5. Vin Diesel

I reckon that Mr Popular a.k.a Vin Diesel should have some sort of patent or a copyright for the image he portrays – bald head, muscular physique, big boots, a deep voice, and a bad ass attitude! This half African-American and half Italian-American’s acting life started when he and a group of friend broke into a theater in New York and got caught! Although not much is known about his personal life – Vin Diesel sure is up there in the popularity meter. His popularity soared after his performance in the Oscar-winning film Saving Pirate Ryan. I reckon that this rough and tough ex-bouncer in the nightclubs of New York easily fits in the top 7 most popular actor’s list. He is here to stay with the Fast and Furious series.

6. Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio’s image will forever shout Titanic. I think that his pose with Kate Winslet on the deck of the ill-fated RMS Titanic will be remembered for generations. Leonardo DiCaprio is probably one of the most versatile actors. From support cast in low budget movies to leading man in Hollywood blockbusters – he’s done it all. His popularity has soared since Romeo + Juliet in 1996 and he’s never looked back since. Titanic blew his fame out of proportion. People magazine “50 most beautiful people in the world”, Empire Magazine “Top 100 movie stars of all time”, Star TV’s “Top 10 box office stars of 1990s”, are some of the credentials under his belt. I’m sure you’ll agree with me if I said age never seems to touch Leonardo. That image of the teen heartthrob Leonardo will never leave my mind!

7. Russel Crowe

He has held no qualms about speaking out openly about George Clooney, Harrison Ford or Robert De Niro for their advertisements. He’s outspoken, bold and holds a good punch. A movie star and a Rock star – can’t get any better! He is the Gladiator. Russel Crowe is a man of strong words, fiery temper and outstanding work. I don’t need to tell you that he has a massive fan following. Forbes magazine said he was one of the most overpaid actors of all time. His popularity knows no bounds. Did you know he was awarded with the Australian Centenary Medal in 2001? Forever in your memory will be etched Maximus’s (played by Crowe) husky voice saying “My name is Gladiator”
