great sense of humor didn’t hurt his chances either).
New York City-born Des is famous in Ireland for his hilarious comedy shows and his stand up (and for singing “Jump Around” in Gaelic – “Leim Thart”).
And next time you watch Jim Sheridan’s excellent film “In America,” keep on the lookout for a high as a kite, hip hopping Wall Street type – that’d be our Des!
