Can you BELIEVE it’s that time again?! Yep, better late than never, it’s time for Burgess’ Buff Blokes 2025!
If you’re new to this, then here are the rules…
1. I put together a list of my top 25 beautiful blokes of the year.
2. In order to be featured they have to have actually done something during said year.
3. Only 3 men from my previous years list can make it into this one! (It actually only ends up being 2 because, spoiler alert, Sebastian Stan features every year)
So now that we’re all familiar, grab a seat (you’ll need one) and let’s get going with my 2025 list!
25. Kieran Culkin

Kicking off the list in at number 25 we have Kieran Culkin. His energy is all over the shop like some kind of deranged raccoon and I’m SO attracted to him? He’s so quick witted and funny…it’s hot.
24. Granit Xhaka

Oh captain, my captain…
One of the highlights of 2025 was definitely seeing wor Xhaka make his way to Sunlun. I love how passionate and angry he gets while he’s running around that pitch like plz pass me some water STAT.
23. Pete Wicks

The hair. The tattoos. The outfits. The voice. The fact he loves dogs. Like seriously, I just can’t. Pete is an absolute BABE and he’s certainly been staying relevant enough to make it into the list for 2025.
22. Josh Hartnett

He just wanders round like some kind of mysterious, sexy art teacher right? The man is ageing like a fine wine and I’m absolutely here for it. Please sir, continue.
21. John Cena

What WWE failed to tell you is that Cena’s retirement tour actually ended here in Burgess’ Buff Blokes 2025. The absolute GOAT.
20. Daniel Sunjata

I’ve very much enjoyed watching High Potential on Disney+ for the plot…the plot being Daniel Sunjata. Smooth, sophisticated and stupidly attractive. My heart can only take so much.
19. Ebon Moss-Bachrach

COUSINNNN! Ebon looks absolutely fuming at all times and apparently, that’s my vibe because GIRL I am not ok whenever he’s on screen. The way he stomps around yelling at everyone in The Bear?? Those piercing eyes?? Send help.
18. Charlie Simpson

Childhood me was obsessed with that voice and those eyebrows. 20-something years on and I’m STILL obsessed. That voice does something to me that I cannot explain and I wish he would love me the way he loved Miss McKenzie.
17. Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch is so elegant and sophisticated and looks like he’s just stepped out of a BBC drama. He talks like he’s narrating a documentary and has the intensity of someone who hasn’t blinked in 6 years. I don’t think I should find him as sexy as a I do but here we are.
16. Walton Goggins

I will not be taking any questions at this time.
15. Charlie Cox

Charlie is an absolute dreamboat isn’t he? He’s so soft and sweet but then you see him in Daredevil and JEBUS, I need a lie down. Those arms. That smile. He’s the kind of man that would happily ruin your life but apologise profusely for it.
14. Damson Idris

Damson raced his way into my heart in 2025! He’s sooo sexy and I’m ready to see more of him. Let’s be honest, the Marvel rumours have got me pretttty invested too…
13. David Corenswet

Mind he fit into that blue suit and red cape quite perfectly didn’t he? The man looks like he’s literally been carved by the hardest working angels going, like give them a bonus please and thank you!!!
12. Jon Bernthal

Jon looks like he hasn’t had a good nights sleep since 2015 and somehow, it works? He’s got that glare perfected, it’s like he’s staring straight into my soul, and that gravelly voice? WEAK AT THE KNEES!!! I still remember when I met him at comic con and he called me sweetie… Deceased.
11. Will Arnett

Will’s voice alone is my kryptonite, like it should come with a warning. He’s got that proper divorced hot Dad energy with sarcasm and sexiness thrown in and let me tell you, it’s a vibe.
10. Pedro Pascal

Pedro is no stranger to this list and there’s a reason he keeps returning. He’s like the definition of ‘please sir, can I have some more?’ Devastatingly handsome, super stylish and an all around TREAT. Also this photo lives rent free in my mind.
9. Jacob Elordi

Elordi, lordy lordy…
Jacob walks around towering over everyone like a sexy lamppost. Seriously, how tall is he?! Very smart, very sexy, very happy with him being on my list.
8. Joseph Quinn

Right I never got Joseph Quinn until 2025. He’s got this look in his eyes that tells you he’s been hurt before and you just want to take him home, wrap him in a blanket and tell him everything is going to be ok…
7. Riley Green

Excuse me, you look like you love me…
That man knows EXACTLY what he’s doing to us all and he’s not even sorry about it.
6. Justin Hartley

He’s rugged, he’s charming and he’s also a bit like a golden retriever in human form?
There’s nothing I’d wish for more than this man to track me down through the woods…
5. Charlie Hunnam

Hun by name, hun by nature AMIRITE?
He’s got that chaotic energy like he’d beat anyone up who looked at you the wrong way but would also sit and cry watching a Disney film. He looks like he’d smell like Molton Brown Dark Leather. An absolutely divine man.
4. Austin Butler

Doctor I need a prescription because I’m NOT ok.
The hair. The abs. The cheekbones sharp enough to slice a tiger loaf. Any time I see a photo of him or see him on screen I blush. Like the way he looks/acts/talks should be ILLEGAL. He’s so pretty and mysterious looking that you’ll want to write several journal entries about his eyes alone.
3. Jeremy Allen-White

Seriously someone sedate me. Jeremy looks like a sexy bird and apparently that’s what I’m into.
The hair. The eyes. The voice. If that man ever said ‘yes chef’ to me you’d need to get the defib out PRONTO. The fact that he’s able to make a vest look like high fashion? I can’t even. Hearing him sing Springsteen songs? Goodness me.
Another great year for the returning champ.
2. Sebastian Stan

My absolute OG love. The man is getting sexier year in, year out and tbh I can’t even deal. Every time he grows a beard my productivity drops by 60%. I dreamt the other week that he was sat next to me on the train. Every now and then he would smile at me. That was it. That was the dream. Yet I’ve been thinking about it every minute of every day since. He’s LITERALLY the man of my dreams (other than my actual real life husband, of course…) I’m also so grateful to have had Bucky Barnes back in my life. Thank you to the powers that be.
1. Michael B. Jordan

A huge thank you to Ryan Coogler for bringing not one, but TWO Michael B. Jordan’s to our screen in Sinners. We were truly BLESSED. He’s one of the sexiest men on the planet, maybe in the whole universe, and is a well deserved winner for 2025!
So there we have it, the 2025 Burgess’ Buff Blokes list.
Let’s see what 2026 has to offer…
