Robert Pattinson has been confirmed as the most attractive man in the world, according to science.
People have had a lot to say about Pattinson’s ranking.
“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.’
Measurements are taken from various points on the face, including from the forehead hairline to the spot between the eyes, from the spot between the eyes to the bottom of the nose, and from the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the chin.
A person is considered more beautiful if these measurements are nearly equal.
Additionally, the symmetry and proportion of the face are examined.
For a person to be considered beautiful according to the Golden Ratio, the length of the ear must match the length of the nose, and the width of an eye should be equal to 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.
Pattinson topped the list, scoring 92.15%, and was in the top five for almost all facial features due to his classic facial shape and well-defined jawline.
However, his score dipped slightly due to his lips, which were deemed a bit thin and flat.
Henry Cavil secured the second spot with a score of 91.64%. Dr. De Silva noted Cavill’s ‘perfect’ forehead and high scores for his lips and forehead.
Despite these strengths, Cavill scored lower for the spacing of his eyes.
Bradley Cooper achieved a score of 91.08% and excelled particularly in the category of eye positioning.
However, he was marked down for the shape of his nose and overall facial structure.
Other notable mentions include Brad Pitt, who scored 90.51% and received praise for his eye spacing but was marked down for his nose shape.
George Clooney, although experiencing a slight decline from his top spot, still ranked highly at 89.91% despite some natural signs of aging
