Prince William dethrones Hollywood legend to be named sexiest bald man alive

Prince William, the Prince of Wales, has dethroned a major Hollywood star to be named the sexiest bald man alive. The 42-year-old Royal has claimed the title for the second consecutive year, according to a study that ranked the top 10 bald men based on search traffic and physical attributes.

The research, conducted by search marketing agency Reboot, analysed internet searches to determine how many people were seeking risqué images of bald celebrities, reports the Mirror. "Bald men have stolen the hearts of millions of people around the world, from Stanley Tucci to Zinedine Zidane to John Travolta," said the researchers.

"We've conducted scientific research and crunched the numbers to officially crown the Sexiest Bald Man for 2024."

William surpassed all his competitors, including Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. "The heir apparent to the British throne was considered a heartthrob in his younger years, but if our study is anything to go by, he still has sex appeal today," said the authors of the study.

"With 16,800 annual searches for 'Prince William' followed by 'shirtless' or 'naked' on Google, it's clear the public agrees."

The study evaluated their height, net worth, and how closely their face aligns with the mathematical "golden ratio" - which supposedly represents the "ideal" proportions used in renowned artworks. An unusual metric, the "shine factor", was also used in their rankings to measure the luminosity of each contender's scalp.

The study further analysed the average frequency of their voices, comparing it to the supposed ideal of 96hz - a few hertz below the global male average. Prince William topped the list, with The Rock in second place. Danny DeVito, Stanley Tucci and Vin Diesel also featured on the list.

"The Prince of Wales' smooth, shiny scalp earns him 74 percent for luminance, while his face also scores an equally impressive 72 percent on the golden ratio. His vocal charm is not to be overlooked either, scoring 9.91 out of 10 for vocal attractiveness - just shy of the top spot, which is held by none other than Shaquille O'Neal," the researchers added.

Here are the top 10 sexiest bald men of 2024:
