Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been named the world’s most handsome man according to a study using ancient Greek beauty standards, the Evening Standard reports.

The facial features of the British star tipped by some to be the next James Bond were found to be 93.04 percent aligned with the Golden Ratio - a mathematical equation devised by the Greeks in an attempt to measure beauty.

Dr Julian De Silva, from the Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in London, used the Golden Ratio to identify the most attractive faces.

This ratio, which can be applied to various aspects of design, was famously used by Leonardo Da Vinci in his Vitruvian Man to depict the ideal human form.

The concept is that the closer the proportions of a face or body are to the number 1.618 (Phi), the more aesthetically pleasing they appear.

According to Dr De Silva’s findings, the British star’s combined measurements closely match the classical Greek ideal of perfection - and would make him the most handsome James Bond in the history of the role, scoring higher than Daniel Craig, Sean Connery and all the other stars rumoured to play the secret service agent.

Emily In Paris star Lucien Laviscount, came in second place, with a score of 92.41 per cent while Paul Mescal, star of Gladiator II, ranked third on the list of most handsome men with a score of 92.38 per cent, followed by Robert Pattinson (92.15 per cent) and Jack Lowden (90.33 per cent).

Several older stars also made the top 10, with George Clooney earning an impressive 89.9 per cent, securing him sixth place.
