Narnian Men Make Empire’s ‘100 Sexiest’ List
Posted October 19, 2009 10:44 pm by fantasia_kitty
EmpireOnline has listed the 100 Sexiest Movie Stars of all time on their website. Two of Narnia’s leading men have made that list: Ben Barnes coming in at #38 (here) and James McAvoy at #9 (here). Just as a side warning, if you read the full list, there is a lot of bad language to be aware of. Thanks to 220ChrisTian re:AslansCountry.com for the heads-up!
Hahahahahahahahah.
Go Narnia?
Um, I guess that’s good? Although I think all these "sexiest men" lists are kind of dumb. Ben and James are handsome, though.
well, if it was "the most talented list", you’ll have to get rid of the Twilight and HSM fodder, pretty boy models passing themselves off as actors, and you’ll be left with a handful of Englishmen, a couple of Americans and Australians and mostly dead actors 😀
lol That’s so true. Sad, but totally true! 😛
Yuck. Anyway who for crying out loud is James?
James McAvoy? Why, that’s Mr. Tumnus! 🙂
ya
OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…Thank you. =D
What I want to know is…what does "sexy" have to do with anything? I mean, it just proves that the world is more concerned with lust and all that rather than actual acting talent!
agreed.
That’s what I think too.
It’s Junk. I’ll never understand some people. I guess it’s good people like them, but not for THAT.
I think you are very right.I saw the word ‘sexy’ here and I was thinking,um,why do they have to drag THIS to Narnia?
it’s sad, our world. And I’m VERY disapointed in Narniaweb for posting this article!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) is 13th.
Woohoo! I love him he is the best in LOTR!
swee
WOW!! My older sister met him. =D Nk
Your kidding!?! I wanna meet him… 😀
*grins* nope but it is really wierd. =D I actualy had a crush on her. nk. I hope you meet him someday!
WOW Viggo #13! woot! and i am jealous she go to meet him… 😛
go James McAvoy!
YIKES!!! NO NO NO NO!! I MENT HE…had a crush on her not ME!!!!!!!! YIPESSS. DOUBLE SORRY!!!!!!
Cracks up. S’okay. 🙂
*secretly laughs at Me Sa U Sa.
But really, I understand.Grammer errors.:0
THANK YOU!!!!! Whoooooo. =D
Maybe this is just my..um..own opinion, but I don’t think Ben should have made it at all. Haha, I am probably going to get like a ton of hate comments back now. I just don’t think he is that good looking. 😀
Oh, it might be the fact that I thnk he has beady little black eyes. Hehehe.
actually Ben has dark brown eyes, not black. i dont think any human does. its not part of the normal genetic database.
and i thought his eyes are his best features, goes well with his fair yet masculine face.
Narnia 4 ever
yeah I think he didn’t deserve to be on it. There are alot "sexier" guys. What about skander and will? 😛 THese lists are so annoying and dumb…
PUT SKANDAR AND WILL ON THE LIST!!!
Put Will on the list!!!!!!!
I COMPLETELY AGREE! WILL SHOULD BE #1 AND SKANDAR #2!!!!!
Um….
*under breath* You people are not creepy…not creepy…
Yes. I am glad you agree with me. =D
I actually agree with you.
Gosh,I just did a stupid thing;I started writing my comment in the space where you write your user name!!!he,he. 🙂
Anyway,I agree with you people,too.I didn’t know there was this many people NOT crazy about his looks.Anyway,I’m not someone to fawn over somebody’s looks. 🙂
Also,not to sound mean or anything but it is kind of funny to think that we were waiting for news so long and now here we are,fighting about the meaning of ‘hot’ and ‘sexy’ and arguing about who should and shouldn’t have been on this list!!!! 🙂
Yeah, we narnia fans get desperate when we’re bored. 😉
Ok… This Is kinda… like… good I guess?
Is this a good thing? Not sure I want Narnia know as well…that.
