“What makes Aaron so exceptional is the overall shape of his face, which with a score of 99.2% is only 0.8% off being perfect,” the cosmetic surgeon found. The list was compiled using computer mapping techniques.
“The width and length of his nose is almost perfect, too, at 98.8%.

“All his scores were strong except for his eye spacing at 89%, the gap between his nose and lip (89.6%) and his lips (86%).”
The actor, a frontrunner to assume the role of 007 in the upcoming James Bond film, scored higher than other performers who have played the secret service agent before, such as Sean Connery (89.2%), Roger Moore (88.8%), and Daniel Craig (84.2%).

Meanwhile, Twilight actor Robert Pattinson ranked fourth on the list (92.15%), Jack Lowden came in fifth (90.33%), and George Clooney was sixth (89.9%).
“George Clooney is easily the oldest star on the list but he remains a stunningly attractive man with classical features in great proportion.
“There has been a loss of volume in his face and, inevitably, some sagging around the eyes.
“To still make the top ten at 63 is remarkable and is testament to his incredible natural good looks.”
