Ranker is a popular place on the Internet where people can rank whatever they want, however, they want, and whenever they want. This is always a fan-focused ranking system, and it is never officially tied to the people behind the projects in question.
Recently, a large survey was organized on Ranker, whose goal was to determine the most popular actors right now. The list includes more than 100 names, but in our report, we have decided to list the top ten actors from the site to provide you with better insight, combined with our original comments and opinions, which will add flavor to the whole report.
Of course, since this is indeed an important list, we have decided to report on it, so we are going to bring you the results by listing the top 10 actors on this list, from 10th to first place. We hope you’ll enjoy it!
10. Tom Holland
It is perfectly understandable why and how Tom Holland is on this list. He is the current MCU Spider-Man, and that fact alone is to launch someone in the top 10 most popular actors at this moment.
We also have his highly publicized relationship with Zendaya, which also helps. And while he hasn’t really achieved success in non-MCU projects, he keeps trying and once he moves on from the Spider-Mask, we hope that he will be able to remain on this list.
9. Keanu Reeves
Absolutely, Keanu Reeves has to be here and we’d even put him much higher on this list. Sure, at this moment, he can thank his place on this list to the John Wick franchise, but Reeves has numerous other famous roles, including The Matrix series, My Own Private Idaho, and Speed, to name a few. On top of that, he is a really great guy privately and is a celebrity loved by all the fans, which explains why he is so popular as well.
8. Will Smith
In all honesty, we think that this is a complete misfire. Smith was a popular name around 10+ years ago and an actor everyone loved. But after his odd relationship with his wife, Jada, became public, and once people found out the details, more and more people started to dislike him.
This all culminated in the infamous Oscars slap, and we honestly think that Will Smith doesn’t deserve to be in the top 10 on this list. Samuel L. Jackson, perhaps?
7. Morgan Freeman
Okay, this is… well… deserved. Morgan Freeman might not be very active at this moment, but his career speaks for itself. The legendary actor has so many epic movies that we could list here, that we will not list any of them out of respect for his amazing roles.
As said, while his career is not as active as it was, his legacy remains and that legacy is, as you might assume, more than enough for us to actually agree with this listing, as Freeman is a true legend.
6. Ryan Reynolds
Well, we cannot deny that he is popular. Okay, sure, not everyone likes him, or his wife, but Reynolds is pretty popular around the world and while Deadpool is the character he should thank the most, he also had some interesting appearances in other movies as well.
We might not give him this place, but we do agree that he does deserve to be here and that his inclusion on this list is completely justified, so we won’t be complaining much about it.
5. Chris Hemsworth
Thor is also someone with whom we completely agree. Similarly to Tom Holland, he isn’t really known for his roles outside of the MCU, but there are numerous such roles – both action and comedy ones – and Hemsworth has actually made a career for himself, which is why we completely agree with this listing. Would we have given him the fifth place? Probably not, but we wouldn’t change it much.
4. Dwayne Johnson
The Rock on fourth place? Maybe five or six years ago. Now? Not even in the top 10! His recent projects have flopped – especially Black Adam – and his attempt at hijacking the DCEU put him on the enemy list of many fans.
Not to mention his political comments. Much like Will Smith, we don’t think Johnson deserves to be on this list anymore, and we could name several names, such as Timothée Chalamet or Glen Powell, to replace him.
3. Johnny Depp
Oh boy… we’re torn on this one. Okay, undoubtedly, Johnny Depp is a proper icon and an actor who has proven himself on more than one occasion.
At the same time, he is one of Hollywood’s most controversial faces, and his recent court battle against Amber Heard hurt both him and her. We wouldn’t put him in third place, not anymore, but out of respect for him, we’d give him an honorable mention among the top 10.
2. Leonardo DiCaprio
DiCaprio is a face that definitely deserves to be here. He is a Hollywood legend, although you’d have to disregard the fact that his private life is a bit icky. But, that did not hurt his popularity and he has consistently shown that he is capable of tackling the most complex of roles on the screen, as well as that he has a nose for a great project. This is a listing we can stand behind completely.
1. Robert Downey Jr.
To be honest, had it not been for this summer’s epic reveal, Downey probably wouldn’t have been on top of this list, but after everything that happened – he deserves it. He is a very versatile and talented actor, someone who can take on any role (even multiple ones in one project), and is also a great guy, so we absolutely agree with this one.
