12 Celebrities, Straight Men Should Have A Man Crush On

The standard definition of a man crush is "an intense and typically non-sexual liking or admiration felt by one man for another". It is normal for straight males to have man crushes, with no real reflection of sexual interest from one man to another. This is fairly evident when it comes to celebrities, with males often showing over-exaggerated, fangirl-like awe when it comes to these 10 names.

12. Ryan Reynolds

A true and sincere guy, nobody could deny that Ryan Reynolds is awesome. The only people who could hold a grudge against this guy, are those who envy him to the point of hatred and animosity. Not only does he bring an unmatched comedic value to the table, but also holds parts in movies which most men can only dream of having through his mastery of the various roles he plays, I mean for God's sake, who wouldn't want to be a superhero?

11. Zac Efron

Despite his roles in more feminine choices of movie media such as his leading roles in High School Musical and Hairspray, Zac Efron redeems himself through other portrayals in such movies as Dirty Grandpa and Baywatch. With a mind boggling physique that gets even straight males excited, Zac Efron is truly an icon to the male stereotype and stands as a figurehead of what many male persons strive to be.

10. Dwayne Johnson

The human embodiment of superiority, Dwayne Johnson is a living legend. Like most men, he shares a close bond with his mother, showing his love to her by purchasing a brand new car for her. An actor and former professional wrestler which most males look up to, Dwayne can play both serious and comedic parts and attains the ability to frighten you to the extent of pissing yourself but also to send the room into tears through his hilarious persona.

9. Niall Horan

The only former One Direction member in this list, Horan is generally considered to be the most liked out of the group by the male gender. Unlike other celebrities, Niall has a down to earth persona and is the kind of guy you'd want to sit down and tell all your life struggles. A seemingly genuine guy whose always looking to share a laugh, every man would take up the opportunity to share a beer with the Irish superstar whose presence would definitely attract some beautiful young ladies to your table.

8. Odell Beckham Jr.

The New York Giants' Wide Receiver, Odell Beckham Jr. has already made his legacy in the NFL despite being relatively new to the scene. The man who successfully caught the greatest (one-handed) catch of all time, Odell is not only a legend for his performances on the field but for his lifestyle off it as well. Greatly regarded as a fashion icon, Odell is also very fond of his cartoons, claiming that his favourite romantic movie is "Lady of The Tramp". With idols like Drake and David Beckham, Odell is the first (out of 3) Sports superstars that make this list.

7. David Beckham

The second and final Beckham on this list, and the man who Odell Beckham Jr. says he looked up to, David Beckham has transformed himself from a sporting legend to a model, actor and business man. Never shying away from the media, Beckham met and fell in love with popular spice girl singer Victoria, with whom he now has four children with. Beckham's fame has ensured that he and his family are never out of the spotlight but his great sense of humor and personality have cemented his place as the ultimate man crush for many men around the world.

6. Kevin Hart

Without a doubt one of the funniest men on Earth, Kevin Hart has created a legacy in the comedy genre both as a comedian and an actor. His stand up performances never fail to impress and he is known to collaborate with other man crushes in this list such as David Beckham and Dwayne Johnson. Often publicly sharing his wild stories, the opportunity to go out on a night out with Kevin Hart would surely be one which no man could deny and would definitely be an enjoyable experience.

5. Channing Tatum

What a beautiful man! Even the most straight of the male gender could admit that this man is downright, plain and simply gorgeous. The Magic Mike star is always looking to make fun of himself and others, as can be seen through his lip sync battle as he got himself into a dress in order to perform his rendition of Disney's "Let it Go", which almost has 10 million views on youtube

4. Rob Gronkowski

Another NFL superstar, and the final athlete that makes the list, Gronk is definitely living the life.
