When casting for the Thor franchise, the producers needed to find someone who looks like a god to play a god. Then they found Chris Hemsworth and all was well with the world.
Those fine Hemsworth genes, as well as a talent for acting, run in the family, as Chris’s two brothers are also not bad to look at and have on-screen careers.
Harry Belafonte
Best known for singing “The Banana Boat Song” Belafonte wass a diverse musical artist, venturing into blues, folk, gospel, show tunes, and American standards.
He also had a brief acting career, with roles in the musical Carmen Jones as well as in Island in the Sun. Other than being a wonderful singer, Belafonte was a keen social rights activist, and was, in fact, one of Martin Luther King Jr.’s close friends.
David Beckham
The international football superstar and his popstar-turned luxe fashion designer wife have been married for more than 20 years!
The two have four beautiful kids together, which makes us happy knowing those genes are going places, but also sad knowing no one else will have a shot with David anytime soon.
Harrison Ford
When he landed Han Solo on Star Wars, who knew he’d become an American demigod? Harrison Ford is a legend. Every dude wanted to be cool like him. Every gal swooned in the presence of the silver screen king.
A collective sigh released when Princess Leia finally broke the romantic tension by kissing him in The Empire Strikes Back.
Henry Golding
Henry Golding’s face is one that stands out. Not only because of his perfect bone structure, but because you don’t see a lot of Malaysians acting in Hollywood.
If we are to judge by Golding and his appearance in The Gentleman or Crazy Rich Asians, Malaysia is about to jump to the top of our bucket list.
