Yep, it really is that time of year again!

Burgess’ Buff Blokes is back and if you’re new to my yearly post, let me tell you how it works:

1. I put together a list of my top 25 sexy celebs of the year.

2. In order to be featured they have to have done something during the year.

3. Only 3 men from my previous years list can make it into this one!

Ok so now that we’re all up to date, let’s get going with my #BurgessBuffBlokes2022

WARNING: as always, you may need to read this sat down with a glass of water in hand!

25 – MILES TELLER

GOODNESS GRACIOUS GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!

Couldn’t resist putting Miles in here after seeing him as Rooster in Top Gun: Maverick earlier this year. He’s got an unusual but sexy voice and tbh his lil tache in the film was a vibe.

24 – ALEX TURNER

I for one was VERY happy with the return of Arctic Monkeys this year and therefore the return of Alex Turner’s gorgeous face all over my social media. He’s got his longish messy hair back and it is a LOOK. The lad could literally sing me the phonebook (if that’s still a thing?) and I would be aaaaall ears.

23 – ROBERT PATTINSON

Cedric Diggory. Edward Cullen. BATMAN.

I’ve been a little bit in love with R-Pattz for what feels like most of my life so why stop now? He’s tall, dark and handsome – just what the doctor ordered!

22 – MANISH DAYAL

Can we PLEASE just agree that Manish Dayal has the DREAMIEST eyes?!?!?! Like he’s gorgeous in general, that smile is amazing but SERIOUSLY THOSE EYES!!!!!! I’m getting lost in them…

21 – JENSEN ACKLES

The Boys is already amazing but then the producers were like ‘you know what will make this even better? Jensen Ackles’ and they were CORRECT! He’s so god damn sexy and swear he’s getting better with age? Unreal.

20 – TAYLOR JOHN SMITH

WELL HELLO THERE! I’m very sad to say that I had absolutely no idea who Taylor John Smith was until I went to see Where The Crawdads Sing this year and my goodness, I was VERY happy to be introduced to this absolute dreamboat. He seems like the perfect guy to take home to your parents. He’d run you a bath when you’re stressed, he’d have dinner on the table for you coming in, he’d buy you flowers just because… *sighs*

19 – ROMAN REIGNS

HOOO-HAAAAH (or whatever that noise is he makes before he sparks someone out)
There’s a reason Roman Reigns is the big dog and it’s because he is INCREDIBLE, AMAZING, DELICIOUS. What I would give to have those giant arms wrapped around me…

18 – WYATT RUSSELL

I am aaaall for a man in a superhero costume (I’m sure you knew that already) and the fact that he’s also got the sexiness of his Dad as well. Hubba HUBBA.

17 – BRANDON FLOWERS

Eee now hey. Brandon is THE MAN! Parading around the stage in a suit, singing with that incredibly sexy voice of his – when we saw The Killers in Madrid this summer I honestly felt like I was going to pass out and it wasn’t because of the heat. He’s ageing like the finest of wines and I just cannot get enough.

16 – CHRIS EVANS

Whey, need I say much more really? It’s Chris Evans for crying out loud! There’s a reason he was named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man 2022!

15 – MASON MOUNT

Right well obviously the World Cup was a big thing recently and I very much enjoyed it because I like football but more importantly, I like footballers…especially Mason Mount. Cheeky face, gorgeous boy. Had a dream we got married a few weeks ago and I’m still thinking about it.

14 – CHARLIE COX

Charlie boy is an absolute heartthrob right? He’s just so lovely and so happy and the kind of bloke you just want to curl up with on the settee and snuggle for DAYS. Buy a house, get a dog, have two kids…

13 – CHRIS HEMSWORTH

You know in Thor: Love and Thunder when Thor goes to see Zeus and his clothes all fall off and the lasses pass out? Yep same.

12 – GORKA MARQUEZ

Eeeee right, I cannot DEAL with how extra sexy Gorka has been on Strictly this year!!!! There’s nothing more wonderful than a man who can dance and he is MAGNIFICENT. Can we discuss the Cabaret dance where he’s got that black outfit on and he’s crawling across the floor?! Jesus WEPT I nearly fell off me chair. That dance lives rent free in my mind.

11 – RYAN GOSLING

Narrowly missing out on a space in the top 10 but he’s still a BABE. Gorgeous Gosling is another man who is ageing so well right? He looks so good in a suit, his voice is lush AND he’s going to be playing Ken next year in Barbie which I’m very happy about.

10 – AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON

Right, top 10 and meaning business now…

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the first of three from last years list and it is with VERY good reason. If you saw Bullet Train, you’ll know. If you didn’t, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? He’s somehow even sexier when he’s an angry assassin type fella in a suit.

9 – BAD BUNNY

Huns. HUNS. Bad Bunny is just…omg. *Chefs kiss* First of all can we talk about how talented he is? He can sing, he can wrestle AND he can act. Triple threat there, but then let’s just take a look at him for a second. He’s cute, but also HOT. Soooo hot. His eyes, his lips…I need a lie down.

8 – TOM ELLIS

I’ve got a confession to make here. I’m *slightly* breaking my own rules with this one…

I’ve only just got round to watching the final season of Lucifer and fallen MADLY in love with Tom Ellis all over again. I know it came out last year but TECHNICALLY he did that advert with Kevin Bacon this year sooo kinda counts.

DON’T @ ME – I MAKE THE RULES.

7 – OWEN WARNER

The Nation’s Sweetheart.

I loved seeing Owen on I’m A Celeb this year, he’s just so bloody lovable! He’s kinda like a puppy – cute, funny, charming. Then the abs. Ohhhh the abs…my goodness.

6 – SEBASTIAN STAN

I’m not even going to say anything here. It’s expected and it’s necessary.

5 – PEDRO PASCAL

Big fan of Pedro Pascal’s hair and face. Suave, sophisticated and an absolute DISH.

4 – CALLUM WILSON

High praise here considering he plays for the Mags, but my GOD I’ve fallen in love with Callum Wilson this year. Any time he appears on MOTD or on my social media, I actually squeal. Bonus points seeing him on the telly for the World Cup as well. Heart eyes emoji x1000.

3 – AUSTIN BUTLER

Right I feel like before Elvis, Austin Butler could have walked past me in the street and I wouldn’t have even noticed him. Now it’s like WOW. I want to run my hands through his hair, stare into his eyes and never let him go. A HUNK A HUNK OF BURNING LOVE.

2 – LUCAS BRAVO

J’ADORE LUCAS BRAVO. Il est si doux et magnifique. Ses veux sont rêveurs et lui aussi.

Basically what my Google translate is saying is that he’s dreamy AF and bloody delightful on the eyes.

1 – LUCIEN LAVISCOUNT

What’s it all about, Alfieeeee…

In a battle of the Emily in Paris fitties, Lucien Laviscount comes out on top!

I think he’s the first fella to make it to make it from 2nd place the previous year to 1st the next but he is an absolute worthy winner in the Burgess Buff Blokes 2022 list!

He’s so hunbelievably hunreal isn’t he? Like his name alone makes me swoon, never mind when he’s wandering about in gorgeous suits, flashing his cheeky little smile. Eee honestly, he starts talking and I’m a MESS.

Congratulations Lucien you WONDERFUL specimen.

Let’s see what 2023 has to offer…
