Top 10 Under the Radar Hotties

We hate to say it, but we get tired of looking at Brad Pitt, George Clooney,  Hugh Jackman… you know, the old standbys.  Yes, they’re gorgeous, but give us some new blood!  That’s why, this week, Viva Swag decided to break out the “Top 10 Under the Radar Hotties.”  Feast your eyes on this list of up and coming stars, European exports, and celebs that haven’t quite made the big time yet but are well on their way.

Paolo Nutini

A huge sensation in the UK, Scottish born singer (with Italian parents) Paolo is a mere 23.  His debut album These Streets was released in 2006 and has been on the UK billboard charts for a record-breaking 196 weeks.  A voice to die for, a smile that kills you and hair you wanna run your fingers through, Paolo has girls ages 12-100 swooning.

Ben Whishaw

Trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Whishaw is a serious Thespian.  He had his breakout role playing a creepy guy in “Perfume, Story of a Murderer” but melted hearts in the romantic movie “Bright Star” with his portrayal of poet, John Keats.

Brian Geraghty

This blond dreamboat recently starred in the indie movie “Easier With Practice” playing an inept shy writer on a roadtrip with his brother to sell his book.  You’ll fall for him hook line and sinker even though the girls in the film don’t.

Derek Luke

We keep waiting for Luke to have his huge star moment where the paparazzi are after him like Denzel but it just hasn’t come yet.  Luke had his breakout role in “Antwone Fisher” and continues to land challenging roles with his most recent stint being on the series “Trauma.”

Chris and Liam Hemsworth

Brothers from Australia.  Both good looking.  Both talented.  Chris had his huge break on “Star Trek.” His star is definitely rising and he’s slated to play several huge roles in the next few years.  Liam was the cutie in “The Last Song” and is Miley Cyrus‘ current boyfriend.

James Marsden

Former Versace Model turned actor, Marsden is best known for his role as “Cyclops” in the X-Men Films but has a list of credits a mile long.  This is the actor that you see everywhere, but you never know his name… we’re not quite sure why, because he’s certainly every bit as good looking as Ben Affleck.

Tahar Rahim

Born in France of Kabyle-Algerian descent, Rahim gave one of the most memorable performances of 2009 in “The Prophet.” He had all the raw talent, energy and smoldering sex appeal of a young De Niro.  At 28, Rahim brought home the César award for the role (the French equivalent to the Oscar).

Sam Worthington

Seems like Worthington should be a household name with his star turn in “Avatar” and “Clash of the Titans.” Not quite, but he’s well on his way with several movies in development for 2011.  Born in the UK, Worthington did the majority of his work in Australia before breaking into the US.

Jay Chou

Tiawanese singer, actor, composer, musician, director, producer… you name it Chou has done it.  He’s sold millions of copies of his records throughout Asia and is a huge movie star over there.  Looks like the US has finally caught on, he debuts as Kato in “The Green Hornet” slated to be released in 2011.
