The 10 most handsome men in the world have been confirmed by science

He's regarded as one of the world's biggest pin-ups and now scientific research has officially confirmed that George Clooney has the world's most handsome face, according to DailyMail.

The 56-year-old actor's features were found to be 91.86 per cent accurate to the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi - which for thousands of years was thought to hold the secret formula of perfection.

Using the theory, computer mapping technology also found Ryan Gosling had the perfect nose, Harry Styles had the most beautiful eyes and the best chin, and David Beckham had the most perfectly shaped face.

Clooney, who last month became the father of twins Ella and Alexander with his lawyer wife Amal, was tested with the latest facial mapping techniques by Harley Street surgeon Dr Julian De Silva.

His eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape were measured and came closest to the Greeks' idea of perfection.

Dr De Silva, who runs The Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery in London, said: 'George Clooney has been feted as the world's most beautiful man for decades - and it is great that his status has now been proved by science.

'He has beautiful facial symmetry and gets closer than any other man to having what the Greeks considered the perfect face.

'George had a near perfect ratio of nose to lip dimension of 99.6 per cent and his chin and eye spacing were almost perfect as well. Across the 12 key markers he had the highest combined score.'

The world's top ten most handsome men:

1. George Clooney 91.86%
2. Bradley Cooper 91.80%
3. Brad Pitt 90.51%
4. Harry Styles 89.63%
5. David Beckham 88.96%
6. Will Smith 88.88%
7. Idris Elba 87.93%
8. Ryan Gosling 87.48%
9. Zayn Malik 86.5%
10. Jamie Fox 85.46%

How to calculate your own Phi face score:

Take a picture of your face close up on your phone, don't smile and look straight forward and have your hair off your face. Print out the picture on an A4 piece of paper.

Nose

• Measure the length of the nose from its widest point at the nostril = Nose length.
• Measure the width of the nose at its widest point = Nose width.
• Divide the nose length by nose width = your nose ratio.
• If bigger than 1.618 then divide 1.618 by your nose ratio.
• If smaller than 1.618 then divide your nose ratio by 1.618.
• That will give you your percentage score of Nose Phi score.

Eyebrows

• Measure your eyebrow from the end nearest your nose to the arch in a straight line = Arch Length.
• Measure your eyebrow from the same end to the opposite tip in a straight line - Full Length.
• Divide the Full Length by the Arch Length = Eyebrow Ratio.
• If bigger than 1.618 then divide 1.618 by your Eyebrow ratio.
• If smaller than 1.618 then divide your Eyebrow ratio by 1.618.
• That will give you your percentage score of Eyebrow Phi score.

Lips

• Measure the length of the lip from end to end = Lip Length.
• Divide Lip Length by Nose Width = 1.618 if perfect.
• The distance from the corner of the lip to the opposite edge of the nose should also be equal to Base of Nose x 1.618.