And Ben Barnes? Come on! If you’re going to stoup so low as to have a list,couldn’t you put hundsomer guys one it?
well Rob Pattinson is #2…… yeah, you’re right. that definitely proves thats this is a lousy list.
he is NOT very good looking to me. -_-
hence why its a lousy list 😉
with all due respects to Mr Pattinson, he has looks, but no match to rival the likes of Depp, Bale, Pitt or Jackman. and it takes more than a truckloads of screaming girls to be a powerplayer the likes of RDJ, Rickman and the other gents already mentioned. what Pattinson has is ridiculous current popularity which almost always equals to more $$$$$ (which for the studios, is all that matters). i wish i could say that he has talent that makes up for his somewhat average looks– the way (truthfully) McAvoy is– but he’s short on that also.
i’m not saying that Pattinson doesnt belong to the list, his immense popularity is proof alone that he should figure in there. but he doesnt really deserve to place that highly, at spot #2, or anywhere on the top 10 even (and to be fair, neither should McAvoy be at #9 either). i always thought that the top 10 belongs to the powerplayers, and the next 10 belongs to the most promising up and comers. Pattinson is a promising up and comer, but so is Ben Barnes and James McAvoy.
ha ha nice one ^^ i like you
I totally agree with you about Ben! But what about Skandar I mean I thought most people were nuts about him on here and nobody’s mention him:(
Oh and JadistarkilleR i also agree with you on Rob Pattinson!
P.S i LOVE Lloyd Daniels!!!
Maybe Skander isn’t on there because technically he’s not an adult yet…I didn’t look at the rest of the list, so then again, I might be wrong.
Silver: Skandar turned 18 on September 5 this year. So he’s now an adult. 😉
Skandar is NOT sexy! Don’t ever say that again! And i don’t like these contests about "sexy" stuff. Especially on a site that I love to go to. If you’re like me, you’d start gagging and asking God to help this world get into a cleaner godlier place. I am RELLY upset with any christian here who thinks this is good news. I wish this were a chritain narnia site. so this would be a much better Narniaweb. If any Christian is reading this, please pray with me about the world becoming a more better place like Jesus. This is really disturbing.
WillMaSc: I agree with you. These are people, not objects for anyone’s lust. But no one said Skandar was "sexy." So I’m not sure where this is coming from. Btw, why the username? 😉
200chrisTain, read Nanria is My life’s comment that I just commented on. She(or he) said that Skandar should’ve been on the list. And my name? Well(laughs)! I obviously have a crush on them 🙂 !!
But don’t take me wrong! I am not one of those girls who like to talk about how sexy they are and other weird stuff like that. I’m just trying to prove to the world that they are hot.
Well, she(or he) didn’t say he should’ve been on the list. Sorry, my apologizies.But everyone is saying, "what about Skandar? What about William?" That sort of things. Sorry, Narnia is my Life. I mistook you for saying something. Do apologize!
give Skandar some time, he *just* turned 18 after all. also, these may be trivial lists, but they do reflect the public’s consciousness about an actor and the projects they are involved in, not just that they’re good looking. if Skandar is really gonna be serious about his career– say the way Ben is serious about his– give it a few years and Skandar will be on the lists like these. i can (almost) guarantee it 😉
WillMaSc:
Hm, very interesting. You just stated that you weren’t the type of girl who talked about how "sexy" Will and Skandar were… and then right after that you say you want to prove how "hot they are".
In my opinion, "hot" and "sexy" are pretty much the same.
Anyways. I couldn’t care less about this article. Pretty dumb in my opinion. :p
Could you explain how you can say this list is bad and shows how "horrible" the world is, but calling Will and Skandar hot and talking about crushing on them is different? "Hot" and "Sexy" mean the exact same thing.
wow williammosleyandskandarcrush thats the last thingI expected from you.
WilliamMoselyandSkandarCrush, I feel the same way. I mean, what is this world coming to? Especially when people are more concerned with how the actors look and how lustful they make them feel, rather than being concerned about how talented they actually are!
BTW, I think it’s quite hilarious that we’ve been so starved for news that when we do get some we end up discussing the exact definition of "sexy" and "hot"…
WOW! Good Debate. But, I also agree about how stupid is it to have the *sexy* list. it is absolute down right p-a-t-h-e-t-i-c
Wow I didn’t think by posting that comment it would make such a fuss!
I’m really sorry if anyone is offended by it and I totally agree with WillMoseleyandSkandarcrush about the whole “sexy” thing I mean it’s not that important news and for kids under 9 I don’t think it is suitable but oh well!
Again I’m really sorry but it is kind of funny that because I said one thing over 16 people have posted about it!
From NarinaIsMyLife
P.S I’m a girl!!
I have to agree, I think saying someone is "hot" is pretty much the same as sexy. Did you really mean good looking? I think that is an ok way of saying you like someone’s looks. 🙂
Sorry to dissapoint you and all, but sexy IS hot. have you heard of words that mean the same think (can’t remember the long word. Maybe synonyms?) Well, that is what hot and sexy are. I would side with you, but that sort of bothers me when you say that (okay…it bothers me a lot.) I’m just stating my opinion, and am not trying to be mean, please don’t take it as an attack.
Hot and Sexy r NOT the same. I repeat: NOT the same. I’m serious. They have two different meanings. Hot means: good-looking
Sexy: well. I’m not even going to try to explain. I agree with WillMoseleyandSkandarcrush.
Hot and Sexy are the same!
Wow, this is a lame debate. And on Narnia web it’s funny we’re debating about THIS!
Look them up in the websters Dictionary! I shall settle this once and for all!
"Hot- a reletively high temperature"… oops, wrong context. Hot: Oh my! "HoT- sexually( I am NOT going to put the rest in hear!) also: sexy." They use the word sexy. Look if you don’t beleive me. there. I believe we’re done. 🙂
I checked Urban Dictionary to see if someone revised the modern English language while I wasn’t paying attention. Guess what! "Hot" and "sexy" still mean the same thing. 😛
Yeah.
I think whether someone is good-looking or not is a matter of opinion. And I also think that "sexy" is a bad way to describe someone. It’s just my opinion, but why can’t they use a different word? Oh well.
"I also think that ‘sexy’ is a bad way to describe someone. It’s just my opinion, but why can’t they use a different word?" … AMEN! 🙁
I agree. I’ll admit if a guy is good looking,I’ll say the same about girls too. But I don’t like to think of them as…sexy. It just sounds wrong and shows ether bad training and/or perverted thinking. Not what I want to be.
I think it’s rather hilarious that we’ve been so starved for news that when we do get some we end up talking about the exact definition of "sexy"…
Haha! I agree Fire Fairy.
Ha ha ha very funny! 😀
for me Ben is the best ever he should have been first and rob pattinson is rubbish (sorry for that but its true) ben should have been first!
truth needs no apologies 😉
It may be "true" to you, but it is also just your opinion. It isn’t a fact to everyone. 🙂
Robert Pattinson has his cute moments(like when he actually showers lol)but I just don’t think he should be number 2…
Fangirl moment: YAY JAMES MCAVOY!!!!!!
Back to normal: That’s cool, maybe this will help boost ratings for vdt?
lol 🙂
I think it’s pretty stupid. Hopefully some good will come of it and at least boost the ratings.
Why is it stupid? Just because people think these men are good looking? That’s cool that they are being honored. Don’t be such a Puddleglum.
*tries to be optimistic* 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙁 Nooo!
I’ll try to be a bit more optimistic about the whole thing. About the honor thing though- I wouldn’t use the word ‘honor’ to describe sexy lists.
This may stupid, but who’s James McAvoy? 🙂 I haven’t heard his name before. Is that bad? And I don’t know if I should think this news is good, bad, or neather! 🙂
Mr. Tumnus
Oh! Okay, thank you!
Narnia Lover: McAvoy was also in Atonement (2007) and Becoming Jane (2007). IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0564215/
I say that James was REALLY good in "Becoming Jane."
I agree. Becoming Jane is one of my favorite movies that he is in. Although Penelope was really good too.
Narnia gave James McAvoy his big mainstream break. however, it was Wanted that made him a household name.
here’s hoping that a certain movie set in Middle Earth would make him a legend 🙂
Haha, ditto.
Yes! James Mcavoy for Bilbo!!!!
Quite a selection. Some of my favorites made it.
Ahahahahaha xDDD 100 Sexiest Men list? Wow.
100 sexiest actors– 50 men and 50 women.
Oh whoops! Haha.
Why not Will Mosley and Skandar keynes? LOL just kidding.But they are list worthy^^LOL
William M and Skandar has to be in other distinguishing projects other than Narnia. its a big reason why James and Ben made it to the list– they’re known for other roles other than their Narnia stint.
Oh I guess that makes sense.^^
Haha. Lists like these are always so subjective (not to mention silly)…but the fangirl side of me thinks it’s pretty cool that Ben and Viggo are both on it.
I might just have to use that against you,;)
Ha ha ha. That’s real funny
uh, is that good, or not? I’m not sure.
I ♥ James and Ben, though.
But Skander should’ve totaly been on that list! And Will!
Just curious, since I’m not allowed on sites like that, who is #1? And is Mark Hammil or Harison Ford or Hayden Christensen on the list?(I ♥ star wars ;))
Johnny Depp is #1 on the sexiest list for men, Megan Fox is #1 for the women’s list.
and Star Wars fans have much to rejoice, since the list also has Harrison Ford, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman and Kiera Knightley ranking in the top 100.
Man, Hayden Christensen should have totally been on that list, he is gorgeous!
indeed, but Hayden needs to diversify his roles, get a bit more high profile work and not just indy/ ensemble ones. unfortunately lists like these arent just for aesthetics, truth to be told its a powerplay list. notice how everybody in the top 10 are hollywood power players with clout, nevermind the fact that they’re not really that good looking. thats the reality of it. James Franco is no more good looking or more talented than Hayden, yet he’s on the list. thts because James has had a lucky streak of films, if not some really distinguishable indies, they’re tantalizing Oscar baits.
Jonny DEPP!!! you got to be kidding me. He has turned in to a total jerk. anyway. WHOOOOOOOOHHHHHOOOOOO I love star wars movie.
lollollol. Who would’ve thought on narnia web we’d be discussing good looking men who have NO RELATION TO NARNIA WHATSOEVER. Hint, hint. Please stop.
CORRECTION: My last post was based on on a skim of the posts. Please ignore it and if possible delete it.
WHO CARES ABOUT JOHNNY DEPP?!?!? I certainly don’t. You know, he’s really not that cute. Bit I never really look at those lists. Thakns narniaweb for tellin us bout the language stuff. Really appreciate it.
Why is Narniaweb posting this, STOP!
It’s Narnia-related news [updates on former and current Narnia cast], whether or not we like it. 😉
I never get these lists. It’s just nonsenense to me.
me too, and to me it’s just plain yuck.
What is with all these people posting the question "Is this good?" Heck, yeah, this is good. This is really good publicity for Narnia, and honestly just chill with the whole "sexy" thing. I mean they’re are attractive and they’re in the acting business so we can’t expect them not to be noticed. And just a side note: Jame Mcavoy is freaking amazing!!!
Nice 🙂 But wut about Skandy? Lol
those lists are stupid o.0
So, what’s the point of this anyway? Most of those guys don’t even look that great anyway.
okay that’s…odd. Not sure what reaction I should have to that…erm….aaaawkwaaaaard…
azmfnbf
ahh! that comment was an accident sorry, how do I delete it? :s
I honestly don’t have a clue. 😉 sorry.
I still would have chose Will and Skandar, but we had no say in it did we? Congrats to Ben and James!!
ugh how is this news. if i had to agree with anybody i’d vote for james mcavoy, but i’m not that type of girl :p
Oh please people GET A LIFE!! What is so disturbing about this list?!?! It’s fun!! And two of my favorite actors are on it…Ben Barnes AND James McAvoy…woooho!!! It is "Narnia related" after all, it’s just a fun post!! GET OVER IT!!
No,don’t you get it? There’s so little real news that we’re all starved for something other than the MLG.
