We first fell under Turner's spell when he played a vampire in the original U.K. version of Being Human. But it was his starring role on Poldark that revealed his, ahem, true gifts.

There was even talk of Turner taking on the mantle of 007. Oh, Aidan.

Gavan Hennigan

This 37-year-old extreme environment athlete has competed in snowboarding, mountaineering, ultra-running, and even rowed across the Atlantic in a row boat. Even more impressive, he overcame drug and alcohol addiction in his 20s to be his authentic self.

“I was afraid to admit I was gay," Hennigan told The Irish Times. "It was only when I hit rock bottom that I could look up and try to deal with it. I just felt I did not fit in and I had so many anger issues. I don’t particularly identify as a gay role model but if one person can see that I have survived all that, it will be worth it."

Colin Farrell

This Irish actor has a foul mouth, a bad attitude, and a notorious sex tape. What's not to love?

Jamie Dornan

Jamie Dornan seems uncomfortable embracing the sex symbol status that Fifty Shades has brought him. And that makes him all the more appealing.

There’s sexy and then there’s Fassbender: He showed a magnetic personality in the X-Men movies, showed off his physique in Assassin's Creed. and wasn't afraid to put it ALL out there in Shame.
