02:15Those of us in the West may not be up-to-date on our Japanese football,
02:18but this handsome devil is regarded as one of the greatest of his generation.
02:22When I started playing football, there was no professional league in Japan.
02:29My country had never qualified for the World Cup.

02:38and his involvement as a member of various Italian football clubs was so well-received
02:43that he was awarded one of the country's highest honors.
02:45And he accomplished all of this in just 10 years before retiring with dignity,
02:50looking ultra-fine as he did so.
02:52Despite his departure from the sport, he has maintained his athletic physique,
02:56and his heavy involvement in the fashion industry ensures that he's always looking sharp whenever we lay eyes on him.
03:02Fashion is, like, same as, like, you know, the food.

03:10Everybody likes their good clothes.
03:13Number 17.
03:14Ernie Clement

03:17this versatile Diamond King is proving that absolute persistence is the ultimate vibe.
03:21I haven't really changed as a player, I don't think.
03:24Like, I've always had the same ability, and, you know, I've always had a lot of confidence in myself.
03:28I just think the preparation and the maturity has kind of, you know, risen a little bit.
03:33After a standout collegiate run at the University of Virginia,
03:36he spent years grinding through the minors and navigating waiver wires
03:40before finding his perfect home north of the border.
03:42Holding down the infield for the Toronto Blue Jays,

03:51His clutch energy, defensive excellence, and relentless hustle make him completely undeniable.
03:57What do you have for breakfast?
04:00I'm probably gonna have a cup of coffee and some eggs and, you know,
04:03call it a day there and get ready to go kick some ass.
04:06There you go.
04:07I mean, this is why you love him.
04:08Yeah.
04:08This is why.
04:09Number 16.

04:16Known affectionately as Goldie,
04:18this powerhouse from Wilmington, Delaware,
04:20has put together a breathtaking future Hall of Fame-worthy career.
04:23My approach isn't any different.
04:24I really just think about it like a normal at bat.
04:26But, yeah, I've gotten more comfortable doing it and, you know, pinch hitting as well,
04:30just doing some things I haven't done much in my career.
04:32But it's fun to, you know, try some new things,
04:33and especially when you get hits and help the team win.
04:36A seven-time All-Star, four-time Gold Glove winner, and former NL MVP,
04:41he has spent over a decade absolutely dominating the diamond.
04:45Now anchoring a star-studded lineup for the New York Yankees,

04:53his calm demeanor, quiet confidence, and steady leadership make him an absolute standout.

05:03and that got up and running about a year ago, so that's amazing.
05:06Number 15.

05:22Are you feeling okay?
05:24Uh, I don't know how to say it in English, but sore, like, kind of, uh, in Portuguese,
05:29but, uh, I don't know, yeah, like, uh, the Moscow, yeah.

05:46in floor exercise during the 2016 Rio Games.

06:18Hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, he built a legendary career in the NHL,
06:22most notably as a core member of the Chicago Blackhawks' dynamic dynasty.
06:26Wow, I'm speechless.
06:27I feel like you're too excited to see the dog.
06:30I'm glad you're happy you recognize me.
06:32I was a little nervous to know who I was.
06:33Uh, yeah.
06:34How do I not know who you are?
06:35Oh my God, Sharpie.
06:37Oh my, my friend Mindy's gonna be so jealous.
06:39He hoisted the Stanley Cup an incredible three times,
06:42proving his clutch scoring and veteran poise were completely elite.

06:49bringing that same sharp, effortlessly charming presence to the screen as a television analyst.

07:01Do your makeup beforehand?
07:02No.
07:05Pretty boy.
07:06What?
07:07And we're back!
07:07Number 13.
07:08Anthony Joshua
07:09Born in Watford, Hertfordshire, this powerhouse boxer effortlessly pairs elite athletic excellence with absolute supermodel looks.
07:17Known globally as AJ, his towering 6'6 frame, chiseled physique, and sharp style make him a total standout outside
07:24the ring.
07:25However, he isn't just a stunning face.
07:27I know you see someone that looks like a Greek god standing in front of you right now, but I
07:31understand the psychology of fighting as well.
07:33Anthony Joshua is a two-time unified heavyweight champion who became one of the defining stars of the modern heavyweight
07:40era with serious knockout power.
07:42After making headlines by defeating YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a massive global spectacle,
07:47his drive, calm confidence, and star power remain undeniable.
07:51This is what I do. I'm going to do it until I can't no more. And whatever happens on this
07:55journey, all we can do is give our best. And that's what I'm going to keep doing until I can't
08:00throw another punch.
08:01Number 12.
08:02Lewis Hamilton
08:03This legendary Stevenage-born driver has redefined what it means to be a global sports icon, bringing high-fashion dominance
08:10to the paddock.
08:11I was like, I'm being pictured every day in Team Kit, and we're in Team Kit for 90-odd days
08:16in a year, the same top. And for me, that's a killer. Like, it kills me.
08:20So I love variation. I love challenging myself. I love being bold and taking risks in what I wear. And
08:27I think how you show up and how you present yourself is incredibly important.
08:31With a record-tying seven Formula One World Championships, he has spent nearly two decades shattering barriers and setting the
08:38gold standard for motorsport excellence.
08:40His impact also reaches far beyond the track. He served as a Met Gala co-chair in 2025, cementing his
08:46status as a true heavyweight in the fashion world.
08:49His jaw-dropping move to Ferrari further proved he is always the center of attention.
08:54Combining an iconic aesthetic with unmatched racing mastery, Sir Lewis Hamilton's influence transcends the sporting world.
09:01Yeah, it's a shame it's not back in the day, because back in the day, you know, when you watch
09:04movies, the knight could go around and knight his friends or other people.
09:07I'd be knighting all my friends, but I can't do that now.
09:09Number 11.
09:10Sidney Crosby
09:11This legendary Coal Harbor native is the absolute blueprint of hockey royalty.
09:16Affectionately known as Sid the Kid, he lived up to impossible hype to become one of the greatest to ever
09:21lace up a pair of skates.
09:23Look at this. He just splits it too deep.
09:26Futs the puck on the backhand, one hand on the stick, and able to flick it right over the glove
09:30of Robin Leonard.
09:33Well, and the fans are getting to their feet here.
09:36A three-time Stanley Cup champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist, his relentless work ethic, unmatched vision, and clutch
09:43execution defined an entire era of the NHL.
09:46Beyond his legendary playmaker skills, he brings a classic, understated, handsome charm, and an incredibly grounded vibe to the sport.
09:54Combining pure class, championship pedigree, and timeless appeal, he continues to stand entirely in a league of his own.
10:01That number, I've been kind of hanging around. The hockey gods made me earn it, I feel like, the last
10:05few games.
10:06But just to get the win, to get a win in a shootout, it all kind of lined up well
10:11tonight.
10:12Number 10.
10:12Amir Khan
10:13This Bolton-born phenomenon burst onto the global stage as a sensational teenage prodigy, capturing an Olympic silver medal at
10:21just 17 years old before transforming into a truly electrifying professional force.
10:26A former unified light welterweight world champion, his breathtaking hand speed and fearless high-stakes fighting style made every single
10:33one of his bouts absolute must-watch television.
10:36Ten years of fighting on world-class level. Ten years, you know? Fighting world champions and former world champions, selling
10:44at arenas, being the main attraction. There must be one reason for that, you know?
10:50Outside the ring, he has always maintained a sharp, dapper charm and massive crossover appeal. While a late career doping
10:57controversy added a complicated chapter to his competitive days, it hasn't erased the memory of his lightning-fast peak.
11:03Combining a brilliant early legacy, a philanthropic heart, and undeniable style, his mark on the British sporting landscape is indelible.
11:11You know, you might think that being a boxer, being a fighter, you would be that tyrant. You'd be a
11:18strong guy, you'd be an aggressive guy all the time, but now I'm the most chill guy going.
11:21Number 9.
11:22Nacho Figueras
11:23Polo may not seem like a conventional hot guy sport, but when you see Ignacio Nacho Figueras riding suavely atop
11:31his horse, you might reconsider.
11:32Uh, boy, hey.
11:34Hey, what's up, Andy?
11:35Good to see you, Nacho.
11:36Good to see you. What's going on?
11:38I'm gonna learn how to ride polo horses.
11:40Are you scared?
11:41Sure, he's one of the world's greatest polo players, playing for the Blackwatch polo team in various championships.
11:46But this native Argentinian became the face of Ralph Lauren Black Label in 2005, helping to raise the profile of
11:53his chosen sport as well as the brand.
11:55His accent, the way he rocks an open shirt, and his easy handling of steeds gives him an air of
12:00royalty and class, encouraging Vanity Fair readers to vote him as the second most handsome man in the world in
12:072009, ahead of Brad Pitt.
12:09I am not attracted to most men.
12:11But I am very attracted to you.
12:14But in a way that is acceptable, I believe.
12:16No, no, no, no, no.
12:17In a way that is...
12:18Okay, in a good way.
12:18Okay, thank you.
12:19Okay, that felt good.
12:20Number 8.
12:21Jalen Hurts.
12:22The Philadelphia Eagles struck gold with this Houston-born quarterback, a man who radiates pure composure, resilience, and magnetic gridiron
12:30leadership.
12:31After a high-drama college career, he cemented his legacy by capturing the Super Bowl 59 championship and the coveted
12:38Super Bowl MVP title.
12:39What makes him a truly elite icon, though, is his off-field substance.
12:43Great leader.
12:44Just the things he does off the field, the way he carries himself, that's somebody, you know, love to have
12:49conversation with.
12:50He is dedicated to advocating for women in sports and is backed by a powerhouse all-female management team.
12:56Just having women involved, giving them the same opportunities that I have, anybody else has, and I'm going to be
13:05their own breed of one and practice that in any way that they feel so.
13:09Combine these green flags with his effortless style and a charming Abbott Elementary cameo, and it becomes virtually impossible not
13:16to love him.
13:17Jay, since we only have but so much time together, I was wondering, what do you dream about at night?
13:23That I'm the prince of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis.
13:30Number 7.
13:31Carlos Sainz Jr.
13:33Born into rallying royalty, this Madrid native has carved out his own elite legacy as Formula One's resident smooth operator.
13:40You know what?
13:41This is my first smooth operation in karate.
13:45It's Carlos Sainz's day after being made to sweat for it.
13:50Corner after corner, lap after lap, but that was everything.
13:55Beyond his tactical brilliance and historic race wins, he is a certified heartthrob, turning heads with his thick, perfectly styled
14:02dark hair, striking eyes, and razor-sharp jawline.
14:06His effortless charm has landed him massive global campaigns as the face of L'Oreal Paris and Hackett London, while
14:12his viral, hilariously relatable dating advice has made him a massive crossover favorite.
14:17Blending high-speed danger with classic Spanish charm, Carlos brings leading man energy to every lap.
14:23Chicky like, cheeky look, and then don't worry, if he likes you, he will go for it.
14:33Leave some hints.
14:34Number 6.
14:35Tom Daly.
14:35Hailing from Plymouth, this iconic diving prodigy has gracefully transitioned from a teenage phenomenon into one of Britain's most celebrated
14:42Olympic legends.
14:43Renowned for his absolute precision on the 10-meter platform, he captivated the world across five Olympic Games, capping off
14:51his historic career with a stunning silver in Paris before retiring.
14:54However, one of his most charming traits is his passion for knitting and crocheting.
14:58Well, my coach told me that I was never able to sit still, and that I was always on the
15:03go, and I needed to come to training on Monday rested and relaxed, and try to find something where I
15:07could actually sit down and do that.
15:09So my husband suggested that I try knitting, and then I went onto YouTube, got my yarn, got my needles.
15:15Off I went, and I've been obsessed ever since, honestly.
15:19An Olympic champion casually knitting away in the stands?
15:22What could be hotter?
15:23Between becoming Rimmel London's first-ever global male ambassador and turning cozy creativity into part of his brand, Tom Daly
15:29is the absolute master of melting hearts.
15:32I love you so much for making me this.
15:34This is, like, my favorite thing ever.
15:36I'm not kidding.
15:37I'm so jealous that you can make this.
15:39Number 5.
15:40Tom Evans.
15:41His sporting career may have been a short one, as was his stint in a boy band, but this rugby
15:46player certainly made an impact.
15:47Playing wing for the Glasgow Warriors, a nearly fatal neck injury cost him his career as an athlete.
15:53It's not all doom and gloom, however.
15:55Yeah, I was a bit like Robocop for a while, but I guess I was up walking after three weeks,
