Why we love him: At 6’ 2”, strapping Gerry – with his bulging biceps and sexy Scottish brogue – caters to our desire for a ‘real man’ in every sense of the word. He’s only been on Hollywood’s radar for four years, but the smooth-talking Scot has already garnered an impressive reputation as a ladies’ man, reportedly charming some of the world’s hottest women, including Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz and Naomi Campbell.

Single? Nope – the actor has been married to American writer Keely Shaye Smith since 2001.

Age: 42
Single? Nope – married to the lovely Jada Pinkett Smith since 1997. The pair have two children, Karate Kid Jaden and popstral Willow.

Age: 50
Single? David married actress Tea Leoni in 1997, with whom he has two children – Madelaine and Kyd.
Why we love him: As foxy special agent Fox Mulder, David made science sexy in 90s phenomenon The X Files. Plus, is it just us, or does that whole ‘sex addiction’ thing only make him hotter?
Rex FeaturesWho: Johnny Depp
Age: 47
Single? Sadly, no – the beautiful one has been with beautiful partner, Vanessa Paradis since 1998, and has two, no doubt, beautiful children.
Why we love him: With his razor-sharp cheekbones and soulful, brooding eyes, Johnny is quite possibly the closest humankind has come to perfection. What’s more, his quick-wit, artistic integrity and love of children (know many Hollywood A-listers who turn up at UK schools and hospitals to entertain the kids?) only make us love him more.
PA PhotosWho: Keanu Reeves
Age: 46
Single? Yes.
Why we love him: Whether he’s chasing down a runaway bus in a padded body-warmer (Speed) or flaunting his martial arts prowess in leather (The Matrix), big nuts movie star Reeves makes watching all those mindless action flicks with our fellas totally doable.

Rex FeaturesWho: Clive Owen
Age: 46
Single? No, sadly. The hottie wed actress Sarah-Jane Fenton in 1995. They have two daughters, Hannah and Evie.
Why we love him: He first hit our radar totally out-sexing Jude Law in 2004’s Closer. With that quintessentially British temperament, notoriously naughty twinkle in his eye and a knowing smile, Clive gives us the impression he’d be a gentleman in public, but an animal in the bedroom. Grrr.

Rex FeaturesWho: Jamie Foxx
Age: 42
Single? Yes.
Why we love him: With a surname like Foxx, you’d expect nothing less. Jamie is one of life’s natural achievers, excelling in every field he tries out, be it music of film. It would be irritating if he wasn’t such a babe!

Why we love him: We’ve always had a thing for doctors – even TV doctors – so as Grey’s Anatomy’s Dr. Shepherd (AKA Dr. McDreamy as he was affectionately known) Patrick sure got our pulses racing.
PA PhotosWho: Vin Diesel
Age: 43
Single? No, he has a daughter, Hania, with his model girlfriend Paloma Jimenez.
Why we love him: As well as the whole ‘protection’ factor (who wouldn’t feel safe with someone like Vin?) – that famously deep, gravelly voice is hard to resist.
PA PhotosWho: John Barrowman
Age: 43
Single? Sadly, no. John has been with partner Scott Gill since 1993, and they ‘married’ in a civil ceremony in 2006.
Why we love him: The dulcet-toned and snake-hipped Housewives’ favourite made Doctor Who and Torchwood compulsive viewing for us Glamour Girls - staying in on a Saturday night has never been so tempting.
