Robert Pattinson has been confirmed as the most attractive man in the world, according to science.
Twilight star Robert Pattinson has been named the world’s most handsome man based on a scientific analysis of facial perfection using the Golden Ratio.
His ranking has sparked widespread discussion and debate among fans.
“Couldn’t agree more this man is STUNNING,” one person pens.
“Science does not have all of the answers! This is proof of that fact,” agrees another.
A third questions: “There are billions of other guys in the world. If they haven’t seen them all, then how do they know he’s the most attractive?”
And Pattinson himself has responded to the accolade in an exclusive viral video.
The Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi dates back to the European Renaissance and is grounded in the ancient Greek study of aesthetics.
It has historically been used by artists and architects as a tool to create aesthetically pleasing works. Leonardo Da Vinci, for instance, applied this ratio to his famous drawing, the Vitruvian Man, which depicts the ‘perfect’ human male body, per Study.com.
Today, scientists have adapted this mathematical formula to determine what makes a person physically attractive.
The Golden Ratio is a mathematical formula that measures the proportions of various facial features.
The length and width of a person’s face are first measured, and the results are divided.
The closer these ratios are to the number 1.618 (Phi), the closer a face or body is to being ‘perfect.’
Facial measurements are taken from key points, including the forehead hairline to the space between the eyes, from there to the bottom of the nose, and from the nose to the chin.
The closer these measurements are in proportion, the more a person is considered attractive.
Additionally, facial symmetry and balance are analyzed. According to the Golden Ratio, beauty is defined by features such as the ear’s length matching the nose and the width of an eye equaling the distance between the eyes.
The ranking was created using advanced computer mapping techniques by Dr. Julian De Silva, a facial cosmetic surgeon from Harley Street.
Dr. De Silva, who heads the Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in London, uses this technology in his practice.
He tells MailOnline: “Robert Pattinson was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection.
“These brand new computer mapping techniques allow us to solve some of the mysteries of what it is that makes someone physically beautiful and the technology is useful when planning patients’ surgery.”
The British actor, known for his roles as Batman and Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise, has been rated 92.15% accurate in relation to the Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, a measure that is said to quantify physical perfection.
His eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw, and overall facial shape were analyzed and found to be closest to the ancient Greeks’ ideal of perfection.
Robert Pattinson claimed the top spot with a score of 92.15%, ranking among the top five for nearly all facial features, thanks to his classic facial structure and well-defined jawline.
However, his score dropped slightly due to his lips, which were considered somewhat thin and flat.
Henry Cavill followed closely in second place with a score of 91.64%. Dr. De Silva highlighted Cavill’s ‘perfect’ forehead and high marks for both his lips and forehead, though he lost points due to the spacing of his eyes.
Bradley Cooper secured third place with a score of 91.08%, excelling in eye positioning but receiving lower marks for his nose shape and overall facial structure.
Brad Pitt also made the list with a score of 90.51%, earning praise for his eye spacing but losing points for his nose shape.
Despite some natural signs of aging, George Clooney still ranked highly at 89.91%, though he slipped from his previous top position.