16:01which was great.
16:02You know, if you think about it, you know, it's such a quick turnaround.
16:06You know, modern-day science is truly amazing.
16:10He's gone on to make quite a name for himself as a male model.
16:13And let us tell you, he is not afraid to let everything show.
16:17And we mean everything.
16:18Leaving the rugby world clearly didn't diminish his enthusiasm for working out.
16:22I find it quite therapeutic, and I feel that if I don't exercise for two or more days, I get
16:27quite restless.
16:29So I'm happy when I'm exercising.
16:32Whether he's suited up or on display for all to see, we are extremely grateful he's not camera shy.
16:38Number 4.
16:39Travis Kelsey.
16:39Forget the standard playbook, because this Westlake, Ohio native completely rewrote what it means to be an NFL star.
16:46As a dominant force for the Kansas City Chiefs, his legendary root-running and clutch playmaking secured three historic championship
16:53rings.
16:53Off the field, his rugged beard, sharp style, and towering frame give him an undeniable high-energy presence.
17:00As a wise man once said, more, more, more, more, and more!
17:05His influence even landed him a massive deal as Tommy Hilfiger's global brand ambassador and creative collaborator.
17:12Away from the gridiron, he's become impossible to ignore, too.
17:15As Taylor Swift's fiancé, he effortlessly moves between Super Bowl glory and superstar glamour.
17:21This album probably also feels very happy and confident and free, because that's the way that I get to feel
17:27every single day of my life, because of my fiancé, who's here tonight.
17:36So thanks for all the vibe.
17:38Number 3.
17:39Cristiano Ronaldo.
17:40He's regarded as one of the best football players of all time, and he has proved it again and again
17:46on the pitch.
17:46This forward has set too many records to list, but some of his greatest accomplishments include being chosen captain of
17:52the Portuguese national team,
17:54becoming Real Madrid's all-time top scorer, and being picked as 2015's most-liked person on Facebook.
18:00To be honest, if you're thinking too much about that, you lost your focus, which is the most important.
18:08You know, my focus is to be a good man and to do my job properly.
18:14He's got the technique, the wealth, and the charm to turn him into Portugal's biggest heartthrob,
18:19as well as the style and status to become a fashion icon.
18:22Even if you ignore his toned and sleek frame, five minutes listening to that voice and he is bound to
18:27be your player of choice.
18:29Is Lionel Messi a better player than you?
18:31Maybe I'm better reported than him.
18:34What do you say, sir?
18:36Maybe, I don't know.
18:38This is not important.
18:39Number 2.
18:40Henrik Lundqvist.
18:41Long before he became a New York icon, this Swedish hockey legend possessed a rare, undeniable star power.
18:47Affectionately dubbed King Henrik, the elite netminder spent 15 seasons guarding the crease for the Rangers,
18:53cementing his status as a first-ballot Hall of Famer with the most wins of any European goaltender in NHL
18:59history.
18:59So much passion for something at an early age, and it's given me so much, more than I can ever
19:06imagine.
19:08So thank you for this huge honor and for all the memories that I'll bring with me for the rest
19:14of my life.
19:15Off the ice, his style is legendary.
19:17Famous for rocking razor-sharp tailored three-piece suits,
19:20his icy confidence has effortlessly translated into luxury partnerships with Tag Heuer.
19:25With a flawlessly coiffed mane, perfectly groomed beard, and an ultra-sleek elegance,
19:30he made hockey look like high fashion.
19:32I was clapping my hands, and my daughter looked at me and was like,
19:35Dad, we're not clapping, we're screaming.
20:04Number 1. David Beckham.
20:06He went from Manchester United to England's national team to a global sex symbol in the blink of an eye,
20:12and is still adored to this day.
20:14Playing for a variety of clubs, both within his home country and across the pond,
20:18he's now retired and focused more on charity and business.
20:21My mentality was not to just reflect on, you know, what I'd just achieved.
20:26No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be the only one for me.
20:31You always knew you had to have a plan afterwards.
20:33An officer of the most excellent order of the British Empire,
20:36who happens to have a modeling career that would make anyone's knees buckle and endorsement deals multiple,
20:42Bex hasn't done too bad for himself.
20:43Questionable haircuts aside,
20:45Mr. Golden Ball's Adonis-esque body and hauntingly gorgeous gaze
20:49define him as the pinnacle of male sexiness in the sporting world.
20:52How long did that last?
20:55Not long, because my coach at the time,
20:58I took my beanie off as I'm walking out to a game.
21:02And he said, go and shave it.
21:04And maybe go back in the locker room and I had to shave it off.
21:07Which athlete has your all-time favorite face card?
