7 Underrated Hollywood Hunks

Each year, typically around November or December, People Magazine publishes its highly anticipated feature, "The Sexiest Man Alive," complete with a jaw dropping, drool inducing cover and photo spread of Hollywood's hottest male celeb of the year. Merry Christmas to us.

However, the people at People (ha..ha...), tend to grant this coveted title to heavy hitters like George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, Bradley Cooper and Ryan Reynolds. In other words, the expected. But what about the other equally handsome hunks in Hollywood? Sure, they may have less extensive repertoires, but what they lack in Oscar-winning experience, they make up for in their own sheer physical perfection. 

Here are - what I believe to be - seven underrated hunks of Hollywood. While they receive ogling praise every now and then, I think they deserve a little bit more lovin'. And after taking a peek at these pics, I'm pretty sure you'll agree. 

In no particular order...

1. Garrett Hedlund 

Hedlund has landed some pretty major roles in movies like TRON: Legacy, Country Strong and most recently, Unbroken. Soon, you'll get to see him as Hook in the newest adaptation of Peter Pan, Pan (2015). Hot man as the bad guy? I can dig it. 

2. Jensen Ackles

Ackles is mostly known for his roles in major television series like Supernatural, Days of Our Lives and Dawson's Creek. But he is so. much. more. If you look at him too long, you might actually melt.

3. Michael B. Jordan

While Jordan made appearances in movies and television series as early as 1999, his big break didn't come until his role as Oscar Grant in Fruitvale Station. Jordan's upcoming projects include Fantastic Four (2015), Fantastic Four 2 (2017) and Creed (2015). Oofta, that smirk.

4. Taylor Kitsch

Kitsch is best known for his role on NBC's Friday Night Lights from 2006-2011. But, since his beginning on the small screen, he's starred in major motion pictures like John Carter, Savages and Lone Survivor. Plus, look at that man-bun material. 

5. Tom Hardy

With films like Inception, Lawless and The Dark Knight Rises under his belt, Hardy is making his way up the cinematic ranks. Up next? Hardy will appear in The Revenant (2015) alongside Leo Di Caprio. Talk about a hottie with a body. 

6. Sam Claflin

Claflin is probably best known for his role as Finnick Odair in the blockbuster series, The Hunger Games, but he's also had roles in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Snow White and the Huntsman. Soon, he'll reprise his role as William in The Huntsman, due out next year. Added bonus: he has a British accent.

7. Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Like Hardy, Gordon-Levitt has also starred in Inception and The Dark Knight Rises. But don't be fooled, Gordon-Levitt is more than just an action-film-kind-of-guy. He's also starred in films like 500 Days of Summer (a total chick flick) and Don Jon (a comedy/drama/romance kind of concoction). Coming up, he'll take on the leading role in Snowden, due out later this year. JoGo has got some seriously classic good looks going on.