And there is the moral aspect also…
Sorry if I’ve offended anybody with my pessimistic attitude. I just have a hard time seeing why we should care about who’s "sexy" and who’s not. I’ve always preferred to base my opinion off the talent of the actor, not on how they look. But still, I think it’s rather funny that so many people like certain actors because they look "hot", even if they have no acting talent whatsoever. (Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying none of these actors have talent. In fact, most of them are probably excellent actors. I just think we should focus on acting talent rather than looks).
I definitely agree. 🙂
"oh please people GET A LIFE! These things are fun!"
YOU may think it is. You stated your opinion, so I hope you won’t mind when I state mine and say these lists are absolutely ridiculous. I’m not saying it’s particarally BAD for Narnia, I’ve been wanting news for a long time on the movie, but this… I don’t see how it’s ‘fun’, could you tell me why you think so? I don’t really understand why they are.
Oh, and you can have your own opinion, but anyone (and I empathsize anyone) would know why some of us don’t like this. i mean, it’s all over the page on the web you’re staring at right now. The moral aspect is horrible, I am a Christain and I really don’t think these lists are right.
I agree, totally!
And if anyone read my post where I said I wasn’t sure if this was good or bad, I changed my mind. It’s RIDUCULAS and personly, I think it’s kinda gross. 😛
Oh, and by the way, I do have a life.
So do I.
Why don’t we just drop this instead of getting down each other’s throats? Obviously you either like it or you don’t. There’s no point in getting after other people who think the opposite of what you do. (And I’m not getting after you, Voice of Truth. I think we’ve all, including me, been very touchy about this entire subject).
Well even though these contests are pretty dumb they should at least put good looking guys Robert Pattinson is not good looking, and Zac Efron looks like a donkey in my opinion. So this is not narnia news,
It IS Narnia-related news. Why? Both current and former Narnia cast members are in the list! But being Narnia-related is why it appears in "Word on the street" instead of "Narnia movie news." 😉
HAHAHAHAHA
Oh man, Mr. Tumnus on the 100 sexiest list. That’s so funny/weird.
He’s in lots of other movies (and was nominated for best kiss once) so most people don’t know he played a faun. But I know what you mean.
BEST KISS!!!! OH for crying out loud! That….that….that… is abousolutly grose!! I never want to be kissed in my life!
I’m just reporting the facts!
oh la la thats great and i like the movies better than the books and i love reading and thats also sad because im a writer
I can’t understand what you’re saying that well….
i guess thats pretty cool. but i just have one question… WHY ISN’T WILLIAM MOSELEY ON THE LIST???
Probably because right now he is busy.
Haha..what about William and Skandar? 🙂
GO BEN!
Wow. I never thought I’d find somethng like this here…
Well, congratulations I guess to James and Ben. I’ll refrain from any fangurly comments on who should’ve made what and who’s hottest, because it doesn’t really matter. But seriously I think the real award should go to our faithful NarniaWebbers, who search out EVERY BIT of slightly Narnia related information and post it regardless of all the haters they’ll get. Thanks, guys. This and it’s comments has been a most amusing read. *snicker*
Ok… Yeah this just goes to show how screwed up this world is! How do you think you’d feel if one day you woke up and found out that you were on the "100 SEXYIST WOMEN LIST!!!!!" yes Booky the 5 exlamation marks are a sign of an insane mind CAUSE I APPARENTLY ARE INSANE! *Ramble* of course you weirdos who worship actors wish you were on that list CREEPERS!
*this post is exlusive property of Little Joe, AKA: Narnianerd*
GOOD NIGHT WORLD!
I have to agree that the list is stupid! I may like Ben but that doesn’t mean I think he should be on this list! I’m Chrishtion! We don’t like these types of things! And I would feel descusted if I was on the "100 Sexyist List"! I think it’s tarible to rate people like that! I don’t think such a list sould ever be!
go ben and james.but i would have liked more if skandar and will would’ve madeit lol.im more of a skandar type of girl.if u know what i mean.lol
Well thats not weird at all
